Gigi's Italian Kitchen
Gigi's Italian Kitchen is a restaurant in Candler Park & Lake Claire, Atlanta, at 1660 McLendon Av. NE.
Gigi's Italian Kitchen started as a pop-up and now fills the old Gato space on McLendon Avenue with checkered tablecloths, family photos and a counter facing the open kitchen. The menu is small and changes often, leaning on seasonal vegetables and house-made pasta rather than red-sauce standards (there is famously no lasagna). Expect dishes like beef carpaccio, polenta cakes with trout roe and caviar, mafaldine with duck confit and chicken parmigiana, plus aperitivi, Italian wines and amari.

Musts
Grilled focaccia with olive butter, beef carpaccio, caviar and polenta, whichever house-made pasta is on, and the tiramisu.
Good to know
Reservations open on Resy two weeks ahead, and the counter, outdoor seats and some tables are kept for walk-ins. Parties top out at six, seatings run about 90 minutes, and you can bring your own bottle for a corkage fee.
