“Always have the best time at franks. A must do everyday of our trip!“

“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. 👍👍👍👍👍“

“Attended a baby shower. The food was the best I have ever had in a long time. Everything was delicious. I will be back really soon“

“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.😋“

“Dined at Grappa tonight and it was A+, 5 ⭐️! If there was an 11 on the chart they’d be a 20.“

“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!“

“I asked for an off menu sandwich - I was craving a cheesesteak sandwich similar to the viral one in Manhattan (Danny & Coops). I asked and the owners delivered 🤤. It was PHENOMENAL.. shaved ribeye steak, provolone, caramelized onions, on semolina bread. I love that the owners bring their city/italian background flair up here, and let us get a taste of Brooklyn quality.
It’s a plus that when you go to pick up the food you see their whole family there, working hard to cater to their customers, they put so much love and effort in their dishes. You don’t see real family owned and operated restaurants anymore, it’s refreshing to see.

If you like quality ingredients, and delicious homemade Italian food .. this is your spot !!!“

“We have been going to Trovatos since they opened years ago ,
It is so Real NJ Italian!!
The food is SO over the top, I'm talking fresh and authentic NJ food here, top quality ingredients, no cutting cormers, the real thing!
Tony and staff are the most friendly and courteous of any North Jersey restaurants I've ever visited. Simply the best!!!
Go there!“

“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. The service was amazing, and everything just felt welcoming and well taken care of. I came for dinner with friends, and we all loved it. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to again!“

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

“Incredible drinks and homemade pasta!“

“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 !“

“I got the Strawberry salad from here today. It was really good. The staff was really friendly. They treat you like family. I from out of town (Michigan) and felt cozy and comfortable eating there. I hope to go back tomorrow and try the pizza.“

“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.🤙🤙“

“Such a wonderful last minute lunch! The chef was the only one working and he was able to seat our group of 5 outside and cooked AND served us. All by himself!! He was able to accommodate us for outdoor seating and two strollers. My first time there but definitely not our last!! Food was delicious and the patio was beautiful. Extremely family friendly!“

“The absolute best pizza anywhere. The sauce. 😋 mussels fra diablo me and the wife’s favorite“

“I have LOVED Tony’s Pizza my entire life! Their pizza has remained consistent and unforgettably delicious! I grew up in Pompton Lakes and I have moved all over the country and have dated more pizza than I care to share 🤣 I swear to you there is no better sausage pie in the world better than Tony’s. I work and own a business in the food industry and I swear by this pizza and mussels. Whenever I am back in Jersey or when my peeps come to visit, they know I will be ordering several pies to freeze for when we are nostalgic and want a a GREAT PIE! I cannot recommend this Mom & Pop restaurant more. Thank you all for my latest haul! You are the BEST!!!!! 🌟 😉🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Excellent Fried Calamari, great Caesars Salad, Portions were tremendous like if you were eating your Last Supper on Earth. My Chicken Parmigiana had to be 3 Large Cutlets over plenty of macaroni, my friend had Spaghetti & Meatballs, low & behold the plate came out with 7 large meatballs on top of the pasta. Needless to say we left with Doggie Bags, enough food for the next two days! The dining area is just a lovely space with white tablecloths & Italian pictures on the walls. From the outside you would never expect such a great place. The manager & waitresses were accommodating, and friendly. Great menu. Check it out, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Hidden diamond. BYOB.“

“Amazing dinner experience with my daughter!!!“

“Excellent!! Pasta dishes and specialty pies are delicious“

“Excellent food and service“

“Best pizza in NJ!!! I still dream about the taste 35+years after eating it. I have moved all over the US and have never found anything to compare to the superior taste or quality of their food. Absolutely love it! 😋“

“I get delivery from them and they’re always fast and have the best pizza in Ringwood. The other places aren’t bad and no disrespect to them but this is my go to place. They have a great selection of gourmet pizzas too. The online system is also super convenient and the delivery is always fast and the driver friendly. I’ve had friend rave about how my parties have the best pizza and its thanks to Luigi’s.“

“Pleasantly surprised. I only ordered from Frank's because I'm lazy and not many pizzerias are open on Mondays. Pizza, between the crust, cheese, and sauce was excellent. Mozzarella sticks survived the trip home and were still crisp.“

“I stopped into Danny's Pizza early in the day, shortly after they opened. I saw a sign outside that said they were voted #1 best pizza which I'm usually skeptical about. After having a slice though, I was pleasantly surprised. The pizza had a thin, crispy base with an incredibly flavorful sauce. The sauce to cheese ratio was spot on and the cheese was perfectly fresh and melted to perfection. Even the crust was bready and delicious. I'm definitely a fan.“

“Buonasera is our go to place to eat! It's great to bring friends to, great to have a date night, great for girls or guys night, just super great! The food is FANTASTIC! After going there for years and really enjoying everything my new crave is the Caprese Tower and the Calamari and Shrimp Fra Devraj. Although honestly, you can't go wrong with anything. Did I mention BYOB :)“

“Was in town for work last night. Ordered a large pepperoni pizza. Best pizza I had in a long time. Super fast delivery. Friendly delivery guy. Came with plates and napkins too! When back in the area, I’ll hit y’all up again.“

“It does not look like much on the outside (it’s a pizza place) but the Margherita was TOP NOTCH.
And while many places have pushed the price of their pies towards $30 including tax, we’ve paid $25 for a large pie and two cokes. Thumbs Up, Junior!!“

“Cupsaw Market has amazing food! My family especially loves their breakfast sandwiches and burgers & fries. We believe their Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese sandwich is the best in the area. Above all, we love the family that runs the Market and very much appreciate the community environment they create, embrace, and allow.“

“So delicious and plenty of food. Loved it!“

“We have ordered from Frank's numerous times with no issues. Tonight, driver arrived with 2 items missing and instead of leaving the items he had, took them with him....cold when he returned. Must have thought he was an Indy car driver on the way back because all the sauce for the mussels was gone, box was saturated. When questioned, he checked and said Ooops, sorry, and left. Called and spoke with the Manager who seemed less than Customer Service concerned although did offer another order of mussels. Unfortunately, with the fear of sabotage on the replacement due to complaining, we declined. Should have offered some kind of refund. As a Client Svc Mgr this is an unacceptable response to a dissatisfied client. We will not be ordering from Frank's again. I guess they have enough clients to not care about EVERY client. Shame!“

“Excellent Italian food. They know what it should be.“

“Amazing!!! Great food, friendly staff, and beautiful atmosphere“

“Employees are all very friendly. Food is delicious.“

“Their pizza is always the best, not greasy, well done with a crispy crust, & tasty toppings. We ordered 2 pasta dishes that came with 2 salads & garlic knots! Unbelievably delicious dinners! We ordered for pick up & it was ready in 40 minutes! Crazy fast service! The people who work here are so friendly & Angelica is simply the nicest young lady! I give this place a solid 5 stars! Thank you!“

“we're new to the area and took a shot. It was the best decision and best pizza I've had. thin crust Sicilian...fantastic!“

“We were visiting our son on the Appalachian Trail and stopped by for 6 different pizzas to bring to him and his fellow hikers on the trail. All were absolutely delicious! We were happy and so were the hikers!“

“Great food friendly staff“

“Highly recommend. Walked in to see about 6+ specialty pies to try. I ordered a spinach/ricotta & a broccoli/ricotta was amazing. Hot fresh & great taste. They do have a sit down server area with a full menu as well. Service was fast and professional. Definitely stopping by again….“

“Their Sicilian Chicken Bacon Ranch / Regular Chicken Bacon Ranch is THE BEST around. I am super picky about my pizza and theirs is always delicious. I would say their garlic knots could use a bit more oil on them but that’s just me being picky 😄 highly recommend! Hands down best pizza in the area.“

“What a wonderful experience! The food was amazing, I even had the eggplant which I haven’t touched in years. Great atmosphere. Polite wait staff and the owner was a sweetheart! They really try hard to make your meal memorable. I don’t normally write reviews but I had to for Cypress Tavern. All of our guests had a great things to say about the meal and the service.“
