"This ode to Italian grilling honors the simplicity and comfort of meals shared in the Tuscan and Abruzzese countryside, but transplants them into an annex of Saint-Henri’s historic RCA building. Run by the team behind the widely adored Elena and Nora Gray, Gia’s exceptional Italian fare comes as no surprise, though this spot has a more rustic feel than those sister spots. Expect dishes like arrosticini (grilled meat skewers) and other smoky, charcoal-grilled proteins, fluffy focaccia, pici (hand-rolled pasta) in creamy white Bolognese, and a selection of natural wines. This cocoon of wood, terracotta, and granite makes the perfect backdrop for date night, dinner with friends, or a special celebration." - Valerie Silva
