Gigi's of Beechworth is an award winning, modern Italian restaurant located in Beechworth's main street, Ford Street. We are trading for a la carte breakfast, lunch and dinner 5 days per week. We are closed Sunday evening, Wednesday and Thursday. We offer a fully licensed wine list spanning local and imported wines including a Giaconda cellar list back to 1994. The menu offers the freshest local and seasonal produce including our own house made sourdough, pasta and freshly roasted espresso coffee.
A southern Italian theme stems the menu but can easily take on French and Spanish influence. We site 40 in the main dining room and offer a private room of up to 20, including an outdoor courtyard.
"I don’t know what you would call our style of food. We cook what we know. Italian and French influences are obvious but our passion is cooking. We make everything we possibly can on premise Sourdough, Pasta, Charcuterie, Prosciutto, Mascarpone, Ricotta even as far as roasting our own coffee which I am very proud of and we are now selling to outlets throughout the region." The Melbourne Age, August 2007.
