50 Best Italian Restaurants near Morris Plains

“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.“

“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!“

“Sat on time and they were very accommodating with a last minute change in the amount of people. The staff were professional, and coordinated, it was obvious this team has worked together many times. But the food was just amazing. From the bread to the dessert, everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Texture, flavor mixes, etc. whomever the chef is over there, they need to pay him/her more. Worth their weight in gold!“

“Stopped in yesterday to try the pizza. Regular, Bacon ranch and spinach with fresh Ricotta. Thin crispy crust absolutely delicious! Best around. Can't wait to order some dishes!! Will spread the word! 👍“

“Love the pizza and the chicken parm! We always try to get Brenda as our server.....she is quick and always remembers us! Makes it feel like home! :-)“

“Best pizza in town 👍 Very friendly staff 🥰 Fast delivery“

“The food is very good, there is a casual atmosphere and they are very safety conscious.“

“Great local pizza place! There are multiple delicious menu items whether you are a meat eater, vegetarian, or something else. I enjoy their salads, specials, entrees, and of course, the pizza. Not a big fan of the grease, but the sauce is great. You'll receive large portions for affordable costs (better than others around). The service is friendly and efficient. This is a hopping place, especially Friday & Saturday nights. I recommend ordering ahead before you're hungry for when you are hungry, or waiting until after the dinner-time rush.“

“Had a fantastic Valentine’s dinner at Bistro Seven Three in Bernardsville last night! Food was unbelievable and the service was friendly and really attentive! Thanks! We’ll be back!“

“We went last night to celebrate NYE at Rosie's... the food was delicious, however we did not get our dinner until 10:45. We arrived at 8:30. In fact, our table was last to receive each course of the meal, and it was just too slow. The bill for 4, with tip, was $650, which is too much to receive such poor 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.“

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

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

“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“

“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 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!!“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Beautiful alfresco dining weather permitting. Dinner never disappoints all selections excellemt. Best mussels ever. It’s not about the mussels but about the sauce which is FABULOUS.“

“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.“

“Table 42 is a traditional Italian staple and a true gem in Dover. While we will always miss Chuck, we hope the new owner preserves the incredible ambiance and vibe that keeps the regulars coming back! There's simply no other place like it. A huge part of why we return is Mauricio the Chef, who makes the best pasta fagioli, and the wonderful servers like Joannie. We go for that unique feeling as much as for the fantastic food. Table 42 reminded me of Cheers, I truly hope it doesn’t lose its uniqueness.“

“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“

“Fantastic!! So glad we came, by far the best Italian we’ve had….ever! Service from the outset was 1st class, very attentive team, could not do enough for you. Food quality was outstanding. Definitely worth the price tag.“

“When we decided to make a reservation here I was concerned because the parking situation in Madison is difficult. IlGoccino has parking in the rear of the restaurant so it was fine. The staff were warm and welcoming and they honored our reservation on arrival. The food was excellent - the salmon cooked to perfection and the chicken was tender and delicious as well. We certainly will return.“

“wonderful ambience ! wonderful food ♡ service!“

“Had dinner on 6/2/22. We had a party of 9 all together. Sat in the back room. Both the food and the server were fantastic. Sorry I didn't get her name. Come here maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Never disappointed!!“

“My team had a lunch booked today and stepping into L’Allegria was a beautiful surprise. I booked the restaurant based on the menu and ratings, plus parking looked easy. Without planning it we had a private room where we could celebrate the departure of one of our colleagues. Alana took great care of us and the food was delicious and well executed. Temperatures were perfect on the food too. The zucchini blossoms and homemade gnocchi were the best I’ve had in YEARS. The chef and restaurant team are to be commended. I look forward to returning with my husband for dinner. Thank you!“

“Little Nicki’s was wonderful. The food was delicious and presentation was beautiful…wonderful atmosphere very friendly. Victoria gave us great service. And the owner Dom was delightful. Will be back real soon…“

“Four of us enjoyed this hidden gem in Randolph this evening. All four appetizers and entrees were superb. In both taste and presentation. Great value for the price and the services was superior. I recommend this restaurant highly for all.“

“Todo excelente, lo recomiendo“

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

“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.“

“Cute decor with incredible food! All the staff is incredible in their hospitality and polite. They have the most amazing porcini mushroom ravioli!! I often stop by to pick it up to go when I happen to be in the area. It’s a bit pricey at $45 for a dinner portion, but I don’t mind paying a premium for good quality fresh ingredients.“

“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!“

“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. 👍💯“

“Great food and service in a very stylish restaurant…“

“I ordered the lamb skewer platter. And it was good. They even have bougatsa and spanakopita. It really took me back when I visited Greece. They do not disappoint. Definitely coming back here and would recommend to friends.
Service was very good. She was friendly and very helpful.“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience at Guerriero’s Restaurant – Authentic Neapolitan Cuisine!
From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and rich aroma of freshly prepared Italian dishes set the tone for a memorable evening. We were on a bit of a schedule due to a show we had tickets for, and thankfully, we had Dakota as our server!
Dakota was not only friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, but also incredibly mindful of our time. He ensured our service was prompt and timed perfectly. Drinks, appetizers, entrees—everything came out perfectly timed and piping hot. His attention to detail and professionalism really made all the difference.
The food was phenomenal. The burger was out of this world! It was juicy and tasted so fresh I highly recommend. Also, the drinks were pristine.
Whether you’re on a date night, heading to a show, or just craving real Italian cuisine, Guerriero’s is a must-visit. Huge thanks to Dakota for elevating our experience—we’ll definitely be back!“
