Gio La Mesa

Previously known as the Village Garden Restaurant. Now after nine months of extensive renovation we are reopening our doors as GIO. A modern restaurant that includes a Wine bar, Coffee bar, and a full dining experience. With a covered patio and open terrace. On the prominent corner of Allison and La Mesa Boulevard in downtown La Mesa. *

With its tiled seven foot water wall, stainless steel outdoor fireplace and trick louvered ceiling that lets in moonlight and sky but no rain, one would think they'd happened upon a new trendy hotspot somewhere near Market and Fifth in the Gaslamp.

What a surprise and delight to discover instead that this dazzling Pacific Rim Eatery and Wine/Espresso Bar, designed and built by Randy Duffett, Is instead located on La Mesa Blvd. in the picturesque village of La Mesa.
