"Rolo’s is a zoo, and we don’t see that changing anytime soon. For a realistic Ridgewood option that’s just as fun and casual, choose Il Gigante. The neighborhood Italian spot has bubbly servers, well-priced wine, and a range of impressive pastas that are all under $20. Get a bowl of gramigna in a pink sauce loaded with sausage, and pair it with a carafe of chilled frappato." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
