Die besten authentischen Restaurants in Gloucester

Food centered mainly on the southern state of Kerala is featured in this restaurant. The chef/owner is well known for a reason - his interpretations of these regaional dishes are excellent. All menu dishes are delicious - I can't recommend one over the other. Given the difference in access to quality ingredients in Canada, I can confidently say that you could not find a better meal even if you travelled to India.

Top notch, both for its funky vibe, funky wines, delicious meals and impeccable service. Highly recommended!

Le service est excellemment la nourriture très très bonne c’est propre. L’est joli!!!pas grand chose à jouter .On a passé une très très belle soirée

Our first visit to Cantina Gia was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were embraced by an ambiance of comfort and calm. The warm decor and soft lighting set the stage for a relaxing evening. What truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service. The staff struck a perfect balance—attentive yet unobtrusive. Their quiet professionalism made everything feel seamless and welcoming. We began with the Gigi Mocktail, a beautifully presented, refreshingly balanced non-alcoholic drink. As we sipped, we admired the vibrant cocktails served to others—visually stunning and clearly crafted with care. The restaurant's atmosphere is a blend of intimacy and liveliness. Early in the evening, it's serene, but by the end, the volume of fellow diners picked up. For a quieter experience, consider booking earlier. Cantina Gia is more than a restaurant; it's a sanctuary. Whether you're catching up with a friend or enjoying a quiet solo meal, the space adapts effortlessly to your needs. It feels like a place where you truly belong. The food elevated the evening even further. We shared Arancini—crispy on the outside with a creamy center, showcasing skill and attention to detail. For mains, I had the Mushroom Mafaldine, a generous plate of perfectly al dente pasta in a vibrant arugula pesto. My friend’s Ricotta and Lemon Agnolotti struck a beautiful balance of richness and brightness, each bite a delight. As mentioned, the service deserves a special mention—graceful, warm, and thoughtful. The staff made us feel like honored guests in their home. Leaving Cantina Gia, we carried with us a sense of gratitude and joy. It's a rare gem, blending elegance, comfort, and culinary excellence. Whether you're a foodie or simply in search of a memorable evening, Cantina Gia is a place worth returning to again and again.

We had such a great time celebrating our anniversary here, our server Laura recommended us amazing cocktails (pisco sour especial and máncora), a great tapa to start (causa de cangrejo) and tasty main dishes (ceviche and lomo saltado), and we loved every recommendation!
