La Gigo GI in Brighton and Hove

Enjoyed a lovely brunch here. Although not many tables and you may need to wait and/or share a table it’s definitely worth it. Great selection for brunch and delicious coffee.

Can't understand how the only other review is one star. Claims of food poisoning are dubious and unrealistic considering the establishment's high hygiene standards. I've been going on a regular basis for over three years now. Here's what's what: - Friendly staff. - Efficient service. - Nice authentic atmosphere. - Good quality coffee, ice creams, smoothies and food. - Better prices than in the edgier coffee shops. - Good wifi. - Decent amount of plugs to charge devices. - Nice terrace view. - Good free coffee reward card for frequent customers. - Great for work in the summer

Went there on Boxing Day. All the prices were up ( because it was Boxing Day...) , I chose a mozarella focaccia panini. It was good, however a few hours late, I have had cramps , and being going to the toilets constantly. The cramps even woke me up during the night and I had to go quick to the toilets. Food poisoning!!! Be careful when you go there after a weekend or bank holidays!

Visited this lovely cafe on Tuesday. Lovely homemade food great minestrone and fabulous focaccia sandwiches. Our 2 year old had a child's portion of pasta which was big and very tasty. She finished it all!! Cake and coffee excellent. Really enjoyed this gem!!

Found this little gem for lunch this week. Serves excellent Italian food for sit in or takeaway. I ate in and the food and service was excellent. The cafe was exceptionally clean and well laid out.

Lovely unexpected place in Brighton: not a chain and not pretentious! Proper home made options - hot food (our choice Spag Bol / Moussaka / Quiche and salad) or sandwiches and cakes. Not overly priced, good quality and tasty.

I've always liked this place and although ownership has changed over the years they have maintained excellent coffee and food. Great place for people watching.

Verdadeiramente italiano, lugar aconchegante e com preços bons. Atendimento perfeito, gentil e muito rápido. Recomendo

We arrived early in Brighton and found this lovely little cafe just down the hill from the railway station. Breakfast for three of us with drinks was served up very quickly and was most enjoyable. We even tried some cakes (although it was really too early for these) and they were delicious if very, very sweet. The staff were very helpful and the whole place seemed clean and bright. Italian biscuits, pasta etc were also on sale.

Don't walk past, though the exterior lets this little gem down. The food is fresh and homemade, whilst the interior is light and modern. I needed cake and their banana cake had just come straight out the oven! Served with ice cream, it hit the spot! The coffee is also very good. Authentic Italian, I will be back and would happily recommend!

Been here a few times.staff not always helpful.ask for de caf and I'm not confidant the staff hear me! Went to the toilet-no hand towels!when I asked for one with dripping hands I was offered a grubby looking tea towel!the one they were drying the dishes with!I declined and picked up a paper napkin from the counter!I suggested that the paper towel dispenser should be refilledThe waitresses looked at me as if I was asking for a pot of gold!

We came out of Brighton Train Station and started to look for somewhere to grab some lunch, La Gigo Gi (on Queens Road a stones throw away - there is at least one other elsewhere in the city) caught our attention and we had a look at the menu and we were straight inside. I opted for the pasta of the day - which was yummy and my other half had a filled bread of cured meats which was toasted for him - so tasty he assured me. I decided to have a slice of the Tirimisu Cake and my other half had some gelato both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. Would recommend this to anyone.

Had a lovely breakfast here. Delicious coffee. Fresh orange juice. Scrambled eggs on delicious bread. My hubbie also had ham. Shame they don't have other ways of cooking eggs as would have had our second breakfast here on weekend stay in Brighton. Will go back and can strongly recommend this lovely little cafe.
