    Having never been to Gigi's we didn't know what to expect but once through the door, you get a sense of warmth and welcoming from the owners. The lunch menu is small but bursts with fabulous dishes. With a few words of wisdom from the owner of which was best to try, we placed our order and were delighted with our choices and also the gorgeous wine to go with it. I have already recommended this fabulous little authentic Italian to friends and colleagues. We will definitely be back to try more dishes!
