Food is ok . Everytime we try to eat here always nothing is available . We travel 45 minutes . I think they should be flexible . We called and ask if they take reservations they said no . We got there 6pm they said they don't take anymore customers. If you don't take reservations and you closed 9pm . You mean you let those last table eat for 3 hours ? Anyway just a thought.

Amazing amazing food. The arancini balls were out of this world!! The linguini pasta and house garlic bread made the decision to dine in absolutely worth it. And not to forget, the staff here is very friendly and courteous. Will be back again soon. And yes Highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a fantastic dining experience.

Hosted a private event for my husband’s Birthday & it was enjoyed by all! The food, the service, the staff. Everyone was so accommodating from start to finish with the planning process. My guests raved about how delicious the food was and just how overall a nice time it was having the whole restaurant to ourselves. I highly recommend throwing an event there!

Fantastic meatballs and garlic bread. Great portions of homemade pasta. Best service we've had in a long time. Extra attention to detail and the staff worked together to make sure we were never in need.

Don’t waste you’re time going to this place if you don’t live in Denville. Second attempt driving 35 minutes to get on wait list and sold out at 3:30pm. The pasta shop should have a better system, or clearly state if your not within a five minute drive don’t bother coming as everyone gets on list at 12pm. Disappointed and won’t be back to try again.

The best Italian in NJ !! Best food !!! Great atmosphere .. only downside is very small place and hard to find a table . Had to go there @4.30 pm for dinner reservation to get a table !!! The food was fast served and it’s a BYOB (they had some wine options there as well) . People are very friendly and everything they recommended was perfect !!! Our waiter Mr.Aidan was one of the best waiter I have ever had in any restaurant . Their Burrata Mozzarella and garlic bread is a must try !

We stopped in tonight for takeout and we were not disappointed. Having read reviews and heard from friends how busy it can be, we opted to make sure we could get the food we were so excited about. We got the bruschetta, meatballs, smoked ricotta cavetelli and spaghetti carbonara. Everything was delicious and exceeded our expectations. The one thing I'll say is we never got a text letting us know our order was ready but maybe I misunderstood that that was supposed to happen. Both past dishes were flavorful and delicious. The bruschetta was incredible...so much truffle flavor. The meatballs were moist and flavorful. The staff were pleasant, friendly, and efficient. We will 100% be back.

I can’t remember the last time I went out to eat and everything was amazing! We waited an hour and after the experience we had I would wait three. Our waiter was fantastic. Please don’t change a thing!!
