The calamari and the short rib gnocchi are the two dishes that come up most in conversation about this place, though it's fair to say the reports on execution are mixed -- like a lot of mall-adjacent chain-feeling restaurants, consistency depends somewhat on the night. Worth going in with reasonable expectations rather than fine-dining ones.
What actually makes it worth a special trip is the deal calendar: a weekday happy hour (Monday-Friday, 3:30-5:30pm) on drinks and small plates, and half-price pizzas every Monday, chainwide -- not just a Lombard thing, every Gia Mia location runs the Monday pizza deal.
