My only regret was not coming here sooner. It was like dining with family without the arguments. Lol. Don't drive by this wonderful place like I did for years. You won't be disappointed. Parking is no problem as they have their own lot.“

One of the owners, Marcello makes his rounds around the room speaking to his customers and making you feel at home. Everything I ordered was delicious and the waiters are so polite and attentive. Pleasant atmosphere and I will be back again. Thank you staff for your hospitality. It’s a BYOB. It’s a small restaurant with outdoor dining. Definitely 5 stars!!!!!“

“Had a surprise birthday party here for my sister in law. The staff, including Brianna and Jasmine were fantastic. They were so accommodating with our requests and the service and food were on point! We were able to arrive early to decorate our party area that already looked very nice without our decorations. We picked off their standard party menu but they had no problem tweaking it to our requests. Last minute requests for pasta and butter for kids was no problem. We have already placed a deposit for my daughter's bridal shower for next year. Also..BYOB!!!“

“Great food and service was excellent“

“Our group of six were sat inside the main room. The decor is beautifully decorated with a welcoming atmosphere. We had a mix of specials and menu items. The appetizers and dinners were delicious full servings. The dessert plate offered a mouth watering selection. The friendly owner came to the table twice to explain the specials, and to make sure that everything was good with our meals. Our table was well attended to by servers, and the byob service allows for a great meal at a very reasonable price. I look forward to returning to try the outdoor seating when the weather is cooler. This is by far one of the best restaurants in Ridgewood.“

“Chicken cutlets are my go to. Feeds my 3 kids and us for a quick dinner. Always the best service from ordering to pick up. Thanks guys!“

“A hidden gem of an excellent italian restaurant. From the moment you step in, you're warmly greeted by the hostess. They immediately serve you complimentary Bruschetta along with salami and cheese. Outstanding taste! The Caesar salad was delicious! Perfectly prepared with just the right amount of dressing with a hint of anchovies. The Chicken Parmigiana was also perfectly prepared. Three pieces of thinly sliced tender chicken topped off with a generous amount of homemade marinara and mozzarella. The featured pistachio martini should not be missed. Amazingly prepared with a small scoop of pistachio ice cream. It definitely could also be served as a dessert drink. After the table is cleared, you are served with a small plate of sliced fresh cantaloupe and mini biscotti cookies. The dessert selections included two homemade choices. A decadent looking chocolate lava soufflé and a rich chocolate banana bread served warm with a premium tasting vanilla ice cream and whip cream. The banana bread dessert was one of the finest desserts I've had. Outstanding texture, flavor and sweetness. Service was attentive and on point however, our server did neglect to enter our appetizer when ordering our food from the kitchen. This is a family friendly neighborhood restaurant that has a great selection of fine foods, desserts and service. Valet parking on this Friday evening was the only parking option. The valet service was equally as good as the restaurant service. Engaging, attentive, friendly and polite.

Parking: Valet only on this Friday evening.“

“We use to Frequent Nadie’s all the time when they were in Wayne. Honestly since they moved we forgot about them. Went there last night for dinner and I must say it was outstanding. Our young waiter was awesome. Had the pan fried scallops over bruschetta and arugula with fresh homemade rigatoni it was amazing..the scallops were sliced thin the rigatoni was mouth watering. Even their house salad was like a remembered it. This Gem of a restaurant is A Must Stop I highly recommend it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?“

“I went there with my 2 sisters and their husbands for dinner. The dining area was very inviting. We got a table by the window which was nice but as the crowd grew the noise level got really bad. The service was good and the waiter knew his stuff. The portions are large but the shrimps were cold and my med rare lamb was well done. We sent the shrimp back to reheat. The funny thing was that as soon as my wife lifted her plate the waiter said , oh not hot enough. Did overall was just okay. Desert menu was small but okay. Not a I’m running back restaurant“
