M	Maria Tselios on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Aside from the pictures we also had pappardelle and pulled pork but got too excited and forgot to take a photo. Everything was delicious and the staff super friendly. The desert chocolate and raspberry was a highlight as I haven’t tried it anywhere else. Also the white wine, their own label was very nice as well.
A	AL Valan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ AMAZING!!! Tried this last minute and was so pleasantly surprised how truly incredible it was, and so much cheaper than anticipated. A real gem, and the service was incredible! So attentive and friendly! Thank you for a wonderful time. ?
D	David Fuentes Doran on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The food here is incredible and it's very reasonably priced. They don't take reservations so there can be a bit of a wait sometimes but it's well worth it. Can't wait to go back!
r	rateb aldrobi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had an absolutely great time here! We tried many many things pretty much all the pastas and protein options. My top choices would be the veal for protein and the gnocchi although everything else is really good! The dessert was phenomenal as well, would highly recommend the Nutella cheesecake. Average per person will be around $35-45 if you plan to get a pasta, protein and dessert. Only better if is maybe if the music was little quieter but not the end of the world.
L	L K on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic Italian Food!!! Bravo!!! The service, food and atmosphere were in total harmony! Such a wonderful night we spent - eating, drinking, laughing and taking many photos of our dishes! Started with Italian Beer - Peroni (light crisp) & Birra Mortetti (dark & tasty) Later for dinner we shared a bottle of white - i cant recall which one it was but it went well with my dinner! Decided to share 2 mains: Butternut Squash Crespelle pasta made in house & Seafood Cartoccio & the House Made Foccacia The crespelle sage butter sauce was so good - I cleaned that plate up!! The Cartoccio was so lovely, all the seafood was cooked just right! I used the bread to mop up the delicious sauce/juices! The restaurant was busy and we had an early reservation so we ordered dessert to go - my friend told me the next day - it was unbelievable! This restaurant is on the higher end of places I frequent, but for a splurge on a birthday! It was perfect! Love love love - Gio Rana's Really REALLY Nice Italian Restaurant!! Follow the nose!! <3
F	Felicity Ni on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My husband and I decided to check out Gio Rana’s as we live nearby and we’re curious about the giant nose. We were overall quite pleased. The food was so good and beautifully presented. I had ordered a small salad (Brussels sprouts slaw from the Contorni part of the menu) and as it had arrived after the pasta (I ordered pappardelle), it was extremely filling. I wish they’d brought the salad before the pasta, but it came much later. Oh well… the food was filling so it was fair in terms of price value. Serving time was a bit slower, though business started to pick up after we arrived. We noticed that people who arrived 20 minutes after us were getting more attention and faster service than we were. The outdoor dining was also not the best experience. Space is fairly cramped in Leslieville in general, and we were seated on the roadside between pedestrians and buses and cars. I would recommend indoor dining instead or eating on the other side of the sidewalk.
H	Hiba on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing food and experience! I’m so glad we randomly came across Gio Rana’s Really Really Nice Restaurant and decided to enter; I have to say, the giant nose really intrigued us. I highly recommend their Braised Veal Ossobuco paired with the Tagliatelle (mushrooms, cream, roasted walnuts, and thyme) pasta.
C	Carolyn Bui on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My landlord recommended this restaurant to me and it did not disappoint! Everything was packaged nicely and arrived warm. Food was tasty, hopefully I can dine in at some point after the lockdown.
