Food: We got the Akia (a fluffy classic breakfast sandwich) and the Kithy (an interesting take on a breakfast sandwich with new textures and flavors). We were both incredibly satisfied with our meals and will be back soon. Inside space: There are 14 chairs total, so when it's full - it's quite full.

3 words what. the. fuck…read more first things first I drove 35 minutes from the Bronx for this fuckass tomato soup. I enter the premises and is immediately welcomed by the attitude of the female cashier. I genuinely felt bad for the kind man she was speaking to cause all he wanted was his order that didn't go through because their WiFi was down. Moving on I go to order the tomato soup I hungrily drove miles for to find out they are out. I was slightly disappointed but what pushed me to the brink was the woman's venomous comment after about not knowing when they were going to get soup. I'm sorry? I just wanted to know... Furthermore she proceeds to blankly stare at me as if I just cursed her entire existence in Latin. I wish I was able to acquire my order as they seemed not only to be out of soup but pretty much everything. No hate to the establishment itself but we need to do better.

Perfectly cooked and friend chicken cutlets with a good marinara sauce with cheese. The chicken parm is the way to go along with their rib eye sandwich. I would also recommend the arancini as it was fried well with a good cheesy rissoto inside.

Maybe I was starving, maybe it had just been a long day, or maybe it really was the best meal I've…read morehad in quite some time. We ordered the Polenta Bread w/olive oil and sea salt, the spring pea salad, the famed two sheet lasagna and the pork chop w/leeks. The polenta bread reminded me of a moister, chewier and softer pizza dough. The spring pea salad was fresh, crunchy, fragrant and refreshing. The lasagna was everything you'd hope it to be and the pork chop is a standout! They also top everything with maldon sea salt so I was a happpppy girl. Service is also amazing, our server was kind and all of the bussers were incredibly observant. 12/10 would recommend, the vibes are immaculate.

Seriously it's like walking back into the 90s in Ridgewood. I'm not gonna lie, I had high expectations for being a bespoke southern breakfast sandwich shop because I like my morning flavors savory. They had some fun ideas like a cheese something biscuit whatever but I wouldn't know cause they gave me the wrong sandwich. It was busy so I didn't bother mentioning it... but this place always seemed busy, so maybe they should be used to it? Anywho, I ended up with two of their classic BEC and it was pretty standard and kind of a letdown for Southern. The wait on the line and the 15ish minutes after and the price weren't so standard but this was their last week, so you pick your battles.

I honestly have faith in anything that comes from their kitchen but their "New Yorker" with the spicy bacon and jam is my favorite combination! Make sure you order it on the cheddar and chive biscuit as well, and I must say that they definitely make one of the best chive and cheddar biscuits that I've ever had! They also make a MEAN bundt cake that I forgot to take a pic of. My ONLY hiccup with them is their wait time. Called in my order 20 minutes before I arrived and still waited an additional 30 minutes once I got there smh.... But don't worry I'll be back lol Ambiance is like a local coffee shop. Literally a Corner Shoppe lol.

We ordered the Pernil ultimate sandwich with seasoned fries to substitute the chips that come with it. The food was made pretty fast. The first bite was mouth watering. So many different flavors i didn't know i needed. The sandwich is very juicy. The wrap doesn't fall apart which i really liked and was very worried about. The fries tasted great. My boyfriend was in love. Can't wait to come back. They have a fully stocked bar also. This place is pretty big for a bar in Ridgewood, outdoor seating is an option too on their patio.

If there were a footrest bar at the bottom it might've helped, but as it was, my butt was not fitting on that seat. I basically had one foot on the floor and one on my friend's chair just to keep myself from sliding off. Graceful! We ordered two espresso martinis and a slice of tiramisu. Both were absolutely lovely and the perfect way to end the night. The staff were friendly, fast, and really on top of things. Next time I'd definitely come for a table, and maybe a proper meal, because the dishes coming out of the kitchen looked divine. My only gripe? Seventeen dollars for an espresso martini feels... ambitious for Ridgewood. It's not like this is some high-end cocktail bar, it's an elevated pizzeria. I'm not sure I'd come back specifically for the drinks, but I'd absolutely come back for the food and the service. I took home a second piece of that tiramisu. It was so delicious!

Fly me to the Moon (or Velmas)!…read more My boyfriend and I are huge Gordo's fans! Velma is the Italian pizzeria sister restaurant. And even closer to home. We went before a show and were more than excited to hear that it was Sinatra Night! Hell yeah. I love Frank Sinatra. What a perfect date night. The band also played songs from Elvis Costello and the Carpenters. I noticed some older gentleman came to watch them. He drove to the show and ordered a hefty size of creamy pasta. This guy is my hero. We ordered the calamari to start. And Nick had a Birra Morreti and I had the "Diesel" cocktail that had the perfect amaro mix! The cocktail was balanced with sweet, strong and still remained smooth. The mushroom "Funghi" pizza was banging. I loved seeing the whole mushrooms on top. And the pesto marries well with the flavors. We devoured our decadent date night meal while time traveling to a different era with the tunes. Highly recommend having an intimate dinner here or get a little group going. The best was leftover pizza for breakfast!
