13 Best Italian Restaurants in Ridgewood

“Delicious and such incredibly warm service!! Our first time here and will be back. Big winners were the tortelloni — big luscious pillowy bites — and the gramigna, a total crowd pleaser. Also enjoyed every one of our cocktails. Thank you Gigante team!!“

“Finally made it to Salvo’s and it did not disappoint. Serving some truly delicious sandwiches- we shared the mortadella with burrata/pistachio pesto and the eggplant parm. Hands down the best eggplant parm I’ve ever had. Such a beautifully curated space, feels special but not pretentious. You could tell everything was made with the freshest/high quality ingredients and the utmost care. Can’t wait to go back!“

“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“

“The vegan food options are off the hook good. Had a Sicilian slice, mozza sticks, a chicken Parm and pizza roll. My God. Bless these humans for providing vegans some hearty, honey food! Will definitely be back again and again to try more!

A+++++ to the sauce!“

“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“

“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.“

“The Best Pizza and Hero’s!! 👍🏻👍🏻“

“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 🍕“
