GIO Fabulous Pizza & Martini Bar - Bradenton, FL
Date of trip: April, 2012
Overall Notes: If you are visiting the Tampa, Florida area, type 4805 Cortez Road West in your GPS and head over to GIO’s. On a scale of 1 to 5, the food is truly a 5+. Each time we have been there, the food has been unbelievable. One problem, the service. It’s always slow. Not terrible, not bad, just slow. Perhaps relaxed would be a better word. If you go with the thought of hanging out and savoring the night out, this is totally your kind of place. If you are in a hurry, but want great food – save Gio’s for another night.

Spaghetti Frutti di mare - Perfectly spiced with the right amount seafood and the noodles are served perfectly cooked.
Lobster Ravioli – some might think this is a small portion; however, the flavor cannot be beat. The lobster ravioli is served in a vodka sauce and is absolutely amazing.
The pizza – Naples style pizza. Super thin crust and amazing cheeses and just the right amount of sauce.
Other info: Enjoy the free bread and olive oil, but don’t forget to try some of their appetizers. The mussels and calamari are both favorites of ours. You can also order a small prosciutto pizza if you have a group. Perfect!
Come in shorts and a t-shirt or dressed for prom. All are welcome.
Visiting Tampa, Clearwater, Brandon, Bradenton, St. Pete – head over to Cio’s!.
