Good food, service and reasonable pricing. It's byob and that's a plus. Parking is behind the restaurant and off street. They have party room that accommodates 45 people and their dine-in is small but nice ambiance. I'm definitely coming back.
Giving this place a 1 Star is far too generous.
I wanted to go to The Barge in JC, but my parents live in N Arlington and I was told that this place was good so I agreed to come
I definitely like the location and I thought the restaurant was pretty we were set with a reservation quickly the ambience look nice
Servers were decent at most
I actually felt like the busters or more knowledgeable and helpful than the servers
I was with a table of six
I ordered as an appetizer the clams oreganata.
The breaking was great, and so was the juice, but the texture of the clams were very tough to chew.
I ordered an order of the mussels.
The muscle meet was very tiny the best thing I could say about them was that they all had their meat intact in the shell
Instead of having a generous and liquidy heaping of marinara sauce there was lumpy breadcrumbs packed into the shells and some places with big chunks of tomato with oil and garlic
I ordered marinara on the size to top it with they were a bit disappointing but I dealt with it
Garlic bread was over cooked and very hard. But flavored just, ok.
At that point I was tired of ordering things
I asked for a to go chicken cutlet Parmesan sandwich for my little baby brother
Server came back 10 minutes later and said that the chef "would not make it because this is a restaurant"
As opposed to being a deli?
I was a bit offended when I asked for them to just make a chicken cutlet Parmigiana dinner to go
Like I was sitting there with two heads
Took a while for us to get the check we passed on coffee and desserts.
My aunt said that this was the third time here and that normally it usually is pretty good.
In my honest opinion I'd rather have been to the Olive Garden.
Total disappointment
I thought this restaurant was excellent!!! From the outside, you would never know, but once you enter, it is a really nice place.
I had a reservation on a Sunday night. We were immediately greeted and promptly seated. Bread and olive oil were brought out very quickly.
The waiter was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.
I ordered a chicken dish with pasta. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Everything was cooked nicely, sauce was very tasty and pasta was al dente.
Prices are very reasonable.
Will definitely be returning
Came here on a Friday night and we had a great time!
The service was superb. Eddie and I believe Salvatore were our waiters and they both were so amazing and friendly. They made you feel comfortable and happy.
We got the caprese appetizer which was quite tasty and fresh. It came with peppers.
I got the scuglio seafood entree. It had a nice variety of mussels, clams, shrimp, and i asked for whole wheat pasta which they were able to give to me. I ate it all, besides some of the pasta.
For dessert, we got the tiramisu (THEE BEST EVER). It is a must have! I dont care how full you are- its sooooo good.
This place is BYOB so we were able to have some wine and beer with our meal.
Prices were very reasonable.
I highly recommend coming here.
My family reserved a private room for a party of 35-40 people. This was our first time hosting a family event here and had no idea what to expect… BUT the service was incredible! There were two servers for the entire party. Normally, you'd expect the service to be sloppy with bigger parties but not here. They were quick, attentive and very efficient. I dont think anyone had to ask for anything more then once.
The food was equally impressive. Assorted antipasto served family style followed by a four course meal.
– Antipasto included Fried Calamari, Eggplant Rollatini, Mussels Marinara, Caprece, Clams Oreganata, and Brushetta a Modo Mio. Being a seafood lover, the seafood dishes were my favorite! The seafood was fresh and very well flavored.
– The Mixed Green Salad with tomatoes was average. The mayonnaise dressing was a bit overpowering.
– The Penne Vodka was a classic done right.
– For the entree, your choice of Chicken Francese, Veal Rollatini or Salmone Al Vino Bianco. The Salmon dish was light, had a nice hint of garlic and lemon but needed salt.
– Dessert included shared plates of Tiramisu, Almond Cake, Cheesecake, Chocolate Cake and Lemon Meringue Pie. The Tiramisu was one of the best I've ever had and the Almond Cake was a family favorite.
A great option if you're looking to host for a larger party. For only $35 a person not including tax and tip, its a steal for the amount of food and the top notch customer service.
Love this place! This is my family's go-to Italian restaurant when they're up here visiting. I've tried a variety of dishes here and have yet to be disappointed. Their menu offers a nice selection to choose from, but if that's not enough for you, they always have a wealth of specials daily.. and when I say wealth, I mean I start feeling sorry for the waiter who has to have it all memorized, only for me to ask him to repeat the first 2 because I forgot them already. Most recently I had the chicken special (pictured below), and it was fantastic. Had some leftovers to take home too, which is always a plus. For the quality and portion size, their pricing is very competitive.
Atmosphere is casual, yet sophisticated. Typically an older crowd when I go, but I think that's mainly because my parents like to go at 5pm. I've also been there for a girl's night and had a great time.
BYOB. Excellent service. Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful. I never have room for dessert, but I think next time it's a must!
I came here for a large group party where we had the restaurant to ourselves.
Food:
I got to taste their Penne Vodka, their Chicken Francesca, and multiple desserts. Everything was very yummy. Their desserts were very delicious….from the cheesecakes to the tiramisu to the cream pies. Yummy!
The one thing I did not like was their Ceasar salad…it tasted way too fishy for me. I know there is anchovies in the dressing but usually I don't taste it but this time, everything was very fishy…I could not east the salad.
Atmosphere & Service:
Atmosphere was nice…lots of cute little sayings on the wall like "live, laugh, love" so it was very cute. The decor was dark, like dark brown wood and settings. The whole place was not very bright.
Service was OK. I am not sure if this was the party not starting on time or the wait staff was slow to do things but we got our food very very late. People were starving and we were waiting for a long time. Again, this might not have been them but I don't know.
Parking can be a little tricky-You have to turn into the Kessler parking lot and then make a right to go into the back to park for the restaurant.
Neighbourhood Italian in Lyndhurst! okay little place BYOB. Solid family Italian restaurant. Friendly and decent service. Very attentive staff.
We had the stuffed mushrooms to start with and they were really tasty.
My wife had the linguine and clams with white sauce and thought they were delicious. I had the cavateli with brocolli suasage and olivi oil, very tasty and good sized portion.
We may return. Enjoyed our experience.
