Due, Ridgewood Captures One of the year’s 10 best dishes in North Jersey restaurants

THE RECORD

Bucatini and turkey meatballs with braised pork ragu

Where: Due, Ridgewood (18 E. Ridgewood Ave.; 201-857-3231; dueridgewood.com)

I’ll admit it, I’m a sucker for spaghetti and meatballs. But this dish from executive chef Adam Weiss makes the classic even more deeply satisfying with a stick-to-your-ribs sauce flavored with wood-grilled pork, moist meatballs and luscious fresh ricotta ($25).

Chef Chris Tarta of Due and Bella Campagnia on the crazy thing diners ask for.

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.
