    a bowl of steamed mussels
    Nehal A.

    We picked Albert's for a weekend lunch. Very nice restaurant in a very nice town. We were lucky to get a table right away around noon. The staff were super friendly amd welcoming. They have their own bakery at the entrance. The menu has a combination of appetizers, pasta sandwiches and pizzas. We got the mussels which was the best dish we had. Very well cooked and served in a tasty citrus broth. We got the margherita pizza which was not very tasty. I failed to see any mozzarella in it. The pasta was okay. I ordered the special sandwich too, which in the menu said sliced flat iron steak, but in the sandwich they were chunky rectangular pieces. The problem was when I took a bite, the whole chunk came out in one bite and rest of the sandwich became meatless. So I'd have really liked if the steak was actually sliced in thin layers, or be in much smaller cubes. But overall the sandwich had good taste. We were also charged for soup of the day that we never ordered. Lucky I noticed before leaving the restaurant. The staff were flexible to allow me to take some bakery items for the incorrect charge. I actually liked their bakery goods, the coconut macaroon and chocolate lollipops were actually good. Overall a nice restaurant but it's few towns away from us, probably we won't be anytime soon.

    Great service. Very attentive staff. Nice and good seating. Clean. Street parking. I like the pizza and mussels. I feel Penne alla Vodka needs a little bit more seasoning. Zucchini is too thin to be fried. All I taste is oil. But overall it's not bad.

    Eggplant Parmesan sandwich with fries
    Shelby A.

    One of my absolute favorite spots to eat at! Whether for a quick bite to eat with friends, weekend brunch, or a nice date night Alberts will not leave you disappointed. The food is always phenomenal I have never had a meal I did not enjoy here. I recommend the penne vodka. It is so flavorful and filling youll be happy to have leftovers to bring home. The zucchini fritti appetizer is a must have for a nice snack before your meal. Today I popped in for a quick lunch with a coworker and ordered the broccoli cheddar soup and eggplant Parmesan sandwich with fries. The broccoli cheddar I have never had before and is delicious and perfect for a cold winter day and it wasn't too heavy. The eggplant was delicious and filling as always. I brought home the other half to eat for dinner. The fries are my favorite part as they are crispy, have the perfect amount of sea salt, and still have the skin on. My friend ordered the cheese steak sandwich and could not get over how great it was and how he grew up in the area and never tried Albert's. Safe to say he has a new favorite spot! Service is exceptional here. The staff are friendly and so efficient even when the restaurant is packed. In the warmer months it is great to dine outside here for lunch and brunch on the weekends.

    Seafood Fra Diavolo

    Fast friendly service. Ordered Pescatore Fra Diavolo $37.00. Dessert home made Hostess cupcake. Food was very good . Alittle pricy for what you get . But its the signs of the times. Good place to go for a special occasion not a regular place to eat.

    Artichoke Fritti
    Cortney H.

    Went here with a friend on a Friday night--place was slammed! Immediately smelt so yummy as we walked in. We decided to split the Fried Artichoke appetizer, the Margherita Pizza and the Wild Mushroom Truffle Risotto. The artichokes were lightly fried and tender, the pizza was very good as well, slightly sweeter sauce which complimented the crispy crust nicely. The winner of the meal was the risotto...wow. So tasty, not too much truffle and a good amount of mushroom. It was rich but not too heavy, perfect amount of food to share. I would definitely come back here. My only complaints were how loud the place was, but on a busy Friday night, understandable and the service was not amazing. We waited awhile after we were seated for someone to come over and no one checked in while we were eating. But like I said, everything else was great and I'd go back!

    I cannot say enough, good things about this restaurant. It completely exceeded all of me and my…read morehusband's expectations both in food, service and atmosphere. The hospitality was incredible. We went there for my birthday. All the staff knew it was my birthday and they also knew that I was eight months pregnant and wanted to make sure that I was comfortable. The food was exceptional. The wait staff was so nice and provided recommendations while not pushing any one dish. We got the focaccia, softshell crab, Peking duck and chicken liver for appetizers. The softshell crab was the best I've ever had, and I would come back to this restaurant for this alone. The Peking duck was juicy and tender with the most incredible slaw type salad underneath it. The focaccia with the butter was also phenomenal, the owner actually brought it out to us and we had a nice conversation with him and you can tell he just poured his heart and soul into this restaurant. The focaccia is definitely not an appetizer to be overlooked just because it is bread. While I couldn't have any of the chicken liver mousse, it looked stunning, and my husband said that it was incredible and so light and fluffy, and it was a massive portion. I look forward to when we come back when I'm not pregnant and I can eat it. For dinner I got the Arctic char, and my husband got the pork. The Arctic char was unbelievable. It was piping hot and literally just melted in my mouth with each bite and the side that came with it was a mix of asparagus, mushrooms, farro and I don't know what else, but it was fantastic if I could have that side on its own as well, I would order more. My husband's pork was crispy and delicious with another incredible slaw topping, and it was so massive he has to take home like a third of it for dessert. We had the lemon meringue tart for dessert, which was also incredible and so refreshing for a dessert. All of the food was outrageously fresh and just outstanding. This restaurant is our new favorite place and on the way out we even made a reservation for three weeks from now to come back. This is probably the best restaurant that I've eaten at in Ridgewood hands down and I'm so glad that they are in the area. The restaurant adds a new vibe with food that is so phenomenal to match. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area as a MUST try. Of course me and my husband will be going back in a few weeks and we can't wait.

I said I was going to share it with a friend but after one bite I…read moretold her she was SOL bc I was no longer willing to share it and wanted to keep it all myself. I don't even know what it was served over but it was some kind of shredded veg and covered in a delicious light savory sauce with a hint of sweetness which I just learned was from a "sweet drop pepper" garnish. I wish there were more of these cute little red gems! It was the first time anyone at our table saw them. It reminded me slightly of a slightly smoky ripe cherry tomato. Delicious!! I ate the almost the entire dish and ordered a side of truffle mashed potatoes. I was very satisfied with my main entree and the black truffle mashed were also delicious even though the chef didn't know what region they were from. (A truffle hunter told us to always ask the chef what region they are from to ensure they are authentic and not oil or fake lab grown because they have to certify the region they came from before exporting them.) TMI I know but if you're a foodie you might appreciate this knowledge. For appetizer, the table ordered the filet ravioli....I liked the Brown sauce and greenery it was served with but wish they included more green beans. The meat was cut in large pieces inside the ravioli and was very tender. It was unique. Save some bread for the sauce. Hub had the dry aged steak and thought it was too thin and meh for the price. He's picky AF so that that with a grain of salt. I think he was expecting the meat to be like Cafe panache or a steak house and it was not so he won't get that again. I didn't try it and I saw him get it down to the bone so I think he enjoyed it anyway. Dessert was a delish apple tart that was on fire with vanilla ice cream and garnished with delicious berries. There were a few chewy spots from the topping but I would absolutely get this again. The filling was perfect with sautéd apples with cinnamon. Be careful when taking your first bite!!! It's hot from the oven! Hub burnt his mouth. Regarding the service there are opportunities. First, it was extremely challenging to get a glass of water. Second, the first waiter forgot half the specials (but to be fair I forgot too because they were super complex and I can't even remember after eating it!!) The second waitress said all the specials and placed our order. I asked her for tap water that never came...asked again and after 30 min I asked again and this time a bottle of water came that was not tap water. Fine. I didn't send it back because I was so thirsty. This water ran out and then i finally got the tap water bottle from the guy but I could def taste the difference. If I come back again I'll will get the bottled water because something tasted off with the tap water. I wanted to ask for lemon to make it palatable but felt like I was being annoying because they were busy and it was impossible to get another refill. But it was getting late and they started clanking the silverware and turning up the lights and I'm sure everyone wanted to go home so that's fair. There was an amazing server that took the time to take multiple pictures of our group. He even stood on a chair to ensure we got a good shot. I appreciated this extra effort. For ambiance it's a nice place to go on a date or with a small group it kinda gave me NYC vibes as a nice lively atmosphere but it does get noisy and it can be hard to hear. I would have liked to hear the light French background music over the noise because you can hear it well in the restroom. Overall a lovely dining experience in NJ.

The restaurant is very pretty overall, though the interior is quite dim, making it difficult to read the menu without additional light. The tables were also placed fairly close together.

The tuna tataki was flavorful; however, the taro chips were very thin and tended to break easily when holding the tuna. For our main courses, we ordered the Icelandic cod, rigatoni, Freebird chicken, and a side of whipped potatoes. Dessert was the hazelnut chocolate crunch, which was a nice way to end the meal. Overall, the food was enjoyable. That said, the pricing felt more in line with a fine dining experience, while the atmosphere and service were closer to an upscale casual restaurant. Some small details, such as the whipped potatoes being served without a serving spoon, stood out. While minor, these details can make a difference, especially at this price point.

We stopped in mid-week for a family dinner after work and even on a Wednesday the place was buzzing. The restaurant itself is pretty tiny, which makes for a cozy atmosphere but also means tables are very close together. If you can, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. The menu is somewhat minimal, but the food overall was good. I eat gluten-free and noticed the options were a bit limited, which made ordering slightly challenging. I ended up going with the sea scallops. They were nicely cooked, but the portion was smaller than I expected--five small scallops with some vegetables. For the price, I do wish the portion had been a bit more generous. I have to admit I left still a little hungry. My dad ordered the short rib grilled cheese and really enjoyed it. That was probably the standout dish at our table. My sister ordered the honey bourbon chicken and said it was okay, but afterward she mentioned she probably should have gone with the short rib grilled cheese instead. One surprise of the night was live music on a Wednesday. I usually enjoy live music, but since we were hoping to catch up as a family it made conversation a little difficult. The music was fairly loud for such a small space. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. They also have a rewards program, which worked out nicely--my dad received a complimentary dessert for his birthday. I ordered the crème brûlée, which was a great way to end the meal. A couple practical tips: parking in Ridgewood can be tricky. The restaurant advertises valet parking, though we didn't use or see it during our visit. If you find street parking, make sure to feed the meter because the town is known for giving out tickets. In warmer months they do offer some outdoor sidewalk seating, though it looks fairly limited. It also appears they have a happy hour, though we didn't arrive in time to try it. Overall, I'd recommend checking out Steel Wheel Tavern--just be mindful of the timing of your visit, especially if you're hoping for a quieter dinner.

The wine is sold in half or whole bottles (not glasses), so I opted out this time. The menu is a mix of traditional Spanish tapas as well as American and Latin American mixed in. Our original Resy was canceled due to a change in business hours, so we were offered a complimentary dessert. We tried the cheesesteak empanadas, croquettes, bbq pulled pork arepa, garlic shrimp, octopus, short rib gnocchi and finished with tres leches cake. My favorites were the octopus, shrimp, gnocchi, empanada, and tres leches cake. Croquettes were the least favorite, just not exciting, and they were kind of smashed. The octopus was very tender and enjoyed the sauce and sundried tomatoes that came with it. Everything came out at the right temperature and at a good pace to not overwhelm the table with dishes. The restaurant is dimly lit. I found the booth backs to be very hard and uncomfortable - could use an upgrade. Prices per dish are high for the size, but to be expected with tapas in the states. There are a lot of choices so there's something for everyone.
