Gio's
About
Gio’s is a contemporary Italian restaurant perched on the Grand Canal in Venice’s San Marco district, where the sizzling flavors of Puglia meet the refined elegance of Veneto. The venue offers an intimate terrace that glows with candlelight, perfect for romantic dinners or alfresco aperitivos, and a bustling dining room that echoes the historic charm of the odour‑rich St. Regis Venice. Executive Chef Giuseppe Ricci—rooted in Puglia yet seasoned by international experience—crafts dishes that narrate a culinary journey from sunny southern Italy to the lush northern provinces, each plate a homage to regional traditions presented with modern flair. The menu features breakfast, lunch, and dinner service, complemented by a curated wine list curated by Manager Miriam Quartesan. With a lively atmosphere, impeccable service, and a central location by the water, Gio’s invites guests to savor Venetian hospitality in its purest, most authentic form.
