Finally came in to try Gia Mia as I received a coupon at an event earlier in the day. The lunch special is kind of like a pick 2 for 16.99. Portions are kinda small, but it's lunch. Food was alright. Nothing rave worthy. Vodka pasta was pretty good but pasta seemed a little under cooked. Waitress was un attentive. We had empty drinks, sat around waiting for the food, check, etc while she chatted it up with every other table. The manager was helpful and nice.

I have visited the Gia Mia in Downers Grove quite a few times so I was excited to check out the location in Lombard. The space is large and bright with warm accents and a lush welcoming bar. We decided on a whim to check out their happy hour during the week. We were delighted to find out that all their small plates/appetizers are half off. They also offered drink deals including wine specials and a couple of featured cocktails. We opted for espresso martinis which were robust but balanced - quite close to perfection. We decided on three small plates and everything was extraordinarily delicious. We savored each bite to fully appreciate the flavor combinations and fresh ingredients. The prosciutto and fig bruschetta, blackened shrimp and tortellici were so good that a little dance accompanied our first bites. Every dish was delivered with precision and attention to detail. Our bartender was great, too. He was very attentive and made great drinks. Manager was consistently walking around the establishment and appeared to be very hands on. Overall, we had a great experience and look forward to visiting again for a special occasion or just a random day.

Pasta Gia with gluten free pasta and Rigatoni

The food and service were great! Love that they have gluten free options for pasta and pizza.

**Updated Review To start, I appreciate the concern that Gia Mia's staff showed after my first review. I see that they value the experience that each of their customers have. I went back and ordered takeout again. The staff were very nice when I picked up my order. The menu itself doesn't exactly fit my usual appetite so we just opted for pizza again but this time a red sauce pizza instead of a white. The pizza was much more fresh this time around. The taste itself was okay. The best tasting thing was the caramelized onions and I added those on it myself. What is great is that their ingredients seem very fresh.

Rigatoni bolognese and wild mushroom pizza
Alexandra A.

I've been to several Gia Mia locations and this 1 is definitely a favorite of mine (also a fan of the downers grove location too). It's very spacious with floor to ceiling windows. Parking is plentiful as it's in the same area of Yorktown mall. Service throughout was great. My husband and I dined in on a Saturday night and Luis C was our server. He was the perfect amount of attentive and also let us know this spot offers happy hour deals from Tuesday - Friday in the bar area. Our food was timed out well, we were in and out within an hour and a half. We shared the rigatoni bolognese and the wild mushroom pizza. The noodles from the pasta were fresh and cooked al dente and took to the sauce very well. Flavors were spot on with a little bit of heat. The pizza was also delicious, everything was well balanced on it. The rose Mary kind of threw me off but still very tasty with it on there. We then shared the butterscotch bread pudding for dessert. OH MAH GAWD! Maybe it's bc I'm pregnant, idk, but this really hit the spot. The bread pudding was moist, warm and oh so goooooood. The vanilla gelato on top brought everything perfectly together. I need this in my life daily haha =)

wild mushroom toast
Gabby Z.

Got seated right away even though there was a good crowd. This new location is beautifully done inside -- the décor, wall accents, and seating (plus the outdoor area) all give it a nice, welcoming vibe. For appetizers, we tried the wild mushroom toast, which was super good -- the mix of cheeses and sautéed mushrooms worked perfectly together. For entrées, we ordered the Bruno and the Pasta Gia. Both were very flavorful, though I do wish the pasta had a bit more sauce. Still, it was really good overall. Service was great -- our server was attentive and made sure everything came out just right. For drinks, we got the Sicilian Sunshine and the mocktail. If you're not into floral flavors, you might want to skip these, but we actually really liked them.

Pizza

The lunch options are really good and it's a convenient place for a quick meal with colleagues . I had the chicken Milanese sandwich which was really good and the beet salad is always excellent. My colleague got the pizza . W head enough left overs for dinner. Highly recommend!

Calamari, arancini
Krissy B.

Service was alright, nothing special. Calamari lacked flavor. Short rib gnocchi was cold Salad, was just average. Space is nice.

Veggie pizza
Padmaja P.

This place is a great place if you want to go on Monday as they have 50% all pizzas on Monday. Their brick oven pizzas are really good especially their veggie pizza. Their service is great and they took care of us very nicely. The ambience is quite pleasant and enjoyable with family or friends. It's very relaxing atmosphere. Overall, this is a place I would like to go on Mondays to get best food for what I pay.

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant…read more We made a reservation on their website. On a Friday night we were able to get a patio seat and enjoy the nice weather. They have a nice lounge area on the patio as well to enjoy drinks. I had enchiladas. I like that they give you the option to choose two. They also let me get no shrimp in the chicken & shrimp enchilada. I appreciate their flexibility. My husband had the tacos. He chose the three he wanted. There were plenty of options. Positives: -variety of food on the menu -flexibility and accuracy -huge patio and lounge area - kids meal: good options, very reasonable price, includes milk. My son had a chicken quesadilla, mac and cheese, and corn. We also added the churro sundae. He loved it! -good happy hour deals 3-6pm -friendly service I would come back!

My team and I decided to come here to celebrate a goodbye lunch for one of our coworkers. We…read morearrived shortly after opening so the restaurant was quiet and beautiful. I enjoy the light feeling that hits you upon walking in while at the same time knowing that the place is just as beautiful at night. We were sat down quickly and our waiter Gianna met us promptly. We ordered drinks and began conversation. I ordered the cucumber lime drink, while my coworker order the pineapple and coconut drink. When our drinks arrived, our waiter sat them in front of the wrong people and that made for a doozy. We placed our orders and noticed that our waiter was the only one serving about 3-4 tables during the lunch hour! I ordered the barria tacos with black beans and refried beans. The refried beans didn't taste very good, but the black beans were flavorful and complimented the meal well. The Barria tacos were dry and then it hit us that we were not given the consommé that goes with our meal. I also ordered a side of chicken tortilla soup.......it was served lukewarm to cold. Unfortunately it didn't taste good and I sent it back. I won't write Ancho & Agave off just yet, but I'm going to keep a watch for improvements on my next visit.

Overall (A-) This place is really good and tastes exactly…read morelike it did when I last visited. Great safe bet place for Greek Food. Value (B) It is a bit pricey but not too bad around $35/person for lunch for 2 and an appetizer. They have a small plates menu which might be the lunch menu. Service (A) Excellent friendly and polite service. Got the food out fairly fast. And waitstaff was super nice and respectful. Even packed up the leftovers- did a great job Food (A-) I got the combination plate and it tasted exactly how it did 20 years ago. This is both a positive and a negative. Taste was excellent - especially the lamb, meatballs and sauce over the rice and dolmas. Great portion size also. Will get stuff. Came with potatoes and veggies. On the negative it tasted very heavy. I was expecting it to be "lighter". Not sure I am describing it correctly. I am going to order it again as it's excellent but I think I am eating a ton of butter and or oil. Maybe I am not but something gave it the heavy feel. Also with bread service - I appreciate they provide it but feels very 90s. Thr bread was okay and the butter was the small little packages of butter. So I really do like this place and am being overly critical so I would strongly recommend going for a safe bet Greek place. My recommendations for them 1. Too many options on the menu - need to skinny it down 2. Higher quality bread and butter 3. An actual simple lunch menu. Would have loved a combination plate lunch portion for $16.99 vs a dinner portion at $25.99

Food excellent! Went on a Sunday at 2pm thinking we would beat the dinner crowd. Nope, place was…read morejammed. But we were seated in less than 10 minutes so all good. Service was good even with the large crowd, a little slow, but fine. Ive always enjoyed dining here, food and service never disappoints. Only negative was, the floors were like walking on an ice rink! Greasy, oily, something but definitely needs a deep cleaning. Lots of older and disabled folks noticed the same thing entering and leaving. Everyone was talking about it so it wasn't only our group. Excessively slipping and sliding from the front door all the way into the dining rooms. I stopped to help several elderly folks having a very difficult time trying not to fall over. Please have the floors cleaned asap. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
