Gio’s is owned by John Giaquinto who also owns J&S Pork Store in Lodi, New Jersey which sits on the corner of Union Street and Woodside Avenue. Gio’s had their official grand opening this past Saturday June 22nd and the place was hopping with a live D.J. and samples of their delicious fresh mozzarella. All the food is homemade on the premises.

You automatically get that old school Italian feel the minute you walk in. Prosciutto and salami hanging from the ceiling. The smell of fresh cooked meatballs, eggplant rollatini, arancini, stuffed artichokes, fried eggplant, and other fantastic dishes fill the air and immediately have you salivating. On my next visit, I must try the stuffed zucchini with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and homemade breadcrumbs.
