I ordered a carbonara, what I got was not a carbonara. Wrong pasta was used & was cooked poorly, wrong meat & clearly not a lot of it, & too much sauce. Judging from the other photos here the dish is not consistent, I cannot recommend this place.View more

Went in for lunch. The service was impeccable, the salad with chicken (which sounds simple but isn't) was delicious. Excellent food & atmosphere. I will definitely be back! Yum!View more

Restaurant is charming & had a decent ambiance. However, the food was overly salty &/or blend. I had the carbona which was overly salty, which I had to return. I then had the spaghetti aglio e olio which was tasteless. Waitress was nice enough & took both meals off as I only had two bites. My friends had a similar experience as me but my wife had the tuna stuffed pasta & enjoyed it.View more

The negroni was good. Focaccia was served cold. Caesar salad was lacking in flavour & the bacon was ice cold. Pomodoro oddly reminiscent of canned tomato soup. Meatballs were dry. No real seasoning or use of herbs.View more

My friend & I went to Cantina Gia on a Saturday evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our calamari & our pasta dishes! Venue is a mixture of old & new. What a gem in the Glebe! You definitely need to go & check it out!!🥰😋.View more

We've been wanting to try this spot for over a year now & finally got around to it. The atmosphere was great, along with our server - she was very attentive & kind. The food was good but similar to other reviews I was expecting a bit better. Focaccia & the lamb pappardelle were great though. Highly recommend the Tenuta Monteti Caburnio 2017!View more

The place is very cute & service was great but it was the worst pasta dish I've ever had. Tasteless & cheap on the meat. I had the lamb pasta but could barely see find. All this for $29!View more

Wonderful take on Italian in a charming environment. Great for solo dining, bar seating is wonderful & service great. Wonderful cocktail- whiskey sour, lots of great options. Switched my pasta out for bucatini in the Cacio- great choice. Focaccia app is wonderful & well priced!View more

I really wanted to love this place because it's beautiful inside & because of all the hype around it, but it really just did not meet expectations. It was very loud, the service was slow, & the pasta was bland.View more

The burrata & foccaia were amazing. Chicken was very good as well. The Brussel sprouts were fantastic & huge portions for the sides. The only thing that wasnt perfect was the pork, it was very dry.View more
