Gio's Cafe And Deli - Chicago

A friend recommended the baked clams, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. This is one of my favorite spots, and the fact that it's BYOB makes it even better!

This is a fantastic BYOB restaurant, perfect for family dinners! I really enjoy most of their dishes and will definitely be coming back frequently. The staff is amazing and always manages to accommodate us, even when it's busy!

It's a cozy little spot with great food. Just a tip: steer clear of the table near the front door. Despite Gio's efforts with the double doors, patrons tend to leave them open, which can be a bit chilly.

The veal Parmesan here is outstanding. The stuffed artichoke and baked clams are delicious, and the pasta is excellent as well.

I am passionate about Italian cuisine overall, but this restaurant surpassed my expectations. It has a charming, old-school diner vibe, and the service was outstanding. I ordered a chicken parmesan sandwich, and it was incredible, while their bruschetta was perfection. As a chef, it's always a pleasure to discover a place I truly enjoy. This is exactly why I love Chicago. I'll definitely be returning to Gio's soon.
