Saturday At IL Giglio , we cater to everyone but if you’re craving steak or seafood we make sure it’s absolutely top-notch. Our steaks are seared to perfection within an inch of their life, creating a thick crust, before being cooked at a low temperature. This method results in a steak with a beautifully crisp exterior yet a juicy centre. 9-inch tiger prawns, sourced from the wild and expertly baked in a delicate salt crust. This cooking method enhances their natural sweetness and succulent texture, allowing the rich flavors to shine through.. If you’ve enjoyed a steak or seafood dish at Il Giglio recently you’ll understand why. Come and experience it for yourself in Cardiff. See you soon!
