Gigi's Italian Kitchen & Restaurant — Restaurant in Atlanta

I-LOVE-THIS-PLACE. It everything Atlanta is missing—from the food, to the atmosphere to the community. It’s reminiscent of a Brooklyn eatery. A quaint neighborhood spot with a charming interior. It’s Michelin level food with no frills service. From the jump, you’re treated like a friend of the team. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. Next up, the drinks. I got The Dirty Gigi and it was one of the best martinis I’ve ever had. It was so perfectly balanced. My husband had a sambuca spritz and peroni & house shot. The spritz & shot has wonderfully playful floral palette. It was the perfect summer sip. Now for the food. WOW. We had the Caesar salad, beef carpaccio, Iberian coppa Steak, rigatoni fra diavolo, and tiramisu. All I can say is…holy sh*t. The food is award winning. Every bite was better than the last. This was truly one of the best meals I’ve had in a LONG time, and I can confidently say Gigi’s should own the top 10 list of best...

We had a wonderful dining experience at Gigi’s Italian Kitchen & Restaurant last evening, thanks to the exceptional service and delicious food. Our server, Mr. Jacob, went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable evening. With limited vegetarian options on the menu, he took the initiative to customize two dishes for us—a Vegetarian Mafaldine and a Vegetarian Fusilli. Both were thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor.

The Tiramisu was the star of the meal—easily one of the best we’ve had—and the house red wine paired beautifully with our dinner.

The restaurant’s cozy ambiance, set in a converted old house, adds a lot of charm, even though the limited seating and slightly dim lighting might not suit everyone’s taste. Overall, the excellent service, delectable dessert, and well-prepared food made this a five-star experience. Special thanks to Mr. Jacob for making our evening...

I was really excited to try this restaurant for the first time because it seemed very authentic, but unfortunately, the experience was terrible.

We ordered both of the pastas on the menu and waited over 45 minutes, but the food never arrived. During that entire time, our server never checked on us, and eventually, we had to flag down another server just to ask for the check.

Having worked in the restaurant industry for over six years, I’ve never had to leave a restaurant without receiving the food I ordered. It’s incredibly frustrating to feel ignored like that, and it completely ruined what should have been an enjoyable night out.

The cherry on top was when we asked for the check and we received it without a single apology or explanation as to what was going on or why the food...
