On 18 January 2011, Gigliotti returned to his homeland, after agreeing to a six-month loan deal at former side All Boys, now in the first division.[8][9] On 20 July, he moved to fellow league team San Lorenzo in a temporary one-year deal.[10]

Gigliotti scored his first goal for Boca on 15 September 2013, netting the last in a 2–0 home win against Racing. Late in the month, he scored a brace in a 2–0 home defeat of Quilmes, and netted the game's only in an away success over rivals River Plate on 6 October.
