It's been a while since my wife and I came here. Glad we stopped in again.
My wife and I shared the salad capricciosa, my BIL & SIL shared the crab cake. Both apps were very good.
I ordered the Short rib pappardelle, my wife the pork chop saltimbocca. Both dishes very very good. My SIL had the branzino (as usual) and my BIL had the stuffed pork chop Valdostano.
We really enjoyed our meals... the service was very attentive and it's a BYOB.
Easily recommendable.

Slow service and old veal. Mashed potatoes were runny and salty. Do not recommend.

Amazing place! The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly!! Maryanne was so welcoming and she and Hailey made our experience perfect. Our son TJ ate two bowls of homemade rigatoni!! Highly recommend!!! We will be going back!

The finest owner cooked meals with a great selection. I'd give 6 stars if I could..Highly recommended and like myself you will be going back at least 2x's a month

Lovely service. Unfortunately the food was underwhelming, under seasoned, and overcooked.

Really delicious food

Mostly Fresh and cooked to order. The service was super friendly and communicative. Fried calamari, 2 non-protein salads, 3 pasta dishes = $163 😬

The salads were surprisingly VERY small for the prices.

Rigatoni Vodka sauce with grilled chicken x2:
Large potions size. The chicken was nicely grilled with a slight char. The vodka sauce was very tasty, but they were extremely stingy with it. The rigatoni was barely painted with it. I prefer the pasta to be drowning in the sauce.

Seafood fra diavolo:
Large portion size. The dish had zero heat and lacked any kind of flavor... once again the sauce was lacking and watery. The shrimp and calamari were very fresh and perfectly cooked. The clams and muscles were not.

Note: the order was placed late on a Sunday night. It may be worth a revisit. They were surprisingly busy.

Just had another fantastic dinner here! The veal chop is the best around! Everything is always fresh with a lot of flavor. The entire staff is always very friendly and works as a team. One of the top Italian restaurants in the area and easy parking for Montclair.

The staff was great but the food left a lot to be desired. My lobster, shrimp, clans and mussels weren't fresh and the risotto was not creamy at all...Lesson learned never again

My favorite Italian spot in Montclair hands down. I love the old school lowkey atmosphere… every single dish is fresh and delicious. Staff is extremely friendly and it’s always a pleasure to see them!

The atmosphere was good. However, it took long for the appetizer. We order (crab cakes) "S" more than 1, and we only received one. Very small portion, the pasta didn't really had lobster. Steak was overcooked! Disappointed overall
