Now Gia Mia might just be the best and most closest meal I've had to real Italian food. I felt like I was back in the south of Italy. The ambiance is nice and it's a large space. The customer service was great. The food is what will keep you coming back. I had the lunch special with my friend and settled on the salad and a Paccheri Vodka pasta. I almost ordered a full portion of the pasta to go it was so good! I was truly blown away. I felt full yet not sluggish. I still had room for dessert and tried the butterscotch bread pudding. It was even more delectable. I'm just not sure how everything they make is that good! There's no way! read more

A little crowded for a quiet date night but great food. Whatever madness they spread on their fontina garlic bread is addictive. My husband says the paccheri vodka is the best he's had anywhere; My go-to is the Tuscan shrimp with polenta. The pizzas are huge and don't reheat well so I steer clear, but that doesn't mean they're not yummy. I heard there are lunch portions on weekdays and that's a fantastic idea. read more

Came back because we were craving the butternut squash risotto, and we had to send it back :(. Even the pictures can show the difference, they changed the recipe and it tasted like eating roses. No thank you! Please go back to the OG. On the plus side, we switched it with the chicken parm....and was happy. The basil pesto sauce has a strong basil punch and I liked it, my partner did not. But the chicken itself was nice a thinned with a great crisp crust. Watch out for the little kick in the Paccheria vodka, it's nice but doesn't linger too long. read more

Very good pizza and great service. We went on Monday for their half off pizza special. A lot of different wood oven pizzas to choose from.

Gia Mia is hands down the best restaurant in Wheaton. Food is always excellent, staff friendly but efficient and the atmosphere is casual but cozy. We go here often. It's our favorite. Visited this week for my birthday. We had the Prosciutto and Fig Bruschetta as an appetizer. It was perfectly grilled bread with fig jam, ricotta, and Prosciutto with a balsamic glaze. The ricotta and Prosciutto are so simple but such high quality - excellent. I had the Scottish Salmon and my husband had the Chicken Piccata. The salmon is served in a light sauce over farro with asparagus and baby squash. And if you like briny capers, you will love the Chicken. We finished with the Tiramisu. Gia me also has excellent pasta and wood fire pizza. Honestly, there is nothing on the menu I don't like read more

Al fresco season in downtown Wheaton is back and best believe Gia Mia is part of it! A group of 5 of us dined in for dinner and for a weekday outing this place was BUSY. The first person to arrive opted to sit indoors which is fine! We were seated at a table across from the bar. The area itself felt tight but thankfully the table seating itself was spacious enough for us. Service throughout was decent. Everything was timed out well and we didn't have any long waits in between. I got the paccheri vodka pasta and it was good! I've had this dish at the downers grove location so I was expecting the sauce to be more saucey. From here it was on the thinner side and the amount of sauce given was good enough. The noodles were cooked exactly how I like em though, al dente. read more

I ordered the Bruno pizza and it was delicious! The restaurant was crowded but the service was good.

First time at Gia Mia! Greeted immediately but the restaurant was super busy so there was a 10 minute wait. For our appetizers we got the Zucchini Fries which were fire, Ricotta + Honeycomb was delicious too, the Spinach + Artichoke Fonduta had a bit too much spinach but still pretty good. For our main entrees we got the Pear + Caramelized Onion and the Paccheri Vodka Pasta - both main entrees were solid! Definitely recommend this place to all in downtown Wheaton. read more

Lovely place to have a meal with wonderful menu options. Our whole table enjoyed the food and the ambiance. Calamari $14 - Very good, lightly breaded and fried. Brussels Sprouts $8 - Flavorful dish. Stinger pizza $15 - Love the thin chewy crust, delicious combination of toppings! Paccheri Vodka pasta $18 - Great merriment of sauce and sausage in this pasta. Medallions of Beef $29 - Steak is tender and the sides are perfectly seasoned. Dolcinos $13 - Dessert sampler is a great way to try a little bit of 4 different types of desserts. I liked the strong coffee taste in the tiramisu and the vanilla bean gelato was a hit. We came for a birthday celebration and they gave the birthday girl a complimentary pistachio ice cream, what a nice touch! I'll have to remember to check out their half price pizza on Mondays. Reservations can be made on Resy. Street parking is easy to find. They have 6 locations around Chicagoland. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024 read more

We arrived at the we had to wait about 5 min for our table which wasn't too long. We got seated and took 5-7 min to get water and another 5 to get a waitress to serve us. We ordered drinks. We were waiting a while. Then she started coming back and out of 4 drinks they were out of something that couldn't be made for 3 of them. Each time coming to tell us what was out of stock or no juice or .... still with no other drinks arriving once we changed our order. We were 5 at a 4 top that they squeezed us in on. The table was fine but not larger than our drinks and plates. I specifically asked the waitress to bring the apps and let us enjoy them before the meal came out but she was not coming by regularly and people were getting hungry at the table. No bread was offered. So I put it all in at once and she assured me it would be staggered. Well it wasnt we got the apps started to share them and them the main came out with like 5 plates at once. We explained that we asked not to have it come all at once. It was a manager delivering the food not the waitress. he was like what do you want me to do and started tring to put it on the table and wanted us to move everything around. There was no way to accommodate the apps and the mains on the small table that was already overwhelmed by having 5 at a 4 top. They put one plate down got frustrated and left with the other food. We finished our apps and the waitress came over, not knowing what had happened we explained that we were frustrated she did not apologize she just brought the food back that was under the warmers. Food was good and great quality. She didnt return to the table the rest of the meal. We would have ordered 2nd drinks and maybe dessert but no service. I flagged her down and asked for boxes and the check. She dropped it off and left again. We probably will not visit this Gia again. We enjoy the St. Charles and Geneve versions very much one of our favorite we recommend all the time which is why we were excited to celebrate and try the one in Wheaton. Food was still excellent but service needs a bit of work. read more

This is a lovely Italian restaurant with great menu options. I came here with a friend and it was definitely an excellent choice. We really enjoyed the food and the relaxing atmosphere. We ordered the prosciutto and burrata and the zucchini fries for our appetizers. Both were amazing. The burrata was perfect and came with delicious prosciutto slices and pizza bread. For dinner, I ordered the paccheri vodka pasta. I loved the giant rigatoni and small crumbled pieces of Italian sausage. I would order this again for sure...I'll be back in the future!! read more

Great little place! Indoor and outdoor seating is available. We stopped in here for an early lunch. The service was great. Very large menu. We started with the meatballs which came with 4. It is very flavorful and fresh. I ordered the Romano chicken salad, and it was great. A little heavy on the dressing, which would be my only critique. It did take a little bit to get our check, but I saw our server had tables at the front and back of the restaurant, and she was constantly moving. On the way to the restroom, I saw they were roasting peppers. They smelled amazing. Great place. I would recommend! read more

Came here to meet a friend. I made a reservation, and good thing I did because it was busy for a week night. Service was fast. It was a little loud, but just because it was busy and lots of people were talking. I got the pear and limoncello fiesta. Light pear and lemon flavor. It's not too sweet. Pizza was yummy as well, great crust! read more

Good local spot in Wheaton. Was recommended to check out this spot for great pasta. Opted to get some small plates, a pasta dish, and wood fire pizza. I wasn't really impressed with the pasta, I quite honestly make better pasta maybe I should start a restaurant. The wood fire pizza on the other hand was really good. Good service and very clean bathrooms. read more

visited Gia Mia in Wheaton to catch up with a few friends. We had reservations and were quickly seated. the service was quickly, however our server did not seem to put all too much effort into being friendly and only spoke to us when we placed our order. I ordered the Scottish Salmon. The salmon was salmon--it was decent but nothing special. It was simply salmon over farro with lemon. I would not go out of my way to go to Gia Mia and get it again. My friends ordered vodka pasta and pizza. The vodka pasta lacked vodka sauce and were coated very thinly. It almost seemed like the sauce evaporated off of the plate. The pizza also wasn't very flavorful. My friends liked their food, but did not think it was anything special either. Overall, the food wasn't bad by any means, but nothing special and I do not think I would go out of my way to get it again. read more

had a reservation before coming in and thank goodness because it was busy inside. thought it would be a little bigger but it wasn't which was fine. but tables did seem kind of tight when eating. got a small place of eggplant parmigiana and a caesar salad. i really enjoyed both but especially the eggplant small plate. the sauce was very good as well and everything went really well together. also tried the vodka pasta and a 10/10, just got no meat. ordered the mock tail and it was super sour so i just added some water. server was very friendly and informative. read more

Tried this place over dinner with my husband. We started with Blackberry & Mint Lemonade and Modern Old Fashioned. We then ordered bunch of small plates like Tomato Caprese Panzanella, Spinach Artichoke Dip and Arancini Mozzarella. All the appies were delicious and were served fresh. We then ordered Hammaker's Pie whuch was absolutely tasty as well. The ambiance was great with a great service as well. I would highly recommend this place! MUST TRY!! read more

Gluten Free Pizza good, gluten free pasta dishes I would deter from. We went there at 9pm (close at 10pm) and even though they were a halfway full restaurant they seemed to be done. They brought out our pasta dishes in 2-3 minutes which would've been impressive IF they pulled it off. The regular vodka was fine according to my husband, but the gluten free vodka had ZERO flavor and as you can see lacked ingredients... I will still try to come back for pizza, especially half priced Monday pizzas but definitely won't be trying anything else. Which is sad. read more

I've been wanting to try Gia Mia for a while and it did not disappoint! I made a reservation for a Saturday night which I recommend because it fills up on weekends for sure. I thought we were going for Restaurant Week, but be aware they stagger RW dates across their 4 locations so Wheaton had already stopped. I started with a pomegranate collins type drink which was ok - mostly lemon and not as fruity as I wanted it to be. We ended up ordering a few apps and a pizza and a pasta to split, and that was the perfect amount for three people! We started with the eggplant parm, shrimp polenta and arancini. The eggplant was well cooked and not soggy and the fennel was a really nice touch! The shrimp was also really good as was the arancini. They are much smaller than a normal arancini but you get 6 of them. We got the pasta gia and the paesano pizza which I would get again! Really good flavors and you can tell the crust and pasta is homemade. We split the chocolate cake and ricotta cheesecake which were really rich and delicious. I'm normally not a cheesecake person because I don't love the tanginess of cream cheese, so the ricotta really made a difference for me! I saw lots of servers walking around with the paccheri vodka so I definitely want to try that next time! read more

My parents and I had dinner recently at the Naperville location of Gia Mia and enjoyed it very much, so while in downtown Wheaton we decided to have lunch at this location. It's hard to beat their lunch special: a small salad and personal-sized pizza (you can choose from an assortment of each) for $13. I liked the earthiness of the wild mushroom pizza but the surprise hit was the Italian farm salad; wasn't sure how I would feel about cauliflower on a salad but it was quite delicious. This location, in an old downtown storefront, is a bit cramped feeling compared to the Naperville location, and even on a week day it was busy for lunch. It's no surprise why it's so popular; the food is yummy, and turnaround was deft, so if you're in a hurry to be on your way, they can handle it. read more

We come to Gia Mia all the time and usually have a great experience, but I was really disappointed with the pricing and service on my recent visit. I ordered the Balsamic Chicken Salad and asked to substitute the Romano chicken instead of the grilled chicken. I was surprised to see a $7 upcharge for this change -- especially since the salad with Romano chicken on the menu is listed at the same price. In the past, the restaurant confirmed that this was a mistake and that it should only be a $2 upcharge, not $7. When I brought it up this time, the manager was very rude and dismissive instead of trying to clarify or make it right, which was really disappointing given how often we come here. I truly hope management reviews both the pricing and how customer concerns are handled, because we've always loved this restaurant and would like to keep coming back. read more

Solid Italian spot with great pizza to boot. Just a suggestion change your beer menu, not everyone loves craft beers and would like a more recognizable drink. Food is delicious but portions are small, not a great value. Generally a solid food choice for Wheaton. read more

Came here on a Monday night for their $7 dollar pizza which I think is a steal deal. The atmosphere definitely gives out a cozy vibe to have a nice dinner with friends, family, or loved ones.

Definitely ordering from here on Monday nights from time to time. read more

Great spot to eat in downtown Wheaton. The service was quick and the food was good as well. Highly recommend trying the ricotta Honey comb, it was delightful. Make reservations on the weekend- this place isn't too big and can get busy. Luckily we had reservations and didn't have to wait. We on the a bench/ table- which unfortunately was accompanied by a family who let their kids bounce on the bench (sucked) so Def request to sit elsewhere if that would bother you-. (Quite annoying but not The restaurants fault). read more

While on a business trip, I consulted Yelp to find an Italian eatery for dinner. This location had it all! We easily located a place to part near the restaurant. The staff was friendly and we were quickly seated in the beautiful tent in the street. This was a perfect location to enjoy the area and great weather. The waitress shared the specials and recommended favorites. The menu offered so many choices it was hard to choose. I choose my meal based on photos shared on yelp. Everything was fantastic from the appetizers to the wine to the main course. The food was delicious and filling. I wish we left room for dessert! read more
