13 Best Italian Restaurants in Ridgewood

“Had a fabulous first time at Il Gigante. Sat at the bar - shout out to Matthew and Kayla for taking such good care of us. Great ambience, not too loud, but still a fun atmosphere. Food was exceptional. The pasta and all the ingredients were fresh and portion sizes were hefty! Great price for the food and drinks. Just all around fabulous! Cheers!!!“

“So freaking good. Came here for the first time after watching the owners journey online. We got the mortadella sandwich and the Sicilian tuna—all divine. I’m gluten free and asked if they could put the tuna on a bed of greens and they did 10/10!! Would highly recommend. Also the staff was super helpful and accommodating.“

“I love the wait staff and the owner was extremely attentive to the patrons. I will definitely be back“

“This is the best food in queens“

“Vegan What?!! Omg i just tried this place today because they had vegan options, and I'm so glad i did!!! Absolutely delicious! I had Vegan Cheese Pizza and Vegan Pepperoni Roll.
The Vegan Cheese Pizza: yum, nice under carriage, melted cheese, sauce delish!
Vegan Pepperoni Roll:
This blew it out the park for me! This roll had me double take and check if it was vegan lol. Flavor was phenomenal in my opinion.
I def recommend this place especially because they cater to vegan and non vegans and full of Sabor!!!“

“I’ve gone here twice. Once right after my mother’s funeral and they were not only extremely welcoming but soooo thoughtful and sweet. Almost a month later my cousin and I went back and again they did not disappoint!!! Service food and drinks are all a 10 out of 10❤️ this will definitely be my stop whenever I’m in town“

“The Best Pizza and Hero’s!! 👍🏻👍🏻“

“Authentic NYC pizza that is always fresh and delicious! I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and the pizza has remained consistently delicious over the decades. The prices are great and what I appreciate above all else is that’s it’s really a staple of the community. A pizzeria like this with kind hearted owners provides a safe haven. Support local businesses ??

Vegetarian options: An assortment of vegetarian options.“

“Place been here forever. My kids really wanted ice cream while I was passing by I saw they had Gelato in the window so my kids wanted to try it. I wasn't expecting much but it was extremely good. My son said that was the best vanilla he ever had and so flavorful. Now he asks for it everyday. Also reasonably priced. I was very impressed. I got the hazelnut and biscotto it was sooooo good.“

“The food is absolutely delicious. I had the bleu cheese burger. The best I’ve ever had. No exaggeration. Can’t wait to go back.“

“My partner and I love getting sandwiches from here for lunch! They have a perfect amount of options and they all slap! But our favs are The Genovese and Polpette(meatball) sandwiches. We can’t recommend enough if you want an Italian sandwich. As well their desserts and pastries are yummy too.“

“Wonder has been one of our most consistent go-tos. Pickup is usually easy, the system works, the space is clean, and the food has honestly surprised me from day one. When they first opened, it felt like every order was dialed in, like the kitchen cared.

I’ve tried a ton of the menu and there are staples I keep coming back to: the salmon is always generously portioned and perfectly cooked, the sauces and capers are on point, and the broccolini is genuinely one of the best sides I’ve had anywhere - that char + acidity goes with everything. Even the simple stuff like fries and potatoes hit when they’re done right.

That’s why I’m leaving this review: lately I’ve had a stretch of 5-6 orders with small misses that didn’t used to happen - missing toppings, uneven pizzas, a pizza with a huge bubble, broccolini missing the lemon dressing, stuff like that. Not enough to stop ordering, but enough that it makes me stick to the “safe” items instead of exploring.

Still a big fan, still ordering regularly, just hoping the consistency snaps back to how it was because Wonder at its best is hard to beat.“

“Excellent service and great food love the pizza 🍕“
