I ABSOLUTELY LOVED GIA. I normally don't gush about restos, but this one deserves the praise. High end vegan and vegetarian food at an exceptional price point. The service was impeccable (shout-out to the bar manager serving my table who kept my friend and I well-nourished and imbibed for the duration of our meal. She was friendly, fun and pointed us in the right direction for food and wine choices that suited our tastes. Only thing was the two hour table limit. For a resto with such great food, you want folks to be able to enjoy it at a slower pace and really feel the finer dining experience that the food implies already. My friend and I would have probably stayed another hour and had another round, if allowed. That being said, will definitely be back many times if the food, staff and ambience remain at such high quality.

Service was the best we have experienced in Toronto! So much attention was paid to our daughter's experience that it made experience special. The food was sublime! Easily the best kake salad in the city. And the porcini?! Just amazing! We have a new #1 restaurant in Toronto.

I have been to GIA before and the food is mostly delicious! This time I tasted the Porcini Agnolotti. The pasta was tender and coated in a velvety butter sauce. My husband had the gnocchi which unfortunately was not so good - texturally similar and under seasoned.

The food was great. I loved the focaccia and there were plenty of vegan options. All our servers were also great. Super friendly, they had great suggestions, and were friendly. The space was a little small, crowded, loud but that's normal in Toronto, especially on Valentines day. Overall, we were very happy with the experience.

We had an amazing experience at Gia on Valentine’s Day! The food was so delicious and it immediately made the top of our list of best restaurants in Toronto, and it’s fully vegetarian which is a huge plus! Toronto was missing a restaurant like this!!! We were super happy with the delicious food and over all wonderful dining experience. Plus, it’s awesome that you get to see Chef Francesco and his team cooking up a storm with so much finesse just steps away from your table. We will definitely be back!

This is my third time visiting GIA and the service and food have been spectacular everytime. The gnocchi and the porcini are so delicious!! This time we went for my sisters birthday and they brought out some ice cream with a candle which made it very special. Thank you GIA! We will be back again.

The food is amazing!! Lot’s of tasty vegan options, we will definitely be back! I know there are a lot of reviews saying the servers rush you out but I think a 2 hour seating limit is more then enough time. We had plenty of time to enjoy all the starters, mains and dessert. We really enjoyed the truffle spaghetti, risotto, crab cakes, focaccia and tiramisu. Highly recommend this place for all occasions!

Nothing is worse than spending a decent amount of money at a restaurant and they are rushing to flip the table before you even order. The server came to our table about every 2-4 minutes through out the night which was a little annoying. The food is good for vegan / vegetarian people but beware you have to eat and drink fast.
