The restaurant is expected to open in Spring 2026

Il Vero is expected to open sometime this spring (2026). Gia says a lot of thought has gone into the vibe of the restaurant and every detail of Il Vero is "intentional." She also gushed that the transformation of the space is "stunning" and the food is "next level."

No word about how hands-on Gia or her mom, Teresa, will be with this new venture, but it would be cool to see them while dining there. Who knows, maybe their Real Housewives friends will support them and dine there as well. Let's hope there's no table flipping. Ha ha.

Il Vero is located at 170 Center Avenue in Westwood (near Westwood Theatres).
