Giginos

Giginos is one of my local Pizza places hidden amongst a residential area. Chances are that most people will be unaware of it due to its location, and separation from the buzzing meccas.However, if you wish to venture – you shall be rewarded with some excellent food.

Giginos can be found in Fairfield West. But make sure you book ahead of time, it is a very popular small restaurant with very limited seating.

 

 

Eat Love Pizza

Eat Love Pizza is located in a prime location in Darling Harbour right next to the Imax Theatre. Strangely enough its prime location does not help in bringing in customers unfortunately. As you walk around the bend from Darling Harbour to Cockle Bay Wharf you tend not to see the rest of the restaurant. I have walked past this restaurant many times, and just assumed that it was some kind of take out place.

We decided to give this place a couple weeks ago, and thought that the decor was much nicer than we had anticipated.

Arancini Balls. These tasted ‘breadier’ and drier than the usual arancini balls I have had in the past. The added sauce is a necessity in this case. I wasn’t blown away. Perhaps a different kind of sauce rather than something that is essentially Tomato Sauce would raise it up another level.

Frittata. Nice and light, and the salad complimented it very well.

Gamberi  Tomato base, garlic tiger prawns, chilli, wilted spinach & sweet chilli sauce

I really enjoyed this pizza.  Although I think it could do with a little more chilli/spice as it is listed in the ingredients.

Gelato & Sorbet  With biscotti.Chefs Selection. Cookies and Cream, Coconut and some fruity one. The cookies and cream tasted pretty standard, the coconut tasted like coconut milk you get out of a can. Unfortunately I didn’t catch the flavour of the fruity one, but it tasted a lot like Fruit Tingle Lollies. Awesome.
