Caffe Anello

You might not have known, but this amazing café is now offering brunch! And I was so excited to be the first in line! The owners wife came out, a baking marvel, and started us out with a sample of her Nutella bread pudding… Wow is all I can say! I didn’t enjoy a pair of martini, and my friend had a Nutella hot chocolate, which she did not share because it was so delicious. Then we had sausage and peppers, which had a little kick to them, and I totally was there for it, and also the meatballs, which were tender, tasty and delicious; could literally eat a whole plate of those with some pasta! I had some scrambled eggs, and the most perfectly cooked bacon with some potatoes, and I had to try their French toast of the month, which was pumpkin, too delicious and decadent! My friend, and I also shared an amazing Strati flatbread with figs. to end it all we were super spoiled with a slice of strawberry shortcake with real strawberries and real whip cream! Yes, I said real whip, cream, ladies, and gentlemen, run do not walk to this place, because I will absolutely be back for dinner!

The best gluten free pasta we have ever had. The carbonara was amazing, the sausage and peppers app was delicious. Service was top notch. Thank you so much. Authentic Italian worth your time and money.

I was dying to come here thinking I was going to have an excellent Italian meal because of the great reviews. Sadly, the food was just mediocre nothing was bad but nothing was great either besides the fresh baked bread and the desserts. They start you with the most delicious fresh bread here. For appetizers we ordered the burrata salad and the fried artichokes over polenta. The burrata was ok, but the salad was poorly dressed. The fried artichokes were over fried and hard, but the polenta was good. For entrees we had the seafood fra diavolo and the eggplant Parmesan. The seafood fra diavolo sauce had no flavor. The eggplant Parmesan was like something you would get at your local pizzeria. There was only one layer to the eggplant Parmesan which was also disappointing. The pasta was suppose to be homemade, but it tasted like it came right out a box! The pasta was a bunch of mush, and definitely not homemade! Desserts were OUTSTANDING! The owner's daughter owns Sogno Coffee House which is located right inside the restaurant. We had a Somoa cheesecake and loaded Oreo brownie both were DELICIOUS! The bakery is worth the drive, but food was not! We wouldn't come back due to the mediocre food, but we will definitely be visiting Sogno Coffee House next time in the area!

The host is so nice and even learned our names! The waiter was super attentive. The best fried mozarella ever! The sauce, the taste, so fresh. The main dish was wild salmon 10/10. Moscow mule fresh crispy and flavored! Good Proseco too! .will return to try the pasta dishes

This is an excellent spot for date night. Today was my first time there and I would definitely go back. So impressed by not only the delicious meals we had but also by the warmth and friendliness of the owner and staff. We were greeted at the door where the owner introduced himself to us. Drinks and meals were brought out in a timely manner. As we left the owner thanked us for coming and called us by name. Fabulous place. Can't say enough. Can't wait to go back.

We had the burrata, dirty pork chop, & chicken anello. The pork chop was very good. The chicken and burrata were fine. Felt the price of the food didn’t match the quality. Atmosphere was bleh

Everything about this place was excellent. The owner welcomes you at the door, extremely nice. The service was great. The best veal I ever had.

What a wonderful place. Their homemade pastas were some of the best. The cacio y Pepe gnocchi was worth the trip on its own. From a small cafe to a full blown upscale Italian restaurant, this place was a hidden gem. It’s sad to see them close and I hope whatever new venture they take on will be just as good.

I heard wonderful things about this place so my fiance and I decided to go out for a date night to see if this would be a good spot for our rehearsal dinner. The dinner, the drinks and dessert was PERFECT We were so pleased that we booked our rehearsal dinner that night. We look forward to that day as well as many future date nights ! Thanks to Johnny the owner for accommodating us and the entire staff for excellent service.

Great food I'm going to miss you to shame your closing down it' dear Johnny I'm going to miss your restaurant in I'm going to miss you Johnny it's a shame your landlord raise the rent myself the Shane Bruce raise your rent so high I'm going to miss you guys in it's a shame Bruce myself Rooney Westwood getting rid of a lot of stuff here in Westwood he owns half of Westwood I don't think that's right ​​ you know stop listening how do I stop this ​ th​

Incredible food. Each appetizer and main entre were perfection. I will definitely be coming back, some of the best italian food i've ever had!

Nice, very friendly place. Contemporary clean vibe. Street parking was no issue. Food was good but a bit gussied up for my taste. Veal entree was just ok. My wife's shrimp and homemade pasta looked fresh and well prepared. Pizza was good. Not sure it's a destination restaurant to drive 1/2 hour to.

Very pleasant and enjoyable. Pastries wonderful and wine good. Great outside setting for the after dinner drinks

Upon arrival, we were greeted with handshakes from a gentleman named Joe. That was such a pleasant and unique start to our dining experience. Our server was attentive and polite and the food was amazing. This was our first time here and we will definitely be coming back.

Came for dinner on a Saturday night. Place was pretty full but it's very spacious so it didn't feel too crowded. We were greeted warmly by Joe who took the time to remember our names. The servers were friendly. We had cocktails: the guava Cosmo for me and a mezcal Paloma for the hubby. I loved mine and ended up having two. He didn't care for his (not their fault, he just decided he didn't like the flavor combinations). He ended up with a mezcal margarita and enjoyed that. For my entree I had the ravioli carbonara and it was very good. The sauce was a legit carbonara sauce made with eggs and not cream (I make it at home and can tell the difference). Hubby had the Chicken Annello which didn't look very appetizing to me and which he said was only ok. We had the peanut butter pie for dessert and it was very good.

What can be said about Anello that hasn't been said in the consistent, highly well-deserved five star reviews?! Everything about Anello is a hit (to put it mildly) - especially now that they've added a full bar with incredibly prepared cocktails! I love a place where when you walk in you feel like family and that is absolutely the vibe that Anello brings to you. Same to when they were in their prior location, you are still greeted at the door, escorted to your table by Joe (such a charmer - I bet you to not smile when he welcomes you in!), and your server comes almost immediately after. John and Alissa along with their family have created an atmosphere that is so warm and welcoming, without any level of pretentiousness. You can feel the passion they have for what they do through every moment you're at Anello, whether there just for drinks or for a full dinner. The food has stayed consistently perfect over the years as well - despite moving to the larger space, the quality, freshness, and deliciousness of the food has stayed perfect. The rotating specials are always a hit (my husband loves the veal), and the seasonal menus change things up a bit, but you can still find your favorites there (or an iteration of them). I'm obsessed with the pesto ravioli and the eggplant parm, and my husband swears by the dirty porkchop as well as the chicken Anello. All are hugely portioned, freshly prepared, and the fact that the pasta is handmade gives it an absolutely unbeatable taste. Their app options are also always a hit - I could put their burrata on my "last meal worthy" list - it is absolutely perfection (and comes with their mind-blowing pesto, so if you're seeing a theme in my orders, you are absolutely correct). We always swear we're too hungry for dessert... until dessert specials are shared and we seem to find that extra room for the rotating offerings of different types of cakes and cheesecakes. They have NEVER disappointed (and we have tried a LOT of them). Definitely recommend saving room (or getting a to-go!) for some of these incredible homemade desserts. The new bar area doesn't require reservations, which is a nice way to grab a seat and some drinks and still get that family ambiance and vibe. The drinks we've had - Aperol Spritz and Old Fashioned - have been absolutely delicious (and I'm picky with my Spritzes - this one was perfectly made!). A place that delivers incredible food, outstanding service, perfectly made drinks, and owners who genuinely love their guests and the community?! Anello continues to be a true neighborhood gem that just keeps getting better. Cheers to the team, we can't wait to come back in! Thank you for delivering some of our favorite dining experiences.

3.5*s I had been to Caffe Anello a few years back, when it was mainly a bakery and café. However, they since obtained a liquor license and turned into a classy Italian restaurant and bar that I was eager to try. The staff was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our experience, which we did for the most part...However, we found a few issues with the food. First, the menu was rather limited, leaving us to select options that we were not super excited about. Secondly, the proteins all were either over-cooked or not prepared properly. Allow me to explain further. Our experience began with cocktails, and since many of the custom ones included sweet juices, I decided to go with my old standby - an Aperol Spritz. While the drink had a good deal of Aperol, which was my preference, it tasted off. I could not determine if it was the prosecco that they had used or if there was just too much club soda in it; either way, it was not great. One of my dining companions opted for the Mango Margarita, which she loved. She insisted that I take a sip of it, and I agreed that it was delicious. In addition to our drinks, we received a bread basket while we waited for our appetizers. The focaccia bread was infused with sundried tomatoes and olives, and it was served with a small bowl of aromatic olive oil filled with red pepper flakes. The bread was excellent, but our second basket looked like a bunch of leftover toast, rather than a cohesive unit like our first loaf. One of the appetizers that we shared was the Homemade Meatballs, which were great. Though we were unsure of the meat varieties that had been used, we believed them to be beef and veal. The rich pomodoro sauce, creamy whipped ricotta, and subtle Pecorino Romano that encompassed the balls were all fresh and excellent. We also ordered the Garlic Shrimp as another starter. While we loved the sweet champagne vinegar reduction with its infusions of garlic and citrus, we found the shrimp chewy and fishy. My Bronzino entrée was in a similar sauce, and the filet was similarly strong tasting. I did like that roasted red tomatoes and kalamata olives were used as garnishes for the fish, but the protein itself was just not flavorful. Other main courses at the table included a special Veal Parmesan and the Wild Salmon, both of which were overcooked. The meat was chewy, while the fish was dried out. The tomato sauce on the veal and the bourbon mustard glaze on the salmon were yet again winning toppings on mediocre proteins. I cannot emphasize enough that the staff and atmosphere at Caffe Anello could not have been any more welcoming, but the food preparation had its highs...and also, sadly, its lows.

Came for a birthday party on a Sunday. Parking is metered on street and limited. There are public parking lots nearby. Atmosphere is simple but classic. Service was attentive but sporadic. Seating was a bit awkward and tight but I imagine on a regular day the tables are separated. We had family style portions of appetizers that included Garlic Shrimp, Caprese salad and meatballs along with fresh focaccia bread. Main entrees were also served family style. Rigatoni Ameritricana, chicken piccata and eggplant parm. All we're good. Some needed salt and pepper as they were a bit bland. Overall it was good. I'd be interested to come back and enjoy their full menu.

Had not been to Caffe Anello in a few years- previous meal there was delicious and you felt like you were having a fine dining experience. Sadly, not so much this time. Waiter clearly was inexperienced (not a deal-breaker) but the food was expensive and lackluster. Appetizer was huge slabs of generic mozzarella with arugula and an unremarkable dressing. My wife had fried artichokes which were a bit better but kind of heavy. She had a ravioli dish that was ok, my lasagna was a bit mushy and unremarkable, served with (I think) 3 shrimp. Dessert was a peanut butter pie which tasted fine but had a hard shell of thick chocolate that you could not penetrate with the spoon it was served with. Overall, $200 for 2 drinks, two appetizers, two pasta dishes and a shared dessert seems kind of steep.

Family owned caring family and staff great food, deserts aren't slices they are slabs, meatballs are to die for! Try the lychee nut martini's and say hi to Joe!

We have been going to Caffe Anello since it was a small venue without a liquor license. It used to be a good experience and a good value...sadly, that is no longer the case. Why? Here are the details of our dinner (for 4) last night: After being seated (by owner Joe Napoletano who makes a point of remembering your name), we could tell right away our waiter had no idea what he was doing, since he didn't know the difference between a Martini and a Margarita. When we asked what kind of vodka was available for a martini, he had to check twice before we got an answer. It was also very difficult to understand a word he said. That's Ok, we said, we'll give him the benefit of the doubt. We ordered 2 starters- the Meatballs (fan favorite) and the Garlic Shrimp. After about 15 mins, the starters came, but no drinks. Meatballs were good, shrimp was OK. After asking (twice) for the drinks, they finally came out after another 10 minutes (the starters were eaten by then). I ordered a dry Ketel One martini up with olives. Before I took a sip, I knew it was off b/c I could smell the vermouth. We thought it best to involve Joe at this point, who took the original and replaced it with another one. Unfortunately, the result was the same - a martini with a massive amount of vermouth. What kind of bartender doesn't know the meaning of "dry"? (obviously the Caffe Anello bartender....since "dry" means a whisper of vermouth, if any). When it was clear I didn't like the 2nd attempt, Joe actually looked irritated. So I just kept it since I was giving up at this point. The mains we had were the wild salmon (x2), the dirty pork chop and the NY strip. The waiter messed up our side dishes, but by now we actually expected that. The wild salmon was uninspiring (was it really "wild caught"? Of course the waiter had no idea) as was the NY strip. Dirty pork chop was decent. The best course was the dessert - a Reese's choco pie (very good). And what was the bill for 2 starters, 4 mains, and 5 drinks (4 cocktails and a glass of red wine)? $280 without tip. Poor service, uninspired food/drinks and $70/person? Not a winning formula, and sadly our days of going here are over.

So every time we go to Caffe Anello, we seem to have a "best ever" moment. Like "this was the best we ever had". The other night it happened again. The tomatoe soup appetizer was honestly amazing and the best we've ever had. But its also the little things. the olive oil is the best ever. the meatballs are the best ever. And the rest of our meal was fantastic. the artichoke appetizer, salmon and dirty pork chop were all really well prepared. And the service is always the best ever. But what makes it so special is that whenever we walk in the people there make us feel like family. It feels like Sunday dinner at home. All combining for a "best ever" dining experience.

The food was so mediocre, the garlic shrimp barely had flavor which was strange considering there was ample garlic but it almost tasted like cocktail shrimp in garlic - not cooked together. Meatball was decent. The fettuccini dish barely had any pancetta flavor, but overwhelmingly peppered. Chicken was just ok. The portions were small considering price. Owner was very friendly - if I wanted friends instead of food, the review would be better.

The food is delicious I had the eggplant parmesan. For dessert my friend and I shared the s'mores cookie. So yummy! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely would come back! Authentic Italian restaurant.

Fantastic! Love the food and service. Best in the area. Great quality. Wish other places were as good.

This was our first time dining here. The atmosphere was lovely and the servers and the staff were so gracious. We had the fettuccine and the eggplant parmigiana and they were both delicious. The pasta brought back memories of Sunday dinners at my grandfather's. The desserts were decadent and delicious. We had the Almond Joy cheesecake and the chocolate peanut butter pie We will definitely be back!!!

Very good food in a nice atmosphere. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. The bartenders make a very nice drink

Caffe Anello has great food and friendly service! The eggplant is great. A good choice for a nice dinner out

You are welcomed by Joe who greets by your name. The restaurant feels roomy and clean. I took a picture of the menu. Not a large selection in the menu, so you would expect each dish would be have been perfected. Appetizers Garlic shrimp is awesome. One of the best shrimp appetizer I had. I wish I had bread leftover to finish the sauce. The issue is the price. $19 for 6 medium size shrimp as an appetizer is a bit much. If you don't mind the price, it's an awesome dish. Meatballs It's good but nothing special to warrant $18 as an appetizer. Winter salad. $18 for a small plate of arugula, pomegranate, and clementines is a bit much. It's a good salad, but should be around $13 Bronzino Cooked perfectly. I strongly recommend it and I don't mind the price. Fettuccine $29????? Small portion. It's good but $29 for pasta. Ravioli $32 for 6 raviolis. It's good but.... I really like the service, BYOB, roomy feel, great food, but the price. I think the appetizer prices should be lowered by a few dollars. Pasta dishes need some price adjustments. Maybe it's the Inflation and I just need to get used to these prices. It would have been a 5 star but they lost a star because of their prices.

Host is over friendly and doesn't offer much selection. Expensive and atmosphere is odd. Chef is good and puts his heart into his career just would like to see more variation to the menu. Bring back mushroom soup the best I ever had but could never get it again

This is an excellent spot for date night. Today was my first time there and I would definitely go back. So impressed by not only the delicious meals we had but also by the warmth and friendliness of the owner and staff. We were greeted at the door where the owner introduced himself to us. Drinks and meals were brought out in a timely manner. As we left the owner thanked us for coming and called us by name. Fabulous place. Can't say enough. Can't wait to go back.

I definitely recommend this restaurant. Started with the meatball appetizer then lasagna and chicken parmigiana . Pastas are homemade. The food was delicious . The ambiance was simple and cozy. There is a nice bar area with good cocktails. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Fabulous food, great ambience,fabulous staff, excellent meatballs, great strawberry cake

Great little cafe ! Delish cakes and pastry, they are on too good to go app as well !!!

Ravioli was best I've had since my grandmothers and that was 40 years ago. Service was good. Owner was very friendly.

This Italian restaurant moved several years ago to its new location as it expanded. At the old one, you could get a table close to the prep area and see your good being prepared. John, the owner / chef, has a top quality team preparing food that is delicious and prepared as you like it. From your entry when you are greeted by his uncle to the waiters who know every ingredient, you are a king / queen. He brings in ingredients fresh from a farm in Sussex county. Reservations suggested and they are open only for dinner. There is a new cocktail area with appetizers that just opened. It's a feast for your eyes and stomach when you go there. Leftovers expected to be brought home

Never been to Cafe Anello despite living within 10 minutes travel time for many years. Just tried it last night and should mention we got there late (just before 9pm) when there were but only 3 or 4 tables still occupied. My wife and I ordered two entrees from their specials for the evening. We never begrudge a restaurant for prices they charge, as long as the quality is worth it. But $51 for a veal parmigiana that quality wise doesn't even equal what you might get at a diner is just wrong. The fact that you don't mention that exorbitant price when you announce your evening specials is also wrong. Our server who told us that it isn't proper to mention the price of specials - is also wrong. We've been to many high quality restaurants who inform you of prices when announcing their specials for the evening. But paying high prices when the quality warrants it is acceptable - paying $51 for a dish that is so lacking in taste and quality is wrong. Will not be going back again.

Stopped by last week with my family to grab drinks at the bar, was ignored by the bartender for 15 minutes so we left. Will not be back.

OUTSTANDING! I had the dirty pork chop, PHENOMENAL! My husband had surf & Turf. He fell in love again. My daughter had the raviolis MAJOR WOW! The fried artichokes hearts were perfection! I am a great cook so I'm not so easy to please or impress. Thank you Marvin!

A group of us decided to celebrate a Birthday recently...... 2 of us Ordered the Special "Veal Chop parm"......... It was not cooked enough for one of us and returned.....this also disrupted the flow of our evening and created a disruption for all other attendees. the 2nd chop was "Fair" at best..... What they defined as a "Chop" was questionable at best..... Other dishes where fair....... I'll pass next time....

this is my absolute "go-to" place - always welcomed with a smile - the servers are pleasant and accommodating without being overbearing; they allow you to enjoy your experience and still stay on top of everything - and the food, the food, is simply fabulous and very high quality and always delicious - a truly overall wonderful experience; every time!

Sat right away, Waiter was attentive and knowledgeable whatever we ordered came fairly quick. That's pretty much where the positives ended. Overpriced with small portions. Got a $57.00 veal chop that was inedible was like eating apiece of rubber. Order chicken parm which was another $36.00 tiny portion and I as served on the bone. $29.00 order of pasta which was literally the size of my fist. This place used to be good. They must be under new management. We won't be back.

Enjoyed delicious food & top notch service at the Tuscan Dinner at Sunset View Farm in Lafayette NJ. Can't wait to get to the restaurant!!

One of our absolute fave places! The meatballs melt in your mouth! The place is super clean, service is wonderful and super friendly! One of my fave things is the fried artichokes! Flakey, stuffed with goat cheese and served with love! We can't wait to come back and enjoy more items!

Limited menu, limited portions, limited gourmet for high prices. And limited "Italian bread" served cold.

We were a first time group of 6. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm hello from Joe! Brand new bar is beautiful, drinks were perfect! Tried their clean, soft tasting tequila and delicious Bourbon! Our waiter... impeccable!! Been to many top restaurants, this guy is first class, top notch, friendly, gets it to you before you even ask for it, kind of waiter! Thank you for making our evening greater! Food so yummy! Apps were tasty & spot on, followed by the scrumptious entrées, perfect size portions all around. Yes, we will be back to join the family for another amazing meal.

Deliciously fresh food! Everything I've ever had, has been amazing! The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable as well.

Simply stated, Caffe Anello is the best Italian restaurant in Bergen County. It's been the "go to" for me and my wife for a while now. The service is second to none. They make you feel like family. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with an open kitchen. The food...well the food is top notch every single visit. We love the fried mutz as well as the fried artichoke hearts for apps. The Veal (usually a special) is pounded thin and typically served on the bone. It's remarkable. From spaghetti and meatballs to their signature Chicken Anello, you won't find a better dining experience in Jersey. Oh, and DO NOT miss their homemade strawberry shortcake for dessert.

After having a memorable dining experience at the old location across the street, I have been wanting to have dinner here since they moved locations. To celebrate our engagement directly after it happened, my fiance surprised me with dinner reservations! Let me tell you, dinner was the most perfect start to our celebration. With the current circumstances with COVID, Chef Johnny went above and beyond to ensure his guests have a comfortable dining experience. The tables are more than 6ft apart and they installed top of the line air filters. Not to mention all of their staff wore masks appropriately! The staff was attentive and friendly! Now let's get to the food- the quality and flavor of ALL of our dishes were beyond fantastic. It's not your average Italian food. It's evident how there is so much love that goes into the cooking. We ordered the garlic shrimp, Chicken Anello, Carbonara Ravioli, and had the tri-color cookie (but in cake form). As much as I loved every bite of each meal, the garlic shrimp is a MUST- excellence in every single bite! Ugh I can dream about this meal. In addition to how wonderful this dining experience was- Caffe Anello is BYOB! And if you forget your bottle, don't worry there is a liquor store next door.

My experience not so good. Ordered simple veal parmigiana not a chop just a cutlet. no I did not ask the price why should I? I'll tell you why it was $57.00 that's right $57 bucks they don't even charge that in nyc. Asked for owner basically told him I thought it he was over charging he disagreed was quite condescending to me offered to take a big $5 off the check.. said take that and be happy or do what you gotta do when I said I was going to give a poor review. he said well then pay the whole check and literally threw it back on the table and walked away. I don't give a damn that he owns the place he literally said the customer is always right then disrespected my friends and I by throwing that check back on the table. Never should an owner treat customers they way. much better places that treat you nicer right around the block.

Without a doubt worth a visit. Staff and service were professional and prompt and everyone was extremely friendly. We came with a party of 7 so I can say we tasted a good variety of dishes that showcased the menu. Dinner starts with fresh made bread piping hot from the oven. The burrata arugula salad topped with truffle pearls was phenomenal. The meat and cheese board is a great sharing option. We also had several pastas and they came out perfect al dente. We ordered 2 steaks dry aged 28 days and this was the only disappointment of the night. They weren't bad but compared to the quality of the other starters and main entrees, they seemed lacking a bit of flavor. The steaks were also very thin (not like a thick cut you would get at a steakhouse) and one of the strips we ordered came on the plate a bit curled up like you made it at home on a pan. I was not expecting this for a $50 steak. The make their desserts in house and it shows. The strawberry shortcake and chocolate cake were excellent and I'm definitely going to explore whether they make whole cakes to take home since I believe they have a cafe next door. I'm deducting 1 star only for the steak but quite frankly, as a whole, the experience was top notch. Excellent food and great service.

5 star experience. I Can not say enough about the friendliness of the staff. The owner Joe made myself and the rest of those in my party feel like family, even my one year old daughter whom the staff frequently assisted in picking up her toys that she had thrown off of the ground. Staff was very attentive and Joe came by frequently to ensure our dining experience was up to par. Restaurant was extremely clean and well kept. We had the garlic shrimp and meatballs as an appetizer. Highly recommend both, meatballs were moist and tasty and the garlic shrimp were done just right, the sauce was delicious as well. My wife had the prosciutto and fig pizza which had a special crust, 5 stars hit the spot, was different but delicious. I had the veal and balsamic special. Veal was thin and crispy with loads of flavor. Everything was very fresh. We enjoyed the Nutella cheesecake for desert and it was one of then best cheesecakes I've ever had. Joe said that his daughter makes all of the deserts homemade and it sure tasted like it. Our meal from start to finish was exceptional. Happy to see such good people and an authentic Italian restaurant in this area. Thank you Joe and the rest of Caffe Anello for a great night out with my wife my daughter and my parents. We will be back soon! - Joe, Christina. Viviana, Joe and Roe

It used to be so much better. The original chef John no longer cooks. The prices are very expensive ($57 for veal cutlet or $56 for small rib eye steak) and the food is mediocre.

Haven't been here since pandemic. Decided to come a few nights ago with some friends only to find out that they are no longer BYOB and they now have a full bar where the bakery used to be. Was greeted by John- owner, wearing cargo shorts, tee shirt and sneakers (truly looked dressed to go mountain biking) who informed us that there would be a corking fee, he realized our surprise of this, and then added we "would not be clobbered" ( we brought our own wine cause we did not know he now had a liquor license) in regards to corking fee which he charges $25. As we are regular customers, we thought that to mean he would let the corking fee slide this one time. But to our surprise he did not and when we asked the waiter, he brought the head waiter, who was rude and abrupt , then said he will get John but then came back to the table, just dropped the check and walked away. Not a single word . We were disappointed because if we are going to pay for a corking fee we at least expected the wine to be poured for us. On our way out, stopped to speak with John who had a an extremely bad attitude. John starts in with "when's the last time you were here?" Last time we were here?? How about the last time we arrived and your doors were locked! Or how many times I've called or messaged for a reservation, only to be told "sorry we have a private party on that day" John, we have attempted numerous times to dine at your establishment, you have got some nerve asking "when's the last time you ate here?"! Overall, we were extremely disappointed with the lack of customer service and terrible attitude from the head waiter and especially the owner John. Considering the prices charged, and how many people we have introduced to this restaurant, John should have chosen to take the higher road! Summed up, our dissatisfaction and disappointment was truly about the poor and disrespectful attitudes of management and especially the owner! Needless to say, we will NEVER be returning to this establishment again. We dine out a few times a week with friends, family, clients..... our very disappointing experience on 9/14/22 will surely be the topic of many future dinner table conversations, undoubtedly these dinners will be at other neighboring restaurants. Lots of empty tables on our visit..... Bad news travels fast! SHAME ON YOU JOHNNY!

No they think they are the Hottest thing that ever happened food is good but owners attitude low

The restaurant is lovely, the staff is warm and friendly and the cocktails are great. With that said, three out of our four dinners were inedible. Oversalted for the ravioli carbonara, undercooked veal special. The appetizers were fine. I should have shared our feedback while we were there, but I didn't.

Nice little restaurant. Food was good, and so was service. Fish dishes was very fresh and pasta was al dente. Portion was on the small side. The most memorable was owner greeting you by name, we had a party of seven, and he remembered each one of us by name. Great efforts to make guests feel welcome!
