I ordered the Steak De Burgo and my fiancee ordered the Chicken Roll. Overpriced, yes, but I figured what the heck - it's an institution and it'll be good. It wasn't. My de Burgo was cool to the point that it had been sitting for too long, and the olive oil that it was sitting in was flavorless and not indicative of a good de Burgo. My fiancee's chicken roll tasted strongly of nutmeg, as if somebody accidentally spilled quite a bit in there - it did not taste good...
Service was good and the drinks were good.

Our entrees (Chicken Romano with Fettucine Alfredo) was excellent but was not worth $22. It should have been no more than $15-$16, in my opinion. I had to send my soda back because there was something on the rim of the glass that was so big, I have no idea how the server did not see it. Overall, the service was slow, but the server did seem kinda bogged down with tables. In conclusion, Gino's is a Des Moines institution and deserves a visit, but their prices need to be more in line with its surroundings.

We have been going to Gino's for years. I can truly say the only meal that I have had here that I did not enjoy was the pork chops and that was years ago. They were just a little dry. We have always...and I mean always had super service. I would recommend any steak and I love their fried shrimp. My husband is a big fan of their Italian fried chicken and if you like chicken livers, try the italian fried style as an appetizer. Very good. In the bar, if you are a long island iced tea fan...Lorraine makes a mean one. :o) The menu here does not change everything is tried and true. The four star rating is because it is smoky in there which is a turn off......I wish every restaurant could be smoke free.
