Gigi’s Italian Restaurant

Above expectations. The marinara sauce was very tasty. Had the Stromboli and it was great. Gotta remember its a local Italian restaurant so don’t expect fancy. Not down playing the food or service because the only complaint is I like fresh mushrooms and the garlic. They serve can which she told me before I ordered. I saw the table next to mine get spaghetti and meatballs and it looked good. I will be back to try.

My favorite!!! I absolutely love their garlic knots and lasagne florentine & chicken piccata. Always friendly staff. Small quaint place, usually pretty fast.

Great Food, Great People and Great Atmosphere. Feel like part of family when walk in the door and greated with such positive people. Large variety of Italian food and very reasonable prices. Quiet atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Really, really good food and super-​nice folks. Quaint little restaurant where everyone seems to know everyone but all feel welcome. Calzone and stromboli are epic. Great pizza too.
Garlic knots are a food group!

Nice and clean. Staff super friendly! Their house salad is HUGE! Feeds 4 without a doubt! Stromboli was delish. My husband and I shared the small and we couldn’t finish everything. Would swing by again of ever in the area.

This place is awesome! The staff is awesome and so so so sweet!!! The food is sooo good!‘nn

This place is amazing. My wife suggest that we have dinner here and we have driven past it hundreds of times with out paying any attention to Gigi’s. We pulled the trigger tonight and it was perfect. The garlic knots were fresh and hot. Dinner was delicious. The service was fast and friendly. Our server Brenda was the best! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and so lovely. We will be back soon.

Wow, never disappointed when I come to Gi Gi’s Italian Restaurant. This place is the real deal — awesome food, great service, friendly staff, you go home feeling stuffed and happy. Can’t believe food like this exists in such a small town like Sorrento! Worth a drive out here if you’re looking for good, authentic Italian food. Love them!

My family and I have been eating at GiGi’s for a while now, like a couple of years. On the whole it’s alright for neighborhood «Italian», alright, NOT great, not even very good.
I ordered a large Deluxe pizza tonight and specifically asked that the crust be completely done and NOT chewy. What do you think I got? Correct. Semi-​raw, chewy, very white (not toasty brown) crust. I’ll concede some points due to the fact that it was Saturday night and they may have been pushed for time but that is still no excuse. Tony’s pizza, not far away, and actually closer to my home NEVER serves a «raw» pizza crust but I like to spread the business around and GiGi’s is kind of out-​of-​the-​way so I try to do business with them now and then. But I won’t continue to buy sub-​par product with my first quality money.
Send someone from your quality team to Papa Joe’s Pizza in Lake Mary and order any pizza you wish and when it comes pay close attention to what it is, THATS a top quality pizza.
GiGi’s please pay closer attention to what is being served in your dinning room or going out the door as take out.

Leaves a lot to be desired. It’s okay if you’ve never had good italian or don’t know how to cook. Most of the stuff tastes like its poured straight from a can.

We think we keep this place in business… eat here several times a week… it’s that good! Try the meatballs, garlic knots, eggplant parm subs!, so good! Great staff too… always friendly.

The food is very good but the service? Well I have come here several times always been served by the same very friendly and nice yet forgetful super slow waitress. Not to sound like I’m being mean I’ll give an example: 3 of us at table. My wife orders a salad as appetizer and I order the mozzarella sticks. Her salad came out first but she was never provided utensils. it would have been impractical /​messy to attempt to eat it with her hands so I kept trying to get the waitresses attention, To no avail. She then reappeared with my appetizer and our dinners simultaneously. Choices were refuse appetizer in favor of entrée or have entrée become cold as it sits there til appetizer is consumed. Then we were hoping for refills on our drinks and another 30 min later after requesting them they appear. And finally when we ask for the check add on another 30 min to that!
Food is GREAT but this service are all I have gotten on 3 separate visits! Sadly it’s the one thing keeping me and my wife from going there more often!

Awesome Italian food! Best garlic knots I’ve ever had and very inexpensive. I wish it wasn’t so far out of my way, but maybe for my waistline its better that way.

Every time I am in Mt. Dora I make the drive over to Gi Gi’s. The reason… the best traditional pizza on the East Coast.
Don’t bother with toppings. Keep the subs on the menu. Order yourself a plain cheese pizza and you will drift off toward gastronomic delirium.
The crust is outstanding, the sauce and cheese in perfect proportion, the pie should have an Opus number and symphonic designation.

Several family members have been eating here and I recently had an opportunity to visit with a rather large group (12) … … since it’s a small, family style room it makes it tough to accomodate a pack this large but, with our late in the day arrival, they were able to squeeze us in.
Even as late as we were they still had a pretty good crowd and now I know why… portions would make Paul Bunyon shy away! Their large calzone is enough for three people and their combo plates will easily fill two. Salads were pretty nondescript but tasty and everything else has a very «homemade» feel. Food came out piping hot and everyone had their entrée within a minute of each other down the length of the table.
Service was top notch even though there was only one waitress who, despite the crowd, had a most pleasant attitude which enhanced our experience.
Yes, it’s a bit off the beaten track but it’s worth the drive for the price, quality and atmosphere.

Stopped in for pizza two times. First time pizza was cold. Second time the forgot a topping. Another time ordered chicken Marsala to go, dismal presentation. Taste was a 2. Place is odd when you walk in by way of setup. Great location off 46 so it is a shame.

The Greek salad and the meatball sub I had was the best ever. Excellent presentation and nice temperature from the over and fresh. The staff is wonderful… fun place to visit. You are made to feel like family.
