9 Best Italian Restaurants in East Rutherford

“We did an overnight visit to the American Dream Mall this week. on Tuesday night we were looking for a restaurant to get takeout when we came upon Annabella's. What a lucky find. Her food is amazing. My daughter had the eggplant, pepper and mozzarella sandwich. Not only was it delicious, but so big she had enough for a second meal. I ordered chicken noodle soup with real chicken pieces, and tons of noodles. Her Italian egg roll was the best egg roll I've ever eaten. A perfect blend of shredded cabbage, peppers and mozzarella. My grandson was impressed that the chicken fingers were real chicken. For dessert, we ordered two glass champagne flutes with ice cream. Sadly one of the flutes broke as we were washing it to take home. My grandson is still talking about the fish that he saw stuck in the fish tank's housing. Annabellla immediately came and pulled it out then moved the little house. She thanked my grandson profusely, saying the fish probably would have died overnight. I'm just sad we don't live closer. That egg roll was epic.“

“Every year visit. Always amazing“

“Atmosphere is nice. The food was very good. Bartender gave five star service to everyone but me. I would say a four Charging six times the cost on a beverage is, harsh in my opinion …“

“Went for dinner. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, devoting just the right amount of time to us. We ordered cesear salad to start, seafood fra diavolo, and the butternut squash ravioli with broccoli rabe and shallots in brown butter. The salad was crisp and dressed nicely, with shaved Parmesan and croutons. But the highlight was the seafood fra diavolo. The seafood was so fresh, plentiful, and the heat was just right. The platter was full of seafood and all of it was delicious. The butternut squash ravioli was stuffed full of puree and simply melted in your mouth. The broccoli rabe was somewhat bitter, but the shallot and brown butter sauce balanced it out. Both entrees were a nice portion size. We ordered pizzepoles for dessert which came with Nutella and raspberry dipping sauce. They came in the traditional brown paper bag for shaking to distribute the powdered sugar and they were hot and fresh. The atmosphere is upbeat with plenty of seating in comfortable chairs or bench seating. Lighting is good and music is not too loud. We were pleasantly surprised by our bill at the end despite having waited a little longer for the check than we liked, but we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will be back to try some of the delicious pizzas we saw come out of the oven. Highly recommend!“
