Gia

The Hottest New Restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul Right Now, July 2024

"Chefs Jo Seddon and Lisa Wengler — both alums of Gavin Kaysen’s Wayzata restaurant Bellecour — have opened Gia, a new Italian restaurant, in the former Cavé Vin Space in Minneapolis’s Armatage neighborhood. Seddon and Wengler have run Gia as a pop-up over the past three-and-a-half years — at their new permanent home, they celebrate freshness and simplicity with small plates like artichoke and polenta fritti and bruschetta pomodoro; mains like Chianti-braised beef and shrimp bucatini studded with plum tomatoes; and desserts like affogatos and lemon tarts with cream." - Eater Staff
