Everything on the menu is delicious. The atmosphere is warm & quaint like you’re visiting someone’s home. The salad dressings are seriously the best. Great for a small family gathering or date night. It’s BYOB, probably the only one in the area. They also have...phenomenal cooking classes for kids one Saturday a month.More

The three of us had a wonderful lunch . We all ordered the steak salad. The steak was tender and the white balsamic dressing was a great match for this salad.

The food is really very good here but the service makes it just not worth while. Today I arrive to a half empty restaurant and was told it would be about 10 minutes before they could seat me. 15 minutes later they did walk me...back to a small corner table. During my weight no one entered or left the restaurant which made me curious as to why I had to wait to be seated in the first place. I ordered a nice meal and soup. After another 25 minutes with no bread, no soup, and no sign of a server I decided enough was enough. I stopped by the front counter on the way out and said I was leaving but I would appreciate providing some comments to the manager. I was told the manager was busy cooking and asked what I wanted. When I asked about the delay to be seated I was told very nonchalantly that they don't see people as soon as they arrived because people don't expect to get their food right away. Seems to me the dining room is too large, perhaps, except it's very small. I asked how it could take 25 minutes for soup to come out. The answer was we are bringing it out right now. Their entire attitude was clear that they thought I was in the wrong and should have no reason for concern. Won't be back.More

My boyfriend and I do not care for chain restaurants at all, so we are always looking for a new place to try. Gia Visto did not disappoint. The food wad hot and seasoned well and the service was attentive, but subtle. From appetizer to...dessert we were pleased. It is BYOB which I was not aware of, but will remember for next time.More

Delicious and affordable! My friends and I had great service along with delicious food at Gia Visto recently. From the apps list we had cripsy eggplant, meat & cheese platter, greens and beans and bruschetta. We each ordered a pasta dish from the entree list...and they came with your choice of soup or salad and all very affordably priced. Bread basket for the table as well w/ dipping oil. The tiramisu is one of the best I've ever had!More

Of course if you are going to propose you'd have to pick a good place for dinner right?! Gia Vista is above & beyond in their quality of food and the flavors they present. A wonderful, quiet and romantic little spot perfect for special occasions...or a more intimate date. Traditional italian fair and american favorites. If you want a special evening...you can't go wrong here!More

Friends and I stumbled upon this restaurant and were glad we took a chance. Nothing fancy, but the menu was varied and interesting, the service was great, and the food was terrific. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in that area.

Have been here several times and for the most part it’s usually good. Went last evening and food was so so. We ordered meat and cheese tray for appetizer and it was nothing special! There was prosciutto which had no flavor and it seemed to...be old, then pepperoni slices; the cheese was nothing special and it seemed to be a white cheddar, longhorn and a hard cheese like Parmesan. There were 3 crackers and fig spread. Mostly it was bland, don’t order. I ordered beans & greens with chicken for meal and there was no flavor! The chicken tasted old. Husband had fish dish which he enjoyed. Service was fine. Just disappointed in my meal and with appetizer. May not back for a while.More

I had dinner with three colleagues after a hard days work. It’s not a fancy restaurant with chique table and exclusive wines. Actually we could even not buy wines. But this was all very much compensated by the food and service. We took 3 pastas...and gnocchi dish. All of the had original compositions and fantastic taste. Recommend to everybody who like original Italian cuisine and relaxed atmosphereMore

Wife and I stopped at Gia Visto because we heard it was good.The service was good but the food was terrible. Portions are small for the five star prices you pay and believe me this is no 5 star place. I ordered rigatoni with bolonese...sauce what i got wasn't bolonese there wasn't any meat in the sauce I also ordered meatballs that tasted like plastic bag freezer burn. We won't be back.More

Service was slow for lunch. Atmosphere is lacking. Wedding soup was watery with few meatballs. The bread was the best part of the meal. I had the Italian panini which had way too much bread and way too little meat and filling. Menu looked decent...and the pizza looked interesting. I will go back, but I will allow more time and I will not order the panini.More
