Ridge Italian Comfort Food — Restaurant in Bernards Township

I've lived here for 30 years, and this was our first time at Ridge. My group of six arrived at 2:30, and we were the only diners. People did come and go for take-out. We were served the best warm bread I've had in a long time--crusty on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. I believe the owner was our server, and he was very accommodating. The food was delicious! We brought some wine and were given wine glasses. This is what we ordered:

Mozzarella sticks - Good and typical of what you would usually have. Meatballs - I loved them. Good flavor and delicious marinara Pesto Chicken Panini - Excellent Sausage Parmesan sandwich - My husband didn't think it was anything special, but the bread was great Bucatini Amatriciana: Pasta with Italian bacon and onions in a fresh tomato sauce. It was mildly spicy and flavorful, and the portion was good. The kids split a Margarita pizza with fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, fresh tomato sauce, and basil. Delicious

Overall, we enjoyed the food. We have no complaints and are glad we chose...

Ridge, what's going on!!! I have been ordering from you for 18+ years and your quality has gone to crap! A few days ago I ordered a Veal Picatta dinner served over the picatta sauce and it was the most vile disgusting thing I ever had. The Veal was so leathery and slimy that it was inedible not to mention the sauce and pasta it was served over. Today I ordered a simple Pizza with half plain and half sausage and pepperoni and was delivered half pla8n and half mushrooms. These are only a few issues with service over the past year. You now have a monopoly on Pizza and Italian food delivery in Basking Ridge and I think you should work hard to keep what ever business you have or you will also fall to the fate of every other...

I stopped in during peak COVID-19 season in April and I'm happy to report the staff was adhering to mask policies and social distancing requirements. I went with a slice of plain and a slice of the Margherita pizza. The plain had a crispy thin base. The sauce and cheese were both quite good. The crust was also nice and fluffy. The Margherita is decent. The cheese is alright and the sauce is nothing special. This slice would have benefitted from a more robust, rich sauce. Overall, the pizza is pretty good. -@BoroPizzaHunter...
