Gigio pizza In Nichelino

12/03/2024: A pleasant place to eat and drink well and with entertainment from Monday to Sunday, evocative après ski in the beautiful alpine setting of Sauze D'Oulx TO

29/02/2024: Being in Sauze 3 months now as working in the hotel in the area. Went there mostly after 11 pm. Food is a bit overpriced. I am vegetarian, meaning complicated on food in restaurants, but I think my colleagues did enjoy in their food. I did enjoy it in cheese and salad. There are not many options for vegetarians, and carbs are predominantly everywhere in all other places I visited. Excuse is always : "This is Italia." Reading other reviews, I feel a need to explain something to English people here. This is NOT A RESTAURANT in the way I would understand "The restaurant. " This is more of a pub. A bar. Which serves food as well. Basic menúes that Italians think English people will ask for. You serve to an Englishmen a meat and chips or fish and chips and the Englishmen are satisfied. Give them beers (any kind of beers) to wash it off, and you have basically happy customer. Based on my 7 years of life in England, I couldn't agree with this idea more. Miravallino itself, I don't think it's meant to be a high-end restaurant. This is the place for ordinary people with ordinary taste and not making too much fuss about anything. When staff tells you to "shut up" once you complain about something, that is not to personally insult you! It's their way of being friendly, or at least they think they are. It comes from American movies, I guess. They are actually acting too familiar with you. It's italian style in super busy places. It comes as a shocking behaviour to English people, I know. But let's get that broomstick out of yours.... European people do know about Brexit. Be aware of that. What we can not tolerate is British people acting like they are entitled to something. You are not. The same thing will happen to you wherever you go with this attitude if you want to travel around Europe, Mediterranean in particular. You came here to ski, drink, eat, again drink and again drink and party. So enjoy in colourful experience of Italia, meeting italian cultural origin from the first hand. Now, to continue about my experience in Miravallino. It's one of "The Most" Popular places for night out in the area. Music is from local bands' live performance of all genres to DJ playing different types of music depending on the day. It's a place where it is a bit for everyone. Mainstream. No goth or cyberpunk music. It's a place for all ages, where you can simply eat, drink, sit, pose, pretend to be better than anyone around you (some faces will never smile), be boring all night long, or be natural and on fire on the dance floor. People come in dressed up in their own mood. Some like to look like they were just on the first page of "Vogue," where others will just come in their skiing gear with heavy boots and skiing sunglasses, leaving the skiis outside 😅. They have their "thing." I have seen an Italian/Spanish actor. He was almost invisible, apart from being good-looking. So if you are a celebrity, no one will really notice you or pay any attention to you. You will be safe here to have your night out as all unknown people. No paparazzi chasing you around. You can celebrate your birthday with sparkling candles and having your own cake to share there. When staying here several months, you get familiar with the staff, and they treat you as a friend. They are very professional and friendly to everyone unless you misbehave or are arrogant. Miravallino is, (as all other places in the hospitality industry here are) a long years family business, and they are serious about it. The family. You are only visitor here. Security guys are not to mess with. Some English speaking guests in particular like to get drunk and lose control and inhibitions, which is not acceptable in Italia. But Italian men will always throw some sexist comments on good-looking females. It's part of their macho inheritance. Don't take it as an insult. If you don't want to mess with security, then behave. Or else. 😁 Altogether, if you want to have a fun night out, this place is not to be missed.
