10 Best Italian Restaurants in Fair Lawn

“I have been eating at Belle Vita since 2003, when I moved to Fairlawn.

The place has alway had extra great pizza, the owner/pizza maker having honed his skills in the dog-eat-dog pizza capitol of Brooklyn, NY where pizza HAS to be top notch or you close shop.

It has not dissappionted all these years.

12 years ago, I moved from Fairlawn to another town (4 miles) away, but still occasionally come back for their pizza.

The place has lost traffic since Shoprite moved a few miles away a few years back (2 or 3 years ago), but the pizza quality still remains the same.

I especially recommend their chicken marsala pizza. You used to be able to buy it by the slice, when there was more traffic.

Now, you have to buy it by the pie (less business due to Shoprite), but it's to die for, and I am sure your family will love it.

And the service is still just as good.

I am 23 years a Belle Vita pizza fan. Still just as good as the first day I moved into Fairlawn, and found them.“

“We love coming here. Delicious food, great service, and wonderful services. Michelle and Paul are so welcoming!! You are not rushed so you can enjoy your food and your friends. The new decor is very calming!!! The best!!!!“

“Hi, just wanted to say. How great this place is. I ordered on Satuday. They forgot to add my 2 chicken empanadas to my pick up oder. I called and left a message but they were closed. I called on Monday spoke to Stepanie and she was very apologetic. She suggested i pick them up. Which I did. Long story short. They replaced it with 4 empanadas. Great customer service. Empanadas are delicious. Recommend highly..Many blessings for their business.. Will order again...“

“Food is always good! Have taken friends & family here, and always get a rave review: BYOB, so very reasonable. One suggestion: redecorate!“

“Dinner at Sage is always amazing. Owner Rob and waiter Darren will make your experience here a great one. Try the Tuscan ragu, Chicken Florentine.“

“Catered babies Christening. Everyone there commented how delicious everything was. Thank you Tom 👌“

“Thx for the warm welcome to Jersey first time I heard someone say pie at a pizza spot… was very good pizza my son went crazy over the calamari said it was the best he’s had… also the flounder hero was great!!! Now I can say I had a pie in jersey thank u for making me and my sons trip awesome!!!“

“We had a great meal and time here! We had the eggplant and the meatballs both recommended by our server, Erin. For pizzas we did the hot honey and caprese both EXCELLENT!!! We ended the night with cannolis, would come back just for these, mouth watering!!! Erin was attentive and helped us with any question we had, she truly made our night with her bubbly personality and knowledge of the menu. Would come back request her and those cannolis!!!! Can’t rave enough about this place!!“

“Actually the food is very good. The old owner was very bad in dealing but now with the new owner the dealing is great and the service is good. Also the delivery service of the restaurant is the best if you want to get the food as quickly as possible I do not recommend delivery companies. The honest driver in the restaurant is the best thing and if you do not like anything you will talk to him and he will bring you your order again as soon as possible. Thank you for your kindness“

“Lately terrible . Portions of food are l so cut down .. I ordered meatball hero and if there was 2 meatballs on it I’d be shocked .. was all bread . I know economy is hurting but so Are we !!!! I’d rather pay higher prices but don’t scrimp on the portions…. Chicken dinners are half the usual meat . I been going there for years regular weekly with family or ordering out. I am through now …. We are all hurting ..also now they charge fir extra dressing on salad !! Just I’ve past 18 months or so . Very disappointed but even if food is decent for our area , I can’t buy a meatball hero and have to go buy a whopper right after I’m done because I’m still hungry!!!! Beware all in Fair Lawn , search elsewhere.“
