The home made pasta is excellent. We had the gnocchi and shrimp scampi and both were amazing. The owner is very gracious and provides comfortable, relaxed and friendly service

Great experience. Food excellent. Reserved the private round table tucked in back of restaurant for 3 couples. Food was excellent everyone loved their choices. Service was good. One thing that was odd was that when we got there all the glasses and plates were upside down rims touching table. We are germaphobes so we wiped down our glasses. Also when server brought the Pellagrino she just plopped it on table not opened, no ice, no lemon. Typically a restaurant will bring it with glasses filled with ice and lemon/lime wedges. Despite these minor oversights, I do recommend this very good restaurant in the heart of Ridgewood.

It is always so nice to start your dining experience with a warm greeting. The service and management are always welcoming and right on the spot. Food is tasteful and not rushed. This was the first time we have eaten inside, and it's cozy and warm.
