Gigi Trattoria & Catering

Had apps, dinner, and dessert at the bar on 11/09/24. Dinner,drinks,dessert and service was top shelf

Service was slow, food was nothing special and it's far too expensive for what you get. Not worth it. Two thumbs down.

Excellent space to sit and relax. Atmosphere was beautiful, food was excellent. Service could have been faster.
We ate lunch here and choose 3 appetizers, and two desserts. Everything was excellently prepared and very tasty.

Dietary restrictions: I was able to eat gluten-free here.

First, I’d like to say that most times I have enjoyed dinner here with my husband. But unfortunately last weekend I was very disappointed, and I think the problem was not enough servers and help. I had booked well in advance a party of 8 for a birthday dinner. I feared from the moment we sat down that things would not go well. The food was not the problem. Five of us had finished our entrees while 3 of my guests still hadn’t been served theirs. I was afraid to order dessert for the birthday celebration portion! I am sure our server was overwhelmed with too many tables. I strongly suggest not to do dinner with more than 3 people , and even then be prepared for sharing your server with many other tables. It will be a while before I return.

Food was good. Salads were huge but dressing was better on side salads than main salads. We were served a charcuterie board by accident. Turned it away immediately, but it was brought back and comped. There were both bees and flies outdoors that had us a bit distracted.

Truly disappointed, grabbed two salads here today, and for $55 what a rip off. For starts the Barbina salad had maybe five slices of beats in it, dryer than dry, I basically got a bowl of greens, a pinch of nuts and about a pinch of goat cheese, added chicken for $11 the quantity of half a breast and dried out beyond. This place used to make a great salad, I will never order salads here again and now I’m reluctant to believe anything else is still good. Also ordered a rughetta salad…just as horrible, a bowl of dry greens with half a breast of dried chicken. I should have ordered sushi for $55. Topped with no plastic ware in the bag…so much for eating on the go.

Had the chicken. Horrible! Totally without taste.Raw inside. Said it came with roasted cauliflower. There were 3 pieces on my plate the size of my thumb nail. Was looking forward to Sicilian food. I've had better chicken in a diner. $34 for a piece of chicken? Nice atmosphere but would never go back. Maybe pizza are ok, but there are better, cheaper pizza joints all over

The gnocchi was top notch with just enough pesto... The shrimp were cooked just right in the gambas appetizer! The sauce was delicious, it should be bottled. The today points were yummy as well.

If you don't look rich, they won't be nice to you.

Never met a more solid 3 star experience in my life.

The food was exactly the described ingredients, but tasted very bland.

The staff was kind but rushed us the entire time.

The atmosphere does not fit with the rest of Rhinebeck.

Pick a cuter place to eat.

My husband and I have been coming to Gigi's for over a year in summer and now, in fall. Though we have gone to the other restaurants in Rhinebeck, Gigi's is the one we consistently return to because we love it THAT much. The food is wonderful, flavorful and perfectly seasoned! More importantly, my specific dietary issues (e.g. lactose intolerance) are always accommodated. Finally, I can have a Skizza that is gluten-free AND has vegan cheese! Woohoo!

Laura Pensiero regularly updates her menu for seasonal specials (including vegan options) that are delicious.

She and her staff are wonderful! We always feel very much welcomed here and view Gigi's as our dining home away from home. It is a wonderful restaurant - a real treasure- that should be enjoyed and appreciated! Thank you, Laura and Team!

Recommended dishes: Tagliatelle Bolognese, Gigi Meatballs, Mediterranean Dip, Chicken Sandwich, Pizza Margherita, Burger

We love coming here for the skizza and fries! They are always so nice to our pup when we bring her to eat outdoors. Super good sandwiches too - will continue to come back and try new things!

Highly recommend. Great food, GF options, pretty outdoor dining. While visiting we went twice. I would recommend the bolognese. Our servers Chaya and Jessica were friendly and attentive. Would go again.

The service was ok. The food was ill-prepared:

1. My skizza had ingredients other than as set forth in the menu, including a vegetable to which I am allergic.

2. The replacement skizza was not hot.

3. All our salads were either under-dressed or undressed. When they brought out additional dressing at our request, it was not the flavor we had requested.
