It was the desire to share our Sicilian heritage and Sicilian cuisine that prompted the family to buy an older neighborhood diner and create a new, warm, comfortable family ristoranté in Little Italy, “Café Gia Ristoranté.” We have strived very hard to recreate a Sicilian bistro, a place where one feels like they are in Sicily while dining. Buon appetito!

Everything was wonderful - the food was excellent (their house salad is well deserving of its fame). Fabulous fresh brewed ice tea. Service was excellent - so full we could not even consider dessert.

This was such a cute, quaint little Italian restaurant. I’m in town for a work conference and it’s within walking distance of the hotel. The food was delicious and everyone I went with loved their meal choices. They do no separate checks, which we didn’t know prior to dining but was fine with us. I know that can be a little bit of a down side for some.

All of the staff there was truly amazing. From Kassandra at the spa, to the pool manager Nick, to Hannah and Kyle. The fact that I remember all of their names after an entire day of being outside in a pumpkin patch with three kids, speaks volumes in itself. I had a wonderful time thanks to them. You guys are amazing!!
