“ Consider starting with their cheese-topped onion soup. A nice salad next? Then you can't go wrong with any pasta dish. And for dessert, something special that you can't find very often--creme brulée. An Italian meal that is authentic without being ordinary. ”
“ My new favorite place Warm cozy "old school atmosphere" with fantastic food. Cozy and not musty. I had the pork chop scarpariello and it was FANTASTIC. Just the other balance of tang and heat makes this a winner Looking forward to returning within the week ”

“ We came here for happy hour and loved everything about it! The staff was very friendly and gave great recommendations. The space is warm and nicely decorated. We loved the truffle fries and the meatballs with grits. The bread is delicious! The bar has a nice variety of signature cocktails and wines. We loved the sidecar. We look forward to coming back for dinner sometime soon! ”
“ While we were in Ridgefield this past weekend, we had a fantastic lunch at the charming Barb Door restaurant! We absolutely loved the rustic vibes, and the menu has a great variety whether you're looking for pasta, burgers, pizza, seafood, and so much more! All of the ingredients are organic and locally-sourced, with many of the dishes having an Italian & Mediterranean influence. We have to commend the kitchen and wait staff on how quickly the food was prepared and their attentive service as well! When we were speaking with the owner and told him we ordered the Albanian pizza because it caught our eye, he went the extra mile and recommended that we add jalapeños as a topping. It was delicious, and we never would've thought to do that ourselves, so we were really appreciative! We couldn't have been happier with our experience here, and it's definitely a new favorite of ours in Ridgefield that I recommend checking out the next time you're in the area! ”
“ Such a great spot! We go for lunch occasionally and they always remember us. Wonderful service. Tuna burger is my go to, rare. I love that it comes with ginger, and amazing fries! Ambiance inviting, comfortable, tables well spaced. ”
“ I was really surprised when I walked in to this restaurant. The inside is so nice beautiful dining room with fireplace very nice bar area The French onion soup was wonderful. Nice crusty top and great onion soup. Pricing was about average and lots of variety on the menu . Service was very good Will definitely be back. Strongly recommend ”
“ Absolutely delicious fresh bread and chicken parmesan!!! Perfectly al dente fettuccine. Wonderful, attentive, friendly service despite the restaurant filling up as soon as we arrived. Cannot wait to return! Thanks! ”
“ Quaint restaurant right on Route 7. Has a nice rustic charm inside. Was busy on a Saturday evening around 8, but we were quickly seated. Drink menu was large and the La Vie En Rose cocktail was good. Loved the lemon spaghetti and finished it all (which is saying something because that rarely happens). Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Prices were fair as well. A good American restaurant when in Ridgefield! ”
“ This place is absolutely fantastic. It's a bit pricy, but it is very good. The ambiance is very nice. It has a nice upscale barn theme complete with horse pictures and a fire place. It is very cozy. There's also a separate bar room. The food is very good. Everything we had was fantastic. The bread they bring out is quite nice, and the special red sauce that they bring out with it is wonderful. The people are nice and the service is relatively fast. They do tend to get confused a lot though, so don't be afraid to ask for something again. The prices are a bit up there but not too insane. The pizza is the best way to go if you're trying to save money. It easily feeds 2-3 people and it is decently inexpensive. Everything else on the menu is probably $$ to $$$. Overall good experience. I'll be back ”
