Local Love
We are all about community and supporting our neighbors & local businesses. In a society where many are likely to conform to similar ideas and ways of life, we like to support these one-of-a-kind businesses. Our world is full of large companies that offer basically the same options. The small businesses in our community provide unique and special products/skills. We bring our own personal experiences, skills and creativity to our products and respect the others in our community that do the same. It is an easy way to show that we care about the community we live in. Along with the product diversity there is also the importance of the environmental and economical benefits that small local business provide.

"At it's very essence, Janice is a restaurant where people go to connect. What we strive to create the most in our Bistro is a warm, inviting atmosphere, celebrated traditional Italian-American cuisine, and delectable desserts are merely a setting for which you can make a connection to the people around you.

Our go-to spot for when we are craving sushi, which is always. The sushi is always so fresh, you can even watch the chef make your rolls just for you.
Stella 18 E Ridgewood Ave, Ridgewood, NJ 07450
"Owners Rocco and Tim pay tribute to their mothers, both Stella. The Italian mother is the heart of the home and the soul of the kitchen. "Stella" was conceived to offer this same heart and soul through artisan Italian offerings made by hand and served with love. While the cuisine is elevated through professional technique, the flavors and aromas remain reminiscent of mom's Italian kitchen... always warmed by true hospitality and shared with and among people we love."
The perfect date night spot. After a long week nothing tastes better than the homemade pasta dishes and a glass of wine. Their other restaurant in Ridgewood, where you go for out of this world real Italian pizza is called S. Egidio.
