THE RECORD

Like most executive chef/owners, Chris Tarta has a hectic schedule. But the 35-year-old father of two (with a third on the way) must juggle two restaurants, Bella Campania Ristorante in Hillsdale and Due in Ridgewood, which opened in June. Tarta, a new Wyckoff resident, admits to growing pains at Due (it received two out of four stars in this newspaper; Bella Campania received two and one-half in 2010), but says the problems are getting fixed. He recommends that you head to Bella Campania for a family dinner, while saving Due for a special occasion. Here, Tarta talks about his daily mozzarella-making, his grandmother and Swedish meatballs.
