Gigi’s Italian Kitchen & Restaurant

ItÕs now anÊaward-winningÊrestaurantÊserving a menu of traditional red sauce classics made with in-season produce and fresh-made pastas, expect dishes like rigatoni fazool with cowpeas replacing cannellini beans and chicken marsala served with fresh focaccia. Dessert features GigiÕs popular tiramisu. A tight list of cocktails, wine, beer, and amaro round out the beverage list, which includes the Dirty Gigi martini and a rye Old Fashioned punched up with espresso and coffee bitters.ÊReservations limited and encouraged on Friday and Saturday evenings.
