Had a fabulous first time at Il Gigante. Sat at the bar - shout out to Matthew and Kayla for taking such good care of us. Great ambience, not too loud, but still a fun atmosphere. Food was exceptional. The pasta and all the ingredients were fresh and portion sizes were hefty! Great price for the food and drinks. Just all around fabulous! Cheers!!!
Enjoyed a really spectacular dinner at il Gigante earlier this week. I’d walked past a few times and had been curious to find a solid Italian spot near me in Bushwick, and boy did they deliver.

A divine dining experience. The friendliest staff. Amazing dishes. Phenomenal wine list. Cozy, warm interior. Baby friendly (they brought us a high chair) and babe loved the meatballs. Do not miss the cotoletta, it’s unreal. We were very excited to find a place with northern Italian dishes — the gramigna alla sasiccia is absolutely incredible! A solid choice to end on the panna cotta. We will be back again and again.
