Every dish we tried was excellent!
Perfectly seasoned and presented.
And it’s always a pleasure when the chef-owner personally greets your table.
Grazie Massimo!

Absolutely LOVED Sola Osteria. It was quiet when we first arrived but then picked up and was busy. The owner came over to each table and welcomed everyone and took the orders. What a gem. He was great, his recommendations were spot on and the food was excellent. I felt it was NYC quality and service but in Ridgewood. Perfect addition to Ridgewood and the area. A must try and we will definitely go back.
Exceptional Italian in a charming setting. BYOB is great but also some wine selections as well. Short rib was fork tender with deeply flavored sauce. Fish was moist and not dry. Unique variation of minstone, 7 veg and squash forward and not overpowered by broth. Parking deck a step away
