From Ridgewood, for Ridgewood
Our Story
Nearly 10 years on Metropolitan Avenue
We're from Ridgewood, we live here, and we cook for our neighbors like family.
Italian with a modern twist
Our Food Philosophy
The menu has grown over the years, but the rule hasn’t changed: make it ourselves, and make it the way we’d make it for our own family. Our Neapolitan-style pizza starts with dough we age for three days. The marinara is made from scratch. The meatballs come from our secret recipe, and the Caesar dressing is a secret family recipe we make fresh every day. Around that you’ll find craft burgers, wings, pastas and steaks, and a full mixology bar pouring craft cocktails.
Catering & private dining
Bring ECB to your party, or your party to ECB
We cater offices, parties and events of any size across Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan. And when you’d rather host, The Space Next Door, our private dining room right next to the restaurant, welcomes 30 to 80 guests with its own party menus, bar packages and a 150-inch video wall.
A neighborhood restaurant, turning 10
ECB opened on Metropolitan Avenue to be the kind of place we wanted in our own neighborhood: somewhere you can walk in for a drink, stay for dinner, and feel like you’re eating at a friend’s family table. Nearly 10 years later, a lot of our guests are neighbors we see every week, and the ones who find us for the first time usually call us a hidden gem.
We’re on the Ridgewood and Maspeth border at 53-21 Metropolitan Ave, minutes from Knockdown Center, so we’re also the spot for dinner before a show and drinks after. Book a table on OpenTable, order takeout, or plan a private dinner with us.
