We had a big party and they were super accomodating which was already a plus for the restaurant. When we got there, they provide complimentary bread and tomato sauce which was delish. We also got some drunks and I opted for the tequila/aperol cocktail which was stunning. The waiter did say it was their most popular and for good reason! We also got some appetizers to start include the fried seafood which was yummy and the cheesy bread which was STUNNING! Imo, skip the pizza and get the cheesy bread. Cannot explain how good it is. Almost ruined my dinner. For my entree, I opted for the eggplant parm after many recs and I do fear its worth. You can add a side of pasta for $7 which is lowkey is a scam... but those were some delicious buttered noodles. This meal was stunning. No notes.

We have spent a significant amount of money here and considered it one of our special places to catch up and spend quality time together. During our Sunday recent visit, we started at the bar with appetizers and drinks. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we decided to stay for dinner and asked for a table. Although we were initially given one, the hostess. She was apparently new. She had a conversation with a server and then returned to tell us that we had to remain at the bar because we started there, and cannot transfer to a table. It was clear that the decision appeared to be based on protecting a server's section and earning potential rather than providing guest service. When I asked for a manager, the situation was not handled appropriately, and it was obvious that servers are in control of this restaurant, not management. Unbeknownst to me after all these years. A restaurant should prioritize its guests--not allow server preferences to dictate the guest experience. After years of loyalty and substantial spending, this experience was unacceptable. We will not be returning, and it is unfortunate that such a long-standing family tradition ended this way.

I've been meaning to check out this restaurant and finally had a chance to get dinner there today…read more There are a lot of people because of the World Cup, but I was able to get sat at the bar without a wait. The bartenders were very welcoming and answered all of my questions. To my surprise, they had a happy hour that went until 6pm even on a Saturday and I was able to order oysters for two dollars each and get a glass of wine for $12 so of course I ordered a dozen oysters For my entrée, I ordered the trout with black rice and succotash. The skin was crispy. It was a decent sized fillet and the sauce was a good pairing. Overall, lovely experience. I'm giving it four stars instead of five stars because there are multiple shells in a couple of the oysters.

Service was good- don't remember her name but she was sweet and knowledgeable about the menu.

Pasta is made fresh. It was really tasty. I didn't have any of the sea bass but my date said it was superb. Street parking is near and valet parking is there as well. However, they were not there tonight. Wasn't too hard to find parking. Overall, it was and def will be back!

I put in the notes of my reservation that it was my birthday and everyone stopped by my table and greeted me with a warm happy birthday. That was a really nice touch. My waitress offered me a free glass of champagne for my birthday and I definitely wasn't gonna turn that down. I got the veal meatballs as my appetizer. I love that they were weren't heavy and dense. They were very light and delicious. I also chose the chopped salad, but I wanted it to come out with my entrée. The chopped salad was good. Had pepper notes to it. The only thing I would do next time is ask for it not to be green peas in it. Just because I'm not a fan. For my entrée I got the cannelloni. The lamb shoulder inside was so tender. It was very cheesy and delicious. It also had green peas in it, which I didn't pay attention to on the menu. I would also ask for there not to be green peas in the kennel only again that's just my taste. But that did not stop me from eating it all. I also had the blood orange margarita which was really good. This was my first time at this restaurant, but it definitely will not be the last. I loved the vibe of the restaurant.

At bartenders recommendation since I was there for the first time I chose the four-course tasting menu. From the first taste of the tuna to the last tasting of the dessert and the pasta and pork chop in between it was incredible. I learned the crispy white lasagna is a treat that isn't always on the menu and when you see it you absolutely must get it. A guest next to me insisted I try it and put a piece on my plate and it lives up to the hype. So much so I may return tonight to try it before it vanishes. This restaurant will undoubtedly be in rotation.

I originally found Gigi's while celebrating my brother and I's birthday, and it ended up becoming a tradition for us to come back every year. Even after he moved away, I've kept coming back for my own birthday because this place just feels special. This visit I ordered the polenta with caviar, beef carpaccio with boquerones, roasted brassicas, spicy rigatoni, chicken milanese, and tiramisu. What I love most about Gigi's is that the menu is smaller, but everything feels intentional and well executed. Nothing feels like filler. Every dish tastes fresh and thoughtfully put together. My absolute favorite thing on the menu is the beef carpaccio. I could order that every single visit and still not get tired of it. The service here has always been impeccable and I really appreciate that they're welcoming to solo diners and keep bar seating available. One thing to know is if you sit near the open kitchen, it can get a little warm, but honestly it's worth it. Overall, this is one of those restaurants that reminds me why I love food so much. Definitely make a reservation because they stay busy.

She said we don't pick up the phones during service hours just email us, frankly, if I have to email a restaurant I don't want to dine there. And also there email was nowhere to be found on the website. Thankfully, we called back the next day (hopefully during a less busy time? 5:30, they changed it for us in two second so not sure why the other lady had such an attitude about it. Almost really ruined my experience and I was going to dine elsewhere. Started off with focaccia and beef carpaccio. The beef carpaccio was good! Although very very thin serving. We got two pasta dishes and th trout. The pasta dish with shrimp only came with five small pastas, I thought this was kind of pricey and crazy! $32 for five pieces of pasta?! The pork pasta dish was also very very salty. Though a bigger portion for $34, it was okay at best. The trout was definitely the better entree in my opinion. We also got a slice of tiramisu, and this was my favorite item all night. It was sweet and light! They also don't give any free appetizers for your birthday just fyi! The server was friendly, and came to check on us frequently. Overall, the food was okay, and the phone service was off putting. I think it's a quaint and cozy restaurant to experience once, but would def get a better bang for your buck elsewhere.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated with indoor and outdoor seating as well as a bar. Although we had to wait an hour for our 7:15p reservation, the hosts were incredibly kind and gave us complementary drinks for the inconvenience. After standing in a busy walkway for an extended amount of time, we were finally seated. Our table was in a good location in the restaurant but we did have to deal with a bit of wobbling that was fixed by the server and a few gnats and flies. Our server was very nice and very informative as we ordered but seemed to get distracted at times due to how busy the restaurant was. The food and drinks were fine but not necessarily worth the hassle and wait. It wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped but the ingredients seemed to be fresh. It was a nice touch to have fresh Parmesan cheese grated table side with our meals. All in all, I don't think I would go out of my way to visit this restaurant again but it's worth giving a try if you are craving Italian and happen to be in the area.
