GAIA

Gaia is that fancy spot you keep hearing about, and trust me, it lives up to the hype. The Mediterranean menu is like a love letter to your taste buds, especially the chicken and that tuna carpaccio with truffle—who knew they could work so well together? Giulia Papa, the restaurant manager, deserves a medal for her service and charm. You're practically family here, and they’ll make sure you leave feeling like royalty.

But don’t get too comfy; every fairy tale has its dragons. Service can be a bit wonky at times, leaving some diners feeling like they’re on a quest for attention. Still, if you’re looking for a classy dinner that’s got your back, Gaia delivers that Mediterranean magic with a side of elegance. Just keep an eye on your waitress if she starts pushing appetizers like they’re going out of style.
