Gia is a fantastic place to impress a date or host a business meeting. The food was excellent, the service genuinely friendly, and the beverage selection strong (they have a full bar).
Reservations are recommended, but solo diners can comfortably sit at the bar—perfect for a relaxed conversation with the bartender.
The ambiance is elegant yet comfortable, and the acoustics are surprisingly good, making it easy to actually talk without shouting.
I’ll definitely be back.

Bryan is an amazing bartender! I ordered ‘La Última Palabra’ and, having tried it in many different places, this was hands down the best version I’ve ever had. Bryan is a very talented mixologist and a true gem for this restaurant.
The atmosphere is so cozy and inviting. My only regret is that I didn't start with his cocktails from the beginning! I will definitely be back to sit at the bar, enjoy some food, and try more of his signature creations. If you’re looking for a great spot with incredible drinks, make sure to grab a seat at the bar!

Very disappointed by the food and service at Gia - especially for the price. Our waiter “upsold” us to a mediocre glass of champagne, my risotto was mushy and average, at best. The wait staff interrupted conversations multiple times, including a pitch to buy overpriced cookies to take home.

Made a reservation at 12:24 in the afternoon for a reservation at 8:30 on a Saturday night. Email states “Should you need to cancel your reservation within 12 hours of your booking, please call us to avoid being charged.” Called at 4:00 when the restaurant opened to inform them about our change of plans. Informed that we would still be charged $10 per person for the cancellation. I understand charges for no shows or no calls. But if your policy is to charge everyone if they cancel then do not include the statement about calling the restaurant within 12 hours of a booking to avoid being charged.

A Divine Dining Delight!” From the moment you walk into Gia, the decor is cozy, creating an atmosphere that’s distinctive .Every dish is delectable, delicately prepared, and deeply satisfying—a true celebration of flavor and finesse. The service is dedicated, detail-oriented, and delightfully warm, adding to the overall distinguished experience. We were especially delighted that Jo stopped by to drop in and dialogue with us—such a dynamic, down-to-earth touch that made the evening even more distinctive. A definite must-go and deserving of the highest praise. Dining here is nothing short of divine.

This place had not been on my radar but it is now! I got to experience a wonderful 5 course tasting menu here and they knocked it out of the park First of all I just love the ambiance when you walk in , reminded me of a European bistro right away, service was great friendly knowledgeable servers! I knew I was in for a treat when the champagne was fantastic! All the dishes were beautifully executed and delicious - great flavors! The scallop risotto is all l've been thinking about!!! These 2 women owned chefs have opened a beautiful place and with weekly menu changes they are changing the game in the cities Definitely coming back to try more food Parking- there is a small lot but also free street parking
Great first experience at Gia! Sat at the bar and had the pleasure of being served by Jeff. He was super friendly, made us a super fun cocktail , and nailed all the food recommdations! The lamb, meatballs, and pasta were all wonderful, will definitely be back!

The service and cocktails were excellent. The descriptions of the food I ordered raised expectations of a great meal, but portions were small and the food uninspired. There are plenty of other nearby options for italian cuisine that provide a vastly better value.

We dined here for our anniversary with our young family. The kid’s menu was comforting, delicious and flexible for our one more adventuresome eater. The service was lovely, friendly and warm. It was an incredibly special place to celebrate as a family and we can’t wait to go back!
