" Dining at Gios was a revelation! As someone who has traveled to Italy, I can confidently say that this restaurant brings the authentic flavors of Italian cuisine right to Pawleys Island. From the incredible homemade pasta to the rich marinara sauce, every bite was exceptional. The service was attentive and our waiter recommended the perfect wine to pair with our meal. I cannot wait to visit again and try more from the menu. This place is seriously the best Italian you can find! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! Gios Italian Kitchen made our night special. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was so inviting. I had the eggplant Parmesan, which melted in my mouth. The flavors brought me straight back to Italy! The wine selection was good, but the service could be more prompt. Still, we had a lovely evening and would absolutely recommend it to others.

" Visiting Gios was a truly enchanting experience! From the delicious appetizer of bruschetta to the splendid seafood entrees, I was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere has a lovely Italian charm that makes it perfect for date night. The only hitch was that our server seemed overwhelmed with other tables. Still, I must say I'd eagerly return for more of their amazing risotto! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gios has the best Italian food in the area! I had the pleasure of dining there last week, and I have to say the homemade pasta is simply divine. The marinara sauce tastes as if it was made from the ripest tomatoes, and the portion sizes left us very satisfied. The only thing I can point out is that it did get pretty loud during peak dinner hours, but that’s just part of a busy restaurant! I still give it 5 stars! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Gios last week with my family, and we were all very happy with our meals. We ordered several dishes to share, and one standout was the bruschetta—it tasted incredibly fresh and authentic. The pasta options were delightful, and my father had the veal which he raved about. The only thing that could be improved was the speed of service; we waited a little longer than usual for our entrees, but we had a great time chatting and enjoying the ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely birthday dinner at Gios. The environment was warm and welcoming, our server was attentive and helpful. I tried the seafood risotto, which was cooked expertly—creamy and flavorful! My only complaint would be how busy it was, as we had to wait quite a bit for dessert. Otherwise, I would absolutely recommend Gios for anyone seeking a great Italian meal. " (*Curated Review*)
