Best Casual Restaurants in Hawthorne

This was our 3rd time coming to Stella. The Food is delicious and always consistent. Prices are reasonable, love that it’s a byob.

Noice level very good, not bad . Different rooms and they will accommodate. Was very impressed!

Right from the start our waiter Richard, our waiter was friendly, knowledgable, and fun! Appetizer melted mozzarella with Calabrian peppers was outstanding. We licked the bowl clean. Our party loved the 4 different mains. Portion size more than enough. Sadly, no room for dessert. We most certainly will be back.

You need to be a detective to find an entry for this restaurant (we called to clarify:) - it deserves its name! But what a great dinner spot it was for all of us (2 couples). We decided on tapas items: all were delicious and prepared with knowledge and care. Please go, you won’t be sorry!

Great experience. Food excellent. Reserved the private round table tucked in back of restaurant for 3 couples. Food was excellent everyone loved their choices. Service was good. One thing that was odd was that when we got there all the glasses and plates were upside down rims touching table. We are germaphobes so we wiped down our glasses. Also when server brought the Pellagrino she just plopped it on table not opened, no ice, no lemon. Typically a restaurant will bring it with glasses filled with ice and lemon/lime wedges. Despite these minor oversights, I do recommend this very good restaurant in the heart of Ridgewood.
