I stopped by here a couple of Saturdays ago with my wife and her parents for lunch. Whenever we walked in we were immediately greeted by the hostess and taken to our seats. That meant that we walked through what I think was a childrens cooking class where it looked like they were making pizzas. How cool is that? I think it is awesome that Gia Visto puts on kids cooking classes once a month for those inspiring kid cooks. After making it through the class and into the main dining room we were seated at a 4 top. The inside of their restaurant is cozy and has pictures from a lot of famous places.
After perusing their lunch menu I decided to order the risotto with chicken, parmesan and spinach. It was delivered about 20 minutes later after some other members of my party had finished their soups. Whenever I tried the risotto I thought that it tasted ok. The rice in it was cooked nicely so it was neither hard nor overly mushy. There was an ample amount of spinach and the chicken tasted ok too. Where it missed the mark was that I found it to be pretty bland and singular tasting with no depth of flavor. So while there wasn't anything wrong with my meal I also didn't find anything exciting about it either. The rest of my table ended up ordering shrimp caprese salad and it looked pretty good and they were all happy with it.
The bottom line for me is that I would give Gia Visto another chance in the future. While this visit wasn't what I would consider a good meal for me, it is possible that I chose poorly and could have had a better experience with a better entree choice.
