Comments

I have gone to both Gigi Trattoria and Gigi’s Market (in Red Hook) and have never been disappointed. The food is excellent, the presentation always has that extra little loveliness and I can never complain about the service. At Gigi’s Market I can usually not walk out without purchasing some of their baked goods, too. You won’t be disappointed!

Gigi Trattoria is so lively and chic no one would suspect there’s a dietitian calling the shots.  Owner/registered dietitian Laura Pensiero calls the food here “Hudson Valley Mediterranean.” We call it refreshing.  Just when you think you know the Italian restaurant repertoire by heart, along comes crispy calamari-and-zucchini ($12.95); braised lamb shank with roasted vegetables and maple pumpkin polenta ($24.95); gnocchi with gorganzola cream and caramelized celery root ($11.50 or $16.50).  For those who prefer the tried-and-true, there are thin-crusted “skizzas” (individual flatbread pizzas, $9.75 - $12.50), and an astonishing rib-eye with fries (32 oz serves two, at least, for $39.95). Don’t be put off if the place looks packed. Somehow, they always manage to seat you in a blink.
