Lovely upscale, romantic French restaurant at the end of Ridgewood Ave. with a small municipal parking lot adjacent to it. The food quality is exceptional having been prepared by Chef/ Owner, Michael Latour who is a cut above the average chef. This is a BYO restaurant decorated primarily in white shades.

Rocca was hose not for a friends' night out because we actually wanted to have a conversation and unlike some other local Italian restaurants, this isn't too noisy. It's a pleasant dining room, with tables far enough apart for privacy. The menu is interesting. I ordered the cornmeal crusted calamari and hot peppers with a ramekin of hot tomato sauce as a starter it was very nice. My friend had the unusual fired artichoke and olive salad which she really enjoyed. Other salads were ordered as well. For a main course, I ordered the daily special, which was Chicken Marsala, served with mushrooms in the sauce, and mashed potato. The chicken was tender and the potato was good, however the sauce was extremely salty. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I had hoped.
The four of us shared two desserts; the ricotta fritters with raspberry sauce and the mini cannoli. They were both very good but I would say that the ricotta fritters were unexpectedly exceptional.
This restaurant is a BYO, so we brought a few bottles of wine which were graciously opened for us and left to enjoy in a variety of stemware. This always helps the budget, so our meal ended up costing $169 including tip, for four diners. We had a very nice evening. By 9:30pm though. The restaurant was completely empty of customers besides our table. The staff began to set tables for the next day and eventually made it clear that they wanted to close up. We had been there for 2 1/2 hours so I can't say that we were rushed out, but as we were enjoying our evening so much and it wasn't very late, I would have preferred not to have to leave before we wanted to.

This bakery is great solo, friends, family and what I usually do, take home! Sook has the most incredible baked goods that were ever created in Bergen county. She is the most gifted pastry chef. Their almonds croissants are incredible as is everything else she creates! Oh, and BTW, the coffee is awesome also.

First time at this byob restaurant. We found street parking but you can also park across the street at the church. We started with the stuffed artichoke which was good and under ten dollars. For entrees my niece had red snapper and I had the seafood special with pasta in a pink sauce. Both were very good. They bring a plate of dessert samples to choose from and they all looked good. I can't remember the name of the dessert I chose but it was good.

PHENOMENOL! This is THE BEST ice cream we have had in New Jersey. This is a truly homemade shop where the ice cream in made in small batches and high quality ingredients are used. He doesn't pump air into the product therefore making each bite creamy and smooth, the way ice cream should be. I grew up on van dykes and cannot believe I'm only now discovering this savory gem! We sampled many flavors today and will go back when we have a cooler. But the honey lavender was ethereal if you like that sort of thing. He makes a dairy free chocolate ice that is smooth and delicious. The mint ice cream was white so NO artificial green dye, which I appreciate since my son likes that. He gets creative with Hot Blonde (chunks of blondie with a hint of cayenne, very fun). Lemon basil that tastes like summer. And if you aren't adventurous his cookie dough is delicious.
STOP READING THIS AND GO THERE NOW. I'll never go to van dykes again.

While wandering through town while waiting for a business meeting to start in Ridgewood, I stopped by for a coffee and a chat at this friendly neighborhood center. At one time, a nearby grocery store was town center -- now Starbucks seems to be at least a competitor.
It is also somewhat unusual because it is located in part of what was once a filling station in the center of town; now it shares the space with a jewelry store.
Food and drink is standard; cleanliness is excellent; the restrooms do not need a code to get in; and the staff is friendly and efficient. WIFI worked fine as well.

Came to this restaurant on a Monday night based on reviews from friends and on TripAdvisor.
Very disappointed. Very expensive for mediocre food. Also, seems they are in a rush to serve you your meals and to clean the table.
No ambiance either.
Will not be going back here again.

Really enjoy their Friday deal on a take out Shabbat dinner. You get a fancy challah, chicken, soup and 2 sides with the package priced under 30$. Add a second chicken for about $15.
Always fresh and tasty.
I often bring to a relative in NYC.

We've been here before and were sorely disappointed on our most recent visit. The service was very slow (to the point where it seemed they were short staffed) and the food was average at best. The paella was not good, the char was substandard and the lamb shank lacked flavor. Perhaps the tapas are the way to go here but for these prices I will be going elsewhere. #epicrestaurantfail
10. Van Dyke Ice Cream

Reviewed By LWL3333 - Ridgewood, New Jersey
Tonight after dinner we went to Van Dyke's and got on line with oldsters and teens and families and singles to get some of the best ice cream we have found in more than 40 years of living in Northern New Jersey. I had strawberry chocolate chip with chocolate sprinkles, and my wife had capacino chocolate chip with chocolate sprinkles, As always we both loved our choices. We have probably seen several hundred young teens pass through the Van Dyke's hand serving of ice cream in cones and cups behind the counter. We love this place, even if it is a bit dated and hasn't changed since we first started going there in the '70's. the choice of flavors available here is huge and delicious.
