Gigi Cucina - Genève

So disappointing. We went here last year and loved it so booked again for my birthday. The wine was good but the most of the food was awful, and the rest mediocre except for the pizza which my husband liked. My son and I had bruschetta to start which was tasteless and just seemed to be tomatoes chopped up on toasted bread with a whole ball of mozzarella cut in 4 and stuck on top. The calamari starter was tough and my risotto was bland and oily and didn’t really have the texture of risotto at all. We were the only people in the restaurant and although it looks really nice we were cold. The person who served us was very nice and efficient and I felt sorry for her as we clearly weren’t enjoying the experience. She did reduce all our mains by 50%, which was a nice gesture

Really disappointed. Lovely decor and staff but food was poor, especially for the price. My dish was lukewarm so had to send back, it lacked flavour and the meat was chewy and dry.

Lovely service, one of the best meals we have ever had. Amazing atmosphere

Having read some of the reviews, we ate at Gigi’s today at lunchtime and contrary to some comments about bad service, we found the waiters to be efficient, charming and polite. Had the plat du jour which was incredible fresh pasta, pumpkin, truffle, and hazelnuts and a pizza Gigi (they do amazing pizzas). Definitely a great place to go. Reasonably priced and great decor recommend it highly!

I’ve been to Gigi a couple of times now and it has always succeeded my expectations. In summer you can eat in their big outdoor terrasse which is so lovely especially for brunch! Inside of the restaurant is so gorgeous as well and feels so cozy. My favorite dish is their pizza Margherita, the simplest things are sometimes the most flavorful. I highly recommend trying it! You notice how all ingredients are homemade and fresh and it has become my best pizza experience. The pizzaiolo is Italian and the dough is made from scratch which you can feel the difference! They also have a great wine selection which makes the experience even better. I would recommend Gigi to anyone who is looking for a great, authentic Italian experience in Geneva! If you hesitate about going, just do it because the overall experience is wonderful!
