Gigino at Wagner Park’s unheated outside dining area offers a spectacular view of Lady Liberty and the New York Harbor in the summer, yet also has a small indoor dining area in winter.
The uncovered outdoor area is not heated and there is sun at times on the patio.
Nestled between the Wagner Hotel and the Statue of Liberty, Gigino can be found just a few steps south of The Museum of Jewish Heritage. Owner Bob Giraldi and Phil Suarez along with executive chef Luigi Celentano, have taken great pride in bringing Italian cuisine to Battery Park City for over twenty years.

Our party of six truly enjoyed all of our meals. The lentil and potato soup was divine. They serve two kinds of GF pasta, even though it is not on their menu or their website - a good thing to know! The view is wonderful. Outside dining is their only/best option so be sure to bring a sweater or jacket in case the wind changes direction off the Hudson. It can be chilly!

The restaurant has a lovely outdoors area under a large canopy. In early May, when we went, it was a little bit chilly due to the lack of heaters. Yet, the staff very kindly agreed to move us to an indoor table for our dessert, when the sun had set and the cold was biting. Food was very good and the staff very attentive.

Signature beet pasta dish is excellent. Cod special had too much over it to really taste the fish. Pear salad simple with the listed ingredients. We came here before a show next door. Would stop in again if in the area. Would not make a special trip. Tried to seat us outside without having heaters there.

This was some of the best Italian food we have had in a long time. Also, we appreciated the fact that the manager told us as we were seated that they were short staffed but it really was not a problem. The meal most likely took 15 minutes longer than our normal time

The food here was excellent as was the service! We were recommended this restaurant by one of our tour guides and it didn't disappoint. The atmosphere was not at all what I expected but we were there during bad weather and I assume that the warmer months where the seating is outside right on the water with a view of the Statue of Liberty is where the real ambiance lies!

The restaurant was hard to locate as there was no signage except for a makeshift board written in colored marker. The restaurant is small but the atmosphere is cozy. Service was wonderful. We ordered the prize fixe menu and it was delicious! Will recommend this restaurant to friends.

A very special location right on NY harbor with a magnificent view although we sat in an alcove which was very cozy. Loved everything about this low-key but really spectacular place....can't wait to return to enjoy the outdoor space and a sunset...only negative was the caesar salad...tiny portion and not very authentic dressing...but the angel hair pasta with seafood was amazing...

Dined at Gigino in BPC because I was attending a show nearby. Unfortunately, it was the coldest night in years and I was wandering around searching for this poorly lit restaurant for over 20 minutes. Found o few others in the same position and we only found it because I happened upon a security guard in the area. Food was ok, atmosphere same. If you live down there it’s probably a fine place but it was so hard to find, the whole experience was ruined. Get a spotlight people!

The menu is loaded with tasty items to bring you back for more as the food is tops. The service was attentive and the ambiance is great with a window seat. One group of six at a nearby table had someone hard of hearing that interrupted briefly-no fault of the restaurant, but it was the only thing that spoiled an otherwise perfect visit.
