Always consistently good food. Ample servings and pleasant wait staff. It's our go-to restaurant in Bergen County.

So disappointed with this spot , looked promising but did not deliver. Walked into a great decor really hip. We had reservations , I was excited to see a "fancy, hip" vibe. My excitement didn't last. We were brought upstairs to a big empty room that one would hold a repast dinner in! Brightly light no decorations and a huge flat screen tv that wasn't even on. Funny I seemed to notice that all the "younger" couples like us were ushered up there while all the "older" couples were sitted downstairs! Backwards no? The food was well, not great at all. My boyfriend had penne with vodka which tasted like cardboard. For the first time in nine years I saw him use salt! My salmon sounded promising but it looked more like salmon soup ! The beer I preferred honestly tasted like soap, maybe not rinsed enough? We wanted to stay originally when we saw it on Yelp so that we could sit at the bar after dinner and have martinis but we just left and went elsewhere. The only positive is that our waiter was very good and the free chocolate covered banana at the end. Not somewhere I would go again. It's just a shame we were put upstairs like children because we go out to eat three to four times a week and they could have had new customers. read more

Best Italian food I've had in years. The service is excellent and the chicken parm is to die for. It's perfect for date night with low lighting and that romantic Italian feel. 10/10 will eat here again. read more

Excellent service. Good terrific. Swordfish cooked to perfection. Pasta just right. A must the Napoleon for dessert. I serving will serve at least 3. read more

Recently, we had surprise birthday party for my wife and 16 family members attended. They served 4 trays of cold antipasto and 5 trays of hot antipasto followed by salad and choice of 5 entrees. The food was ample and enough for many to take home. But most importantly everything was amazingly delicious. There were five waiters and they couldn't have been nicer- the service was flawless. Highly recommend Andreas for parties like this- wonderful. Bob Rizzotti Waldwick read more

We've dined here several times. The food and service is always exceptional. Thanks again !

4.5 Stars (Rounded up) They have a full bar as soon as you walk in but the best part is its BYOW (wine). We sat down and immediately the waiter opened our bottles. For the apps: Fried Calamari - Fresh, Crispy, hot and marinara was plenty flavorful Stuffed Artichoke - Decent sized and full of flavor and cheese. Burrata - Soft, creamy and nice and cold as would expect. Sausage, Long Hots & potato - The long hot and potatoes were amazing on its own, the sausage I was assuming was homemade and had a nice flavor just was a little over done for my linking Mains: Stuffed Rainbow Trout - Fantastic, stuffed with plenty of seafood and super fresh fish. The scampi sauce sat below and complemented it perfectly. I would get this again Surf and Turf - Average, as the meat was overdone but lobster was cooked well Swordfish - Another great piece of fish. Super fresh and had a nice sear and sauce to complement Steak Giambota - I did not taste this but looked really good!, huge portion. I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the meal. Everything was seasoned well and had a great taste.The only negative points was the place was pretty tight and felt a little rushed with the service. I like to relax and enjoy and not worry about rushing my apps to clear room for my main. The menu is a typical Italian restaurant but this if a par above your local Italian restaurant. I will be back. read more

Had my baptism celebration at Andrea's- I had never been but had heard good things. It was absolutely perfect. Many people from my party said it was the best chicken parm they have ever had. Also got rave reviews about the salmon dish and the veal. Great staff also made the experience perfect. The inside was also beautiful. I couldn't be any happier with the event or food! We will be back! read more

Palm Sunday/Easter Dinner. Ok we broke the fast just a little, but Ben from Andrea's out did himself! We just had to do our part to support our local business owners. Amazing food like always! Although we had to settle for take-out, and missed the country farmhouse ambiance, if you closed your eyes you didn't know the difference. Everything was piping hot and cooked to perfection, from the sear on the New York Strip and lamb chops, to the rich mushroom and artichoke flavors infused in to the Snapper Alla Etna! A home run! Thank you Ben! Ok we had one caveman at the table... read more

We recently held our daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner at Andrea's. Food was delicious and service was excellent. The staff had no problem addressing certain dietary requests and changes to the menu. The upstairs room is perfect for an intimate family party. We were more than satisfied how everything went. read more

The food is consistently excellent, and the options are endless. From apps to dinner to dessert- there is something amazing for everyone at your table. The servers, bartenders, and hostess are all very friendly and accommodating. Prices are a little high but it's worth it for the overall experience. This has been our favorite local Italian restaurant 20+ years. read more

This is one of the best Italian restaurants in Bergen County. If you don't see exactly what you want they can make it. The wait staff are all professionals and will make your dining experience wonderful. We have been ding here for years and never get disappointed. It's best to make a reservation since it is always crowded. read more

Great food and great service. Nice atmosphere. The food is always delicious and the red gravy is honestly one of the best in any restaurant. The only downside, beware of Zuppa Di Pesce. Not much shellfish at all and they loaded up with cheap monk fish. read more

Great restaurant! My family has had many celebrations here. They have a big room upstairs for private parties. Great food and service

Recently ordered the Seafood Ravioli. While good to eat, there were only 3 ravioli's served. The dish was $25, and only 3 Ravioli's!!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL AND SHAMEFUL. This is not anyway to hold onto patrons. Beware eating here.... hefty pricing for little food. read more

Another visit where they've overbooked! We had an hour to grab a quick dinner. The bar area was jammed with several couples and groups who also were told their reservation time was pushed back. Two groups were 45 min past their reservation time!. Both groups asked for the downstairs weeks in advance and when they showed up- offered the upstairs because they had filled up downstairs already. This has has happened to us also. The food is boring, tasteless and tired. it's not worth the aggravation at all! read more

We went for lunch and enjoyed it to the extent that we would go back. The blonde woman who served us was lovely. We enjoyed our lunch so much that we decided to get information on having an anniversary party for about 35 people at Andrea's. The website instructed us to call the restaurant and speak to "Ben" about private events. I left a voicemail for Ben several days ago and have not received a response...because of this I am giving only a 2 star review. read more

Considering this restaurant for your private event? Skip it and go somewhere else that respects their customer's time. Inquired with Kelly about a date for a private event. She said it was open but had to check with the owner. Never heard back from her had to follow up myself and she says "oh yeah the owner has something planned for that day" when were you planning on letting me know? Unprofessional in my opinion but consider yourself warned before you think about hosting a private event here. read more

Dined at Andrea's for the first time and enjoyed our time there. Good food and very friendly staff. Food was brought to us a reasonable intervals, timed perfectly. We sat upstairs and enjoyed the quite. Andreas is on our places to dine list. read more

When Andrea's first opened in 1984, my husband and I were one of their first patrons. Service the first few weeks was a little iffy, but the food was spectacular! Their veal was always one of my favorites - thin, tender and could cut with a fork - and their seafood was always fresh and cooked expertly. Great cuisine priced fairly and BYOB. A solid five stars! Over the years there were a few changes, one of which was expending into the space next door. Even with new space, this place was always packed, particularly on weekends. Food was always delicious and well prepared, and we frequented it often. Since the "old man" passed away, changes have happened, and mostly not for the better. The move to the former bank location in the same strip mall, while able to accommodate more patrons, was poorly thought-out. While waiting for your table at peak hours, it's a mob scene, people pressed against each other, so that patrons trying to leave or enter have a difficult time getting through. The bar area looks to be more of an afterthought and isn't comfortable at all. The above two transgressions could possibly be forgiven if the food did't suffer after the move. Clams were tough and fishy, the veal piccata, one of my favorites here, tasted old and the sauce lacked that piquancy associated with good piccata. My table mates didn't fare much better. Osso bucco which formerly had a robust flavor now tasted bland . . . and again . . . old. The gnocchi were overcooked and gluey. Service was wonderful, and our waiter was attentive and helpful. You can still BYOB even though they have a full-service bar. However, their food lacks the attention to flavor and freshness it formerly had - almost like it's an after-thought. We will not be coming back. read more

Food was good, people were bringing in their own wine. Or you can order your drinks by the bar. It was quite crowded. We sat down and were given the complimentary bread, bruschetta and olives. The eggplant rollantini was good as an appetizer. Word of advice though, it comes with a salad as well. So it turned into a lot of food with the added appetizer. Husband had the veal chop made into parmigiana and I had the Fettucini Alfredo which wasn't too rich or creamy and added some fresh pepper.. Dessert was okay, nothing special. But they did give you complimentary chocolate covered bananas and biscotti. I just wished that they slowed it down a bit. It seemed as if one course came right after the other was finished. There was no room for enjoying the wine and breathing to enjoy the course before the next one. read more

Absolutely love this place! I went here for a ladies night, and the food per usual was delicious! My favorite waiter, who forgive me if I get his name wrong, Thomas I believe.. (older gentleman), love him! He's so kind and always knows what the specials are without having to stop and think about it. He makes everything possible! Also, when I last went, our favorite bartender, Shea, wasn't there. I was going to ask, but our table was ready. Hope she's still there because it's been a bit since I have been able to get some time from the kids, and she's a riot! read more

Though I have only gone here a few times I have always enjoyed the experience. Good food and portions. The staff is very professional and best of all, even though they have bar, you can also BYOB and no corkage fee either. I have only dined downstairs and don't know about their upstairs arrangement. read more

Delicious Italian food. Have been here on multiple occasions and never disappointed. Last time I got the lobster tails which were delicious! read more

The bolognese at Andrea's ristorante receives a solid 7.5/10. The use of turkey meat was excellent. However, the sauce was a tad watered down. Peas in sauce was a downside. Yet, the pasta was cooked al dente and contrasted perfectly with the bolognese itself. Will Nicki be back for a good bite? Probably. -Lil Nicky read more

Great menu and great service. I tend to come here for a great meal. Recently had the sautéed soft shell crabs. They were so delicious. My Oysters Oreganata appetizer was equally tasty. I really like this restaurant. read more

We went with a group of 6. The service was OK. Food was just OK too. I asked to speak with the manager and the young lady who was greeting at the front advised that the manager wasn't in. The greeter had a pretty crappy disposition herself. There are better restaurants in Bergen county. Don't waste your time! read more

Been coming here for decades, but it's my first time in the new location. It's a beautiful interior. I really like the direction they took. I came here with work colleagues for a post-holiday lunch and they loved it. We all ordered off the dinner menu and each got a napoleon that neither of us could finish. read more

We had a fantastic meal here two weeks ago. Will definitely be back. I had the scallops and shrimp appetizer and a chicken dish with mushrooms and peppers that was outstanding. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Amazing!!! Andreas is top notch Italian. From the regular menu to the specials, you will not be disappointed. This visit we were with another couple and enjoyed the clams oreganata & fried calamari to start. We had Veal parmigiana and the fish special for our entrees, excellent and large portions. Moving onto desert with their famous Napoleon! Delicious! Andreas offers great atmosphere and attentive service. Perfect for a date night or large group. Can't wait to go back. read more

Wonderfully prepared dinner. Our favorite Italian restaurant. Service is first class, can't wait to go back read more

So surprised people like this place. Service was slow and close to non-existent. The waiter never came back once after the food was served. We had empty drinks for over 25 minutes. The food was very mediocre. We ordered 4 apps and 8 entrees and nothing stood out as above average. Wish we went to bottagra! Or even Limoncello. read more

If you can remember when it meant something special to go out to dinner and the waiters had class, with food that was made with a bit more panache, then this is the piece of nostalgia that you have been seeking. Never had a bad meal, from appetizer to dessert - always a treat to come here. read more

First time in the new location. Sauce was a little sweet, service very good, enjoyed the veal Marsala. Would definitely come back.

This time it was 8 of us. I'll list what was ordered and the opinion: Shared clams oreganato - great Fried calamari - perfection, Sautéed escarole with black olives- a little too saturated in oil Seafood ravioli- homemade high marks Gnocchi - again homemade happy uncle asked and received a half portion Sea bass- nice size portion succulent and flavorful Scungilli frabiablo. - I look forward to coming back and ordering it again Our waiter, Jose was excellent read more

Way overpriced for a strip mall restaurant! Had a seafood salad that was ok but not great,oily greens The swordfish was fresh but kind of bland tasting I did like the wood ceiling though...... read more

This was our first time dining at the new location and it is much nicer than the old location. However, as others have mentioned, it is indeed very noisy to the point of not being able to hear the person sitting next to you! Not sure there is much that can be done about this but it is important to mention nonetheless. Service was great all night. We arrived at 7:30 with no reservation, was told it would be about 20 minutes and we were seated in about 10 minutes. Our server was friendly and professional. When our meal was done he gave us complimentary chocolate covered banana's - a nice gesture. So why only 3 stars? Quite frankly, while the food certainly was not sub par by any means, we did all agree that the sauces are a bit light on flavor. I had the Veal Sorrentino - the portion was huge and the veal tender, but the sauce was a bit flavor-less. To me, the litmus paper test of a good sauce is when you feel compelled to soak it all up with your bread , which I did not feel compelled to do. Like I said.....not bad by any means but not over the top "best food you ever had." Andrea's sells liquor but also allows for BYOB which is fantastic. Recommended for sure. read more

My husband had my 50th Bday upstairs at Andreas's last Friday night. What an unbelievable night it was!! Service was spot on, and the food was great as usual. Even with a group of 54 people - all the food came out to the tables on time, hot and delicious. Best part of all was being made to feel like family while celebrating. They really took well care of us. Highly recommend the private room ( with bar) upstairs. You will be surprised at how reasonable the cost was for the fabulous night we enjThank you to Ben and the Andreas staff. read more

I loved Andrea's even before they moved to their new location. Since the move, the quality of the food has remained the same, and the addition of a small, but well-stocked eight-chair bar makes it even better. It's a great place to sit and enjoy a drink while you're waiting to be seated. They'll even give you some cheese and olives while you wait. Great atmosphere. Before the move, Andrea's was a BYOB, and even though they now have a fully-stocked bar, they still let customers bring their own bottle of wine, and they don't even charge a corking fee! (At least they didn't as of this writing... not sure if that will change... best to call before going.) My favorite meal at Andrea's is their Veal Chop Tri-Fungi, a pounded veal chop with three kinds of mushrooms and a cognac sauce. I usually order it when I go there, but on occasion I've tried some of their other items and I've always been pleased with what I've ordered. The salmon dishes are also very good. For dessert, you must try the Napoleon... large and light... very flaky... like no other Napoleon you've ever had. The service is normally very good... friendly, kind, knowledgeable waiters... and there is ample parking. Get there early on a Friday or a Saturday night. It's usually very busy... the sign of a good restaurant. read more
