10Best Says

Set in an Italian-village-like ambiance in charming Gulfport, Pia's lends new meaning to Old World charm meets la dolce vita. Freshly made salads, delicious paninis, and a wide array of robust pasta selections draped in savory sauces, combine with tasty chicken, veal and mussel choices to deliver a satisfying dining experience. There is limited indoor seating, which is okay because most of the action takes place on the cozy brick patio. Daily specials are featured along with necessary staples such a variety of fresh antipasti and insalatas and Pia's Pesto Verde, her secret Neapolitan green pesto pasta. No matter what you order, you can't go wrong.
