    Margherita
    Jeannette A.

    Came back because we were craving the butternut squash risotto, and we had to send it back :(. Even the pictures can show the difference, they changed the recipe and it tasted like eating roses. No thank you! Please go back to the OG. On the plus side, we switched it with the chicken parm....and was happy. The basil pesto sauce has a strong basil punch and I liked it, my partner did not. But the chicken itself was nice a thinned with a great crisp crust. Watch out for the little kick in the Paccheria vodka, it's nice but doesn't linger too long.

    Gia Mia is hands down the best restaurant in Wheaton. Food is always excellent, staff friendly but efficient and the atmosphere is casual but cozy. We go here often. It's our favorite. Visited this week for my birthday. We had the Prosciutto and Fig Bruschetta as an appetizer. It was perfectly grilled bread with fig jam, ricotta, and Prosciutto with a balsamic glaze. The ricotta and Prosciutto are so simple but such high quality - excellent. I had the Scottish Salmon and my husband had the Chicken Piccata. The salmon is served in a light sauce over farro with asparagus and baby squash. And if you like briny capers, you will love the Chicken. We finished with the Tiramisu. Gia me also has excellent pasta and wood fire pizza. Honestly, there is nothing on the menu I don't like

    Al fresco season in downtown Wheaton is back and best believe Gia Mia is part of it! A group of 5 of us dined in for dinner and for a weekday outing this place was BUSY. The first person to arrive opted to sit indoors which is fine! We were seated at a table across from the bar. The area itself felt tight but thankfully the table seating itself was spacious enough for us. Service throughout was decent. Everything was timed out well and we didn't have any long waits in between. I got the paccheri vodka pasta and it was good! I've had this dish at the downers grove location so I was expecting the sauce to be more saucey. From here it was on the thinner side and the amount of sauce given was good enough. The noodles were cooked exactly how I like em though, al dente.

    Great service and really good food! Not a huge space so I would go for a cute date night or a small group. Intimate setting with nice decor. Their wood fired pizzas are so yummy!

    First time at Gia Mia! Greeted immediately but the restaurant was super busy so there was a 10 minute wait. For our appetizers we got the Zucchini Fries which were fire, Ricotta + Honeycomb was delicious too, the Spinach + Artichoke Fonduta had a bit too much spinach but still pretty good. For our main entrees we got the Pear + Caramelized Onion and the Paccheri Vodka Pasta - both main entrees were solid! Definitely recommend this place to all in downtown Wheaton.

    The food was pretty mid, the pasta gia was definitely better than the carbonara, but the dessert was the best thing here

    Lovely place to have a meal with wonderful menu options. Our whole table enjoyed the food and the ambiance. Calamari $14 - Very good, lightly breaded and fried. Brussels Sprouts $8 - Flavorful dish. Stinger pizza $15 - Love the thin chewy crust, delicious combination of toppings! Paccheri Vodka pasta $18 - Great merriment of sauce and sausage in this pasta. Medallions of Beef $29 - Steak is tender and the sides are perfectly seasoned. Dolcinos $13 - Dessert sampler is a great way to try a little bit of 4 different types of desserts. I liked the strong coffee taste in the tiramisu and the vanilla bean gelato was a hit. We came for a birthday celebration and they gave the birthday girl a complimentary pistachio ice cream, what a nice touch! I'll have to remember to check out their half price pizza on Mondays. Reservations can be made on Resy. Street parking is easy to find. They have 6 locations around Chicagoland. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024

    Italian bourbon sour
    Maria R.

It was so good. Definitely the service was great. The ambience was really casual. Laid-back absolutely liked. I can't wait to go back. the food is amazing seriously!!

    Prosciutto and Burrata
    Kristena R.

    This is a lovely Italian restaurant with great menu options. I came here with a friend and it was definitely an excellent choice. We really enjoyed the food and the relaxing atmosphere. We ordered the prosciutto and burrata and the zucchini fries for our appetizers. Both were amazing. The burrata was perfect and came with delicious prosciutto slices and pizza bread. For dinner, I ordered the paccheri vodka pasta. I loved the giant rigatoni and small crumbled pieces of Italian sausage. I would order this again for sure...I'll be back in the future!!

    Burrata Pie

    Service was great! Everything we got here was so delicious and cake out so fast. I've literally been thinking about this pizza since I ate it, the cold burratta cheese on the warm pizza is so delicious. Literally cannot wait to come back here

    Pear and Limoncello Fiesta
    Danae S.

    Came here to meet a friend. I made a reservation, and good thing I did because it was busy for a week night. Service was fast. It was a little loud, but just because it was busy and lots of people were talking. I got the pear and limoncello fiesta. Light pear and lemon flavor. It's not too sweet. Pizza was yummy as well, great crust!

    Pequod's is a staple for Chicago pizza, and a great spot to grab dinner with a group. It gets…read moreextremely busy, so securing a table takes a bit of planning. We ordered the pepperoni deep dish and the pepperoni tavern style. The deep dish arrives in a cast iron pan, featuring caramelized crust that edges on burnt for a perfect, crispy crunch. The base is thick and doughy, layered with some mozzarella, a tasty sauce, and slightly charred pepperoni. The tavern style provides a nice contrast. Served cut into squares, it has a solid thin crust that holds up nicely under some melted cheese and loads of flat pepperoni. This remains my absolute favorite deep dish in Chicago, and I go anytime I'm in town visiting. Pro tip: Make a reservation well in advance because walk-in wait times get incredibly long.

    Please be warned that on a warm and humid day in Chicago Pequod had no AC for being seated inside!…read moreI was sweating while having this pizza lol. I had high expectations for this place but it was honestly underwhelming. The pizza had too much cheese, extra costs for adding toppings, and the crust was nothing memorable. Appetizers were good. My group shared jalapeño poppers and the chicken bites, good sized portion chicken and both came with sauce without asking so that was nice. Overall, I really wanted to like this place but it wasn't there as a tourist who's had pizza from different parts in the US. It was a nice try as a first and last time.
