Bringing Italy’s Finest Flavors to Newfoundland’s Capital

In St. John’s, where the Atlantic breeze meets a city rich in character and charm, food is more than sustenance — it’s a way of life. From bustling restaurants on Water Street to cozy kitchens overlooking the harbor, every meal tells a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and connection. At GiGi Importing, we make sure that story includes the unmistakable flavor of Italy.

For decades, GiGi Importing has been a trusted Italian food importer and wholesale distributor across Canada. Our mission in St. John’s is simple — to bring the authentic taste of Italy to homes, restaurants, cafés, and specialty grocers. From premium olive oils and sauces to rich Italian coffee, pastas, and imported beverages, every product reflects Italy’s culinary excellence and the quality Newfoundland chefs and families deserve.

The Italian Connection in St. John’s

Where Atlantic Hospitality Meets Italian Tradition

St. John’s has always been known for its warm hospitality and deep appreciation of good food. Whether it’s seafood caught fresh that morning or bread baked with care, locals value authenticity and quality — principles that align perfectly with Italian cuisine.

GiGi Importing bridges these two worlds. Our network brings Italy’s most beloved staples straight to Newfoundland’s capital — so when you drizzle olive oil on freshly caught cod, stir pasta into tomato sauce, or sip espresso after dinner, you’re tasting the same ingredients used in kitchens from Naples to Florence.

We proudly support local restaurants, independent cafés, and boutique grocers that want to offer customers something truly special — authentic Italian products imported directly from Italy.
