   First time at Gia. So great. It’s always a treat to have a gluten free meal at such a great Italian restaurant. My only bit of feedback would be to have a gluten free baguette available for the apps ❤️

   The restaurant, despite being beautiful, surpasses its fame more than the reality of its food and service. The staff is a group of incredible girls, but the food is not good. We ordered rigatoni pasta with sausage, and my husband had a shrimp risotto (which had no shrimp and instead had scallops). I feel like they are constantly supervising the table, interrupting at all times to ask if we need anything or if we haven’t paid yet, and there is always pressure to leave. It was my anniversary dinner, and we honestly felt pressured the whole time. The food was almost cold (without being completely cold), which is why we didn’t return the dishes. They arrive straight to eat, but if you wait even a minute, they cool down. For appetizers, we ordered focaccia and olives with pecorino (which I think is overrated – paying $12 for such a poor appetizer that literally had 4 cubes of pecorino). We ordered some prosecco, and that was fine. We didn’t order dessert because, honestly, the dishes weren’t memorable, and I didn’t expect a good dessert. verall, for a bill like yesterday’s, my recommendation is that there are thousands of better options, so if you have the chance to go, don’t go!!

    Lovely lunch! A go to spot for lunch with a good friend! Love the arancini, especially. Very fond of the rose wine, too!
