Gio's Cafe And Deli — Restaurant in Chicago

I must admit Gio’s is the biggest mistake I have ever made !!!!!

I have a condo in the city that is right next to this beautiful cafe & deli for several years, every summer I would jog by it and comment how quaint and lovely the place seemed and make a promise that I will find a free day off of work to stop by and give them a try.

Well that free day was last Friday, I called in an order for pick up and as soon as I made it home and had the first bite is was nothing but pure love , bliss and enjoyment. I am an avid food lover, I only go on vacations and trips simply for the thought of the food experience I’ll get to try at new places.

Gio’s is that place my taste buds have been looking for. I have been here everyday since last Friday ordering a new dish. I am in absolute love with this cafe and deli and will be using them for special lunch dates , favorite go to spot and a gift shop🎁 as well.

All of my family loves to cook and it’s amazing that Gio’s sells some of their specialty products in the restaurant so you can take a piece of them home with you even after you leave and their giardiniera is a perfect addition to a gift basket not to mention their fresh loaves of bread they sell daily. I cannot say enough good things about Gio’s you just have to come on in and see it for yourself. This is truly my favorite hidden gem 💎 in the city as they give you the maximum bang for each and every dollar spent. The portion size makes you feel happy you came and delighted to go right back.

Their ingredients are so fresh and rich once you go you’ll be coming back in repeat 🔁 just like me !!! They are so professional and happy to help they can even take special requests on your order to make sure you love every bite. Ex: I don’t like onions 🧅 but they had a dish that comes with them, I asked if they could not use onions 🧅 but use mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 instead and they made the change effortlessly and deliciously. The attention to detail here is just impeccable.

Thank you Gio’s and your amazing team staff, you help add that special charm and character that makes Chicago the most beautiful and intricate cities in the world 🌎 keep up the good work. As I will be there shortly to pick up my order of the...

From the outside, Gio's looks like a corner store. Inside its a little bit different.

Came in on a Wednesday night and was lucky to find a table. The place has about 8-10 tables so its easy to see why it can get packed. Walk in, seat yourself and immediately someone comes out to serve you bread to start your order. Our waiter was very helpful. Told us everything that was on the menu and they also have about 8 other specials on the chalk board as well.

Now to the food. I order the Chicken Parmesan, which was delicious. Chicken was breaded perfectly and cooked perfectly. And the portion size is huge.

2nd plate ordered was the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp. Pros - Shrimp was great and so was the pasta sauce. Cons - It needed more shrimp. It was basically a plate of Fettuccine and 4 shrimps.

Funny part about our visit is we saw the couple next to us order the calamari and it looked delicious. So our waiter decided to give us a small order of it (their order was huge) and its definitely one of their specialty plates. You can almost order that and 1 dish and be satisfied for 2 people.

Don't forget its... BYOB BYOB BYOB
