The best Italian restaurant in northern jersey hands down. I always believe statements like this deserve explanation to the individuals taste palette - I am an Italian Puerto Rican - married to a Middle Eastern man… we live for flavor. Excellent food.

Wonderful dinner. Like many other reviewers recommended, the 20 oz. pork chop is a standout and must-try. Options of well done or medium. Crisp piece of bacon garnish and fresh goat cheese crumbles. Creamy mashed potato and sweet, tangy grape balsamic vinegar sauce. Incredibly succulent and tender pork chop. A wonder that this cut could be that texture. Thanks to Emma for taking us through an enjoyable meal.

Delicious dinner in a cozy setting. So many birthday celebrations tonight, including my husband's. We couldn't stop dipping warm bread in the mussels verde sauce. The surf & turf special was decadent and worth it!

★★★★★ 5.0 Darcie Hunter · Oct 2025

The food and service were great! The atmosphere would have been perfect- except it looked like they were under co structuring with unfinished drywall. We ordered dinner specials. From burrata appetizer to salmon over risotto and affogato for dessert, it was all very yummy and rich- what you’d expect from a fine dining restaurant. We will be back for date night or special occasions!

1st time here and wow what an amazing experience. Hope was above and beyond with recommendations and service overall. I ordered a ribeye with scallops special and all I have to say is that steak was literally cooked to perfection. That butternit squash puree is something else! Thank you all for an amazing experience and a great night out with my wife. We will be returning on soon!
