Very simple menu. Nicely seasoned burger. Fries could be a lot crisper. Zero ambience. Designed to be basic and meeting that standard. Celiac friendly.
We were in Rhinebeck for the weekend. We had dinner here on a nice summer night in their covered outdoor dining area. I am gluten-free and they had a nice variety of choices and also offered a gluten free beer. We will definitely be back.
Loved this place! We came here from Massachusetts to celebrate our anniversary. We made a reservation online and were sat promptly. It's hard to find a dedicated gluten free restaurant, especially fine dining. We got the carrot bread, beet salad, duck for two and chocolate torte for dessert. The carrot bread came over an aioli with some sort of pickled veggie on the side-delicious combo. The beet salad was delicious but it would have been better if they had cut the lettuce. Also it was so dark in there I couldn't see the bottom of the bowl haha but I got it sorted. The duck was really good but the star of the show was the potato that came with it. It was a twice baked truffle potato and it was the best potato I've ever had in my entire life. They also had no problem making it dairy free for me even though it usually comes with dairy. I love how accommodating they are! The duck came with the potato and broccolini over a pan gravy. The gravy was also amazing. The chocolate torte we got for dessert was also delicious. It had some sort of fruit topping, maybe rhubarb? Whatever it was, it was delicious and complimented the chocolate perfectly. We also had some drinks from the cocktail menu. Their cocktails were unusual and complex and were expertly crafted by the bartender.
The place is small, I think seven tables, but they also had outside seating with outdoor heaters. My only complaint is that it's very dark in there. I had to hold my menu up to the candle to read it. But that's part of the vibe. I enjoyed the music and very much enjoyed the food and drinks. We stayed at the Beekman Arms next door. We can't wait to come back someday!
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!
A restaurant with a spectrum of dishes of authentic names but not necessarily fully authentic taste. Anything you order could be made mild to spicy. Good vegan and vegetarian options including gluten free. Excellent goat cheese naan freshly baked and not too greasy
I went to this restaurant as a Celiac and almost the entire menu was gluten-free! They understood cross contamination and I had no reaction. I felt safe eating here and would recommend it to other celiacs! ♥️

We love this place, Lily was amazing! We thank her and the Staff for helping my partner with managing his gluten allergy at their last buffet style event.
This is an incredibly historic restaurant/Inn. If you are in Rhinebeck for the day this place is a must. I had their burger on gluten free bread and the kettle chip nacho platter which was easy better than expected. The staff is very friendly and efficient. There are multiple areas to eat, providing vastly different atmospheres. The oldest section has dark wood, low ceilings and very low light. The atrium is bright, cheerful, and had a view of the town. The dining room is elegant and peaceful. Then there is outdoor seating, which needs no explanation. I would have given the place 5 stars but my French fries were over cooked and the oil they used must have been a tad old or something, but the rest of the food was so good I overlooked it.

This place is wonderful!!! Cocktails were delicious - had a ginger margarita. I have celiacs and have to be careful of what I eat. They had gluten free crust (though NOT mentioned in the menu) and it could be used for any pizza. I had the fig, apple argula pizza and devoured the entire thing!!! The waitress was funny and helpful ... I would highly recommend this place for anyone!!
Owners were very nice. Food was good.
Parking across street in lot and on street.
Plenty of options to have here.
They have Gluten free bread if you have an allergy.
Celiac friendly
