1. il Gigante

    Italian

    In a modest Ridgewood corner, il Gigante serves the Italian essentials with quiet confidence: silky lasagna Bolognese arrives with its own vessel of grated Parmigiano, while cacio e pepe and branzino demonstrate a kitchen that knows what it's doing without needing to announce it. The room is intimate and unhurried, the sort of place where neighborhood regulars outnumber tourists.
