50 Best Italian Restaurants near Califon

“Had catering for a party and the food was excellent! Great job 👏 👏👏👏👏 from Tony and his staff. Plenty of leftovers!“

“We just moved to Califon and this is the first place we tried. Hit right on the spot! Their Spinach ravioli and Vegetable Dish Pasta is a must try! Their wine selection is amazing too! Would highly recommend trying the place and will definitely visit again and again! Bonus: they have gluten-free capellini tasted just like pasta without an aftertaste!“

“Very good pizza! Never had a problem with the service, usually pretty quick and if you order ahead it's often ready even a lil early which is great. No frills for sure, but the pizza itself is pretty killer.

Parking: It's a small lot but it's never been full in my experience.“

“Safe and yummy for my GF/DF daughter! Their extensive vegetarian, GF and DF options work well for our family's needs.“

“We had a wonderful birthday celebration meal here. Our server Rob was excellent!!!“

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! The food is absolutely delicious!!!! This Italian Restuarant, in my opinion, is the best in Clinton. The owners and staff are customer focused and if you need an ingredient changed in a dish ordered, they are more than willing to go the extra mile to make certain that you are satisfied. The atmosphere is warm and quaint which leaves one feeling very relaxed and comfortable. Be sure to dine in this restaurant, you'll be glad you did!“

“Three of us dined there 6/27 and chose different chicken entrees. Each meal was exceptional. This BYO is better than many of the Italian restaurants in the area. Can’t wait to go back. All three of us agreed it was 5 star worthy!“

“Wonderful menu with a beautiful selection of delicious food. It’s hard to decide which one to order! Fresh and made the old fashioned Italian way, with love!“

“Wonderful restaurants, great service and delicious food!“

“I can’t say one bad thing about this restaurant - the food, the service, even the greeting at the front door was all great. As soon as my friends and I walked in we felt comfortable. We shared eggplant rollatini and bruschetta to start, and each had pasta dishes (chicken parm & lasagna) for our main entrees. We each brought half our dinners home so we could share a dessert :) which was also wonderful (fresh baked chocolate chip cookie in a cast iron pan with ice cream). We WILL be back. This place is a gem!“

“Best pizza in town. Also better than 90% of pizza in NYC. My family loves Enzo's Pizza.“

“Got married there over a decade ago and have been coming out ever since. Many restaurants are good businesses and in addition to this, Demos and Jimmie show their passion for what they create. My fav is shrimp and scallops over pasta in a great cream sauce… steaks are great and Demos is a wizard in the bakery.“

“Attended a party there. Great food. We had Caesar salad, meatballs (giant), fried calamari (really good!) and our choice of entree. I chose chicken parmigiana, first off as a joke I asked the server if this was for the entire table, a huge portion! Two large chicken breasts atop a good size serving of linguine. The red sauce was excellent. I can’t wait to go back.“

“We have lived in nearby Chester for nearly 40 years. Hands down - Mia Nonna's Cucina serves the best Italian food in the area. Their Veal Saltimbocca is superb and their Branzino (when it's on the menu) is among the best I've ever had.“

“bensi is my favorite restaurant. the staff is always welcoming and the food is absolutely amazing“

“Had a nice lunch sitting outside in lovely weather. Would rate higher but would like to see what dinner would be like before giving 5 stars for the food. I had chicken milanese. Was cooked perfectly and all the food i saw was legit Italian. Was pleased to see a woman come with her dog, who was welcome in the outdoor area. Will definitely return.“

“Beautiful inside. Food and service was Wonderful! 100% recommend!“

“will eat there again!!!!!“

“Really good. Pleasant outdoor seating. Loved the pretzel knots. Good beer, sweet potato fries for most part were good. Would have enjoyed a dipping sauce for fries and for my prime rib sliders drummies were good but could have used a sauce“

“This is our GO-TO place for catering when we have parties. They are so accommodating, they can make anything on or off the menu, great pricing, and they are truly appreciative for the business! Every single time we order, our guests RAVE about the food. We went out on a limb and ordered a large cheesesteak Stromboli last night and people couldn’t stop eating it. HIGHLY recommend!“

“This authentic Neapolitan pizzeria is a gem! Not only is the pizza phenomenal and the best I have ever had, the kind, friendly and genuine costumer service is absolutely outstanding. Great outdoor seating space. This pizzeria is amazing and I cannot wait to dine there again! Do not walk to this place…instead run for the most epic pizza and friendly restaurant service you can find in Clinton, NJ!“

“I tried buffalo chicken and chicken parmesan and both slices were flavorful and had the crispy crust. The restaurant had a nice Italian vibe and the service was friendly. Overall, I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. It's kinda worth it if you're looking for a good pizza restaurant in the area.“

“DELISH! I ordered a full tray of chicken Parm and of baked ziti. My family devoured everything and asked to take a dish home. Very generous servings and delicious. The phone order was soooo nice and the delivery was timely. I would recommend for your next catering need.“

“everything! they are the best around❤“

“Fantastic couple who owns and operates the restaurant. Love the base red sauce flavor, warning though that it’s on the sweeter side.

Great pizza. Wife loves the penne vodka.

They also make Italian desserts for the holidays for takeout sale.“

“Everything possible is made on site including the amazing sausage that was on our pizza 🍕“

“While your food is delicious, your customer service need work. Some of the younger kids rush you off the phone and when you pick up your food its even worse. no thank you, no nothing. just sign here and they walk away. almost short of bring rude“

“Last night I had chicken francese at Franks. I like plenty of lemon tast and that is how it arrived Portion size allowed take home for today“

“Great food awesome staff great owners👍“

“I never give five stars for anything, as five star would be perfection. Guess what, this is the best Italian food I have had outside of Italy. Produce is obviously fresh and high standard. I'm a bit of a foodie, and I've eaten in some expensive restaurants that don't have food as good as this. I won't go anywhere else.“

“The food is always delicious, highly recommend the 420 Burger, and the chicken and Swiss panini, or the blackened ribeye. And just tonight I tried their special for a loaded baked potato and it was huge and delicious I hope they keep it on the menu. And the staff is always friendly and the delivery drivers are awesome.“

“Frank’s is the best pizza place around! Their food is always so fresh and the waitstaff is great. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!“

“The restaurant looks nice inside and very clean, and the people working there are awesome! The food was very good, and the pizza is definitely one of the best in the area.

They made a pasta dish for me that wasn't on the menu, and it was really good! They went out of their way to make it really well, even though they never had before and I have to give them credit for that that as well! That's great customer service!

Would recommend this pizzeria to anyone who likes good pasta and pizza for sure, but I'd imagine everything on the menu is worth trying. Enjoy!“

“Really great slice. I started visiting Chester 25 years ago as a young kid. The thinner than average crust at Bella's stood out to me even then, but still feels true to NJ Style pizza which I strictly classify and golden brown and crispy crust/bottom which achieves those wonderful golden brown micro bubbles. I'm normally skeptical of pizza joints which use a mesh tray to cook, however this place is quite the exception. The mesh tray might be their secret to that really awesome bake on their crust.“

“I had my first Dominick’s pizza experience today. We ordered the bruschetta and the chicken Caesar on a whim. I have never had pizza this good in my entire life, and I’ve eaten a lot of pizza! The toppings were plentiful and it was packed with SO much flavor. There are so many other unique flavors too, I can’t wait to try more. No other pizza will ever hold a candle to this place 🍕 ❤️“
