A Slice of Italy in Ridgewood
At From Scratch, we believe in the beauty of authentic, homemade food and the power of sharing meals made with love. Founded by Chef Claudia Rovegno in 2014, our restaurant began as a way to bring the rich, fresh flavors of Italy to families through online orders. Chef Claudia, a Rome native, brought her passion for Italian cuisine with her when she moved to the United States, and she dreamed of creating a place where everyone could taste the love and tradition of Italy.
Our Culinary Roots 🍷
Our menu is rooted in the flavors of Italy, featuring dishes that are close to Chef Claudia’s heart, like fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, and rich, flavorful sauces. We use only the finest ingredients, and everything is made from scratch. Chef Claudia’s goal is to give you the experience of a true Italian meal, right in the heart of Ridgewood, NJ.
