I'm not a big fan of Italian food as a whole, especially pasta, so I went in pretty much thinking this would not be one of my favorite IDS lunch spots.
It did not disappoint.
All the IDSers ordered the lunch buffet, and at $5.99(ish) it was a fair deal. There were a few selections - chicken, pasta, fish, bread, soup, pizza - and although admittedly I am not an Italian connoisseur, I do know that pizza on a buffet should probably be at least halfway warm. I only like my pizza cold if it's accompanied by an Old Style & a hangover.
For some reason this restaurant as a whole gave off a "sterile" vibe to me.
Most of the rest of the crew seemed to enjoy this place though, so if'n you like Italian food it'll probably be an decent experience.
ADDED BONUS: The waitress gave me an extra Andes Mint. Yeah...she wanted me.

The best/last/only Italian buffet that I can remember was at my wedding...and to be honest, I'm not 100% sure if the food was all that good.
Gia's was an average experience at best...nothing really stood out.
Now, I hear that dinner (not the lunch buffet) is their bread and butter...and I can accept that and might return for it. I guess after Phainam and Los Portales, I was looking for something to knock my socks off like they both did.
SOME ADVICE: No need to worry about losing your socks unless the pizza is served piping hot.
