Why go
Book Gio's when the goal is a polished San Marco meal with a Grand Canal terrace and a clearer culinary point of view than a standard luxury-hotel restaurant. Giuseppe Ricci's kitchen connects Venetian cooking with Puglian influences, making it strongest for special occasions, date nights, and travelers who want refinement without a rigid tasting-room feel.
About Gio's
Gio's in Venedig is a formal restaurant serving Modern Italian and Venetian cooking with Puglian influences. The chef/owner is Giuseppe Ricci, and the listed price is $120 per person.
The clearest reason to consider Gio's is that its identity is specific without being narrow: Italian and Venetian cooking shaped by a Puglian point of view. It is best approached as a formal Venedig meal rather than a casual stop. The formal dress code should also shape the plan, especially for dinner.
Veneto meets Puglia without turning dinner into a lecture
Giuseppe Ricci gives the restaurant its strongest point of distinction. The cuisine is Modern Italian and Venetian, with Puglian influences, which makes Gio's useful for diners who want a Venedig restaurant with a broader southern Italian accent rather than a purely traditional Venetian brief.
Treat Gio's as a formal Modern Italian and Venetian restaurant, confirm the current menu directly if particular dishes matter, and use the $120-per-person price as the clearest expectation for spend.
Gio's also has a confirmed Falstaff 93 Points rating for 2026. That recognition supports its positioning as a serious dining choice in Venedig, but the most important practical details remain the cuisine, chef/owner, price, hours, and formal dress code.
The schedule makes it flexible, but the tone is formal
Gio's serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. Hours are breakfast from 7:00 AM to 10:30 AM, lunch from 12:30 PM to 2:45 PM, and dinner from 7:00 PM to 10:15 PM.
That range makes the restaurant more flexible than a dinner-only venue, though the formal dress code means it should still be planned deliberately. Breakfast may suit a structured start to the day, lunch fits a midday reservation, and dinner fits an evening plan.
The grounded reasons to choose Gio's are its Modern Italian and Venetian cuisine with Puglian influences, Giuseppe Ricci's leadership, the $120-per-person price point, daily meal periods, formal dress code, and Falstaff 93 Points recognition for 2026.
Who should book, and who should spend elsewhere
Book Gio's if you want a formal Venedig restaurant with Modern Italian and Venetian cooking, Puglian influences, and a clearly stated $120-per-person price. It is a fit for diners who value a defined culinary identity and want a formal meal.
Spend elsewhere if you want an informal meal, a lower-priced option, or a restaurant where the dress code is not part of the experience.
