Parking was not the most ideal. It took a bit to properly find a spot, granted there was a lot of snow leftover from the storm, but it was rather difficult to actually find a spot in front of the restaurant. Vibes: - Restaurant was dimly lit with little space between each table - Space felt cozy and warm Service: - Waiter was extremely kind and funny - Course timing was somewhat long but was easily forgiven based on how hot the dishes were Food: - Polpettone Della Nonna (lamb meatballs) had a citrus flavor to it, which was a nice surprise! It was different from the meatballs I've had thus far, but they were pretty salty... - Gnocchi al Gorgonzola was super creamy and rich in flavor - Hanger Steak was easily the most disappointing dish honestly. Portion size was a lot smaller than what was expected given how expensive this dish was read more

BV Tuscany 368 Cedar Lane Teaneck, NJ 07666 The cutlet and pasta were very tasty. The size of the cutlet did not disappoint. The red sauce and shredded parmesan cheese went well with the main and the side. The chicken parmesan is served with mixed vegetables. Substituting the veggies is not allowed, so I ordered a side of pasta for an upcharge. Although I enjoyed this meal, the minor drawback is the substitution policy. In my personal opinion, I feel that pasta is the ideal side dish for any CP entree. Vegetables should not the side dish unless I'm ordering chicken marsala or chicken francese. Otherwise, I was still satisfied with the food, service and overall ambiance of the restaurant. read more

Food was good, tables are tight, parking stinks and staff friendly. I had an artichoke that reminded me of my grandma. The pasta with seafood, shrimp and crab was tasty, however, the crab barely made an appearance. Thus I over paid for a basic pasta dish. read more

BV Tuscany Italian took me by surprise. I have passed this restaurant a million times and this was my first visit. As soon as you enter, you start to take in the look of a NYC elegant eatery. The decor is beautiful, the wall art depicts Italian landscapes, and each table displays a charming and intimate setting. Then, you're greeted by a very friendly, professional, and attentive staff member. I haven't experienced service like this in too many other places. From start to finish, staff members were either filling water glasses, asking if you would like a beverage refill, removing empty dishes, or replacing used cutlery.... at the perfect moments throughout the meal. The appetizers were both fresh and were great choices: Burrata & Tomato special and the Salad special (Mango, arugula, tomato, nuts, and the optimal amount of vinaigrette dressing). Each and every entree was exquisite: The most delicious Branzino ever tasted (vegetables and potatoes), Ravioli Cuatro Formaggio, Octopus (Risotto) special, and scrumptious Pumpkin Ravioli. I am so glad, that I decided to enjoy dinner at BV Tuscany. I will, most definitely, return and highly recommend it. read more

We have been to this place before and always love it. They have the most amazing staff, Nick offered outstanding service, he is entertaining and has a fantastic personality. The food is really good, especially the pasta dishes. I had the Capellini tutti mare which featured so much seafood that I couldn't even finish it. Delicious little neck clams, tender calamari, and lots of decadent shrimp. The seafood was so fresh it was great. But the best part was the smoky flavor. It was so good I would come back just for this dish. The place is small and quaint but busy with people talking and truly enjoying themselves. They make a homemade ricotta cheesecake that is truly decadent. This place is a must if you want some good food and a great time. read more

Best Italian food I've had in NJ. I don't even need to write anything more. Just go there.

We met some friends at BV Tuscany for dinner the other night and were all impressed. The small, cozy restaurant was romantic, and the staff was just as charming. While they did not offer a private parking lot, there were plenty of street spots available, especially for a Friday evening. Our group was seated at a 4-top table in the front corner near the window, which we found comfortable, despite the overall tininess of the place. We had two waiters during our meal, but they worked together seamlessly, taking turns throughout the evening. One of them came over and shared the lengthy list of nightly specials with us, while the other helped me select a bottle of wine. I opted for the dry, fruity Ruffino Chianti Classico from Tuscany. The red blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon was not exactly the perfect pairing with our entrees of chicken, pork, and seafood, but it was just light enough to work. Speaking of our entrees, I selected the Salmone in Zucchine, a dish about which I was very curious. I could not fathom how salmon wrapped in potatoes AND zucchini would look. It turned out that the filet was topped with a large pancake made of the two ingredients. This patty was good, but heavily fried and oily. The fish was similarly decent, but could have used a touch of salt. The salmon was paired with roasted potatoes, spinach, and green beans, though I asked for extra leafy greens instead of the beans. The spinach was cooked perfectly and had been seasoned with garlic. The few additional crispy potatoes on the plate were delicious. Overall, we were each happy with our main courses. The bread basket, however, left a bit to be desired. There were pieces of white and semolina bread that were dry and not very soft, as well as herbed breadsticks that were contrastingly delicious. We skipped dessert, though I did indulge in a heavenly Tiramisu Martini, which had notes of amaretto and coffee, as well as a ring of whipped cream around the top of the glass. It was unbelievably delicious! The friend staff and quaint dining atmosphere would be reason enough to return, but their food and beverages also evoked positive reviews. read more

Go here for good Italian food at reasonable prices. 4.5 stars. They also had a full bar. Nice atmosphere & loved the humor of our waiter Nick. Made a reservation through open table based on all the five stars reviews and now I understand why...I would def go back and try more things from the vast menu. We had the zucchini flowers, dumplings,carpaccio as appetizers and shared every hung with the table. 3 of 4 us ordered the Frutta de mar with lobster and we all ate 100 % of it. Other one had linguini & clams and enjoyed it also. The only big issue I had is appetizers came out cool and I would have preferred they were piping hot...especially since we had to place the order all at once so I assumed everything would be timed perfectly based on that requirement. Dinners came out perfectly and to the right temperature. I also had to ask several times for ice since my seltzer came out warm. The other minor issue was that I ordered a coffee and a several appetizers that didn't ever come but I guess they didn't hear us because they didn't wind up on the bill. Everyone enjoyed their food to the fullest and it was a perfect amount of food. I highly recommend this place...you know how every pizzeria has basic Italian food that is just meh? This is nothing like that, everything was delicious and fresh! read more

Once again a lovely meal at BV Tuscany. Started with an excellent martini, check out my video. We had the branzino, very reasonably priced and delicious. Salads and I had the linguini and clam sauce. The service here is fantastic. With drinks, wine and shared a desert and tip about 100 per person. Street parking in front, if not there's a bank around the corner. read more

This place is actually the best pasta I have ever had and I have been to Italy. It is such a nice treat and it is truly tastes straight out of someone's italian grandmas kitchen. High quality and high flavors. It is hands down one of my favorite restaurants and meals. A must try in North Jersey! Support this local business! read more

Found out BV Tuscany recently, it's a small intimate restaurant in Teaneck. Reservation is highly recommended for peak hours. They also take reservation for large group parties like birthday and other celebrations. There's a small bar area in the restaurant too. Food wise the restaurant is excellent. The Lamb meatball is soft and tender, comes with amazing lemon lime sauce. Seafood pasta and sea bass were their daily special entree. Seafood has plenty of mussels, big lobster, couple of shrimps and lots of squid. The sea bass very well cooked, crispy in the outside but soft and moist inside. We ended the dinner with a delicious creme bulee. It is a great spot for a date night or hanging out with loved ones while enjoying some tasty meals and drinks. read more

How many places can filet branzino only leaving two tiny bones? They did a great job. Drinks were good too. Nice spot I had never been to before. read more

Great local restaurant (semi formal/high end). The service is excellent. Lots options from the menu. We got lamb meatballs, sea bass, lobster/seafood and cream brûlée . All of it are good. Lobster maybe a little tap of seasoning will be even better. *reservation is highly recommended. Limited seatings (indoor/outdoor). read more

A friend recommended BV Tuscany, and I'm so glad we gave it a try. We had a 7:30 reservation on Mother's Day, and although the restaurant was packed, you'd never know it from the quality of the experience. The service and food were both outstanding, especially given how busy it was. We shared the burrata special and calamari to start, followed by four different entrées and every single one was a hit, which is impressive considering how picky my family can be. Our server was friendly, attentive, and well-informed, as was the rest of the staff. The team worked seamlessly together, and it's clear why this place is a neighborhood favorite. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Great food reasonably priced. The Bronzino is a staple for us whenever we eat here. The zabaglione made fresh at the table is to die for.

Hard to believe we never knew this place existed b4 now. Had a nice experience, food was very good and service was friendly. Ordered broccoli rabe, pappardelle with meatballs, and my wife had pasta and seafood. Everything was very good. read more

I was looking for a nice spot to have dinner nearby and I always see this place with great reviews so I decided to give it a try with my mom. We were seated near the window of this adorable dining room and from we sat down we were warmly greeted by our wonderful server, Benny. He went through the specials and addressed any questions we had. The menu looked fantastic but it seemed like it was one of those times I ordered all the wrong things. The octopus appetizer we shared was good but not enough to satisfy us. My rack of lamb was actually lamb chops that were undercooked, even for my taste, one actually was rare which I asked my server to have them cook properly. The vanilla panna cotta for dessert was nearly tasteless. My mom enjoyed her massive veal chop but was disappointed with her ricotta cheesecake. I definitely want to come back and try the pastas. read more

I'm visiting a good friend and for our last dinner we decided to get Italian. We found this lovely establishment on yelp, and decided to check them out. We are so glad we did! As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted. On an early Sunday evening the restaurant was about half full and we were seated right away. The gentleman kindly pulled out our chairs and shortly after we were given our menus by our server. He gave us a run down of the daily specials. If I could have, I would have ordered one of everything but sadly, there is only so much I can eat! We were given a selection of bread and some olives in olive oil. The bread was soft and the bread sticks were awesome. They had a great texture as well. They aren't the slim ones that are crispy but they were just crispy and soft enough. (You should just go try them since my description seems contradictory) We got the zucchini flower appetizer from the daily menu and it was divine. They were stuffed with cheese, fried and placed on a wonderfully seasoned red sauce, sprinkled with parm and a green. I could have eaten several more but my pasta was coming! If this is offered again when I'm here I might order a few servings (came with 2) and order a side of pasta for my meal! The cheesy goodness with that great sauce! (I'm making myself hungry just thinking about it!) For our main course, I got the Tutti Mare. I already knew from the appetizer that I was going to love the sauce. They were very generous with the seafood as well. I could and did get a bite of seafood with every bite of pasta. I like a good amount of sauce and it was nicely coated. (Woo hoo!) My friend got the fettuccine funghi, which was also delicious. She doesn't get pasta very often and was super happy with her selection. We traded serving sizes to try each other's entrée and were in agreement of how amazing everything was. As we were eating, we heard our server tell other patrons what the dessert specials were. Even before we got our appetizer, we heard "pistachio ricotta". Our eyes met and we knew we had to save room for dessert! We were so glad we did. It is a very light cake with really nice pistachio flavor. Not too sweet and was the perfect end to our meal. The food was amazing but I have to tell you that the service was too. Sadly my friend and I are light weights as far as drinking is concerned so we just opted to have water. Our glasses were never empty. They staff worked very well together, whether it was clearing the table of the bread or exchanging plates or giving us our meals. The ambiance was pleasant and they had lovely little details that would make this a great place for a date too if so inclined. We were so pleased with our experience that we've decided that we are going to make it a ritual that this will be the last place we have dinner at every time I visit going forward. I hope that will be very very soon! read more

This small business was absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh and delicious. I had the beet and mango salad for my appetizer, along with my guest's calamari. The calamari was fantastic and not the thick onion ring kind that you have to chew all day. The Branzino didn't look good in the photos but what I learned is they bring you the whole, roasted fish and then filet it for you in the dining room. The plate is hot so it keeps the fish at the perfect temperature like it came straight from the kitchen. DELICIOUS and I can't wait to go back! read more

I gave the place two stars. One for ambiance which was nice. One star for the service because there was always help around. What bothers me is that when you go to a place to eat you don't want to be bothered. You want your order taken and to be left alone to enjoy it. The place is run and serviced by Eastern Europeans. Being that I'm Eastern European I guess the employees felt it was an opening to start a conversation and ask questions. Wrong. What also bothered me is that our server made a political remark towards my wife and I after we told him where we were from. Also big mistake. The food is completely bland, mediocre at best .Our pasta was dry and unflavored. The calamari was unseasoned. It did come with its own seasoned sauce but it didn't help. The steak was chewy and had a film like residue on it. Not seasoned at all either. It was completely inedible. Everything we ordered was basically untouched. Now for the worst part. My wife takes a bite out of the pasta and starts choking. She pulls out of her mouth what you would think is pasta but instead it was a long thin piece of dish rag. I cannot make this up. It was disgusting. We wanted to stay quiet and just leave and not come back but all the raving reviews and the amount we paid for the meal we just had to say something. When the manager found out all he did was say sorry and take the pasta off the bill!! Really? The pasta? We didn't touch anything we ordered and for something like that to happen and handle it the way he did was unprofessional. The right thing to do was to comp the entire meal for a mistake like that. It's an upscale place not a Chinese food take out. We were very disappointed. Unfortunately, We won't be coming back. read more

Such a nice find in Teaneck for date night!! It's not a large restaurant, but the ambience is dim and cozy. Ok LOL it's super hard to hear when waiters tell you all the specials. But one of the appetizers we did hear was the burrata with pesto and peppers so we got that as our starter. It was so delicious fresh and creamy. For our main course we got the Pappardelle Pisa (filet mignon meatballs) with broccoli and tomatoes and Spaghetti Pomodoro. They were both really good and flavorful. They do cook their pasta al dente (which some people love) but I personally prefer them softer so that was the only thing for me. Otherwise we were really happy with everything. For dessert we shared the Panna Cotta - also very light and bouncy! Yum! Oh! They also have a huge wall of wine selection here. We had the Sauvignon Blanc with our pastas! The service staff here is super attentive and personable! We noticed they were also joking and making long conversation with some locals or regulars. We will definitely be back here soon!! read more

The restaurant is warm and welcoming and the staff was helpful and enthusiastic but the food was extremely disappointing and not inexpensive. My wife ordered octopus as an appetizer and it was truly unrecognizable as such and awful. She had tuna as an entree, which was so heavily salted that we should have sent it back. My caesar salad was different from what I expected and did not contain the typical crunchy romaine lettuce and was passable. I ordered the branzino special, which was meh. We had tartufo for dessert and that was excellent. Frankly, we were completely shocked at all of the 5 star ratings. read more

Oh my. This place is a gem. We went based on reviews since we were visiting the area with my two elderly parents. Food was amazing, but the service was just as good. Very old school Italian. Everyone was SO friendly. The place is on the smaller side, but eating there on a Thur at 6 it was quiet even with half the place full. Def recommend. read more

Our favorite "nicer" Italian restaurant in the area. The food and service is always excellent. The place is really cute. My wife loves the sangria without the fruit. The branzino is some of the best I've ever had, consistently. Enjoy read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Teaneck! It's small and unassuming, but offers some of the BEST Italian food over the bridge! The servers are awesome and very attentive, and can offer excellent recommendations. They usually have a bursts special that is standout, and it comes with a basket of bread that's delicious. I always get the same thing, a squid ink shrimp pasta that is absolutely amazing. It comes in a pesto sauce, and it's literally mouth watering. We've ordered a bunch of direct pasta dishes, all of which have been stunning, as well as a few of the chicken dishes. I highly highly recommend the banana flambé for dessert, it is absolutely amazing and served table side. They have excellent outdoor seating as well!! read more

After hearing about BV for many years I finally decided to go. I rarely go to Italian restaurants because I am usually disappointed. Staff was very friendly and all servers helped each table. Inside the restaurant has a homely feel with Italian music playing while you eat. We listed to the specials which were many on the Saturday night we went. I began with Fried Calamari, the squid was on the smaller side but tasted fresh. The sauce that accompanied it was nice and spicy. We also had the Carpaccio again very fresh with plenty of lemony arugula. Bread was served with olives and olive oil, olives were better than the bread. For entrees we had Pasta alla Vongole $25, Rigatoni alla Vodka $24, Penne Stracsicate $26, and Chicken Milanese $25. Everything was good, and I was surprised that their red sauce actually tasted "homemade". The portion size were not large enough in my opinion for the pasta dishes. They cost as much as their seconds but don't include any extras. Remember Italians usually eat Prima (Pasta) and a Second (meat). But regardless I recommend BV. read more

BV Tuscany Italian Restaurant - Linguine Alla Vongole - Italian Near Me - Teaneck, New Jersey

BV Tuscany located in Teaneck continues to be one of our very favorite Italian restaurants in the area which my partner, our friends and I had the pleasure of dining yesterday via Open Table. Upon entering, the owner Benny greeted us and remembered where we sat the last time. The restaurant has a warm feel and a comfortable level of "noise" from other tables. The Italian menu was extensive and the specials interesting. Our server Bestar made us feel welcome by reading out the specials and brought us complimentary bread/breadsticks with spicy olives to start our meal. We ordered Shrimp Scampi (Jumbo shrimp served with linguine pasta and scampi sauce), Homemade Ravioli of the day with mushrooms, Crespelli Alla Fiorentina (Crepes stuffed with ricotta and spinach baked with besciamella, tomato sauce and parmiggiano reggiano) and Capellini Tutti Mare (Angel hair pasta with Shrimp, Little Neck Clams, Calamari in a marchiara sauce.) The food is consistent and delicious with fresh ingredients well put together. This place is truly an experience, the staff remains amazing and so personable which we continue to recommend. read more

Very nice established local Italian restaurant with excellent food and service. Very nice menu with a good variety. The short ribs were very tender and flavorful. The Gnudi Toscaccio Spinach and ricotta dumplings in a butter and crispy sage sauce was outstanding! The Polleto Alla Griglia Grilled breast of chicken with baby mixed greens, cherry tomatoes and portabella mushrooms was tender and delicious. The bananas flambé for two was perfectly prepared in the dining room and was not a disappointment. Flavorful and sweet served in martini glasses. Service is excellent although ordering dessert was a little bit of a challenge. Parking in front or across the street. read more
