The service was decent, the decor and setting a little less than great (a whiteboard with specials hand scribbled on it does not seem fitting for an otherwise nice, sit down, Italian restaurant, and to be honest the place seemed a little ran down), but the chicken ala Kyle was fantastic. This particular dish is a chicken breast served over... More

The food here was good. The atmosphere was very small town-quaint. I really enjoyed the marinara sauce. Others have stated that it was bland. We had squash ravioli and Eggplant Parmesan. I heard another diner bragging about how they had superb mussels...he said some of the best he'd ever had. More

A small venue, but the location is in the heart of the village of Old Arroyo Grande. Recently expanded for outdoor seating. Many other good restaurants close by. Gina's has a good menu, and usually some great specials. Never a bad meal, and such a nice, cozy, even romantic atmosphere. The before meal bread/dip is terrific. More

Everyone at our table had something different and it was all yummy. The bread and tomato topping is amazing!!! It is hard to control your bread consumption and save room for the meal. We purchased a bottle of wine from Phantom Rivers Winery across the street and were charged a corkage fee. They should be a little more village friendly... More

I have no major complaints with the food or service. All was good but not excellent. Chicken was tender but sauces, while flavorful, were watery. Green beans were undercooked. Salad was just greens and some grated carrots with prepackaged croutons. (Homemade croutons, some parmesan, and some of the other fresh local veggies would have stepped these up a lot) Mashed...

I read the so-so reviews on here, but decided to try Gina's anyway since it is close to my new pad. I walk around this neighborhood a fair amount and noticed that this restaurant is always busy. Although it was very crowded/packed, we got the last table near the door and the meal was delicious. Went back a week later... More

Gina's is the perfect place to go if you are looking for a romantic dinner or even just time with the family. The food is always fresh and the homemade raviolis are to die for. I went with my husband a few nights ago and had their halibut special that was so amazing. The fish was cooked perfectly, and my... More

We live about 40 miles from Arroyo Grande, and it was worth the trip in the past to take visitors to dinner at this, once charming and tasy, restaurant. We had lunch there today (Oct. 2010) and the waitress was surly, the pizza oven wasn't on, and the food was very, very mediocre. My turkey sandwich was something very processed... More

We have been dining at Gina's for many years and I am sad to say it has changed for the worse! The waitstaff is RUDE! The food is still very good, but we will no longer dine there ! Sad....it used to be one of our favorites! More
