ABOUT GINA'S ON CONGRESS

Paris meets Rome at Gina's on Congress with fresh takes on classic bistro cuisine including pasta, tartare, carpaccio, mussels and frites, and signature cuts of meat like a veal chop. Dishes will be relatable with an emphasis on quality, simplicity, elevated depth of flavors, and presentation. Boutique estate wines, classic cocktails, and espresso drinks will keep the bar bustling.

Built in the late 1800's, 314 Congress has been reinvented over the past century-plus as a jail, brothel, office, saloon, and restaurant (most recently La Traviata). The space has unique charm with original brick walls and a large wooden bar with decades of history. Situated in the heart of downtown, Gina s is mere blocks from numerous hotels, offices, theaters, and venues making it a great stop for lunch, after-work happy hour, pre/post show drinks and dinner.

Gina is short for Regina in Italian and translates as Queen. Famed Italian actress, photographer, and international icon Gina Lollobrigida popularized the nickname after rocketing to fame as a queen of the Italian big screen in the 1950's and 60's. At one point dubbed The Most Beautiful Woman in the World, Lollobrigida became an inspiration to the rich and famous. Gina s on Congress will be a place w downtown locals can go to feel like royalty and visitors can be inspired.

This is the fourth concept from Lockley's Flavor Hospitality Group. His other established businesses consist of Rosedale neighborhood favorite Gusto Italian Kitchen + Wine Bar, recently opened Gracia Mediterranean, and full-service cateringpany Flavor Co. Catering + Events.

Gina s Executive Chef Jason Tallent has worked with several James Beard award-wining chefs in San Francisco and won numerous awards during his time at Globe, including Best Late-Night Dining from The San Francisco Chronicle. In Austin he has helmed the kitchen at Cipollina in the Clarksville neighborhood, and most recently opened Gracia Mediterranean with Lockley / Flavor Hospitality Group. Additionally, longtime service industry veteran Ethan Murphy will be moving from Gusto Italian Kitchen + Wine Bar to be front-of-house manager at Gina's.
