One of the best meals I’ve had in Bergen County. A really elevated dining experience with nice options at every course. The focaccia was great to start with, every single salad was fantastic, I loved the pork Milanese, but the homemade gnocchi was incredible.
Lemon tart to finish was balanced and elegant.
I’m excited to try more things on the menu next time I’m here.

Lula is the kind of place you bookmark for nights that matter. It consistently delivers delicious food made with authenticity and care—and gets it right every single time. The ambiance (don’t skip the custom-designed bathroom wallpaper) is relaxed and modern, the kind of place that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile the moment you walk in and are warmly greeted.
Order the fluffy focaccia, the chicken liver mousse (a must with the focaccia), and absolutely do not skip the coulotte steak—perfectly cooked, deeply flavorful, and so tender it practically melts. Final tip: don’t go just once or twice. The menu is intentionally seasonal, so there’s always something new to come back for.

Lula -you are awesome! I had been looking forward to a visit for quite a while, I read some reviews- most raved about the focaccia, I wondered could it be that good? It was!!! I could have happily eaten only the focaccia and mussels for starter and main it was soooo good. However I progressed to the delicious steak main which was full of so much flavour - I can still taste it. By the time we got to desert I could only manage the lemon meringue, again mouth watering.... Lula, you did not disappoint, the friendly atmosphere, the attentive knowledgable staff and a total cullinary delight......

Great place. Visited with my wife for our anniversary in November and our server, Diana, was great and attentive. All of her food recommendations were tasty and she ensured we had a great night. We plan going back again with some of our friends.

There's a reason why Lula's is packed every Friday and Saturday night--it's simply fabulous in every way. First, the staff was divine; sweet, friendly, and genuine, without smothering. Our waitress gave us a primer on most of the dishes, truly helpful in making difficult ordering decisions. This helped us decide on Paperdelle Bolognese and Ricotta Truffle Gnochi, and let it suffice when I say, that there were no regrets. I could go on and on, but I'll leave it at this-the food is fire.
So how did we get in on a packed Saturday night, you may ask? In the afternoon, Open Table said Lula's was packed, so we called and there was no answer (they don't open 'til 5PM). We were nearby and knocked on the door at 4:30PM, and they were so nice to let us in, share some warm conversation, and offered a high top for an 8PM reservation.
We can't offer enough praise, so let's just say that Lula's is a lulu!

Had a very nice dinner at Lula in Ridgewood. Staff were very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Ambiance was cozy (ceiling was low), looked clean, and not cluttered. They don’t have drinks with alcohol but they have a local tie up with a nearby liquor store where you can order and they will get it. It’s BYOB and we brought our own wine and ordered an Italian soda which was very good. All of the food that we ordered were delicious. We had the focaccia, burrata, apple kohlrabi salad, and kale salad to start. Then halibut, pappardelle, and pork chop as mains (the pork chop was huge!). Then for dessert we had the meringue tart and chocolate mousse. Spent about $280 for a party of four and left >20% gratuity. Highly recommended.

Amazing. Love this place. Love the food. We’ve been here 2xs and will keep coming back. The service is exceptional.
BYOB, although they have wine shop they work with to bring the bottle for you. Overall a nice place for dinner, booked in advance via resy as it is quite popular.

The Perfect Italian Meal at @lula_nj
A true feast for the senses.
First up the salad. Where veggies were such a delight (gotta now learn how to cook kohlrabi as it’s available in abundance in my city!) & that Lobster 😋
Then the lobster pasta & grilled Salmon.
Finishing off with the chocolate mousse. The balance of textures made it simply outstanding.
What was most appreciated was the effort to get a veg pasta for my brother in law.
Superb service by Mood (Mahmood) added to our evening.

Review for Lula – Ridgewood, NJ
Lula is such a great addition to Ridgewood. The space is modern and cozy, giving it a relaxed but elevated feel, and I love that it’s BYOB.
We started with the focaccia and kale salad — both were excellent. The focaccia was warm and flavorful, and the salad was bright and perfectly balanced with anchovy aioli, grapes, and pine nuts. The hamachi crudo was another standout, with a charred pineapple broth that really made the flavors pop.
For mains, we had the Atlantic halibut with cockles, the rigatoni with pork ragu, and the coulotte steak. Each one was beautifully done — the fish was delicate and fresh, the pasta was rich and comforting with whipped ricotta and Parmigiano, and the steak came with pomme purée and crispy sunchoke chips that tied the whole dish together.
Service was attentive and welcoming, and the whole evening felt special without being overly formal. Lula is absolutely worth visiting — thoughtful food, a beautiful atmosphere, and one of those places you immediately want to come back to.

One of the most memorable and phenomenal meals ever. The food left me speechless it was so good! Amazing flavor profiles and the way it’s plated is so artful. The service was high quality and the atmosphere was elegant and inspiring down to every little detail. Definitely highly recommend and will be going lots!!
