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“

“Yes..Staff, Service and Food always great! Have been dining here since they opened. We enjoy the Jekyll and Hyde calamari and the spiedini appetizers. Anton makes a great rack of pork and filet mignon. We ended with cappuccinos which hit the spot. 👍👍👍👍👍“

“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…“

“Outstanding, authentic Italian cuisine. Pete and staff are amazing. The food is always prepared perfectly 👌🏻 Also, the BYOB makes this restaurant very appealing. The pricing is very reasonable for the quality and quantity you're receiving. I've been a regular here for years and plan on being one for many years to come. FYI... homemade cannoli cake is insanely delicious! The Arancini, Fried Calamri etc... the best around... and do not skip the Broccoli Rabe'“

“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.😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food every time. I went last night with friends for dinner and had, what may just be the best pasta dish, I ever had... but you'll have to see for yourself. And the Eccola Martini is another fave. Cheers!“

“We have been going to Trovatos since they opened years ago ,

“I came here for a romantic date night and Anthony was our server. Anthony went above and beyond! The service was incredible! He was hustling during a busy dinner rush and still gave us the best experience. We are new to Boonton and he was super helpful. The server made the experience a 10/10, we will be back.“

“Had such a great experience here! The food was absolutely delicious full of flavor and really impressive. The place itself is beautiful and very clean, which made the whole atmosphere even better.

“Phenomenal spot. Was having my car tinted down the street and stumbled upon this place by accident. Boy am I glad I did! I struggled trying to narrow down what I wanted because everything sounded so good - and pricing was great! Ended up with the mortadella, burrata, pistachio on focaccia - was fantastic. Cappuccino was also full of flavor. The staff was very accommodating and courteous while I was there. Can’t wait to come back for dinner very soon!“

“It's always a delight to eat at Bruno's Bistro. The atmosphere is so warm and friendly. We're visiting family and getting to eat delicious, freshly prepared food. Some of our favorites are the cheese gnocchi with crabmeat in vodka sauce, short ribs, and the paroadelle bolognese. The pistachio dessert is to die for. Their whipped cream is homemade and to perfection. Mangia and enjoy!“

“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 !“

“Stopped by at the recommendation of a friend. Restaurant is in a strip mall so plenty of parking. Restaurant was hard to find at night being their sign was not lite. Small place with a small bar in which I sat at for the evening. The owner Julio took care of me. I ordered a white sangria to begin the evening and the owner made it Perfectly. For entree, I ordered the Chef Giambot which is a mixture of filet tips, chicken; sausages, onions and peppers and homemade flat french fries. Dish could of had more seasoning but overall was good and plentiful. I had to take leftovers. This dish has heat to it being it has hot peppers in the mix. I will probably be back to try several of their traditional authentic Italian entrees.“

“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. 👍💯“

“The short rib special tonight was a 10 !!!“
