Incredible food. Great service and super friendly staff. Best dinner in recent memory. Shared 1 appetizer and the Zuppa di Pesce for 2 people, more than enough food.
Parking: Plenty of parking.

We read about this restaurant in the most recent issue of NJ monthly and were eager to try it. This restaurant needs a lot of work. It took 20 minutes to be offered a drink. We brought our own wine which they allow with a corkage fee which we opened ourselves and drank from the glasses we brought from home. I had to get up from the table to ask for our order to be taken and didn’t get our appetizers until well after 8:00 (arrived at 7). The pasta was good (not great) and although it was to be prepared with guancalli it seemed to be prepared with some sort of pork that was mostly fat and inedible. Midway through the meal we noticed others being served bread and when we asked for it it was brought, but it was slice bread with olive oil. Not great. Cesar salad was ok followed by steak that was gristly and overcooked (ordered medium and it was medium well to well done) and a pork chop (the menu said pork tenderloin although I was served a pork chop) that was so overlooked that I was not able to eat it. They replaced it but by that time it was 9:30 and I lost my appetite. They seem to be trying, very nice people and a glimmer of talent but the basics were a real miss. From a business perspective many lost opportunities to sell cocktails as they have a full bar. Minimal wine list.

Excellent restaurant, some of the best Italian food I’ve had on this side of the ocean. Atmosphere cozy, old school good-fellas vibe but clean and classy. Absolutely recommended!

This place is a hidden gem in Montclair and I'm so glad that I found it. The food was simply delicious! The atmosphere and customer service was phenomenal, the place has the vibes of an old school Italian house and I loved it. I will definitely recommend this restaurant, you won’t be disappointed.
Parking: The place has a ton of parking spaces and there is plenty of meter parking spots in front of the restaurant.

Chef Giuseppe in the kitchen and Sandra in the dining room are exquisite people who make you feel at home. The service is spectacular and the presentation of the dishes is very refined. A place to spend an evening with family or as a couple thinking you're on vacation. A real Italian restaurant with real unrevisited Italian food. I advise you to go there, it is really worth it

I am so delighted I found this little gem of a restaurant in an old train station. The food was delightful and the owners are absolutely beautifully wonderful people. I had the lasagna and I wish I could have a recipe I don't usually order lasagna out because mine is wonderful but his is so much better. Delicioso

Wow, what a treat.A secret revealed...a treasure discovered. The magic and artistry of the chef, the attention to customer service by the staff, the perfectly mixed cocktails - everything was really just RIGHT.There is a lot of competition in Montclair for top tier restaurants, and this restaurant should be included in that group.
Delicious authentic Italian food, homemade pasta, the owner is from Italy and he is cooking in the kitchen with his family every night. Will certainly be back; great neighborhood as well with easy parking.

Cozy new trattoria in the heart of Walnut St at the Depot Square station. In an area overly saturated with "Italian American" fare the food is refreshingly authentic. Chefs and servers are from Sicily and offer an array of classic Italian dishes. The homade rigatoni amatriciana was perfectly "al dente," not overcooked, and with plenty of guanciale. The melanzane (eggplant) was delicate, minus the over-breading you get in other establishments. The maiale (roast pork) was juicy, perfectly cooked on the bone with a sweet and mouth watering pistacchio crust. Overall, an extremely satisfying meal; will definitely return!

The real thing. In a state full of phony Italian restaurants Antica Stazioneis real cucina italiana from an Italian chef. I had rigatoni Amatriciana with lots of fried pancetta that was tremendous. We had a dish of mussels and clams in a lemon and wine sauce that was delicious, I made the scarpetta with bread.(sop it up). Friendly service in an antique, cozy setting. Prices are normal. Parking is easy. Ottimo! Marchini Italo

Odd setup - bar and restaurant are different owners so despite ordering wine at the table you get two different bills. Wine list was really slim, not a lot of options. For the price, food was really disappointing.

Antica Stazione is a great spot. Atmosphere is nice, water is incredible, and the food is *chefs kiss* magnificent. The owner Giuseppe and his wife are lovely hosts!
