    One of the best cakes/Ice cream place in Town. Their pizza is also great! The atmosphere is nice.

    The food was delicious... We had the stew and pizza and the other two had ice cream. Not sure if it's the food or drink or ice cream but the other two got sick

    I really liked this place. It wasn't just gigibontà, it was the surrounding area as well. It was all so vibrant. The food, drinks and the ice cream were great. The mood was awesome. It's just a great place to go and be.

    "I Scream for Icecream" I believed Gigi has made its name for itself. If you are looking for the best Icecream and Pizza Shop in town, this is the place to be. They are second to none and they always deliver there best. They also have an Amazing collection of cakes, nuggets and pastries. Tip: If you're like me (a private person and you hate too much crowd) I advise that you visit during the week, they are Jampacked in weekends. Can't blame them cause "Everyone wants the best".

    I loved visiting Gigibonta. If you are in Sierra Leone it's a place to visit. The ice cream is very nice. I had the chocolate and mint ice cream with brownies. The chicken nuggets were also tasty. The prices are very friendly and the view is fantastic. There's is the restaurant as well. I'll definitely be back. It's Italian 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁❤️❤️

    Located right at the middle of Lumley beach, the restaurant offers best quality pizzas and ice creams in the town. Both the pizzas and ice creams are available in great varieties. Paradise for the sea food and non-vegetarian eaters.

    Food was relatively good. Can't compare my Hawaiian pizza with the one I had in New York city but it made the cut. I was very impressed with the quality of the ice cream! It was sooo good! Yeah, if you have money in Sierra Leone....you are living life the way its supposed to be lived!

  • 5/5 Elisa T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service, smiling and efficient, food overall is one of the best you can have in town. Very nice pizza, worthy also the calzone. And very good pasta! I recommend pasta with ragù and linguine with fish sauce: delicious! Drinks side: you can have a real spritz and also good wine. Grazie Gigi Bontà!!!!

    The food was great, really great, except me and my wife both got food poisoning and its been three days we have not recovered yet. Runny stomach, painful cramps and vomiting like there’s no tomorrow.

    Bravo... The best pizza in the West coast... Waitress nice and professional. The only thing is the separate coffee section. Overall good experience! Ma ca... adesso piove e sono a piedi...

    We have been visiting your place since the beginning and were always pleased with your service. Unfortunately during our last three visits we observed that the quantity and quality of the ice and other products have drastically deteriorated.

  • 5/5 Brichel B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great experience, Lots of treats to get from here, place a clean and nice Outdoor space, not too good during a rainy day Can be overcrowded someday. But you will definitely have a good time.

  • 5/5 Lyla M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic pizza and ambiance. Great gelato. Reminds me most of typical western style pizzerias. Must visit if you miss “home” and seeing something familiar if you’re an ex-pat or recently moved to Freetown.

  • 4/5 David Rogers J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Ice cream flavor varieties, restaurant has great pizza but a silly rule... stopped by on a weekday because niece wanted pizza... 5 adults 1 child... we adults ordered cocktails and I think chips, then 1 pizza for niece... was told the large table required 2 pizzas... we didn't need 2 pizzas... so we canceled the order and left. Their pizza is good, and I could understand if it was a busy weekend or night... but mid-day on a weekday with only 2 other tables occupied.... do better

  • 2/5 Alicia H. 1 year ago on Google
    Only reason I'm giving 2 star instead of 1 is because the location is good and the ice cream was decent. The staff were either very lackluster in their service or just out right rude. The other food items that we got left a lot to be desired too, just very blah especially considering the price.

  • 5/5 francesc g. 1 year ago on Google
    Quite interesting ice-cream from classic to local choices. Big terrace to sit down at anytime day or night opposite crossing the road you have the beach. Usually crowded by locals and expats. Excellent place to hang out.

  • 5/5 Yara K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the few places in Freeetown with good food, wines and very relaxed atmosphere. Best pizza in town, best icecream, true italian hospitality.

    Great ice cream, best in town, good European standard.

  • 4/5 Chloe L. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely pizza and good cocktails! Not cheap but not to pricey- around £15/15,000 leones for a drink, pizza and shared side dish.

  • 4/5 Alpäslan A. 4 years ago on Google
    Pizza is OK. The ice cream is great. I love how it is close to the beach. So, you are able to get an ice cream and go on to the beach. It is awesome but the pizza makers need retraining first few times where good but it went downhill.

    do you like pızza ;)

  • 5/5 Ioannis P. 5 years ago on Google
    Probably the best gelateria in town. There are two gelaterias by the beach in Aberdeen both great. Prefer this one if you want to chill and enjoy your ice-cream or coffee by the sun in their beautiful garden just in front of the beach. There is a big variety of different flavors, and most of them taste good. The coffee is also good and in addition they also sell tartes for birthdays etc.

  • 4/5 Vaidotas G. 4 years ago on Google
    Ginger ice cream was very good. Hot and sweet at the same time, exactly as i like. The terras is lively, but cozy with a nice city view.

    I just had an ice cream. Was raining, and even though I requested an umbrella first, I had to wait while they sorted out two other clients before me. Wasn't happy about that but Gigibonta remains a great place to hang out with great ice cream and Pizza.
