GIA Drink.Eat.Listen

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where Food, Wine, and Music Meet in Greensboro

GIA Drink.Eat.Listen on New Garden Road in Greensboro, North Carolina, is a restaurant that wears its identity plainly in its name: drinking well, eating well, and listening. The three-part concept signals a space where the wine list carries as much weight as the kitchen, and the atmosphere is shaped as deliberately as the menu.

Italian-European Cuisine with a Serious Wine List

GIA's cooking draws from the Italian and broader European tradition — a culinary foundation that pairs naturally with the restaurant's evident commitment to the cellar. That commitment earned GIA a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2023, a recognition given only to restaurants whose lists demonstrate careful selection, balance across regions and varietals, and genuine harmony with the food being served. For guests in Greensboro, it is a meaningful signal: the wine here has been taken seriously.

A Destination for Lunch and Dinner

Open for both lunch and dinner, GIA offers flexibility rare among restaurants with this level of wine program ambition. Whether you are settling in for an evening with a bottle chosen from an award-recognized list, or stopping in midday for something lighter from the Italian-European repertoire, the experience is designed to feel considered rather than rushed.
