Close to, yet away from the hustle and bustle of Ecclesall Road, Gigi's sits on the tranquil Oakbrook Road, just down from Hangingwater traffic lights. Illuminated with tasteful golden Christmas lights it is otherwise be easy to miss as you approach from Rustlings Road. We received the usual warm welcome one expects of an Italian restaurant where the focus is on good home cooking. As well as the broad range of fish, meat and pasta dishes, the specials included Venison, Halibut in Lobster sauce or Crab Risotto. The main dishes include a separate plate of seasonal veg. There is a tempting range of desserts which includes tiramisu and pannacota, and house wines are of a good quality. The bill comes with truffles and limoncello. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff enthusiastic and attentive, which all combines to make this little undiscovered gem one of my favourite restaurants.

As soon as you enter you feel welcomed, both by the beautiful interior and friendly Italian staff. The food is rustic and gorgeous, i particularly enjoy the calamari and salmon pasta. The cocktails are great - Gigi even accommodated my brothers rather awkward request of a White Russian by googling it and whipping it up for him! That’s a mark of great, accommodating service. I love this place and I think it’s a welcome bit of Italy in Sheffield!

We decided to meet our friends for a late lunch one Sunday afternoon. This was our second visit and we weren’t disappointed. The atmosphere, staff and food were all excellent.. We opted for the 3 course deal, at £20 per head including a glass of wine this is a fantastic offer. The squid starters, and chicken main course we’re great, one of our party opted for the pizza which I tasted and I would recommend that too. For great food and a relaxed atmosphere you should definitely try Gigi’s.

Visited twice in recent weeks. Firstly with a large group on a busy night and then with a small group when it was very quiet.
Food was excellent on both occasions but the service differed markedly. Not surprisingly it was worse on the busy night but the basic level of simple errors should not have occurred on any night.
These may seem small things but when they all happen during the same meal - then things need tightening up.- so either more staff or more staff training
eg. Cold plates, wine left on table without being opened, No cruets on tables, repeated requests for water.

Hello to you
I booked the Gigi’s Cucina because my usual didn’t open in the afternoon. Well that’s a big thank you to to them. I was with a very special lady for a very special day. From entering to leaving we where made to feel special and the food was excellent. The chef came out to tell us the specials and even served the main course. All I can say is I hope to take her back soon. For those of you that are price conscious all I can say to you is “ a good meal in excellent surroundings and service to match is a pleasure to find. Thank you Gigi’s for making our special day Special
