Antica Trattoria (Fresh Pond Rd) This is a great old-fashioned Italian spot that feels like a real neighborhood trattoria, not a trendy “Instagram” place. The vibe is classic and cozy, with that old-school, dim-lit dining room energy where you can actually relax and enjoy the meal. Food is consistently delicious and tastes homemade. They start you off with bread, and everything we tried was the kind of comforting Italian you want: rich pastas, solid pizza, and really good appetizers. Highlight
Antica Trattoria has been my favorite spot for the past two years. It's truly a hidden gem in the heart of Ridgewood and one I highly recommend -They offer a wonderful variety of traditional Italian dishes, all cooked to perfection – always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Every dish is full of authentic taste and love. 🇮🇹👨🍳🍳❤️😋 The customer service is outstanding! From the moment you walk in, you're treated like family. The staff is incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming,
This is about my 5th visit to this establishment, and this is my first review. I, and my party, have loved the food every time without ever having a complaint on. Portions, taste and selection are all A+ here. My only issue with this amazing restaurant is the fact that it gets so loud that you have to do a little screaming of your own to get a conversation to work. If only they would put a limit on noise so that it could be a little more enjoyable, that would be great. But, outside of that
