Die besten italienischen Restaurants in South Orange

Food was sensational. I guess it was the first night of a new menu so it was a bit slower, but we really enjoyed our dishes.

Wait staff seated us immediately and menus were provided. We loved the wild mushroom soup special which was creamy and very savory. Tre colore salad was wonderful and dressed perfectly. Our calamari was too heavily breaded and a tad overdone. The marinara, that accompanied the calamari, was bright and flavorful, although I like it spicy so I added some hot pepper flakes. I really enjoyed my scallops, Sicilian style, with capers and olives in a white wine sauce. My request for spinach instead of pasta was immediately granted. I truly appreciated that. My husband felt the rack of lamb was just okay. The cappuccino gelato had a strange texture, kind of gummy like it was dried out. The chocolate gelato texture was fine and had a nice flavor.

Exceptional food quality was exceeded only by the extraordinary service our table received.

This is my go-to place for lunch when I’m looking for something a bit more upscale than the mall, but still casual. The food is delicious and the service is fantastic. It feels special in here, without the outrageous price tag or pretentious air.

The service was fantastic. The food plentiful and delicious - would highly recommend especially the Penne Alla Vodka.
