We've been to this restaurant a number of times and it has not disappointed. Friday night we ordered dishes we had not had before , each of which was delicious. Attentive staff, lovely ambience. the portions were sufficiently large that we ended up taking home half our entrees and ate them the next night for dinner--equally delicious. Highly recommend.

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.
