" I can hardly put into words how fantastic my experience at Gia was! The staff were welcoming and attentive, making us feel at home. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly crispy and paired with a delicious marinara sauce that didn’t taste out of a can. For my main course, I enjoyed the chicken cacciatore, bursting with flavor. Though not quite traditional, it was a delight nonetheless. Can't wait to come back with family! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a bit of a rollercoaster at Gia's last week. Start with plated appetizers; the bruschetta was fresh but the bread could be toastier. For the main course, I had the veal piccata which was tender, but the sauce didn't shine. Staff were delightful and accommodating, but next time, I might just stick to the pizza or something simple. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Gia Italian Restaurant felt like being in a cozy little Italian retreat. The family-style servings are definitely a plus! However, I found some of the dishes were average at best. The lasagna was more noodle than filling and lacked robust Italian spices. Despite that, the friendly service made up for it a bit. I’d give it another shot but will stick to safer choices next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gia Italian Restaurant has its charm, but the food left me wanting. The garlic knots were decent, but the marinara sauce could use a kick. I ordered the seafood pasta and found it swimming in a watery sauce with bits of overcooked shrimp. I was disappointed with the lack of flavor. The service was friendly, but I don’t think I’ll be in a rush to return unless I hear it has improved significantly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gia Italian Restaurant has a welcoming vibe. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, which was creamy and comforting, just what I wanted. The service was timely, and the staff were cheerful. I can't rate authenticity too high since it wasn’t made like my grandmother used to, but it hit the spot for a casual dinner. Excellent choice for family gatherings—it feels homey.

" Gia is a great family place! The portions were generous and the prices reasonable. I enjoyed the chicken marsala, which was flavorful, though I've had better elsewhere. The atmosphere is bustling, but it adds to the charm when you’re with friends. I'm looking forward to trying their pizzas next time, as I've heard good things about them. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gia's has always been a consistent place for us. We typically prefer takeout, and it's been hassle-free every time. The gyro meat pizza is unique; definitely a crowd favorite in our family! They do a great job with their crust. Just wish they had better dessert selections. Highly recommend for casual family nights! " (*Curated Review*)
