"Real Sicilian Fare, Wonderful Cocktails, Housemade Limoncello. I have been to Gigi 's a number of times since it 's opening. This is a wonderful place to have a relaxing dinner or sit at the bar and enjoy cocktails and appetizers with friends or a date. The food has always been phenomenal-with an emphasis on quality fresh ingredients that are allowed to shine without the over seasoning that so often occurs at many restaurants in our area. I shouldn 't be subjected to the overpowering scent of garlic in the parking lot which happens at many eating establishments in WNY. On our most recent visit I enjoyed the Panelle-described as Sicilian Street Food. This mouthwatering appetizer is what can best be described as a fritter, made with chickpeas and deep fried. Cooked to perfection with a light, thin crust, the inside was hot creamy goodness. Served with a lemon aioli and caprese salad. It was apparent the tomatoes were freshly picked, and this was confirmed by the owner who said they were from her garden. My son and I split a dozen steamed clams, which I have had a number of times. They were plump and fresh, served with drawn butter and lemon wedges. These never disappoint. I enjoyed a Blood Orange Martini before we ate. This was very nice-not too sweet. The waitstaff is always pleasant, accommodating, and attentive. They are knowledgeable about the menu and if they are not sure will happily ask the chef. The owner is dedicated to supporting local businesses and farms, and this is apparent by the quality of the food she serves. The bartender, Gino is friendly and also happy to share so of his favorite dishes as well as sing an aria! He is an amazing and talented baritone. Don 't forget to try the Housemade Limoncello!"
