Why they're an Icon

MICHELIN Plate
2022

From the OpenTable editors: Gia crushes the meat-free Italian game with luscious housemade pastas that spotlight seasonal Ontario ingredients, including one epic tonnarelli tartufo with cashew truffle butter sauce. But the space seats just 35, so you’ll want to plan ahead to sample the restaurant’s plant-based masterpieces and organic wines.

The service was fast and kindly. Great knowing that the menu was vegetarian. For quieter dining I recommend arriving before 6.

I’ve been going here for many years and have never been disappointed. The food is incredible, the staff phenomenal, and the ambience is perfect for a date or a night out with friends. Highly recommend the meatballs and literally any pasta. And when in doubt on wine, any one will do because the list is well curated. You can’t go wrong here.

The food here was incredible. Everything melted in your mouth and I think most carnivores wouldn’t miss meat one bit. The service was wonderful, the wine list was great and we couldn’t complain about a thing!

The 2nd visit this time and we were very excited to try their new menu. Drinks: Bramble On (no egg whites) and Tom Ford. Both were exactly what we were looking for and tasted great. Food: Beet Cappelletti which was very nice, and definitely enough for one person. We then went for the Pappardelle Ripiene. This was just amazing, and the highlight of the meal. No matter what you order, definitely get the Pappardelle. It was perfect. We then ended with the Tiramisu, which was fine. The espresso soaked cake inside was subtle yet evident. We are looking forward to dining here yet again in the near future.

GIA is a wonderful restaurant. The service was exceptional, some of the best we have ever experienced. The food is clean and tasty. The meatballs and brie were the highlight of the meal. The pasta bolognese was good, but it did lack some flavour. The restaurant is bright and cheery. It can be a little bit loud but that is expected for a small space. We enjoyed our experience and we will be happy to return.
