Best Waterfront Restaurants in Ridgewood

Our server was a very kind lady and on top of our tables. Very sweet. Amazing food and the view is spectacular. One of my favorites restaurants in NYC.

We were looking for a new place that had great food, service and ambiance. Maiella hit a home run on all three. The menu has so many great options to choose from. The table-side cacio e pepe was one of the best we’ve had. It’s a nice add to have it made right at your table. We had chicken parm and branzino and both were equally delicious. They come with either a side of pasta or vegetables. For desert we had cheesecake and Affogato. This just sealed the deal for for an already amazing meal. Additionally, I am very big on customer service and they make sure they deliver in this area. Anthony , the manager, is a really nice guy. Stopped at our table to ensure everything met our expectations. He shared some stories with us about the restaurant and food. He makes sure all your expectations are met (even exceeded) and what sets this place apart from other restaurants in the area. We look forward to Maiella being a regular place for us and can’t wait to go back and try some other dishes. Lastly, the the ambiance with the views of NYC make this a place you won’t mind sitting for an hour or two. If you haven’t already, definitely try this gem.

My sister and I are having a Girl's Weekend and we came here for brunch. We reserved an igloo and it was so adorable, heated nicely, and such a nice space. The only thing I would comment negatively on was the music--so loud. The host stand was amazing and Adam, our server, was fantastic. It'a a beautiful space with a great menu. We had a wonderful time.

My husband and I had a great experience here! The food and ambiance was amazing! This is a perfect date night spot!

Always such a pleasure to have brunch of Xolo. We will return — as we always have!
