"A meal at this Bay Ridge staple should begin with a slice from their take-out pizza counter in the front. Think of it as a pre-appetizer. Ask for the eggplant or grandma, and a server will bring you slices cut into the correct number of slivers for your party size. Then move on to the hot antipasto platter, chicken parm, and orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe. If your table gets overloaded, they'll just bring over another one—Gino's has been hosting big parties since 1964, and they know what they're doing. Someone next to you has probably celebrated every major milestone here, from sweet sixteen to baby shower, and if you need further evidence of how festive an evening at Gino's can be, just know we felt compelled to get an appletini there." - willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, neha talreja
