Gigi's Pasta

In a city known for power lunches and fast-paced dining, a new kind of escape has arrived. Gigi's Pasta, opening at Western Market DC invites Washingtonians to
step away from the rush and into a space where every bowl tells a story. A story of tradition, warmth, and the simple joy of a perfectly made plate of pasta. Gigi's Pasta is a love letter to the Italian coast, wrapped in the convenience of modern fine-casual dining. At Gigi’s, pasta isn't merely food; it's comfort, creativity, and
connection, served fresh throughout the day in an atmosphere that feels like a sunny afternoon in Vietri sul Mare.
 

A Taste of Italy, Crafted with Care. At the heart of Gigi's is an unwavering commitment to authenticity. Every ingredient is sourced directly from Italy, and every strand of pasta is rolled fresh daily on a handmade ceramic table imported from Vietri — a centerpiece that serves as both functional art and a testament to Italian craftsmanship. The pasta machine sits proudly in view, a reminder that what you're about to eat was made with the same care and respect for
tradition that Italian grandmothers have practiced for generations. Guests can craft their own pasta experience, selecting from an array of fresh sauces, proteins, and seasonal ingredients, or choose from hot-and-ready signature dishes that capture the bright, clean flavors of coastal Italian cooking. Each bowl is a small journey — simple, satisfying, and made to transport you somewhere warmer, slower, and more
delicious.
 

Step Inside and Leave the City Behind. The moment you walk through the door, Gigi's wraps you in the charm of a retro Italian eatery. Vibrant yellows and greens echo the lemon groves and Mediterranean waters of the Amalfi Coast. Floral patterns and vintage touches create a space that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly current — a place where the past and present meet over a steaming bowl of Amatriciana. It's bright. It's welcoming. And It's designed to make you forget, just for a moment, that you're steps away from the bustle of Pennsylvania Avenue.
 

Who Is Gigi? Some say Gigi is the Italian grandmother who taught the founders never to compromise on freshness. Others believe she's the girlfriend who made them fall in love with pasta all over again. Perhaps she's the neighbor who always had a pot simmering on the stove, ready to invite you in with open arms and a full heart. The truth? Gigi is all of them — and maybe she's someone different to everyone who walks through the door. She's the spirit behind the pasta, the feeling you get when a meal is made with love, and the reason there's always a warm welcome waiting at Gigi's.
