Gina's on Congress

Restaurant · Downtown

@infatuation

"Gina’s is the type of pocket-sized neighborhood bistro you might expect to find on a quiet corner of a bustling downtown in a much older, larger city. The building feels like it holds some history in its bones, even if the tables and walls are sporting pristine white tablecloths and shiny new coats of paint. The menu blends classic Italian and French flavors—with handmade pastas and larger entrees that are well worth a full meal—but we like to just sit at the bar and order a bunch of snacks and drinks. Show up during nightly Happy Hour and you can even get those snacks and cocktails for half the price (including a whole section with Negroni variations).  " - nicolai mccrary
