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

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!

One of my favorite spots. The service is truly unmatched – it's really a wonderful experience to dine there. Wonderfully knowledgable and welcome servers. And I love when the chef owners are actually there running the kitchen, working with their staff, and chatting with guests. The food is beyond delicious. It's rustic and authentic, just incredible ingredients being highlighted with beautiful techniques and clear expertise. Cannot recommend Gia enough! And order dessert. Seriously.

Restaurant was wonderful experience! The atmosphere was perfect for our date night. The staff was very friendly and professional. The flow at which all our food arrived was spot-on. We ordered two shareables and when we were done with the first plate we were served the second one. The big efforts on the little things made our date night a wonderful experience, and will definitely be back again soon.
The food was delicious, especially the bruschetta!

100% perfect. 5 stars, hands down. Excellent food. Many changes but several options. Ambiance, decor, table setting are all elegant, casual at the same time, bistro vibe. Service all around was excellent. Timely. Attentive. Not rushed.

We had such a lovely evening at Gia, the food was delicious and beautifully presented, service was welcoming and warm, and the atmosphere wonderful (we stayed chatting for over 3-hours!). We ordered possibly too much food, but it all looked so delicious-the beet salad was fantastic with sweet earthy beets, creamy goat cheese and nutty walnuts, I had the beef cheeks tortelloni which were divine, perfect little pillows of rich tender flavor bombs. Others at the table had pork secreto and bronzino-all delicious. Dessert was roasted strawberries and cream gelato with biscotti-toned down sweetness, light & creamy-summer in a bowl. I love Gia and hope you do too : )

My date and I decided to come by for dinner on a bit of a whim, and I’m so glad we did - we both added Gia to our “we gotta go back” list! We sat at the bar and had a great time making conversation with the bartender and one of the owners. Everything we ordered was delicious - I love a place that knows how to take a few simple ingredients and create complex flavors. Be sure to start with a signature cocktail and save room for dessert!

A perfect restaurant any way you slice it! I've never had a bad bite and the service is warm and friendly. It's a true neighborhood spot, and the owners seem to value running one really great restaurant rather than building a massive empire. Their menu is seasonal and changes daily, celebrating whichever ingredients are best that day. Excellent wine list and cocktails, too!
