Food and service were excellent! I highly recommend this place, they have a liquor license, however they allow you to BYOB.

To start off, I believe that I have been here before, but maybe not. This was before I started writing yelp reviews though, and i'm here now! Andreas is a local staple in Waldwick, NJ, that serves Italian Fare food. Went here on Thursday July 17th 2025 with my parents and my cousin, and his friend. We made a reservation in case it was busy there, and good thing, because around 7 or so it was starting to get busy! Highly recommend one does make a reservation. Was greeted by a host, who sat us at a table. Duly note, I did feel a little chilly, but always bring my sweater for that reason. The table was set with a wine glass, and a water glass, and silverware. perfect for an eventful dining experience. Our server came over right away and introduced himself. Only con is I really couldn't understand him that well, especially when he stated the specials. Anyways, we started with 5 waters, and some also ordered titos with sprite. My cousin also brought some wine with him- not sure if this place is BYOB (bring your own booze). We started off with Fried Calamari, Tomato and Mozzarella, and Zuccinhi Fritti. Food came out in a timely manner- we also took a while to look over the menu. I enjoyed the Zuccini and fried calamari! Finally we decided what we wanted-- I ordered the Zuppa De pesci, which was pasta with mussels, salmon, calamari, shrimp, and scallops. Some of the other dishes my party got was the scallop scampi, and some veal dish. I very much enjoyed my seafood entree- oh and the salad came with it too! I ate most of my meal, but then also took some leftovers home with me. Oh, and the server didn't quite communicate with me that they box the leftovers, but once i got the message, it was all good. Paid via a gift card, then the balance with a credit card, and left a cash tip. Highly recommend stopping at Andreas in Waldwick! If we are ever in the area again, would definitely go! read more

Cozy local Italian with really nice service and solid food. Full bar plus the option to BYO wine. Mussels marinara and potato croquettes were really good apps, and the filet mignon Murphy was a delicious twist on a usual chicken dish. We will be back. read more

Great food one of the best in the area. We greatly enjoy their lamb chops and filet mignon Murphy! Service is good. Ambiance is cozy In a day when everything costs a lot they provide bruschetta, biscotti, and chocolate covered bananas. Delicious! read more

Great environment, great food, magnificent all the way around. Easy parking, great value.

Food was good. Unfortunately they have an unwritten 90 minute rule to eat dinner and leave. Their staff is as rude AF. They make snide comments under their breath and make customers feel uncomfortable and want you out the door fast. read more

This is definitely a great place! The food, service and atmosphere were all wonderful. The portions of food are very big ( which isn't a bad thing! ) and we're all cooked perfectly. I love my entree. One of the best fish dishes I've had at a restaurant. And their desserts were divine. I will definitely be back! read more

My husband & I have been going to Andrea's since it was a storefront. We couldn't believe the awful meal we had for Valentine's. A stuffed zucchini was raw & uncooked, my stuffed fish was supposed to served on a bed or rice. The waiter said, " we don't have rice, no one ever noticed before, you're the first"! Then my husband's seafood pasta was with a sauce of colored soup, watery & no taste! We'll never be back! A total waste of hard earned money! Shame read more

Jimmy is the best server on the planet earth. Bartender Roberto runs one hell of a bar. Bartender Karen is a true professional who has a steady crowd at her reserved bar. Five stars across the board. read more

Went here again and got here at 825pm for dinner. They won't seat you past 830 and try to close at 9...so we quickly ordered our things and despite being so late everything was on point as usual! They serve complementary bruschetta and olives upon seating to prep your hunger game. The bees knees is prob my fav vodka cocktail and they even found a modelo for the hub. The bronzino special with asparagus, is a go to item for me! Get the "Bronzino Alla Stagione" which is a Bronzino Filet sautéed with Endive, Asparagus, Fresh Tomato, Black Olives & Garlic in A White Wine Sauce served with Spinach. It's delish and I'm not the biggest fan of fish but it comes out pipping hot and will not disappoint! The calamari was good but the bronzino will bring me back every time! read more

Very nice typical Italian restaurant. Drinks are awesome and service was good. Decor was a little old. Nothing extravagant food wise but everything tasted good and prepared well. read more

We dined here years ago before it moved locations, the menu was more classic, and the food was outstanding and memorable, but pricy. The ambiance was old and ran down, but the service was warm and caring. We dined recently, and the menu was more modern with unorthodox sauces and flavors that were under whelming, food lacked soul, and full flavor. The ambiance was modern and stiff, the prices were rediculously expensive & overpriced. The service was on the mark, but cold. Was reqlly looking for the experuence had had there before it moved. read more

I've been here several times for lunch with clients and this was our first dinner reservation at Andrea's. We experienced the worst customer service at this restaurant. The staff is confrontational and they do not value your business. There is no manager or owner present leaving the inexperienced hostess handling customer interactions in a very unprofessional manner. Going as far as talking back and insulting customers is an immediate dismissal in my business! I called the manager and left a message and still have not heard back which further solidifies this review and the lack of respect and customer service required to run a business. read more

I've been coming to Andrea's for years & can honestly say I've never been disappointed, and it remains one of my favorites go to spots. The food is GENEROUS portions, sometimes lasting 2 full meals (lookin' @ you, Chicken Milanese). I'm a sucker for solid cutlets, so naturally gravitate toward any dish with those. Some of my fave complimentary items are the bruschetta to start + the biscotti and choc covered bananas with dessert. Inside the restaurant is very family friend but also good for a date night or catching up with friends. The bar area is super small, so comfortable to grab a drink but I typically don't love eating dinner there. read more

First time here, came with two friends i ordered linguini with clams, which was perfect. tastes delicious. nice size portion.. my friends ordered shrimp scampi and chicken franchise. they both enjoyed their dinner. we order a blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert which was very good and perfect ending . overall food was very good. our waitress was Jasmine and she was excellent. the ambiance was very nice. very warm and inviting. i will definitely be back as there was plenty of items i'd like to try on the menu. i would of given a 5 star to my first visit here yet I asked to be sit downstairs and they sat me upstairs. their upstairs. It was very nice but not like downstairs. no apologies when i told them. and they didn't even try to sit be downstairs as i requested. read more

When you make reservation for the first floor due to physical issues, it is terribly disappointing to be told that you need to climb stairs to the 2nd floor. Food was good. Service was very good. Ambiance not so good. read more

Great Italian food Best I've had in a long time. Great Service and wonderful ambiance. 5 star read more

My 3 friends and I went for the first time as a group not first time as individuals and had amazing food start to finish. Appetizer, dinner and dessert was perfect. Had a few cocktails and they were just as good as the food. Waiters were super friendly and service was awesome! It was a busy Thursday night and we never felt rushed. Definitely a place to try on a date night too. read more

Eat downstairs if you can. The upstairs is a little sterile. Downstairs felt homey. Dishes were good, not great, and you will have leftovers. It's a solid place for a standard night out. By the way, salads come with most entrees so consider that when ordering. read more

Great food! Server was very knowledgeable and friendly. Food was very very delicious and good portions for the price. Salmon was cooked perfectly. Byob wine which is nice or they have a full bar you can order from read more

Came here with the family after my grandma's funeral, staff are friendly, restaurant is clean, and they have a nice little tent area for outside seating. Apps we had were the zucchini sticks, grilled calamari, and prosciutto wrapped melon. Zucchini stock were not crispy enough for me, but flavor was there, calamari was actually cooked well but under seasoned, and the prosciutto and melon was more melon than anything. Main course I got veal sorentino, which was thinly pounded veal with prosciutto and eggplant. Pretty good, everything cooked nicely, but very salty. Overall a great experience and nice atmosphere, but very high prices. read more

The service, the atmosphere, and most importantly, the food, suburb. I have been there twice now and have enjoyed every second of my meal. I had the veal braciole with gnocchi. Brought me back to my days with my grandma. The Neapolitan at dessert was the best I've ever had. My husband had the fruit de mare with capellini pasta. He also loved the tiramisu. I just love the food here. Cheers to Ben and the entire staff. read more

We've been coming here for 40 years. The food is outstanding and the waiters are great. Everything is fresh and service is perfect. Great cocktails! read more

Ate there last night for the second time... We were just recently turned on to this place. The food and service was excellent!!! However, we have to give a shout out to the hostess Gail that we hear is fairly new. She was absolutely AWESOME!!! Very accommodating and has a great sense of humor!!! What a hoot she is!!! We can't wait to go back!!! read more

Been coming here for decades, since Andrea was still cooking. They are a go to place for me even though I now live 300 miles away lol. Great food and great service. My now 33 year old daughter as a little girl always ordered the chicken parm and they cut it up for her before bringing it out to the table. I always come back. The veal chop Milanese is excellent. But the seafood is great too. read more

I came to Andreas for a Tuesday night work dinner. We called a few days ahead and made a reservation -- I would definitely recommend making a reservation, as there were not any open tables even on a Tuesday. Andreas has a nice ambiance and is dimly lit with very quiet background music. Service was friendly and prompt. We ordered several appetizers for the table (zucchini fritti, eggplant, shrimp cocktail, burrata) and all were very good, with the exception of the scallop special being absolutely phenomenal! The table ordered a variety of entrees, and everybody seemed pleased with their selection. I went with Cavatelli Estive. It had a nice flavor and was incredibly rich -- that coupled with the huge portion sizes, I barely finished half of it. Also a nice touch that entrees came with a green salad as well. Complementary dark chocolate covered bananas for dessert was a great way to end the meal. Overall, I had a positive first experience at Andreas. Decent menu selection, large portions, and attentive service. While on the higher expense end, Andreas did live up to my expectations for a finer dining experience. Great option for a date night or other special occasion. read more

Awful. I heard this place was good but I can't say to others to 'come here'. Overpriced. Poor cooking. read more

Enjoyed my meal here. Had blackened salmon and spinach which was presented and cooked perfectly. Multi level restaurant with a nice atmosphere and very good service. They have a bar but we were allowed to bring our own wine. Hope to return soon. read more

Their Chicken Parmesan in Vodka sauce is my favorite entree! Love it! Can't get enough of it!!!!!!!

I hate to write a negative review but think it's important for this restaurant which is known to be higher end to note how disappointed we were after dining here last evening. This was an early valentines celebration with my family and we were looking to change it up. We sat on the high tops by the bar section as we hadn't made a reservation for 5pm on a Sunday. Totally understandable. Our drink orders were taken right away but then it took 20 minutes to take our food order. I ordered a blackened salmon over a bed of lettuce. My husband inquired about a seafood pasta and specifically asked if there was any fish in the dish as he doesn't eat any fish. Our server replied no only selfish. Great! Shortly after our apps came out (no issues) but what got me is that when our entrees came out after waiting forever our apps were not cleaned off. Half the dishes remained on the table through the course of the evening clogging up the table. First major issue. Clock is ticking and ticking... where is our dinner? Finally it arrived. The seafood pasta had lots and lots of salmon. Huge chunks. Maybe due to the flavor it gave the dish but my husband couldn't even stomach it. He isn't one to send it back so ate a few bites and then left it. Issue number 2 my food wasn't what I ordered. Something completely different. So I had to sit while my family ate while they went back to cook it. When everyone was done eating mine finally came out. Issue number 3 our drinks were not refilled once through our entire dining experience. Issue number 4 no apologies. My kids said their meatballs were the worst they ever had (they are not picky eaters). My dinner was delicious as a side note but not what I would call a blackened salmon. There also wasn't any dressing that I could tell on the salad but that is okay because I prefer mine dry. Once all our dishes had been packed up and cleared away no one brought our check. Sat for another 15 minutes until we saw someone to flag down who brought it. Now this is 5pm on a Sunday shouldn't be that busy yet. For the price $$$ and the quality of food we will never ever be back. There are enough 5 star Italian restaurants that are always on point within minutes of this establishment. Yes one bad time doesn't mean future bad times but again when there are so many other amazing places no need to risk it. read more

Delicious! Can't wait to go back. So many things on the menu I want to try - glad our friends brought us here

Small intimate place with outstanding food. We were able to bring our own wine even though they have a bar. Pasta was fresh and cooked perfectly. My wife had the salmon and loved it. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Attended a baby shower here. The lunch was held upstairs. The capacity was about 50 people. It was split among two long tables. The back wall was used to place a lovely dessert table. They had a nice sized bar. Staff was on point bringing out the food and drinks. They had a great handful of staff members on the floor attending us all. I liked that they offered dinner menus for their guests. These menus included the current date and full coarse options. Food was good. My only downfall was the pasta. It tasted a bit hard. Parking was super easy. I found a spot right in front of the restaurant. I did see an area for back parking. The downstairs appeared to also be nice and spacious. The decor gave it a nice classy look. read more

Finally a good experience in past month. Group holiday dinner - prearranged. But it was very good with straightforward old school Italian served nicely, prepared well and very satisfying. Most importantly the staff worked purposefully to make everyone happy - they couldn't be better. And very reasonable. Congrats to Andreas for doing it right. read more

A wonderful Italian restaurant with superior food and service. On a Monday night the place was busy--Andreas is great for a business lunch, ladies lunch or romantic evening. Will return to this establishment. Our waiter Bill has been with the restaurant for a long time and he deserves recognition as an accommodating server. He goes above and beyond to ensure that all goes well with your dining experience. read more
