Gaia Italiano - Berwyn

Great food and great customer service. I would say better for a date night or a small group. I felt like my 5 gf's and I were a little too loud with our laughter and joyous occasion. Hope we didn't disturb anyone nearby trying to have a quiet meal.

Amazing Italian food, great house cocktails, and professional service!

This was our first visit, and won't be our last! It's always a good test at an Italian restaurant to try the calamari as an appetizer and this one past with five stars. We didn't try it grilled, but maybe next time. Another test for me is the eggplant parmigiana, and my meal was served at the perfect temperature, the eggplant, thin and lightly coated and crispy. Not overdone with cheese in the sauce was very good. The pistachio cream sauce on the ravioli was a little too creamy for me but my husband really liked it. Our dinner companion had the veal saltimboca and said “it's the best!”

The service was wonderful and this restaurant is exceptional in how flexible they are regarding food preparation and making sure your cocktails are exactly how you like them, even remaking them if need be. One person in our party has a garlic allergy and they always do whatever to make sure the food is made to order. I love that they have started some specials. The octopus appetizer was excellent, although we were sorry the halibut special was sold out.
