Report
Although we got missed and I had to see the manager to put our order in on an incredibly busy night. He went above and beyond. The staff were so apologetic and sincere. Food was delicious. So glad we booked in here. They discounted our bill which was unnecessary so we tipped them to cover this. Short staffed, yes. Customer service second to none. Well done Giorgios

Originally booked for their other restaurant 'Gio' but moved to 'Giorgio' due to unforseen circumstances however we received free bottle of wine and garlic bread.
Resturant was very nice and clean. There was hand sanitizer at the entrance, on every table and at top of the stairs leading from the toilets. Staff were awesome; polite, entertaining and couldn't do enough to ensure are night was a good night. Food was excellent, not been out for food in city centre for along time so can't compare prices with other restaurants in the city but I thought it was worth the cost. Even though they were very
