Their sauce is outstanding that is all I have to say. The best eggplant Parmigiano ever! But it's too dark

Just excellent! I absolutely loved my chicken marsala! The presentation was great and the marsala cream sauce was incredible. Not easy to get that right but they do. I can't wait to go back and try literally everything else!

First time dining at this restaurant. We met another couple being a place that was half way between us. My wife and I had traditional Italian comfort food. The other couple had some fish dishes. Their dishes looked amazing and interesting presentations. My wife's very much enjoyed her eggplant rollatini and my Italian combo plate was very much as expected. Our friends had salmon primavera, and haddock & shrimp Francese. Although we enjoyed our meals, we envied our friends. All our meals included a salad and pasta. The service was very good. Plenty of easy parking. Right off the highway. Prices were attractive. I give this restaurant a solid four stars. In the lounge, there is a fireplace with evidence of a recent real wood fire. Overall, I enjoyed our night out at Gia Ristorante Italiano, and will be back soon.

The chicken parm is phenomenal. Had a bite of the eggplant parm which was also delicious. They serve bread with some weird bean puree that looks like it might want to be Hummus but definitely is not. Bread is excellent. Weird bean puree stuff is decidedly NOT. Other than that I highly recommend.

This was our first time here, it was great all the way around. I called to make a reservation, she was kind and polite. Our waitress Gianna was lovely, she knew the menu and made great recommendations for appitizers, dinner and dessert.

Service was awesome! Food- eh. Plentiful but a bit bland. 3 out of 4 dishes lacked flavor. Loved the decor in the seating area near the bar. Rustic New England feel.

Wow. Just WOW!!! I did not have super high expectations for an Italian restaurant outside of a major city, but I was 100,000% wrong for that.I came here for my birthday and the "from scratch" kitchen is NO JOKE. From the first bite of fluffy, freshly baked foccacia bread, served with a house-made hummus, I knew I was going to have a new favorite Italian restaurant and Gia restaurant did not disappoint. A free house salad came with our entrees, and the dressing was made from scratch! Everything we ordered tasted like it was made with LOVE, something I don't taste often in my more recent dining experiences post-covid. I unreservedly recommend Gia restaurant....the chicken parm was as big as a large man's palm and I will be ordering it next time, as this time, I only got to gaze at it lovingly on another person's plate. Service was great, our server Angelina was attentive and touched our table several times, even though she got ROCKED with settings after we were sat. Make a reservation and be patient, as this gem gets slammed on weekends, but it is well worth the wait to enjoy a leisurely, well-prepared meal!!Kid-friendliness: Our server was fantastic with my kids and she was a gem and attentive the entire time!!

Authentic Italian cuisine. The chicken parm is amazing. Salmone Primavera is my favorite. The creative specials are always tempting. This is a local gem right off of 146. Easy to get to from Worcester or Providence and worth the drive!Wheelchair accessibility: Main door has 2 stairs but there is an accessible entrance.

Horrible place, poor management, unprofessional owner, very rude people. Food is not authentic. Go anywhere but here!!! I run a real-estate business and have 30 years experience and never experienced anything like this place. Alicante is the real deal right down the street.

HORRIBLE (poor service, rude people, low quality food) do you know what they gave us for Italian Risotto? White Rice. I looked at all the 1 Star reviews and it said the same thing, rude people, poor service, poor quality food. NOT real Italian food. Just a joke. Also waited 40 minutes when we were told 10 minutes. Also dirty silverware. We had to give two of the forks back and one knife. They have went way down hill on everything!!! Want good food go to Alicante.
Had dinner at Gia and it was fantastic. Our server, Savoeun, was friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. She took great care of us. I had the carbonara - it never disappoints. My husband had the veal saltimboca and he loved it. My dirty martini was the best I've had. The portions at Gia are large and the food quality is very good. For dessert I had a dessert coffee with liqueurs. It was perfect. My husband had the chocolate layer cake, which was rich and decadent. Even the salads and focaccia are good. The atmosphere is warm and inviting - casual enough for a dinner out but equally suitable for a romantic date. I highly recommend Gia.

A very strong 4 stars. We enjoyed it so much we made reservations for New Years Eve. Excellent Italian food. Top notch service. We have found our local go to for Italian.

I have never felt the need to write a review but this experience called for it - We waited TWO HOURS for our food. Normally any logical person would leave, but we had a reservation for six for a birthday. Multiple parties who walked in the door left after no host cared to talk to them, and I heard complaints from most tables. Management needs to hire more people, it was a Saturday night and I think there were 3 servers total.

Was traveling local on Sunday and hungry after a busy morning and afternoon. We decided on Italian fare and wanted someplace we had not tried before other than the usual local spots around the area. My wife suggested Gia's Restorante in Uxbridge and I'm glad she did, it was outstanding. I had the spaghetti bolognese and my wife had chicken florentina and the food was as good or better as any meal that I've had in the North End of Boston. Our server, Sarah, was polite and attentive and really made us feel welcome. The Tiramisu was fresh and light, as good as any I've ever had in the past. The building is unassuming from the outside but once inside, the decor is very welcoming and warm, there is a fireplace and it has that old world feel to it. It was a great experience and we will be back.
