When I sit down for a meal at From Scratch, I am transported to Claudia’s kitchen, where every dish feels as if it were conceived just for me and my table. We are welcomed as guests of the family, and we eat as such as often as we can. Whether it’s the exceptional Liguria pasta featuring her grandmother’s signature pesto recipe, the rich and silky Carbonara, the light and crispy Pinsa, the always satisfying seasonal Dinner Special, or one of her light and delicious homemade dessert creations, I am left in awe of the level of flavor, integrity of ingredients, and degree of execution that each dish presents. You need not don your finest sports coat or your fanciest dress to enter; simply bring...

Cute little Italian spot, we came across while visiting one of our favorite dessert places a few doors away. The food had great flavor, seems they change the menu weekly, which is great to keep a nice variety and it's a BYOB, which is fantastic. Their was only 1 waitress, which is understandable since it's a very small location, but she would seem rushed or flustered at times to stay on top of everything. Everyone was very friendly! The only issue I had was that the salmon was supposed to be served with a SIDE of mashed, it was more like a garnish. When you looked under the salmon, there were no potatoes. When we asked for more, we were told they were all out, so we asked for them to accommo...
Had to ask for bread twice, any Italian restaurant shouldn't have to ask. We were brought four super small pieces of focaccia, laughable. Both the Carbonara and Amatriciana were salty! i love salt but this was almost inedible, not just mine but all of ussaid too much salt. Not sure if they over salted the water or pasta dough or went too heavy w the pecorino. I get the idea of aldente when dealing with fresh pasta but the pasta needed another minute or two in the water. Our entire party was disappointed.

Food was delicious, though my dish could have used a side vegetable. The salmon was cooked perfectly. Tiramisu was very good. Service was very attentive and excellent. The restaurant unfortunately was very very tiny and due to the layout wasn't very homey. For a restaurant with a price point of $230 dinner for 3 I'd expect table cloths. It was a very casual feel for such an expensive place. Would definitely recommend though.
If you are looking for Fettuccine Alfredo and chicken Parmesan this is not the place. Definitely a real and original Italian recipes food! Amazing service and the owners Roberto e Claudia very friendly and gentle. The best pasta alla carbonara that Iate here in America. If you want a real Italian food experience this is the right place. I really recommend this place for areal Italian experience.
Claudia is a gem. The food here is to die for and never disappoints. I highly recommend this place to everyone who asks for recommendations in Ridgewood. All of the pasta is wonderful and I can?t wait to go back again. I do miss their pinsa however Ihope one day it can come back because it was also incredible.
The menu is somewhat limited, focusing mainly on pasta dishes. It's a BYOB establishment, which is a nice touch. The server was very attentive, and the kitchen is open to customizing your dish to your liking. The dessert and coffee were excellent. I would definitely return!
