Gigi's - State College, PA

Date of dining experience: July 19, 2018

Place: Gigi's Southern Table

Location: 2080 Cato Ave. in State College, PA

Entree: Southern Shrimp Carbonara ($20) - Blackened Shrimp, Andouille, Linguini, Basil, Tomato, Sweet Peas, and Parmesan. This was a delicious dish, with the perfect amount of flavor from each of the ingredients.

Beers:

1. Weyerbacher Berry Monks - A deliciously fruity version of a Belgian Tripel. 
2. Troegs Crimson Pistil - Still the best IPA I believe I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy.
3. Dogfish Head SeaQuench Ale - A wonderful Gose that tastes more like a tart limeade than a sour beer. Highly recommended!

Dessert: Red Velvet Bread Pudding - Served warm, this dessert was the perfect ending to a perfect meal.

This is an amazing restaurant with the perfect cozy atmosphere no matter where you sit. You can never go wrong with a little southern-style comfort food. This place is perfect for a romantic rendezvous, a dinner out with friends, or simply a nice sit-down meal with the family. As I plan to return here frequently, I highly recommend this restaurant. Try it out for yourself and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
