Antica Trattoria

I just had the most incredible dining experience at Antica Trattoria in Ridgewood, and I'm still reeling from the deliciousness. This traditional Italian cuisine spot has totally won me over with its modern and welcoming ambiance - it's the perfect blend of old-school charm and contemporary flair. The price range is moderate, which is totally reasonable considering the generous portions and top-notch quality of the dishes. The real star of the show, though, is the homemade pasta. I mean, can you think of anything better than a plate of freshly made fettuccine or orecchiette? We had their Fettuccine Alfredo and orecchiette with broccoli rabe and polpette, are absolute must-trys. The pasta is super fresh, delicious, and cooked to perfection. The service quality is wonderful, too - the staff is friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about the food they're serving. What really sets Antica Trattoria apart, though, is the love and care that goes into making their pasta from scratch. You can taste the difference in every bite. Whether you're a pasta aficionado or just a foodie looking for a great meal, this place is an absolute gem. So, if you're in the area, do yourself a favor and swing by - your taste buds will thank you!

I call this place my hidden gem. Been coming here for over 20 years and it never disappoints. Food is always delicious and the staff make you feel like family. Not to mention the bonus of them not being overpriced. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. Always great! They don’t list below the dishes I recommend. But I highly recommend all of them.

If you're craving for italian food in Queens look no further than Antica Trattoria on Fresh Pond Road in Ridgewood. There is not one thing that we did not like. The food, most important element, was excellent, we all ordered daily specials: two different pasta dishes and chicken w/cantaloupe plus pizza and calamari for all of us to share. Everything was fresh, very tastefull and given to us in a timely manner. Waiting time for pizza: 10-12 minutes. An order of calamari was already on the table before we even finished pizza. Then, 10 minutes later all four of us received our main dishes at the same time. They have a nice choice of wine, beer and soda, too. We just ordered sangrias. Great experience. Highly recommended. @@@

We couldn’t have had a better experience here. We called less than 90 minutes ahead of our reservation time, and they accommodated us with no problems. They even readjusted their table setup so the 4 of us could sit together. The food was terrific for the price, and the service was excellent. Getting quality Italian food for under $20/entree feels almost unheard of these days. The drinks were very good as well, especially the white wine sangria. We will definitely be back soon!

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, which makes every visit even more special

This place has amazing food and such a welcoming atmosphere. The people here are incredibly friendly, and it always feels good to eat there—it’s the kind of spot that makes you feel at home. The service is consistently great, and you can tell they really care about what they do. I’m so glad to have a place this good so close to my apartment. It’s quickly become one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood

The service was excellent. Manager went out of his way to make sure we were happy. The fresh pasta seafood special was amazing. Lemon cake dessert with raspberry sauce was incredible. Highly recommend.

When we got there, we didn’t have any reservation and they were packed. We were a large group, but were so kind to accommodate us. The service was topnotch. Food was delicious. We had a bunch of appetizers to begin with: fried calamari, seafood salad, pizza, etc. and everything tested fresh. For main dish, linguine with seafood was the winner. Highly recommended. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is perfect for families and big groups.
