So good that weekends are packed, so make a reservation or try a weeknight. You will not be disappointed!“

“Place is a hidden treasure. Food is outstanding! The waiters were very welcoming, funny and very attentive without rushing us before we could ask for anything they were right there. The owner is super sweet with a beautiful personality. He makes you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. The food was phenomenal every dish was seasoned perfectly and portions were plentiful. The prices very reasonable for the service and food quality they provide. This is so far our favorite Italian cuisine restaurant I'm so glad we live close by we will be back. If I could give a 10 star I would!“

“My friends and I live in different states we found Basilico as a middle ground to meet and thankfully they were able to accommodate us. I must say from the minute you walk in to the 4 hours later the staff were beyond courteous and accommodating. The food was AMAZING the drinks in another level. The bartender made special drinks to accommodate us. My only regret was having too many spicy margaritas not to recall everyone’s name 🫣. Regardless even as we closed down the restaurant and staff were leaving as we stood in front talking, they still treated us as family. Ultimately if you want a cozy family like experience but with exceptional food and above and beyond service Basilico is a must. Oh and the favorites were the lamb chops, seafood risotto and lava cake just as an fyi.🤗🤗“

“We had an amazing dining experience at Verana. The atmosphere was elegant and welcoming, making it a perfect place for a special night out.

We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Verana to anyone looking for an exceptional Italian restaurant in the area!“

The food is incredible, the service is wonderful, the setting is perfect, I love how small and intimate it is, and I love the fact that’s family owned.

Ken took his time to help me plan a menu, order, and execute a hot and cold buffet for over 60 people. The food came precisely when promised, piping hot, and everything was delicious. (All on a very busy Saturday Night might I add!). I will certainly be calling them again for my next catering as well as take-out dinner!“

“We had a wonderful experience at this pizza place! The brick oven calzone and pizza were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.

We’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“Good Pizza Great service Good Beer“

“I order pretty frequently from Dom’s in Nanuet since I work nearby. Yesterday, when we got our order to Sloatsburg, there was an omission in the order ( we really should have checked before we left). As always, Dom’s went above and beyond to make this right. They drove my order to Sloatsburg and included several delicious extras! Their catering always makes our events delicious, but yesterday they made it extra delicious. Dom’s has amazing food and even better service.“

“We don’t dine out frequently, but when we do, we love Amarone! We had not been there in quite some time, so we went to celebrate my birthday. From the moment one enters, one feels welcome. The atmosphere combines elegance and comfort, warmth, and the delectable aroma of culinary delights to come. Charming, funny, and attentive, Tony provided us with excellent service. The food was fantastic. We started with the clams oreganata. The white wine sauce made an excellent accompaniment. My husband had the ribeye steak accompanied by shrimp scampi, broccolini, and mashed potatoes. I tried the grilled veal chop. With mixed vegetables and roasted potatoes, it was superb. We will be back!“

“The #1 and the Chicken, Eggplant, or Meatball Parmigiana Sandwiches are literally perfect on every level. Expertly sliced, sized and also very fairly priced. The Daily Homemade soups are great as are the Daily Specials. If I lived closer I'd eat lunch here daily. Cash $$ only.“

The food is delicious, the ambiance is amazing and the service is the absolute best! The staff is friendly, attentive and makes us feel like family.

The eggplant Parmesan was outstanding. The capellini delicious. Salads generous and plenty to share. Very pretty atmosphere with bougenvilla flowers draped across the place. Friendly excellent service. Highly recommend“

“On December 12th my law office had their holiday luncheon at this wonderful restaurant. I also ordered a tray of meat lasagna for Christmas. If you have never had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant, I suggest you run - do not pass go - and get your butt there and eat the most delicous food on this planet. The chef created the meat lasagna - a simple dish - and elevated to something that just melts in your mouth with deliciousness. LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant!!“

“I’ve been going to Santucci’s in River Edge for over 30 years, and it continues to be one of my all-time favorite restaurants. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and the staff always makes you feel welcome. Their chicken parm is hands down the best around — always perfectly cooked and full of flavor. It’s a true neighborhood gem with that warm, familiar atmosphere that’s getting harder to find these days. Whether it’s pizza, pasta, or a full family dinner, I’ve never had a bad experience. Santucci’s has been part of my life for decades and I hope it stays in the community for many more. Highly recommended!“
