"You’ve been hoarding that prized bottle of chianti for so long you can probably call it "aged" at this point. When you don’t want to waste it on your own cooking, head to Gio’s, one of the few BYOB spots in the city and our go-to place to share a bottle and delicious family-style pasta dishes with family and friends. While the casual West Midtown counter-service spot feels like run-of-the-mill neighborhood dining (there’s an exposed brick wall and a few tables adorned in gingham cloth), their juicy lemon sorrento chicken, spicy diablo chicken, and fresh marinara pasta provide the wow. Also, Gio’s allows you to bring in a pie from Antico, their sister restaurant next door, which serves some of the best pizza in the city. It’s a pizza and pasta combo that will make your chianti proud" - demarco williams, juli horsford, nina reeder
