From Scratch

Make reservations !! FOOD awesome..byob.. we just had water !! Cold fresh water !!! Bread fresh and tasty. staff great. I said..bless the cook. Boom the chef is the owner.. friendly atmosphere... did you watch the series (The Bear) This food is better and cheaper LOL. Apps great and i had Lasagnua (sp)

Let me just say, wow! I ordered the gricia, a pasta dish with cacio e Pepe sauce and guanciale on top and it blew me away! The ambience was quiet and warm, and you felt like you were the only ones there which is great for a date. The service was that of a Michelin star restaurant. They gave us bread and oil in the beginning which was a nice touch. They also went ahead and put flowers on our table which made my date super happy. Overall, I’m very impressed with this place. There are true authentic Italian dishes here and it took me back to when I was in Rome eating cacio e Pepe. Does not compare to these other restaurants that claim they are “authentic Italian.” Highly recommend.
(Ps all dishes and recipes are homemade by the chef and owner)

Very wonderful place. Pasta was outstanding. Owners are from Rome - so they know how to do it right. The only reason that this didn't get 5 stars from me is that for an upscale Italian place like this, I would expect bread to be served prior to the meal. Otherwise it was perfect!

Incredible Italian food. High quality and made "from scratch", fresh. Very friendly service. We had a mushroom gnocci dish and a Carbonara. We were both full but not "heavy". Nutella pie is delicious. Make sure to make a reservation on the weekend. They do not serve wine, but you can byo. Great date night spot.

Attenzione! Freshest pasta I have ever had outside of Italy! Let’s start from the the spotless interiors with open kitchen concept, but let’s face it, the star here is Chef Claudia’s food. This humble, unassuming eatery serves up the most mouthwatering, fresh and transcending Italian dishes, that it sets the bar head and shoulders above the norm. Everything pictured was outstanding! From the focaccia di recca con speck, tonnarelli cacio e pepe and the delicious ricotta Nutella pie, a “Must have” topped off with two heart shortbread cookies from Chef Claudia herself. You could taste in every dish prepared the love and passion put into it. Lastly, the service was warm, genuine and attentive. DO NOT PASS From Scratch up. Note to bring your own wine as only Italian soft drinks are served. Make it next on your list, I know I’ll definitely be back and soon.

The food here is incredible. The care and creativity which Claudia takes in her creations is genuine and masterful. Her and her husband, Roberto, are truly dedicated artisans. The menu rotates often to keep the selection new and adventurous. Claudia uses a wide variety of ingredients, many of which you may have never had. The staff is impeccable in their knowledge of the dishes and their presentation of the service. If there is ANYWHERE in the North Jersey area you go to eat, go here. You must make reservations, so don’t forget to plan ahead and bring a bottle of wine with you. Thank you Claudia, Roberto and all the staff at From Scratch!

Cute little Italian spot, we came across while visiting one of our favorite dessert places a few doors away. The food had great flavor, seems they change the menu weekly, which is great to keep a nice variety and it's a BYOB, which is fantastic. Their was only 1 waitress, which is understandable since it's a very small location, but she would seem rushed or flustered at times to stay on top of everything. Everyone was very friendly! The only issue I had was that the salmon was supposed to be served with a SIDE of mashed, it was more like a garnish. When you looked under the salmon, there were no potatoes. When we asked for more, we were told they were all out, so we asked for them to accommodate a different side, which they did but then charged $8 for it even though they didn't give an actual side. Overall, I would def eat there again.
