    I love this place. Hard to get reservations, which also explains how good it is. I recommend going there on Saturday during day. They are open and we were lucky to just walk in and be seated.

    Great place for homemade Italian food. We tried their Carbonara and Veil pasta. It was very delicious. They also have a good selection of dessert. It's BYOB. The servers were very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend to make reservations as it is a small place

    A local fave that we frequent often. Lovely family owned business with house made pasta and incredible specials. One of our favorite places in Ridgewood.

    Wow is all we can say. The octopus appetizer was outstanding. All the pastas we had were incredible. You can tell everything is homemade here. We definitely will be coming back!

    From Scratch is always excellent, but if you get a chance to do a cooking class with Claudia it’s a game-changer. She was incredibly thorough explaining the history of carbonara and we went through all the steps to ensure a truly authentic experience. I can’t wait to take the lasagna and ravioli classes in the future. Our group had a blast and I’d highly recommend it whether its a casual dinner, or learning something new for your culinary repertoire. Graziemille!
