50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bernardsville

“Had a fantastic Valentine’s dinner at Bistro Seven Three in Bernardsville last night! Food was unbelievable and the service was friendly and really attentive! Thanks! We’ll be back!“

“Food is Delicious. Nice Place.“

“Absolutely one of the best tasting pies around! Been going there for years. They also have a new garlic spread that is a MUST HAVE! Great to dip your slice in or have on a white slice. If you haven’t tried it yet, ask for it when you order a pizza! 🍕🇮🇹👌🏼“

“MV Restaurant is the best and authentic Italian restaurant in NJ, the quality of ingredients, techniques, passion and authenticity are marvelous! Chef Pat confirms his majestic taste, hands and heart after Queen in Brooklyn Heights. The stones of your walls are mighty and wise, like the strength of Italian cuisine in your family. A must to go, dear friends, a shining diamond in a confused world of goofy chefs. Grandissimi Vitiello! Chef Lorenzo Polegri“

“My very Italian New York family and some friends joined us for a celebration at Chianti Wood Fired Pizza (Bernardsville) this past Saturday evening and they are still raving about the delicious food and quality service. We had originally booked a party of 15 and due to unforeseen circumstances ended up having 22 people show up. Frank was so gracious about it and quickly added tables and chairs. The food kept coming and we ate until we rolled out of there. I wish I could pick a favorite food we had but everything was so delicious that I can't decide. The calamari, brussel sprouts and grandma's pizza immediately come to mind. We plan on returning for future celebration and will hopefully get the number of guests right lol.“

“They expanded the dining area and what an improvement! Nice atmosphere and good food!“

“We went last night to celebrate NYE at Rosie's... the food was delicious, however we did not get our dinner until 10:45. We arrived at 8:30. In fact, our table was last to receive each course of the meal, and it was just too slow. The bill for 4, with tip, was $650, which is too much to receive such poor service.“

“I have known Adolfo for a long time and not only He’s a great Person but an outstanding Chef and in his latest endeavor nothing has changed . Great quality food with plenty of care and dedication to his craft and unbelievable ambience inside the Restaurant with fun and friendly Staff all around . I highly recommend it to give it a try …“

“Oh man… where to start. The service was phenomenal, great recommendations, great atmosphere, the owner, Ms. Dana greeted us with a smile, Nikki the manager was great to deal with. Now the food… I had the special, “The Gobbler” and it was unbelievably tasty. The crunch from the toasted bread, the flavors all together were a symphony on my taste palette. My gf got the “Toni Ann” and she couldn’t talk while we were eating together because she wouldn’t stop stuffing her face. After she said the chicken cutlet was cooked perfect, mozzarella was fresh, peppers were exquisite. Overall experience was just mind-blowing. I’d recommend Ferraro’s to any person, local or travelers, you NEED to stop and eat here.“

“Best food ever 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 love coming here with our family Tammy and Sal the owners are so nice very special people and so are their waiters and waitresses we love Palo Thanks to our Father for introducing us to Dimaios“

“From the moment we walked in, we were treated as if we were sitting in first class. The staff was so attentive to our table even though they were very busy. We were not rushed and enjoyed every savory bit of food that was put before us. They also catered to me being a vegetarian. We finished our meal with the most delicious homemade gelato . if ever given the opportunity, please do not pass this gem of a restaurant up.“

“The food and ambiance are always on point, and the people are welcoming like family.“

“Delicious food! Great staff!“

“Close to NYC level of fine dining... service and food both are excellent! Very reasonable prices, I'll be back.“

“Always a great classic dinner experience. Small and intimate, the noise is much better with hidden acoustic tiles, the pasta is homemade, and specials are actually interesting, and the service is exceptional. It's also nice to be on Broadway rather than Burlingame Avenue, because it is a bit smaller and charming. This is a great place for Italian food in Burlingame.“

“Beautiful alfresco dining weather permitting. Dinner never disappoints all selections excellemt. Best mussels ever. It’s not about the mussels but about the sauce which is FABULOUS.“

“I never write reviews, but this one is worth writing! Yesterday was my Dad's 97th birthday. I ordered food from Anthony for his party of 25-30 people. Best choice I ever made! Not only were Anthony and Donna so nice and accommodating, but the food was out of this world! I cannot recommend Anthony's food, and service, more highly. Thank you Anthony and Donna for making my Dad's birthday even more special.“

“Luna Rossa is an exceptional restaurant which is run by a loyal and dedicated team under the direction of Adrian. Our first time visiting this establishment was with a party of 10. Adrian took all of our orders including appetizers without writing anything down. The food was delivered to perfection. I am astounded by the diversity of the menu, the ability to switch out sides, the quality and taste of the food. The chefs are talented and cook to delight every palate. I can not say enough about this wonderful restaurant including their staff Carlos, Kevin, and everyone that works so hard to deliver memorable meals. I look forward to going back soon. Thank you!“

“We were there for my daughters birthday this past Saturday. My wife and my daughter's boyfriend had the seared salmon which they loved. My daughter had the chicken parm, which she said was good. Her only "complaint" was that the sauce was a bit too sweet for her taste, but the portion was good and the chicken was cooked well. My son enjoyed his pepperoni pizza. He's not very adventerous. I had the Capellini Napoletani. It was very good. The capellini was cooked perfectly for my taste as was the shrimp, clams and calamari. Very tender. The sauce was great. This is our go-to for great food and is my wife's favorite. She is returning with coworkers for lunch on Tuesday. Service is top notch. Keep up the good work. We'll definately be returning.“

“my review is for the amazing pepperoni slice I just grabbed for lunch. it had a crispy, thin crust with no flop. the sauce was a nice balance of sweet and tangy. the cheese was not excessive, and the pepperoni wasn’t too greasy. I added pepper flakes and oregano because that’s how I like my pizza, but it would be perfectly delicious without it.“

“We've been ordering here for a while now. It's one of the better NY/NJ style pizzas in the area without being too specialized.Their pasta and meat menu items are where they are best - looking at you Chicken Puicinella and Cavatelli with Broccoli.For appetizers, they have great wings which are crispy, the way I like them. Also, the fried calamari uses a very light batter, so it's not too heavy.We've ordered trays from them twice for parties and we weren't disappointed in the quantity provided and they were affordable.“

“Staff is very welcoming & attentive. Food is amazing!“

“Great food, excellent service from Dennis Yusko in coordinating our catered party!“

“Four of us enjoyed this hidden gem in Randolph this evening. All four appetizers and entrees were superb. In both taste and presentation. Great value for the price and the services was superior. I recommend this restaurant highly for all.“

“The atmosphere is the best part of Cafe Azzurro. Very good vibes for family dining. Service has been meh - they seem to get overwhelmed and prioritize large groups over smaller ones. Food is pretty good but Il Monello down the street has them beat in that category.“

“It's always a delight to eat at Bruno's Bistro. The atmosphere is so warm and friendly. We're visiting family and getting to eat delicious, freshly prepared food. Some of our favorites are the cheese gnocchi with crabmeat in vodka sauce, short ribs, and the paroadelle bolognese. The pistachio dessert is to die for. Their whipped cream is homemade and to perfection. Mangia and enjoy!“

“Food is fresh and delicious! Hats off to the Chef! Great atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“The BEST in Stirling for anything from amazing Stromboli that cannot be beat - fresh doughnuts, bagels & the tastiest desserts... You can't go wrong here. PS: Meatballs are to die for!“

“Quaint and cozy restaurant. Friendly service. Great takeout. We’ve been going there for years. We even had them cater some parties for us.“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience at Guerriero’s Restaurant – Authentic Neapolitan Cuisine!
From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and rich aroma of freshly prepared Italian dishes set the tone for a memorable evening. We were on a bit of a schedule due to a show we had tickets for, and thankfully, we had Dakota as our server!
Dakota was not only friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, but also incredibly mindful of our time. He ensured our service was prompt and timed perfectly. Drinks, appetizers, entrees—everything came out perfectly timed and piping hot. His attention to detail and professionalism really made all the difference.
The food was phenomenal. The burger was out of this world! It was juicy and tasted so fresh I highly recommend. Also, the drinks were pristine.
Whether you’re on a date night, heading to a show, or just craving real Italian cuisine, Guerriero’s is a must-visit. Huge thanks to Dakota for elevating our experience—we’ll definitely be back!“

“What a delightful spot! The warm sourdough bread was amazing. Really good tricolor salad and house salad. Good fried calamari …the kind with the tentacles too, not just rings. My husband enjoyed cavatelli and broccoli and I ordered the meatballs but was too full to finish so we brought them home. Glad we stopped here and will return to try pizza next“
