Haven't been here in years and went for our Christmas dinner for work. Food was amazing!! Our waitress was very sweet and did great with our party of 10! Definitely will be back this week for a family dinner!!

My husband and I went for the first time yesterday evening with family and we loved it. The drinks & food were wonderfully delicious. I also want to thank Bruce for a great and amazing customer service. A spot I will definitely recommend to visit and try out!

Wow, hidden gem of italian cuisine. Lots of choices! Great selection of wines also. Enjoyed dinner in this beautiful brick wine alcove. Food delicious, reasonably priced, excellent service. Definitely going back. Don't let the outside fool you.

One of our favorite places to dine! We love the back restaurant for lunch and the front restaurant for a more formal dinner! We have never ever had a bad meal here! Service is great... Food has always been great! We are always treated kindly and respectfully! We have had many holiday get togethers here and they have always exceeded our expectations. Looking forward to our next meal at Fazzolari‘s!

This place shockingly was not busy at all, maybe 2 full tables in the whole place. Not sure if that’s normal for them but they definitely deserve more recognition!!! PROS: espresso martini was absolutely made to perfection! I order them pretty much every time I go out and this one was extremely good. I ordered one of their specialty dishes (sacchetti champagne??) but it tasted so so good!!! One of the most unique and tasty dishes I have ever had from an Italian restaurant and I have never found this one elsewhere. The lobster ravioli was also very flavorful and delicious, even the tomatoes were wonderful!!! CONS: normally I can list out cons but on this place I really can’t. Even after getting our check and paying our bill, we sat around and no one bothered us to leave! It was amazing! Overall, I would give this more than 5 stars if I could, but I highly recommend coming here. They have 2 parts, a front and back and both have different menus to fit every occasion!

Beautiful restaurant with lovely bartenders and service staff. It looks like a beautiful Italian villa on the outside. The set up both at the front bar and back restaurant is well lit and nicely put together. The furniture is beautiful and the staff are very accommodating, as it was hard to get into their high chairs at the front bar so I was able to get one a little shorter so I could be comfortable and spend time w my aunt, who I hadn't seen in almost 10 years. The drinks are very well made, the food is absolutely scrumptious, everything I tried during my multiple visits on vacation to see my aunt were exquisite. Everything from the chicken wings to the portobello small plate... not small at all and the best portabella anything Ive had in forever. The food is a little pricey but it's absolutely worth every penny. 100% coming back this summer when I visit my aunt again. If you are anywhere near south jersey, or even swinging close to that area, you need to give this place a shot. You won't regret it.

Me and my Husband decided to go to this beautiful restaurant last minute we actually chose this place over Joe Italianos Maplewood and we are so glad that we did! Everything was absolutely delicious. First we got two appetizers the stuffed sausage long hots and the bacon wrapped scallops which were so good then I ordered the Lobster Ravioli which tasted homemade and the sauce and toppings were perfection and my husband ordered the Chicken Francaise which he absolutely loved and they both came with a choice of soup which we got the crab bisque which was also homemade with lots of lump crabmeat and also delicious! The waitress we had was very nice and attentive and timed our meals and appetizers perfectly and the atmosphere was beautiful! This will definitely be our new go to restaurant for Italian food! Overall 10 out of 10 experience and food was excellent! We will definitely be back!! Next time we’ll be sure to get desert as well! A little pricey but totally worth it! Highly recommend and I never write reviews but I had to for this place! Amazing thank you for making our 8 year anniversary very special with amazing food!
