Frustrated by several recent restaurant closings in and around Hudson, we searched for some places within a half-hour drive or so. I checked out several in Rhinebeck and found that most were quite expensive and not necessarily particularly interesting. Gigi was a notable exception. The menu was not only interesting, with a good number of choices, it was also reasonably priced. The wine list turned out to be quite reasonable as well.

We’ve now been there twice. Standout dishes were:

Fried oysters (a special when I had them, now added to the regular menu)

Lobster ravioli

Lasagna Bolognese

Skizzas (pizzas with a very, very thin crust)

Cod piccata

Porchettini

Lemon cake

Service was also excellent both times.
