I might be a little biased on Indaco since we had our rehersal dinner there, but when I say you can't go wrong with anything from Indaco….. you literally can't go wrong. Their pizza is one of our favorite in town!

Great Italian food, but the best pork chop in GVL. They have a great selection of Italian wines. We like to get seats at the bar which is indoor or outdoor or sit on the balcony.

The best BBQ in GVL! They always offer a brisket sample when ordering that makes you second guess your order or makes you order that too!
