Question 1

Do I need to book a table at GIÀ Restaurant?

Accepted Answer

Booking is strongly recommended, especially weekends and high season (June–September). We have 70 seats in the dining room, a 10-seat private table and a summer terrace. Book on WhatsApp at +34 604 40 33 84 or call the same number. The dining room regularly fills on Friday and Saturday dinner service.

Question 2

Is GIÀ a traditional or contemporary Mediterranean restaurant?

Contemporary Mediterranean, not nostalgic. Chef Giancarlo Milano ran his own restaurant on the Costa Blanca for 25 years before opening GIÀ in August 2024. The menu combines classical technique with current presentation: Acquerello risotto aged one year, hand-rolled fresh pasta, carbonara without cream.

Do you have vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free options?

Yes. We have vegetarian options on the menu and prepare vegan or gluten-free versions on request — let Anne know when you sit down. Burrata D.O.P., risotti, fresh pasta (gluten-free on request) and Mediterranean starters cover the most common diets.
