Their food is delicious and the service is sweet. I love going here for dinner. OMG… the home made ravioli is so good. I love this place. If you get a chance, try it — it might become your favorite Italian in Marin…

The food was very good and the presentation was very enticing. I had the ravioli stuffed with mushrooms and steak, proceeded by a delicious salad. At first the dressing on the salad was very salty. We sent it back and were offered profuse apologies and a new salad that was perfect. The owner was very personable and funny. He gave us a free Panna cota dessert which is creamy and delectable. I would definitely go there again.

As Italian food goes, the food is a cut above nearby Don Antonio, or Il Forniao or Jason’s. Quite excellent. I had not known that Bolognese sauce is supposed to have carrot in it, that you can taste. The waiter explained this to us after we asked what was in it, because we found it so delicious and interesting. The service is relaxed and friendly, very nice. I have one major complaint though. In the inside dining room when we were there, which was at the beginning of dinner service, maybe 5:30 or 6, there was a really loud noise happening from some machinery in the kitchen. It was constant and very distracting. In the patio out front it was quieter and nicer. If you go, see if you can get a seat in the front patio. They should really do something about the noise. In addition to the machinery noise, the music they were playing in the kitchen was at about the same volume as the music playing in the dining room, so the sound experience was terrible. Only one star off though, because it’s otherwise such a special place.

Service was real bad. Waiter comes, briskly takes our order and leaves. Apps and wine come out quickly enough but we don’t see our entrees or even our waiter checking in for almost 45 minutes. He then brings out the food one plate at a time to our party. Never asking if we even wanted our wine refilled our even acknowledging that there was a massive wait. Food was not that great when it did come out and definitely did not make up for the lack of contact with the wait staff.

Food was mediocre, service was great, expediting and busing need major improvement. Our entrees each came out individually and about 3-5 minutes apart. Wine pairing is spot on. Noise level is HIGH. Will I be back for the Fettuccine Carbonara, no., but I will give it a second try.

Mangia Tornò – roughly translated, to eat and come back! The food here was fantastic. If you know good Italian food then this isn’t a disappointing experience and the staff are all very attentive (as you would expect). I am from the U.K. but worked all over Italy for many years and these guys do a great job in bringing a taste of Italy to this fantastic area of California. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I are locals and this was our first time at Gia’s’; however, we have dined at every restaurant at this location since the 80’s! This was a memorable night: the ambiance is light and up yet relaxing; the food is amazing, different and plated with a flair ( thanks Stefano) ; and the service exceptional. Fabrizio the owner is friendly and genuinely interested in his customers , Ettore our waiter was more than top of the line…friendly …helpful ….engaging. All the servers who interacted with us were attentive and actually looked you in the face and smiled…that’s’ a class act! Grazie, Maria O’Rourke

Pasta was delicious, scallops less so. Ambiance was way too loud and tables are 6 inches apart. Drunken man next to us wouldn’t leave us alone and nobody helped us.

Different atmosphere and a variety of different dishes to try. Great if your willing to experience new tastes and food. Place is small so expect to be cozy, service is great. Glad we tried this place.
