  Oh how I love From Scratch! Every dish I have ever tried has been incredible. Claudia is a gem, her entire family and staff are all gems! We eat here often and have also done a private cooking class. We learned to make one of our favorite dishes and it was so much fun!! BYOB. 🥰🥰

  I highly recommend checking out this place! The tiramisu, melanzana and lasagna were my absolute favorites. Top notch service from all the staff including the manager who personally came to see that we were taken care off.

  Food was just ok. What blew me away was when I asked for a little more bread the waitress told me it would cost me $4.00. Are you kidding me. I never experienced this before. For this reason I won't go back. There are plenty of good/better restaurants around. NONE of them charge for extra bread!

  On Saturday, March 7th, I dined at the restaurant with a reservation for 5:30 PM. We were the first table to be seated that evening. The food itself was excellent. For appetizers, my wife ordered the eggplant, while my son and I chose the soup. Although the server estimated the eggplant would take 12 minutes to prepare, it actually took 25 minutes to arrive at our table. While the server provided good service and was very apologetic, significant delays and problems originated from the kitchen. The main courses were particularly problematic. After an extended wait, only two out of the three entrées arrived, with one being served cold. The third entrée was brought to our table 15 minutes later. Throughout the experience, there was no manager on duty to offer updates or explanations regarding these delays. Although the server did his best, the lack of managerial presence and poor coordination in the kitchen resulted in a disappointing service experience, especially given the restaurant's pricing. The service quality did not meet expectations and was even less satisfactory than what one might expect at a fast-food establishment like McDonald's. Due to the absence of a manager and the subpar service, I would not recommend this restaurant

  The dishes we ordered were good. The grilled octopus was great, potato soup (Chef's Choice Soup) was delicious and hearty, the carbonara tartufata was delicious although I'm used to a more creamy carbonara sauce which is my favorite. The special of the day - short ribs was on the salty side but flavorful. Ambiance is as expected for a tiny place in Ridgewood. We sat right by the tiny kitchen along the hallway which is fine as but nothing much to look at so there is really not much of an ambiance. There is a big counter in the middle of the restaurant that accommodates a small bar area. I don't think it's necessary. But most importantly, the service was great! I have read some of the unfavorable comments but this time, it was a positive experience for us so no complaints here. I hope they can sustain. I have recommended to my friends and family and we will sure come back. Date: 2/20/2021
