Gia Restaurant

The restaurant describes itself as 'plant-forward' and marks many dishes (P) for plant-based. Multiple vegan options exist across all menus (e.g., arancini, rigatoni bolognese, potato gnocchi, coconut chocolate gelato). However, the kitchen is not dedicated vegan; shared equipment and cross-contamination with dairy/eggs is likely. No vegan certification or dedicated kitchen evidence.

The menu is heavily vegetarian-friendly with many dishes marked (Vegetarian) or (P) plant-based. Options include burrata, agnolotti, ricotta gnocchi, and various salads. Shared kitchen with meat-based dishes (e.g., meatballs) means cross-contamination risk. No dedicated vegetarian kitchen.

Menu items are marked (GF) for gluten-free, including risotto, salads, and some desserts. A gluten-free penne substitution is available for +$3. However, the kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free; shared fryer and prep area are likely. One coeliac reviewer on FindMeGlutenFree reported no reaction after eating the asparagus risotto, but the venue is listed as NOT a dedicated GF facility. No accreditation or dedicated kitchen is noted.

Several dairy-free and plant-based options are marked with a (P), and vegan dishes are available. The venue is noted as 'Good for dairy-free.' That said, many dishes contain cheese, butter, or cream, the kitchen is shared, and there is no dedicated dairy-free area or certification.

Menu items are marked (E) for egg content. Several egg-free options exist (e.g., plant-based dishes). However, eggs are used in multiple dishes (agnolotti, ricotta gnocchi, tiramisu) and the kitchen is shared. No dedicated egg-free area.

Menu items are marked (S) for soy content. Several soy-free options exist, but soy is present in many dishes (rigatoni bolognese, potato gnocchi, spaghettoni stefano). Shared kitchen. No dedicated soy-free area.

The venue's official Allergies & Restrictions page states that its menu has a high percentage of nuts and that no menu item can be guaranteed completely free from nuts or cross-contact. Guests with severe allergies are advised to bring an epinephrine auto-injector. This explicit warning makes the venue inappropriate for nut-allergy diners requiring safety.
