Gigi's — Restaurant in England

Back in the day, Gigi’s had a bit of charm. But now it’s so outdated and the menu so uninspiring, I wouldn’t bother. When Papa Johns opened, I thought the extra competition would make Gigi’s up their game, but nope! There are no Vegan pizza options, but you can bring your own Vegan cheese in and they will use it (whilst looking at it very suspiciously like the waiter did with us) For some reason, the Timballo Vegetarian pizza comes with Carrots and White Onions on top! No idea why- unless it’s a speciality from their region in Italy, who knows? Nothing is explained. The pizza it’s self was mediocre. Nowhere near as good as your average Wood Fired Pizza van- which really is telling, seeing as they have been in business for decades and are being overshadowed by pop ups only opened recently. We ordered a bowl of Olives to start. Wow, they were AWFUL. This is none of your big, juicy, green Nocellara olives. Oh no! This is your small, soggy, sad looking black olives drowning in the brine from the tin. I’ve never seen such depressing olives! You want a non alcoholic drink? You have a choice of Coke, Fanta or Sprite. There’s no San Pellegrino Lemon or anything resembling an Italian soft drink! If cafes in Glastonbury High Street can manage it, why not here? I get the whole nostalgic look of the place, but the menu really needs to be brought up to modern standards, as frankly it really is poor. Maybe with their loyal following they’ve taken it easy, but my observations really are something they could take onboard to provide something better for...

After such a lovely experience in June we decided to return with two friends and everything from food to service was the polar opposite of our earlier visit. Our table ordered two capricciosa pizzas which arrived undercooked and with a microscopic amount of artichoke on both. My husband and our other friend ordered lasagne, one lasagne and the two pizzas arrived but only my husband’s side salad and garlic bread came, there had been some misunderstanding with the owner, who took the order, he said he hadn’t heard my husband order lasagne, he became belligerent and argumentative stating that he “never made mistakes “. Ten minutes after the rest of us had finished our meals the second lasagne arrived, it was inedible as a huge amount of salt had been added, deliberately? Obviously we don’t know but it seems suspicious that one lasagne had no excess of salt and the second made your eyes water it was so salty. The second lasagna was taken off the bill, most reluctantly, with the owner angrily restating that he never made mistakes and it was my husband’s fault! The rest of the staff seemed embarrassed by this display by their boss, we certainly were, awful evening, make sure you shout your order if you get the owner!

Best pizza I’ve ever eaten. Hubby absolutely loved his lasagne. Can’t recommend highly enough. Also very reasonable pricing,. The servers were lovely. We will...

I've just had the most appalling dining experience due to one of the waitresses (dark hair) and her horrific attitude.

I joined my friend late and pulled up a chair as her 2 person table didn't have the second chair. The table behind had no one dining at it, which didn't change for the majority of the meal. The waitress seemed to be outraged that I'd joined my friend late (I was putting up our tent). She took back the chair I was using and left me standing at the table, leaving me to search for another. Apparently the chair "belonged to the table behind" - the table with no one sitting at it!

I had mentioned I wanted to order a drink. She refused to let me order when requested - totally ignored me.

How is this waitress employed?! Someone needs to let her know about a thing called 'customer service'.

My friend enjoyed her food hence the stars. Atmosphere was ruined due to this waitress' aggressive attitude. The one star for service should really be no stars.

I finally got a friendly smile from the waiter who eventually took my drinks order.

Probably a nice restaurant overall but given this bizarrely awful experience, won't be returning to risk another encounter with this...
