Everything points to a higher-than-average rating, but still not a perfect score.
Food:
- Parmigiana 5/5
- Tagliatelle della casa 3.5/5
While the baked dish was just perfect, the mushroom Tagliatelle felt almost tasteless and the mushrooms tasted undercooked. That might be an original taste of the dish, but I definitely didn't enjoy it.
The service is also uncertain. While 2 gentlemen kindly help, there are other less qualified people (without getting into details)
Friendly and welcoming staff, great atmosphere, tasty Italian food at a great location! We visited Gino’s on our recent trip to Oxford and Bicester Village and were really happy with our choice. The location is super convenient - right by the car park we’d left our car; 5-8min walk from the centre. We had a very warm welcome from the team - the restaurant was rather busy, yet quiet - you could tell people were enjoying the food and atmosphere, we were taken care of very swiftly and even got some dishes recommendations based on our preferences. The food arrived in less than 20mins - it was all cooked fresh and the portion size were perfect! Gino’s has a good selections of Italian dishes and drinks, but perhaps it could be better in terms of the vegan/plant-based options for those that follow such a diet. Overall, we were very happy with the food and the service, would recommend.
This place is the perfect little spot for a dinner or lunch with friends, the service was amazing and we felt welcome as soon as we stepped through the door. The food was also a 10/10
Great price and great selection!! Although it was Friday evening and it was busy we were able to go which was great! The service was a little slow and only one waiter was going around where the other two were waiting? So having this fixed will make it even better. Having some chefs recommendations or customer favourite son the menu will be great. The food was ok and for Oxford being quite expensive it was quite nice to have a place where all the mains where around £10.
Fantastic restaurant in Oxford, staff were friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. Had the carbonara and a pizza on the side. Visited on a Saturday at 7:30 and was busy, tried to get in a few months before this visit and we couldn't as they were fully booked so I would definitely book if you're going on the weekend, can't imagine it's too bad in the week.
Their Menu won my heart as there was many vegan/vegetarian options. Their delicious pasta and homemade tiramisu was one of the best Italian i had in UK. Service and atmosphere was 10 on 10. What a amazing place to be with your friends for dinner.. this place ticks all boxes for me.. good food good service.
Had a lovely lunch at Gino's on our visit to Oxford. Sat outside in the sun, my wife had a pizza and I had pasta followed by a delicious home made tiramisu. Authentic Italian restaurant run by an Italian family, I would definitely go there again if I was to visit Oxford.
Great place, very atmospheric and cozy. The food is good quality and the price is very reasonable.
Visited Oxford today so we called Gino’s and they were happy to accommodate a group of 15 people at short notice. The service was impeccable and food was really tasty. A real true authentic Italian in Oxford with a wide variety of vegetarian options. If I visit Oxford again I will definitely come to Gino’s.
Business lunch is inclusive of drinks + any kind of pasta, risotto, pizza
Reasonably priced and delicious!
Kind staff, good food and amazing vibes. Prices were great too. I definitely will be coming back
Had a lovely experience here. Food was yummy and good value but the service was the highlight. The servers are wonderful; especially the multi talented five language gentleman. Recommend for an easy but yummy dinner.
Probably the best Italian place in all of Oxford. The food is amazingly done with the Italian "home feeling" all over. The staff is very nice and a big plus to the head waiter who was both professional and friendly. It is a hidden gem in central Oxford and well woth a visit. Recommendation : The Tiramisu..probably one of the best ones I have eaten.
I've been going to Gino's for over 25 years - since the year it opened, in fact! It quickly became, and still is, one of my very favourite Oxford restaurants... after all these years, still the best Italian food in the city in my opinion... Always a pleasure to be welcomed - as my guest & I were again last night - by owner, Liberato, and his colleagues..! Great to see it open again! Grazie mille! :)
Food was amazing, the atmosphere was calm and peaceful, lovely Italian music playing in the background which was nice.
The service was amazing, especially the young gentleman and lady, they were very polite and friendly.
