My boyfriend and I celebrated our 3-year anniversary at this restaurant, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of phenomenal. The flavors and taste of the dishes were absolutely delicious, leaving me wanting more with each bite. Not only that, but the service was impeccable. The manager, Tommy, and our waiter were incredibly attentive and treated us with such warmth and hospitality, making us feel incredibly welcome. Overall, it was an amazing dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service.

The restaurant is classy and comfortable. The service and the food are excellent. Very friendly, accommodating and pretty quick from the time that you order to the time the time the food is one the table.

I kept seeing this place online so my husband and I decided to try it out. Their options at the bar are beyond expectations. The service was impeccable. We truly enjoyed our experience, and the food? Amazing... the calamari was phenomenal, the cacio e pepe balls i can eat all day, and my husband's favorite was this glazed pork chop. We'll be back!

If you’ve been to those other restaurants, it’s no surprise at this one is also a triumph because honestly all of Rob Felices restaurants are truly worth not just the hype but the money.Beautifully plated and generous portions, the pasta is definitely always exceptional. You start out with complementary bread, but don’t fill up because you’re gonna want to save room for the amazing dishes! The sun-dried, tomato, ravioli is something special and new, but I would be remiss if I did not mention the spicy rigatoni vodka with fresh mozzarella, on top, an homage to another restaurant he’s opening!Full bar and you can’t go wrong with anything there, and definitely get dessert!

We came here to celebrate New Year's Eve. The restaurant was casual setting with no table cloth. It was a Prix fixe menu for New year's eve. The appetizers were ok, nothing stands out. The beef Wellington entree was awful. The pastry was soggy, and Low quality beef was tasteless . My partner had the pork chop was undercooked, inedible. I did some research and picked this restaurant, turned out to be a huge disappointment!

Unbelievable dining experience. Well thought out menu with complete balance of flavors. Perfect portion sizes leave you feeling satisfied and not over indulged. Dishes are as delicious as they are estheticly pleasing. Staff made thoughtful recommendations and interactions were pleasant and enjoyable.Parking: We parked across the street in a small lot

Great experience on our first go. Split salad, appetizers two pasta dishes and dessert.Had literally one of the BEST Manhattans (the BBB) I've ever had to start the evening.Service was excellent...props to Jackson (which is normally not the case in Bergen County) it borders on NYC steakhouse service. Water fills, plate removal, check-ins were all on point.The soundproofing is much appreciated. It's a lively atmosphere but not deafening. And the soundproofing is integrated into the decor. Extra points for that.The crostini app was fantastic. The layered flavors were much appreciated and the dish was a standout of the evening. The gem salad was very good. I'm not a huge dressing fan and it was a little on the border of too much but ultimately was quite good.Both pasta dishes were delightful. The bolognese was preferred over the papardelle dish. Both were solid but the bolognese was distinctly better.My ONLY complaint was the dessert. The Olive Oil Cake was underwhelming to say the least. It was dry, relatively flavorless and had what I would describe as a "gritty" mouth feel. It was plated nicely but that was about it.Can't wait to go back. Love the fact that the bar and dining area are distinct areas. Gives the restaurant a good flow and balance for all guests.It is pricey so be prepared. With tip we were in for $150/person. Probably can't go more than once a month at most but definitely looking forward to returning.Parking: There are multiple parking options. Time of day dictates how much trouble you'll have.Kid-friendliness: Wouldn't say it's young kid friendly but you could definitely bring tweens/teens. Although see pricing comments when considering bringing kids.Wheelchair accessibility: I would say it has good accessibility but it might be a little challenging to get to the restroom due to the high tops in the bar.

Third time here with my colleagues and the food and service was again fantastic. Don’t often leave reviews but when you’re traveling for work, it’s nice to find great food like this. The hot honey pizza was great! Everything was but that’s a winner among the group. Appreciate your place and I hope others read this and stop by for a bite. Thanks again.

This is one of those places you hear about and try because of the buzz. You prepare ahead of time to accept disappointment. And you sit down and the food starts coming. WOW!

I continue to dream about their calamari which is unlike any other. Memorable ravioli and pasta offerings and excellent Branzino.Attentive wait staff completes a wonderful meal for this repeat customer.

Another amazing dining experience at this gem of a restaurant. Drinks were great (mocktails included!), outstanding food, and superior service. Sincerely appreciate Andrew and team accommodating our request for a table in a quieter area of the dining room!

They are ON POINT here! My husband and I have been here for dinner multiple times, and each time is an outstanding experience. We love the innovative and modern twist on Italian food. It’s upscale and sophisticated, yet friendly and homey all at the same time. Great dishes to get:- calamari with a sweet white sauce- burrata with some squash (or was it beets)- oysters with the citrus foam ?- branzino- orchiette- ravioli- broccolini- olive oil cakeOsso Bucco (which was on the specials) was my favorite! It was so good that I got a gift card as we were leaving so my parents could go ASAP (and they went the next day) to try it.The drinks are good too! Thank you for a great time, always!
