    Our experience was excellent. We had reservations and were seated immediately upon arrival. Our waiter was awesome and the food came out within a good time and hot. Also, the portions were great enough to share. Really good experience. Will revist.

    I had an awesome experience at Giada’s restaurant at The Cromwell. I am celiac and they have so many wonderful gluten free options to choose from. The server was very nice and answered all of my questions. We started with the bacon wrapped dates, which were incredible. I had the signature lemon pasta dish with gluten free pasta. Definitely the best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had. And we ended the meal by sharing the Nutella cheesecake. I don’t even have the words to describe how delicious that was. I can’t recommend Gaida’s restaurant highly enough. Will certainly be going back.

    Wow! Amazing and authentic Italian. Super fresh ingredients. Will go back again and again. The garland bread with Mozzarella on homemade italian bread was perfection with taste and texture, as was the Cesar's salad. The pistachio affagato was divine. The boar ragu with homemade pasta was excellent... i can not say enough about the wonderful staff. Authentic Italian Bakery is located inside. I almost passed out when I saw, and I tasted the Baba Rum, which was near a good if not better than when I had them in Italy. Stopped in for brunch also over the weekend. Textures and tastes are the best! 💗💝💗💝💗💝

    We enjoyed the restaurant very much. The prices are very reasonable. The dining starts from waiter bringing two carafes with wine (red and white). The portions are quite big, so, if you don’t want to overeat. You can share one main dish. Reservation is strongly recommended, especially at weekends.
