    We had a great anniversary dinner at Cantina Gia. The food was amazing, the space is lovely and the service was outstanding. The prices are very reasonable.

    Service was high quality. But some of the main dishes arrived with varying degrees of temperature. One was cool too moderate and only one hot. The taste was still wonderful but would have been even better if the food arrived hot

    Excellent food. Very good service. However, chairs and bar stools hard and uncomfortable. Bar stools so uncomfortable we did not stay for desert.

    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 ❤️
