Short answer: Yes! Would recommend!…read more Long answer: Came to celebrate 2 birthdays and was sat at "the chefs table" which is a high-top table right in front of the kitchen. It was just too hot sitting there and also noisy from the kitchen and orders being called out, etc. Asked (I think) the manager, Amanda, if there's any way we can move to another table cause we are just sweating and wouldn't be able to survive through dinner, haha! We also had our 83 year old grandma there so we were even more concerned for her well being. Amanda was accomadating with offering us a different table as long as we could finish in 90 minutes. I told her I'll take it! She felt bad for the time limit also, but I told her I appreciate her accommodation even more. The food and drinks turned out great and the service was superb along with a unique ambiance! Definitely recommend!

It's about $16 for the Avocado Salad. This has cilantro, cucumbers, red onions, and tomatoes. A lot but it wasn't that filling. This is still probably the healthiest thing you can order. Got to come at happy hour. It's from Mondays to Fridays and includes drinks and some food items. They're open later on weekends.

On my…read morevisit here, I had the opportunity to try two dishes off the shareables menu and was super impressed with both of them. Service was also quick and friendly throughout the entire meal. The Birria egg rolls were a bit on the smaller side but made a big impression with its preparation. I've never had birria wrapped in anything as crispy as the wonton wrapper this was wrapped in. The birria was flavorful while being tender and not being too salty. The white cheddar and chihuahua cheese added a small amount of extra saltiness and a bit more fat, which matched well with the chipotle aiola. The duck poutine was incredibly flavorful, while sitting on the edge of potentially being too bold. The fries were incredibly crispy though there was quite a bit of gravy on the dish and the white cheddar cheese curds did a great job of keeping the entire dish hot throughout the meal, while adding a little bit of extra flavor. The bacon and onion added some umami though it almost made the dish a bit too salty and the duck confit added a nice protein element. Overall a little pricey, but given the more unique menu and quality of both the flavors and textures, it's worth the premium. The food here is definitely memorable and in line with excellent options available in Geneva.

This time, my husband and I decided to have a dinner date and actually dine in at the St. Charles location for the 1st time, which gave us the perfect opportunity to try a few new things along with some of our favorites. We started with the Italian Farm Salad to share and a bowl of Tuscan White Bean Soup. Such a nice touch that they split the salad onto two separate plates for us without us even having to do it ourselves. The salad was fresh and bright, and the soup was so warm, flavorful, and comforting. Our server, Izzy, was absolutely the BEST! She was so sweet, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. I wanted the Chicken Parmesan but asked if I could substitute the marinara with Bolognese for an upcharge while still getting the marinara on the side. OMG... I think I found my new favorite dish! It was SO good. I might just have to call it the "Izzy Chicken Parm" from now on because I'm not sure I'll ever be able to explain the order again and get it exactly the way Izzy put it in for me! My husband loves their Pasta Carbonara, so of course he had to stick with his usual. We also decided to try something new and ordered the wood-fired Prosciutto & Arugula pizza. After a few bites, we realized it just wasn't for us and seemed a little undercooked. We mentioned it to Izzy, and she couldn't have been nicer about it. She immediately offered to have a different pizza made for us and even offered to box up the first one for us to take home. We ended up switching to the Pear & Caramelized Onion pizza, which we've had before and already know we enjoy. So our dinner ended up being the perfect mix of trying something new and sticking with a few favorites. We absolutely love the food at GIA MIA, but Izzy's wonderful service made this visit especially memorable. We'll definitely be back for another dinner date--and we'll absolutely continue ordering delivery too! And Izzy, if you see this... I'll be back for my "Izzy Chicken Parm!" :-)

The pizzas were delicious, and a small is definitely plenty for one person. The meatball sliders were SO good -- the flavor was incredible. And the pepper spread? My husband was practically ready to lick the little ramekin clean! He wanted a simple salad rather than one of the specialty salads on the menu, and they were more than happy to customize one for him. Even the ranch dressing was fantastic.
