“ I've been to Gina's now two times. Has someone who is originally from New York and had some of the best pizza and best pasta around never mind being Italian and also having the best home cooking I will have to admit that Gina's is the closest to home cooking if not better and definitely by far better than most of the Italian restaurants in town. The atmosphere is wonderful The restaurant is very clean The staff is extremely friendly and the prices are pretty on par for the quality. ”
“ Love this place! The food is always good. Love the bread they serve with the meals. Great quality! And good service. Even the take out girl is pleasant and always double checks the order before handing it over. ”
“ Our new favorite Italian place!! Fresh seafood (never frozen), handmade meatballs and homemade red sauce were just a few of the unique options found here. So much more to try, highly recommend! We'll be back soon to experience Happy hour from 4-6 and try out a couple more dishes! ”
“ I’ve been here twice. Both times the food has been AMAZING! I had a pizza the first visit. 2nd visit was on Valentine’s Day. Crab stuffed Lobster with shrimp Alfredo was just divine. Quality is 10/10. You get what you pay for. You can definitely tell nothing is frozen here and everything is made fresh with quality ingredients. I never leave reviews, but needed to share because this place has the best Italian food in town hands down. ”
“ Everything was excellent! No wait for a table. Quick attentive service. Great tasting food. Everything we wanted. ”
“ Our first time at Gina's and we must say from the outside it looks very inviting so we figured let's give it a try. As we approached the restaurant we were greeted by an employee that was cleaning table in front of the restaurant. As we walked we sat at the bar which were greated by a great bartender (Diane). She told us about the menu and all dishes that she likes. We ordered two Sangrias and they were really good. As we waited for our good we were listening to Billy Joel and I felt really comfortable to point that said I really like this place. Then our food and all I can say is "WOW"...... we can't wait to come back. Thank you to all who helped us. ”
“ Great dine-in spot with a nice Italian homey feel. I love me some spaghetti, so I had to. Not many places have homemade meatballs anymore, so that's where I can say....Great meatballs! Huge meatballs! Portion was great. Pizza is great. Good dough. Served quickly. ”
“ Adorable little place. We ordered a specialty pizza that had prosciutto, peppers and artichokes. The crust was amazing neither my spouse or myself favored the combination on the pizza, that is just our own taste opinion. It was very hot and fresh. The crust was amazing! Next time we will order plain cheese and know it with be great! Dining area was very nicely decorated. Martini was good. Service was good. Calimari was ok, not very hot a little too greasy. The sauce served with the Calimari was great. One thing I was surprised about is serving water in chipped plastic cups. Microplastics are a real thing. I would immediately get rid of thoes plastic cups. We will still definitely be back. ”
