Amarone 63 Cedar Lane…read moreTeaneck, NJ 07666 Calamari Fritti Capellini Al Broccoli Di Rapa Pollo Amarone Ravioli Special: Broccoli Rabe Ravioli Special: Beef Brisket Tartufo Tres Leches Cake Chocolate Mousse This Italian restaurant has served some of the best pasta dishes I ever tasted, especially the ravioli and the capellini. The capellini is a blend of primarily angel hair and sweet sausage. Simply add a touch of parmesan cheese and you'll be in heaven. I usually eat cheese filled ravioli with marinara sauce, but the chef put an excellent twist to this dish! The food preparer has given a new meaning to ravioli by altering the filling and the sauce making it tastier. On a slightly constructive note, I enjoyed the tartufo but it's basically a pricey version of a Klondike bar with a cherry in the middle. However, their cakes are out of this world. The tres leches and chocolate mousse has the perfect amount of sugar and consistency. Sweets like these are the reason why there are two "s" in dessert; you'll always crave seconds! From appetizer to dessert, you'll dine like a king in a suburban palace. Be sure to go the full distance with a three course meal! #italianrestaurant #njfoodie #ravioli #calamari

I have never had an unpleasant visit to Big Red Tomato. Be it for take-out or dine-in…read more During today's dine-in visit, every single item was very good. We started with the Stuffed Portobello appetizer (Portobello Mushrooms generously stuffed with spinach, ricotta, garlic & herbs, and topped with melted mozzarella). A good app selection and recommended. The entrees were all so good, generous portions, and all fresh: Chicken Parmigiana and Tortellini, with green pesto sauce and mushrooms. I always order Penne Pasta, with garlic and oil and I highly recommend this accompaniment and/or side. It will always be a pleasure to visit Big Red Tomato and is highly recommended. Btw, if you're looking for Super Bowl orders or catering, look no further than BRT, as well.

I've heard a lot of rave of this spot, many friends have hyped up their calamari, pasta, and…read moreambiance. Many reviews cover the large portion size-- which is absolutely accurate. Both main dishes could have easily been split up for 4 people. The Calamari as well-- which is considered the smaller portion-- is absolutely enough for 2. They gave bread and butter, as well as a simple salad which is always appreciated. Yes, this place is BYOB and the service was kind enough to offer an ice bucket as well. The food was delicious-- I loved my seafood pasta dish, their muscles were soft and clams were cooked just right. They even put fresh basil on every pasta dish. Only con I found was the overstimulating environment -- it is also an antique shop so there's many bags, jewelry cases, and many other interesting items everywhere. Cool concept, but I think with more elevation, and a better location, this place can really get a kick.

So, the comfort that I didn't quite find at my hotel? I found it here -- at an Italian restaurant…read more I wasn't so much in the mood for Italian food as I was for patio/al fresco dining and something delicious to drink. The food was an afterthought (initially). At Aumm Aumm, it (the food) became the main story. My rideshare dropped me off and I thought, 'This will do.' A large patio in the late spring sun was just what I needed. I walked in and said I was a party of one and I wanted to eat outside. Done. Soon, a very chatty and kind waiter was taking good care of me and offering a glass bottle of still water.* As I am wont to do, I ate in waves: appetizer and main course (and, if I have the room/interest, dessert). A drink and a solid. A began my meal with the burrata. Rarely can you go wrong with a ball of cheese but this was a silky, milky sphere of mozzarella, served with oranges, toasted walnuts & topped with truffle honey. Truffle honey. I tried to pair every bite with cheese, citrus, nut, and honey and each time I was successful, my mouth sang. To accompany my chews, my waiter suggested Rancoli Vermentino, a dry white with a crisp finish and enough adjacency to the fruit components of the burrata to make it make sense. Lovely. I forgot that I was in Jersey. For my main, I had a GF version of the pennoni alla genovese napoletana - slow-cooked caramelized onions & diced beef pasta. Simple but incredibly flavorful (which, I've learned, is what Italian food is all about). The plate was large and I could smell it before I saw it (a very good thing). To help bring the dish to life, my waiter suggested a warm red blend (earthy, cherry/berry forward). He was correct on the type of wine but I was a bit disappointed in the price point. Believe me, I know the ins and outs of the restaurant biz, but this glass should have been (at least) a couple of dollars cheaper (knowing what I could get a bottle for). This slight faux pas lessened my rating to a 4. Not the end of the world. Just know what you're paying for before committing. I was pleasantly full so I passed on dessert/coffee. Th NJ sales tax was less than I was used to but the dreaded credit card charge fee made an appearance. I probably spent more money on dinner than I would at present but I don't regret the experience. I slept very well that night. *There was a charge. Know before you go.

The place has been nicely updated and kept fresh with tasteful renovations without loosing its local pizzeria restaurant touch. Service was delivered with a smile and it was good to hear about the original owners Mr and Mrs Franco. My son and daughter had to have a NY pizza in NY - but stated this was better and without the hefty cost and the crazy wait My personal favorites from the past are the cheese pizza and the mussels, and the sausage and pepper heroes This time only was able to eat the pizza since we had already had dinner, honestly it tasted great . Unsure when I'll be back but will definitely make a stop. For reference had gone to school in NYC for 9 years and had plenty of Rays or other NY pizza and Franco's was always my goto. And currently living in Az -- I have enjoyed pizzeria bianco but know what it is like to miss some good old fashioned pizza Thank you Mr and Mrs Franco for the memories

The restaurant itself is a little worn around the edges, and the bar area seems to be a gathering spot for locals, which can feel a bit intimidating if you're visiting from out of town. It's definitely not the place I'd choose for a romantic date night. That said, the food is absolutely worth the visit. They're known for their seafood, and it's easy to see why. The standout for me was the calamari, which completely lived up to its reputation. The rest of the meal was equally satisfying, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. If you're looking for atmosphere, there are probably better options nearby. But if your priority is excellent seafood and classic Italian cooking, this place delivers.
