Spaghetti ala vodka & chicken and shrimp
Tifane R.

We came here for dinner on a quiet Thursday and had a wonderful experience. There were only a few other tables of people, and we were seated away from the main entrance which we appreciated. We had a few questions about the menu offerings and our waitress was friendly and eager to answer our questions. We ordered the spaghetti ala vodka and the chicken and shrimp. Absolutely mouthwatering! The warm garlic bread served to the table was good too. I highly recommend them and can't wait to come back!

Pear salad

Heavy foot traffic generally means a place is good but I was left disappointed for a few reasons: Staff seemed to be taking care of too many table Wait time on the food seemed to be too long We asked for the pear salad as an appetizer (very good) but it came with the food NY strip steak was by far the worst I've ever had Carbonara was standard and as expected

We came on a Saturday early afternoon for brunch. It's a lovely café. The service was fast. The server was very attentive. I love that they give you a bottle of water on the table. I ate the garden omelette and I opted for a side salad instead of home fries. The others in my party had the home fries and said they were delicious and they looked very good. But I'm trying to avoid the carbs so when I asked what they could substitute, they told me a side salad. And it was a very lovely and substantial side salad. But the omelette, it was one of the best I have had in a very long time. The chef here knows how to cook. You could taste the butter and the eggs were so tender and light. The mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, and onions inside the omelette along with the jack cheese were just delicious. I have not had a true French style omelette in a long time. This one was so delicious and so satisfying. And the prices on the brunch menu were very, very reasonable, particularly for the incredible quality of the food.

The spicy rigatoni from Stella stole my heart! We also loved the crispy calamari and creamy, savory carbonara!

First time at this restaurant. My wife and I don't usually eat Italian, but we wanted to give this establishment a try. What a nice surprise. We started with an arugula salad, and a quinoa salad. My salad lacked taste, it was bland. My wife's quinoa salad was amazingly delicious, full of taste and flavor. I ordered shrimp scampi, and my wife ordered the salmon. My scampi was very good, but I would've liked a couple more shrimp on my plate. Also, my spaghetti was a little too much al dente. My wife's salmon was a little overcooked, and lacked flavor.

This place is unbelievable in the best way! I have eaten at hundreds of Italian restaurants in the…read moreUS, and spent two weeks in Italy many years ago. No place in the US is as good as true Italian, until this place. This is authentically Italian in the best way. The food is all fresh, farm to table. My salad tasted like it was from Chez Panisse, which is famous for its salads. The pasta was freshly made; the tiramisu was the best I've had outside of Italy, and better than many in Italy, which I've never said in the US anywhere. The staff was delightful and helpful. The head chef is truly Italian and knows what she is doing!, Elisa and Aydon were both fantastic servers. Give both of them a bonus! The ambiance was great, with beautiful lighting and decor. Great for a romantic date or, as I was doing, dinner with a life long friend. I live 3,000 miles away and might make a trip back here sooner just to visit this place. Everyone should come here, you will not regret it!

My son and his girlfriend told me about this restaurant in ridgewood, new jersey. They gave it…read moregreat reviews and spoke highly about the fresh pasta. I wish I had the same experience they had. Unfortunately, the dishes I ate, the flavors were bland and underwhelming. I do appreciate the effort they gave.It was just not for me. The eggplantParmesan appetizer was not breaded as i was used too. It seemed slowly cooked and the texture was too soft for me I did have the octopus, but the flavor from the olives and capers were too overpowering. These comments are mainly opinions from my long professional career. The one thing that I did not care for or agree was the cost of pasta being over $29, specially with just tomato sauce. Our industry is charging obscene pricing on pasta dishes, especially ones that do not have high cost ingredients to them. Look, make the pasta great.Keep the ingredients simple and charge pricing?That will keep customers coming back more often than not.

Made a Resy for lunch on a Saturday 12:30, but it wasn't very busy yet at opening. Decided on 6…read moretapas and one dessert for 2 people, and we were plenty full but not overly so. The wine is sold in half or whole bottles (not glasses), so I opted out this time. The menu is a mix of traditional Spanish tapas as well as American and Latin American mixed in. Our original Resy was canceled due to a change in business hours, so we were offered a complimentary dessert. We tried the cheesesteak empanadas, croquettes, bbq pulled pork arepa, garlic shrimp, octopus, short rib gnocchi and finished with tres leches cake. My favorites were the octopus, shrimp, gnocchi, empanada, and tres leches cake. Croquettes were the least favorite, just not exciting, and they were kind of smashed. The octopus was very tender and enjoyed the sauce and sundried tomatoes that came with it. Everything came out at the right temperature and at a good pace to not overwhelm the table with dishes. The restaurant is dimly lit. I found the booth backs to be very hard and uncomfortable - could use an upgrade. Prices per dish are high for the size, but to be expected with tapas in the states. There are a lot of choices so there's something for everyone.

I know tapas are served in small plates and I know prices are generally high, but I believe anyone who's tried this place will reconsider. The food was tasty, but the price was high and the portions were really too small. If I were to come back, I probably wouldn't be for a full meal; I'd just want to order the Zeppole Tree dessert . We ate around 1:30 pm, so there was no one else at the table and we were the only ones there. The service was very attentive.

This review is solely based on their pizza since I see that they have a pretty large menu and I…read morereally can't judge the other items. We strolled in at around 5:45 on an early Saturday evening on a brick cold New Jersey day and they were BUSSSSY. There weren't many patrons dining inside their small restaurant, but there seemed to be PLENTY of takeout business for whole pies and delivery too. In addition, they had, if my count was correct, at least 9 gentlemen working behind the counter, which pretty much speaks for the volume of business they have (else they are grossly overemployed and overpaying). From what I saw just based on the pizzas on display next to the cash register, the slices looked pretty good. Unfortunately, as the old saying goes, looks can be deceiving. Not to say that the pizza was bad, but it could have been better on multiple fronts. We ordered 4 slices - plain cheese, pepperoni, buffalo and a Santoni's Special. In addition, my wife, veering on the healthier (and smarter) side, ordered a pear salad with chicken. First, I didn't get to try the pear salad, but my wife raved about how good it actually was and how she thoroughly enjoyed it as we munched on our pizza, which she should have been jealous of, but shockingly wasn't. Second, the pizza. My kids ate almost the entirety of their plain cheese and pepperoni slices, so I didn't have a chance to try them, other than a few roni cups that my son claimed were too spicy for him. As for my slices, the buffalo and Santoni's Special, the buffalo was a doozy. When I bite into a buffalo pizza slice, there's nothing I hate more than the fact that it lacks buffalo flavoring and this one was one of those cases. It was more on the side of just tasting like a chicken pizza slice with a slight hint of buffalo flavoring, if that. The Santoni's Special was a bit better in that it had green peppers, sausage, pepperoni, onion and mushroom. It reminded me of a Sbarro supreme slice of pizza. It might not seem like much of a compliment, but I actually enjoyed the Santoni's Special, albeit it was not on the piping hot side, nor did it keep is shape. In fact, neither slice I had was hot, which was very surprising considering that it took a while for them to be served to us, which can only have meant that it was heated up in the oven --- or so I thought????? Also, both slices I ate completely fell apart in that when I tried to fold them in half (like how a true New Yorker eats their slices of pizza), they cracked at the crust and broke creating a fissure looking like I had cut the pizza in that area. It was somewhat annoying as I had to eat the slice with 2 hands, which to me, is a big no-no as one should be able to devour a slice by holding it with just one hand. What self-righteous pizza lover holds a slice of pizza with 2 hands? Well, I had to unfortunately because of the fault line on my pizza. The pizza here definitely has potential and I don't know what a whole pie would taste like, but I'm pretty sure it would be fresher than the slices we had. I get that pizzas where slices are served from are typically sitting out for long periods, but you gotta heat the slices up a lot longer. Cold pizza should only be reserved for the morning when you wake up from that hang over and don't have the mental acuity to throw it in the oven or microwave it.

The pizza is just as great at this Ridgewood offshoot as it is at the original Hackensack location…read moreof the Coal Burning Brick Oven Pizzeria......AND, unfortunately, the service is almost just as subpar as well. After visiting the Hackensack location recently, we decided to give the other location in Ridgewood a try as well since we loved the pizza so much at the original. We dropped in at around 5:15pm on a very quiet Memorial Day weekend Sunday evening and, as expected, the restaurant was also very, very quiet. We were only the 2nd group of diners for the evening, although it did get pretty busy as the evening wore on, including many pick up orders. We ordered a Caesar Salad to start along with the Combo Platter, which came with some fried ravioli, fried mozzarella, & chicken fingers. First, the Caesar Salad ---- we ordered it just to get some greens in our systems, but it was pretty much like the one served in Hackensack. The croutons in the salad were just cut up pieces of the bread that they include in the order as a side, but stale-tasting. As for the Combo Platter, that was decent, but the fried ravioli felt a bit empty, as in it felt like I was just eating a square piece of fried dough with no filling. The fried mozzarella and chicken fingers were decent, however, having some marinara sauce to dip them in DEFINITELY helped. For our entree, we shared a medium Tomato & Cheese pie with 1/2 Pepperoni. As I said, the reason we came here was because we absolutely loved the pie from the Hackensack location and didn't expect anything less here. The pizza pie came out piping hot, which was a great sign. Flavor-wise it was fantastic - the tang of the tomato sauce was delicious and the amount of cheese was perfect. Honestly, it was still one of the best pizzas I've EVERRRR had and I've had my fair share of pizza in NYC and New Haven. BUT...yes, there's a BUT here, where in Sam Hill was the pepperoni?!?! I encountered just a measly 9 pepperonis in total on the half of the pie that had it. Seriously, 9?!?! If I can count the number of pepperoni cups on the pizza, you better believe there is a problem...BIG problem. At the Hackensack location, we had the problem of having TOO MANY pepperoni cups, including 2 or 3 stacked one on top of the other. Anyhow, the pizza was still great, but more evenly spread pepperoni would have helped. Soooo, back to the service though. I'm not sure what it is about both locations, but the waiters really come off as rude - no "You're Welcomes", no "How is everything going? Can I get you anything?" Not much interaction at all. To be honest, not a whole lot of professionalism. At the Hackensack location, the waiters seem a bit more seasoned, but something still seems off, while at the Ridgewood location, we just didn't feel very welcome. Maybe we were being a bit sensitive, but having felt like we have dined everywhere, it felt easy identifying the "blah" service. Doubt it was an off night. Bottom line. The pizza is GREAT here and you definitely get your money's worth with the large, but don't come here thinking you're walking into the Cheers bar anytime soon.
