Always luv Gia Ninas !! Are you doing Easter dinner takeouts??

Excellent food and excellent service!

Authentic Italian food and atmosphere! Love the family feeling, music and friendly staff. Pat greets everyone with open arms! You feel welcomed at every visit ????????

So glad we decided to try it. Service was great, food even better and in love with the atmosphere. Will go again and can't wait.

Went there a few months ago to meet some friends who recommended Gia's. When they told me it was a pizza place I was like what but thought Ok give it try. OMG when you walk in you know the food will be fantastic. From the gracious host/hostess to the unbelievable decor this place is it and more. I raved about to my wife and took her there recently where our server Morgan went out of her way to to make our dinning experience fantastic. My Italian mom would make the best Lasagna ever each Easter and I have never had better until I tried the Lasagna at Gia's sorry Mom. It was unbelievable as was my wife's Chicken Alfredo. At the end of our meal the owner Pat stopped over to ask how our meal and evening were and of course we could not let her leave without raving about the whole dining experience. They have a singer on Saturday nights named Chip who just makes you want to stay the whole night. You will not go wrong or be disappointed.

Food and service was excellent. Very enjoyable byob. First time guest to this establishment. Will definitely make a return visit. Fine job to all!

Had a great dinner there last night with friends. Food was great and so was the entertainment. Will be back again for sure.

I love this place. We stumbled across it a few months back and it’s quickly become one of our top favorites. Always consistent delicious food and service.

This was my 2nd time here with a large group, but the 1st time for dinner. Everything was perfect! The food delighted everyone in our group, and I will be able to have 3 meals from my veal parmigiana entree. The ambiance was beautiful, and yet not too quiet for our large party. The live entertainment was a plus, and added to our enjoyment. Our server, Sunny, was pleasant, professional, and went out of her way to make us happy. I will be bringing more group here!

Me and my wife visited yesterday 6/14/19 and we were absolutely amazed. The food was fantastic and the bread they serve is out of this world. The staff was very polite and on point with customer service. They had a gentleman playing live music and performed the best rendition of a Louis Armstrong strong. It was a nice touch to the intimate setting. We will definitely be returning to try more of the menu.

My husband and I were there on Wednesday, May 15th, 2019. We enjoyed everything from the apps, dinner rolls and entrees (we did not have dessert). We had an excellent waitress named Tess. She was very friendly and helpful. We can't wait to go back to this great restaurant.

Awesome Pizza and Pizza Turnovers along with equally Great Chicken Parmigiana, mostly stop in for take home or get it delivered but have ate in and the service also was good for sure

Amazing Gem, small town setting. great live entertainment Wednesday night through weekend, amazing chef specials that will make you fall in love with food. Warm atmosphere with personable, family like staff. Yes you may feel like you just visited a relatives home.

Ordered a Margarita pizza for pick up and was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. My husband drove over and was there in about 12 minutes. He walked in and paid and 3 minutes later they handed him the pizza(all less than 20 minutes???) He drove home and pizza was cold when he got here 12minutes later—-it looked and tasted like it had been made earlier and was thrown into the oven to reheat for us. Also, traditional margarita pizza is white with garlic, sliced fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil. This pizza had canned tomatoes, mozzarella, no hint of garlic and if you put the pieces of basil together that were on it it would make up a quarter of a very small leaf of basil. We frequent this restaurant for dinners and have ordered pizzas in the past.....this one was very disappointing for $21!!!!!

Friends invited us to join them a couple of weeks ago. We don’t live close. WOW, everything was amazing!! Coming back this Friday night. Looking forward to it.

I”ve lived in the area my entire life (52years) and I just “discovered” Gia Ninas 2 weeks ago - been there 3 times since - unbelievably great food at great prices - crab cakes are awesome - pizza steak ridiculous- I feel like a fool for not trying it years ago - and if you’re lucky the owner Pat will give u a hug and kiss and make your day

Love it here!!! What nights does the piano player sing? planning a visit this week

Is there live music tonight 1/4/19

A hidden gem. Food and service is amazing! Love the live music and the atmosphere.

We get take a lot and are usually disappointed with the food! I heard about Gia Nina's from my niece but never delivered to our area. They do now! I ordered the linguini and clams in white sauce and I was very pleased. My husband got a cheeseburger and he loved it as well. If your looking to eat authentic italian, go or order from here! ????

CRAB BALLS SPIER WAS NOT A GREAT STARTER. I could not eat it. I was truely dissappointed. I LOVE YOUR FOOD, VERY UPSET.

nice food

Great food. Great service. Friendly service.

I was there on Saturday for Jillian Nophut's First Holy Communion party. The food was fabulous. The wait staff couldn't have more accommodating or friendly. I will definitely be back and will use your catering service for my next event. Wonderful. ????????????????????XJ

I haven't ordered take out in a long time but I had my brother & niece visiting me and I had told them we'd do lunch by ordering out. I immediately thought of GiaNinas because their food was always so good, especially their fresh baked bread, which is to die for. I ordered a chicken cheesesteak and it was generously filled with chicken and made to my specifications, it tasted superb, my brother enjoyed an Italian hoagie, also generously filled with meats and cheeses, LTO and seasoned just right, he was very satisfied and also expressed how good their bread is. My niece ordered the ravioli, although a bit pricey @$15 she thoroughly enjoyed them and they were very generous with the amount of ravioli served along with a side salad and fresh baked garlic bread. I recommend GiaNinas if you want to eat real homemade Italian food because they're great and very generous with when preparing orders. I also like to say that the woman who took the order was very nice, patient and very thorough, which was nice for a change bc some places have very rude employees who make you feel like your bothering them but not at GiaNinas, they know how to treat their customers. They were prompt with the delivery and the delivery driver was very nice and pleasant. The meal was worth every penny spent and we will order again in the future. A very satisfied customer.

Enjoyed my 1st time. Server was pleasant, good was excellent. I'm a person who enjoys the So. Philly dining experience..and gias is right up there. I were I'll be returning.

Great service, friendly staff..... DELICIOUS FOOD!

Excellent food, ambience, and service. Recently enjoyed a family holiday party and several dinners here. The entertainment was a nice bonus!

I was only introduced to Gia Ninas this year but have probably been there 10 times!!! Always my 1st go to when dining out!!!

We love Gia Nina's and are sure to always stop when we are visiting the Philadelphia/New Jersey area! There is nothing like Gia Nina's for authentic italian. The chicken piccata is a favorite along with all the wonderful pasta dishes.

Gia Nina's is absolutely the nicest small restaurant in the South Jersey area. It is privately owned, and doesn't fall victim to any of the routine of "chain" restaurants. They offer outstanding meals with always very pleasant service. We visit Gia Nina's for virtually all family events, as our entire family loves to spend time together there. The atmosphere is entirely pleasant, and whether you enjoy trying the interesting daily "specials" or just a man-size bowl of delicious, hot spaghetti with the best meatballs anywhere, give Gia Nina's a try soon!

Just love Gia Nina's. Excellent Chef, food is always perfect. Been going to Gia Nina's for many years, absolutely love the ambience. Everyone is so pleasant, starting with the owner. Recommend this place to everyone, especially visitors from out of town. Thanks to all of you and God Bless!

On Nov 11 we arrived at the restaurant at 610 PM..was told we had a 1/2 hour wait...very crowded..put our name on list for 5 and waited after 45 minutes we were told we were next but that never happened after an hour and 15 minutes We left. Didn’t want to make a scene but will never come back and will not recommend your Restaurant to others

EXcellent service, food great, atmosphere very pleasant

I had dinner delivered to my home on Wednesday after returning home from hospital. It was excellent and plan on going there in the future.

Always have a wonderful meal. The servers are engaging, polite and so helpful . Just a lovely place.

We're from Oak Valley ashamed to say I hadn't thought of going there to try them so we went there for the first time last night. Being Italian the first thing you look for is the sauce, or gravy as we call it! Well it was definitely awesome! We found our new spot. Live music was great very talented fella! Anthony & Carol God Bless

Amazing food and atmosphere. Waitress "Arielle",went out of her way. Met the owner Pat who was just lovely. Piano music playing and singing could be heard thru out the night. I will absolutely be back and refer many of my friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful experience .

GREAT FOOD , GREAT ATMOSPHERE, GREAT PEOPLE WE MET THE OWNER PAT AND SHE IS LIKE FAMILY.OUR WAITRESS JOHNNY WAS GREAT ,THE MUSIC WAS GREAT, IT WAS LIKE A VERY NICE EXPERIENCE WE WILL BE BACK ! THANKS SO MUCH

This place has awesome food and went out of their way to make my son's graduation dinner memorable.

LOVE GIA NINAS!!! BEST FOOD AROUND!!!

Every time we go to Gia Nina's, we are always amazed that whatever we order the food is always excellent!!!!! The service is also excellent and all the servers do there job well. Pat is a gracious hostess and it always is great to speak with her, she always makes it a habit to visit with you at your table. Her granddaughters also make you feel great from the time you step into the restaurant till you leave. It is always a great pleasure to dine here. Kudo's to all!!!!!!!

Always a great time. Excellent specials, spotless, and decorated like every day is Christmas Day. I go sometimes three nights a week. Pat, her son and granddaughters make you feel like you are their personal dinner guest.

Love your restaurant. Food is great!! Service is great!! People are lovely!

Best waiters! Love your granddaughter! Wish you delivered as my husband has MS, so I don't like leaving him alone. He was recently at Atrium and friends and family had dinner with me here after visiting him. Sincerely, Debbie Chicken parmesan is so delicious along with fresh rolls.

My experience here was absolutely phenomenal. The food was amazing . Good friends of mine took us here . I live about 45 minutes away in Pa . It is definitely worth the ride. Not only for the food but to have another great conservation with Pat the owner. She made me feel like a part of her family . Great place !!!!! I will definitely be back .

Fabulous!!!!!!! The atmosphere, food and servers are beyond amazing. I have severe Celiac Disease (allergy to gluten) and they are always so accommodating. I would highly, highly recommend

By far the best Italian restaurant around, forget south Philly. Go to Gia Nina in Woodbury

Gia Nina has been our go-to place for years, even before the expansion. Everything is fresh and delicious, always. A large part of the Gia Nina experience is having Pat treat us as family. That's always the tie-breaker when deciding where to dine. We actually look forward to chatting and catching up with her.

First time at the restaurant. I was with some friends for lunch and I enjoyed my experience thoroughly! I thought the restaurant had a nice decor, our waitress was the grand daughter of the owner of the restaurant, she was so nice! The rolls were home made and delicious! My Lobster Bisque, my first time ever having it was to die for! The ambiance was welcoming and friendly!

Hidden Gem

The food is delicious and the service is fantastic. You feel like part of the family!

My husband convinced me to order take-out from Gia Nina's instead of our usual Pat's Pizzeria. I had a craving for a cheese steak sandwich, and my husband said I would not be disappointed. My daughter and I had never had food from Gia Nina's but my husband orders take-out at lunch time from work occasionally. Needless to say, I will never order a cheese steak sandwich from Pat's again. Normally, I can eat an entire sandwich, but I could only finish half of a Gia Nina's sandwich! The fries were excellent as well. I hope to eventually visit the restaurant for lunch or dinner.

Still our favorite place to go no matter where else we try. Food is fresh and delicious. Only negative is its always chilly so bring that sweater with you!

My two daughters and myself visited Gia Nina's tonight. I want a chicken marsala as an entree. It was not a problem. However, the chicken on the plate was three small tiny pieces of triangular shaped chicken! The rest on the plate was all pasta. I ate it because I was really hungry. I asked to speak with the manager because when my bill came it was $19.95. The manager was not very kind at all. Treated me very unkindly and said all the chicken entrees are that price. They were not all that price the chicken parm was only $17.00!! 41 trays, and one piece of steak with french fries and one beverage it was $55! And, an experience of unsatisfactory speaking to a manager regarding a very legitimate complaint. I always get chicken marsala everywhere I go to eat and the portion is always much bigger and much less money. So comma our waitress Marlane could not have been sweeter and she kept apologizing for something that had nothing to do with her. Something I think the manager should take lessons from. Kindness, and courtesy should be the TOP qualities of a manager in that business. SO, it's a shame what could have been a really nice beautiful evening was ruined buy a manager being very arrogant. That reason I would not recommend it and NOT go back again and I am a family of six who would have loved to come back to that restaurant.

The food here is amazing! The atmosphere is comfortable and cozy, but still beautiful. I recommend this restaurant!

Very nice atmosphere and excellent dinners. Always had a nice time with friends and family. Would suggest this restaurant to everyone.

Great Food, Wonderful atmosphere and Honest employees. Saturday night my husband and I came in for dinner. My cell phone was on the table and I put my napkin on top of my cell phone and forgot it. The phone was there for 2 days, they're closed on Sunday and Monday they were closed for the Easter Holiday. When I stopped in today my phone was there. Love Gia Ninas!!!
