50 Best Italian Restaurants near Montville

“All the different meals I’ve had at Columbia Inn have been amazing! I’m never disappointed. Their pizza is amazing too!!!“

“I’m a fan of the pizza, but the 1 guy behind the counter really pissed me off last time I went, completely ignored me standing by the slices for at least 5 minutes, I had to say are you going to help me? On top of this, I was charged $12 for 2 slices and a soda? I really started to think if the guy behind the counter was blind or couldn’t see.“

“When an owner like Donny is devoted to his business and truly concerned about quality, the result brings more than satisfied “repeat” customers! Congrats on bringing quality delights to the community! See you soon... Stan Jaffe“

“I start my review right away with recommendations, honey pizza and Nutella pizza, it’s super tasty, it’s worth a try. I liked all the dishes, and the service was simply top class, very professional. We will definitely be back to try other types of pizza. The best Italian restaurant in New Jersey so far in my opinion“

“Been a while since we went to Axton’s, but my wife and I will be celebrating 30 years this week, we thought we’d start with a fine dinner WTH Chef Anton. Early on a Sunday during the summer was far from their busy time, so we had a chance to chat. For starters, we shared an apple mango salad. Shame on me for not reading the menu. The dressing is apple mango. Home made! I was looking for mango in the salad. Apple, craisins, two kinds of cheese…. Perfect for a hot July day. My wife ordered the shrimp marinara over spinach instead of pasta. Delicious and even more impressive was that the shrimp had their tails removed. A great touch. The piece de resistance was my scallop special. Scallops topped with Crabcake coating topped with bacon. Served over a bed of spinach with cherry tomatoes and more. My wife called it spectacular. I thought it was a taste of heaven. Couldn’t figure out one taste in the sauce. Originally thought mango, but there was none in the salad. Had to ask if it was peach? Mango was the winner. The dish was a bigger winner!“

“This is an AMAZING restaurant with such wonderful ambience. We celebrated our marriage blessing there because the food is exceptional and the service is fantastic.“

“Wonderful food. Nice attentive service!“

“This is our favorite place… This is the side of meatballs and Ziti Norcina with homemade sausage. I have tried many different pasta dishes and love them all. It’s hard to choose when I get there. The service and staff are great. But the person that stands out to us, every time we go is Roy. He appreciates our business and is very friendly and outgoing. Every restaurant needs a Roy. Thanks, keep it up…“

“If I could give it six stars I would. I judge all others based on this restaurant. It’s a well oiled machine that never disappoints. Only bring your best clients here, and those that you truly love.“

“Service and food were fantastic…we will be back again. Recommend to everyone I know“

“The best pizza in NJ“

“Oh man… where to start. The service was phenomenal, great recommendations, great atmosphere, the owner, Ms. Dana greeted us with a smile, Nikki the manager was great to deal with. Now the food… I had the special, “The Gobbler” and it was unbelievably tasty. The crunch from the toasted bread, the flavors all together were a symphony on my taste palette. My gf got the “Toni Ann” and she couldn’t talk while we were eating together because she wouldn’t stop stuffing her face. After she said the chicken cutlet was cooked perfect, mozzarella was fresh, peppers were exquisite. Overall experience was just mind-blowing. I’d recommend Ferraro’s to any person, local or travelers, you NEED to stop and eat here.“

“We ate dinner for the first time at Enzo’s last weekend ! The food was delicious ! Def recommend reservations . We had the pleasure to meet Frank he was so enjoyable to chat too as well as shared his k owledge on a few dishes . Made us feel welcome ! We will be back“

“We placed a catering order yesterday. The tray of Chicken Parm was OUTSTANDING! Tender, plentiful, easy to reheat. Top notch service including how much they gave, serving tray and boxed with plastic in case of a spill. The sauce was sooooo good! We will be doing our catering exclusively at Sergios in the future.“

“The best in the county! Great service!! A must!!“

“Excellent food and service always an enjoyable evening at Michael Angelo’s in Fairfield“

“One of the best Italian dinners I've ever enjoyed! Silvio is a great owner, host, chef. The food, including the appetizers were spot-on delicious. The bread was spectacular. We celebrated our daughter's engagement and my 74th birthday and it was excellent. Silvio, Mateo will definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Had my daughter’s bridal shower here Saturday. It was amazing. My friends all said it was one of the best bridal shower they have been to. A large selection of food and fabulous ambience. I highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed.😋“

“We went to Travato’s Due last night for my birthday dinner and it was amazing! The food and service were top notch. My husband got the Filet Mignon Angry Joe and said it was hands down the best steak he’s ever had out. (He is hard to impress lol). I had the grilled salmon pesto and it was perfect. We also tried the shrimp beep and finished with tiramisu—both delicious!“

“Just delicious and the service for our large group was fantastic“

“Back in October, we had a surprise 30th birthday dinner for my daughter with a party of 22 people. The waitress was spectacular. The staff and owners were veryaccommodating and the food was delicious. They allowed us to come ahead of time to decorate. The event turned out wonderful!!!“

“Excellent food, excellent service and reasonably priced!“

“Close to NYC level of fine dining... service and food both are excellent! Very reasonable prices, I'll be back.“

“Divina’s Restaurant hits the “bullseye” I. A wide variety of categories.
Great food, amazing attentive service, and the chef/owner is really Italian.
Price wise is another bull’s eye.
The management/owner Mario has an astute sense of knowing what the clients want, resulting in the restaurant being always packed.
Kudos to Mario, the waiter, and kitchen staff!!“

“wonderful ambience ! wonderful food ♡ service!“

“This was our favorite restaurant for years when we lived in NJ. We were in area last week (after 15 years). WOW - the menu, the food, the cocktails, the service and effort put into everything is still FABULOUS! Our dinner on Friday was so good, we ate there again on Saturday night. Thank you Dan and your entire team.“

“We came here spontaneously and we were pleasantly surprised. Staff was professional, well mannered and welcoming. Atmosphere was romantic and classy. The food was absolutely great. A contender for the best lasagna I have ever had(and I have eaten at some great places in Manhattan), and the crab cake and shrimp were extraordinary as well. I had the chocolate mousse cake and my fiancee had the tiramisu, both were great for our individual palates. I like intense chocolate flavor, so it was perfect for me. The tiramisu was light and had a great balance of flavor. All in all, we had a great experience. We'll be back next time we are in the area, and we already recommended Primavera Ristorante to our friends.“

“This place is TOP SHELF. Went twice this past week and honestly feel there is NO place in the area that comes remotely close to this restaurant! I moved from Bergen County and until now, could not find that rare combination of quality food, CLEAN and attentive , personable staff. The seafood is AMAZING. I’ve heard some comments in reference to the owner….guess what…he’s doing a whole lot of right, maybe you just don’t know the difference.“

“I highly recommend this restaurant. Service and food are excellent.“

“This is my husband’s favorite pizza. He has been coming to this place since he was in high school. The best! We love positano!“

“Monica‘s restaurant is a great place to eat delicious food. Very friendly professional, hard-working staff.“

“The best thin Sicilian pizza I have ever had in my 56 years of life. Recommended 100%.“

“The food is always great. Fresh and diverse and the specials are always interesting The brick oven pizzas are just the right size and are always piping hot. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Very well priced for the sized meals that you receive. Very ie atmosphere. And it’s B.Y.O.B. CANT MISS PLACE TO DINE“

“Came here for the first time and enjoyed the double veal chop special - cooked perfectly in a demi glace sauce . Service was great - quickly took our order and served in a reasonable amount of time. It was BYOB so we were able to pair our meal with our favorite red wine“

“My friend and I are always looking for new restaurants to try and keep a log of places we see on Facebook or Instagram. Casa Nostra was next on our list to try and we were not disappointed.
The place is small and cozy, we called to see if we could get a reservation since it was a Saturday evening, they were able to accommodate us at 7:30. When we arrived we did not have to wait to be seated, the table was ready. The server provided us with menus and asked if we needed our bottle of wine to be opened. Server came back with bread for us and apologized that they were unable to warm it, explained and apologized that they were having issues with the bread warmer. The bread was fine as it was. The owner (chef) came out to take our orders we ordered the special fig appetizer to share, the portion was certainly large enough for 2 people and was very good. For entrees we had the Shrimp Risotto and Lobster Ravioli both were extremely good and nice sized portions. We were too full for dessert. One nice thing about this restaurant was that they did not rush you - there was adequate time between receiving the appetizer and entree which I thoroughly enjoyed as many times the entrees come out way too close to the appetizers. I will definitely be returning again.“

“Great food wonderful atmosphere , and for us lots of great memories. We have been going to Berta’s with our family since we were kids.🤙🤙“

“My mother and our family had an incredible time at Seer Steakhouse. The food was absolutely wonderful—every dish was cooked to perfection—but what truly stood out was the exceptional service. The staff made us feel genuinely welcome and taken care of from start to finish. We happened to be there on a night with live music, which was a little loud at times, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Such a great place, from the food to the staff there is no where else I go to enjoy quality time with friends and family. love it here and thank you Ilpanino for always going above and beyond.“

“Well worth the visit, the food and service were excellent. Visiting from out of town I quite admired our attentive head waiter with the Latin accent, who at the same time had also an unmistakable Jersey accent. Being from Philly I wonder how they felt when I asked for another glass of 'wooder'. 🤣

Wheelchair accessibility: Seemed easy enough for ADA citizens.“

“Todo excelente, lo recomiendo“

“During current lock-down - Benvenuti offers a great "Meal for 4" which could easily be called "Meal for 6". More importantly - tastes great. And brought out to my car - not necessarily because of the crisis - but because the trays were too hot ! Great experience and highly recommend.“

“It was a pleasant experience for me to be there today with a party of nine. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. Thanks.“

“Flew in for a work trip this week and we decided to order Gencarelli's Pine Brook last minute through UberEats. I took these photos midway through the meal. Being a vegetarian, and without seeing clear labeling on their menu, I called the restaurant ahead of time to find out what was safe to order. The guy I chatted with (possibly the Manager, Walter?) was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure he got me the right info for dishes, and communicated with the cook after we ordered to avoid any mix-ups. All of the food (cheese ravioli with parmesan, garlic sauteed spinach, beet salad, plain rolls) was fresh and the quality was exceptional. Portions were large and I was able to eat on them for a couple days. The plain cheesecake was literally the best I've ever had in my life. 🙌 I'm still dreaming about it and wish I could have it shipped to TX. I definitely recommend Gencarelli's Pine Brook for a delicious night out or even a relaxing night in. Can't wait for my next visit to NJ!“

“We had a wonderful Dinner at Novelli Restaurant in Wayne NJ yesterday celebrating my amazing Wife Karen's birthday. Food,service and ambiance was outstanding !“

“Delicious pizza and entrees! Great dining room service I highly recommend I live in NY“

“Julian & Jill are amazing bartenders and servers. The owner is amazing and so is, literally, everyone who works here. I'm Italian, raised with high standards regarding our traditional food, and they meet all my standards. Highly recommend!“

“Beautiful place, great food, great service and they don't rush customers out. The lemon butter fillet of sole was absolutely delicious! I will definitely go back. 👍💯“

“I went to Calandra’s Italian Village and had one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The food was amazing! fresh bread, perfectly cooked pasta, and everything just tasted like it was made with love.

Our server Jayson was awesome. Super friendly, really attentive, and made some great recommendations from the menu. He made the whole night feel easy and fun, like we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

If you’re looking for a place with great Italian food and even better service, definitely check this place out, and if you can, ask for Jayson. He made the experience next level“

“Tony the manager went out of his way to drive to the bakery (where I was) and drop off cheesecake from the restaurant right at closing time! It was so nice of him to go to all that trouble for me and the cheesecake was delicious!! Thank you!!“

“Had my surprise 60th birthday party at Arca. It is beautiful restaurant the choir loft is a great place for a small gathering and the food was amazing. The staff was so attentive to my guest and their service was amazing! Can't wait to go back for dinner.“
