I hosted a dinner at Gia’s for members of our company to coincide with a compliance conference. I am from out of town and our members are also from out of town. Our party was 36 people.

From the very beginning, our interaction with the restaurant was favorable. Upon emailing with questions about the menu and seating arrangements, I was provided with prompt, thoughtful, and patient answers. The reservation process was very simple.

The atmosphere...

I’ve been to Gia’s several times for lunch or dinner. I never order the same thing twice, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every meal I’ve had. My friends and coworkers have been impressed by the service, environment, and delicious meals as well.
This is undoubtedly my favorite Italian restaurant in Baltimore. I can’t wait to go back.

Sat outside on a quiet Monday evening before a concert. The entree choices were more interesting than some Italian restaurants. My partner and I opted for pasta dishes. He had a duck ravioli special and I had gnocchi gorgonzola and both were delicious. We shared the arancini as an appetizer which was also yummy. My only complaints were that they served not so fresh white bread before the meal and that was disappointing. Also, my white wine was not that great either.
