50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Oakland

“Huge portions of great food! Salads w/spectacular dressing lead to enormous, expertly-prepared steak, chicken and seafood entrees!“

“From the moment we walked in, the host greeted us like old friends and walked us right to our table — I instantly had a good feeling, and I was right. Our server was awesome — super friendly, knew the menu inside out, and was on top of everything all night.

The menu is classic Italian but with a twist — way more interesting than your standard North Jersey Italian spot. The ossobuco was fantastic (if I had to nitpick, I’d say the risotto could’ve used a touch less water and a heavier hand with the parm). The clams were fresh and baked to perfection, and my son devoured his ravioli. For dessert, the bread pudding was absolutely unreal — honestly worth the trip alone.

Safe to say we’ll be regulars!“

“el mejor restaurate lindo ambiente buen trato y lo mas importante una buena sazon les recomiendo si quieren comer rico venga aqui“

“With all the competition Johnny's faces in Mahwah, Ramsey, Allendale, and Suffern they have clearly shown from opening day to the present why they are the top choice. Every aspect of a business a customer would want they excel (product, cleanliness, customer service, and menu options). Besides a superlative slice of pizza their Sicilian is larger than others without being burnt on top (commonly found elsewhere), and their version of the Deep Dish slice is tremendous. If you want to dine in, take out, or not leave the comfort of your home and have the food delivered, they are the Must Go To spot in the area.“

“It was amazing my friend chef Adam out did himself as always delicious and decadent all in one!! Proud of you Adam!“

We will definitely be back.“

“The decor at this morsel of Costa Rican culture is aesthetically pleasing and if you’re in the area, this is one of the better Tico spots. We watched Costa Rica beat Paraguay in a Copa America game while eating pupusas, un Casado and Tacos Ticos and totally hit the spot. Especially since they served some salsa Lizano on the side.“

“Thanks again for the catering. The chicken parm, francese, and sandwiches were awesome! Happy New Year!“

“Excellent food and service we love this restaurant“

“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.“

“Delicious! We got the mixed platter (lamb and chicken and rice) and the chicken korma, chai, mango lassi, and garlic naan. The food was exceptional and the service was great. No frills or music for a very calm dining experience. We’ll be coming here again! Also - great prices and value. Lots of food for little $“

“lo mejor de lo mejor ❤️♥️“

“I and my whole family have been going here for the last 20 years. The food is consistently excellent the service is impeccable and his family are like my family.

I would always drive way out of my way if I had to to come to Bella Notte“

“A bonafide chinese takeout restaurant:

Classic menu,clean kitchen,tasty/quality ingredients and not dripping with grease.

Still ordering and searching through the menu to find where they really shine. So far everything has been great.

their BONELESS SPARE RIBS & Chicken stick are a must.

Spare ribs are the meaty,irregular shaped, crispy/charred, dark red chunks of juicy meat type. This vs the long rectangular strip type covered in sweet red sauce(which has its moments too)

Just a sucker for Chicken on a stick, and Great Wall’s is approved .“

“Honestly, I wasn't expecting much since the price was comparatively low but was surprised by the taste and quality. This was a delivery order, and all the items I ordered were packed well and tasted really good. Would definitely order again.“

“Service and food was great but was very disappointed that they don’t offer a veteran’s discount like most restaurants in the area.“
