    We visited Gia for dinner, and we had a great experience. The food was delicious and the service staff were very friendly and informative. We tried the rigatoni alla vodka and shared a pizza and both tasted great. Definitely would recommend.

    Lovely new restaurant in Monot serving delicious Italian dishes 😋! Vibe of the outdoor area is stunning, we visited for dinner and can’t wait to be back for lunch to see it during the day. Waiters were so accommodating and offered recommendations for us. Worth a visit for sure ☺️

    A True Taste of Italian Love at Gia La Cucina d'Amore I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gia La Cucina d'Amore, an Italian gem nestled in the heart of Monot, Beirut. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm ambiance, the aromas wafting from the kitchen, and the friendliness of the staff instantly transported me to a little corner of Italy. The owner, a charming and attentive gentleman, made sure every customer felt like a special guest in his home. His passion for authentic Italian cuisine was contagious, and his extensive knowledge of the dishes and their origins added depth and appreciation to every bite. He personally ensured that the service was impeccable and that the dining experience was second to none. Speaking of the food, Gia La Cucina d'Amore offers a menu that showcases the true essence of Italian cuisine. The homemade pasta dishes were divine, cooked to perfection and paired with a rich and flavorful sauce that left me craving more. The wood-fired pizzas were crisp and bursting with fresh ingredients, while the seafood dishes showcased the Mediterranean's bountiful treasures. I can't forget to mention the heavenly tiramisu, which provided the perfect ending to an already unforgettable meal. The attentive staff played a significant role in making the evening special. They were well-versed in the menu and provided excellent recommendations that catered to my taste and dietary preferences. Their warm smiles and genuine care for each guest elevated the dining experience to a whole new level. I cannot recommend Gia La Cucina d'Amore enough for anyone craving an authentic Italian experience in Beirut. The combination of delicious food, attentive service, and a cozy atmosphere makes it a must-visit. Grazie mille to the entire team for making my evening truly unforgettable. I can't wait to return and continue exploring the many delights Gia La Cucina d'Amore has to offer!

    The owner and Staff were super nice everything was great. We did get ripped off with the water some how (showing that we ordered 5 water bottles for 1 million 500 L L when we ordered 2 bottles but to be fair our glasses we filled when we sat so that might be the case) but it is still worth it to go and try the place. Over all great experience.

    By far the finest Italian cuisine. Such a beautiful ambiance. It reminded me of my Amalfi trip. I loved the promotion of Happy Pizza, very efficient during my business hours to pass by for lunch. Gia became my home, my escape, my office . Simply my place❤️

    GIA continues to be one of our favourite restaurants. We recently visited for a meal with friends and the whole team are absolutely superb. The ambience and setting is very warm, welcoming and friendly, the service just the right balance of attentiveness without being OTT. The food is just the best combination of superb quality ingredients and recipes that are a good blend of traditional Italian cooking with a contemporary twist. Wine selection is also very good and overall result is just superb. It is not often that you eat out and feel nothing could have been better - but GIA achieves that!

    What an amazing authentic Italian restaurant! You simply must try their Salmon pizza and smoked salmon bruschetta – they are exceptional! The ambiance is incredibly relaxing, making it the perfect spot for a romantic date or a friendly get-together. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

    This restaurant is a true Italian gem! There's no word to describe the Italian food; I'm absolutely speechless about the quality and taste. The authenticity shines through in every aspect. The relaxed ambiance makes it an ideal place for a romantic dinner or a gathering with friends. I highly recommend it.

👍👍 You’re slowly biting into a piece of Sambousek covered in Hummus, with some Hindbeh leaves in the mix… You close your eyes to savor the moment as you let the explosion of flavors invade you. A nostalgic Fairuz song is playing in the background, and a soft breeze is caressing your cheeks. Life is goo...

😠 The service is terrible the waiter's aren't professional at all, the glasses weren't even clean, we had to ask for an ashtray for like 3 times in order to get one. And on top of all that the prices on the bill were 40% higher than the actual prices on the menu which was unacceptable, we felt robbed...

👍 Same concept as the famous entrecôte of Paris France. They only have one item on the menu and ask you about cooking of the meat. First they serve you a salad with mustard sauce and fresh baguette with spicy Dijon mustard. Then comes the main dish (entrecôte + fries + famous secret sauce) but with 2...

👍👍 Great tasting Chinese and one of the staples in Beirut! The place is super cozy and the staff are very helpful. We chose to take away our food and eat it home. There was no dish that’s wast good, whatever is your favorite just get it. I would recommend the sweet and sour chicken and the szechuan.
