Recommended by a friend who loved it, so maybe we were there on an off night. Service was slow (even by Mexico standards), caprese was way over salted, and calamari was pretty tough with little taste. Pasta was good, but portions are a little on the smaller side, spiffy you're hungry, find an app you like to go with it.... More

Our hotel offered a special here: "best rest. in Playa, and we will give you 10% off and you can charge it to your room" Sounded good to us having had so much Mexican food, we thought Italian sounded great.

GG is in a great location on fifth. Dining on the patio on a cool evening was so relaxing. We ordered the salmon carpaccio and that was good. All the Italian dishes were good. My husband had black ravioli special with some kind of squash and lobster. It was OK, not great. The seafood was just Ok. Service was also... More

I was impressed with some of the reviews on TA. I guess I'm a critical reviewer.......Pros: the Italian options were great..(4star)...pizza appetizer, pasta dishes, salads Cons: fish dishes were so so...nothing to rave about...(3star)....malbec wine was overpriced...... service ok but not personable as had been described.

So tried of Mexican food after 6 days, this was an excellent and delicious change. The carbonara, bolognese, and gnochii pasta were better than anything we've tasted in South Philly's Italian Market ! The filet, and margarita pizza disappeared within minutes. Small but nice wine selection. Chocolate mousse was outrageous. Wait staff, Aurturo and Alfonso, were extremely attentive and polite.

We read the TripAdvisor reviews and opted for GG. We are very familiar with Italian food in general and agree that the GG is a great location and has a great setting.

We reviewed the menu and talked with the manager one evening after we'd dined elsewhere, and came back a few nights later based on that positive brief meeting. We were seated in a quiet outdoor table, shielded from passersby by tall trees and greenery, a nice treat on busy Fifth Avenue. The menu is Italian, and the offerings are all... More

I have ben there about five times in so many years and I must say that this place consistently charms me by its service quality and excellent food.

GG's was highly recommended to us for a nice bday spot. We were greeted by the owner upon arrival and were seated at an outside table-which I would recommend as its a little warm inside due to the open kitchen-and from that point forward we knew we chose the right venue. The food-awesome....the booze-top shelf....service-excellent....birthday experience-"priceless"! highly recommend.
