"This Best New Restaurant winner has completely charmed Atlantans with its takes on Italian bistro classics like rigatoni fazool with cowpeas replacing cannellini beans and chicken marsala served with fresh focaccia. Whatever you do, don’t skip the tiramisu. Chefs Eric Brooks and Jacob Armando transformed their weekly pop-up in Candler Park into a permanent restaurant in August, transforming the former Gato space into Gigi’s Italian Kitchen and Restaurant. Dirty martini lovers would be wise to order the restaurant’s take on the cocktail, aptly named the Dirty Gigi. More than a few readers called Gigi’s their go-to restaurant in Atlanta." - Beth McKibben
