Was not disappointed at all, first off 50 bucks for 4 people, where can you go and spend 50 bucks for 4 people? I spent 33 bucks at Wendy's the other day for me and my kid. So 50 bucks for 4 people for 3 courses in awesome! We got the ceasar salad, which was good and they gave us plenty of dressing and didn't skimp on the croutons or cheese. Next was rigatoni with oil and garlic and I gotta say I don't know what they did to the roasted garlic but it was amazing, like I was picking all the little pieces out of the pan it was so good. Then we got the sausage and peppers and if that wasn't enough they threw in meatballs with it as well. There was more than enough food for the 4 of us and we are big eaters. The sauce was so good and that fact that we eating at home I could soak up all the sauce in my bread without fear of being stared at by other patrons. We plan on ordering again and plan on going to dine in as well, the place looked newly remodeled and was quite cute inside. 5 out of 5!

I felt a little like Ray Liotta in "Goodfellas". The service was excellent and our waiter rattled off an extensive list of daily specials and they all sounded wonderful. We settled on burrata and a fried vegetable appetizer. The burrata was good but the fried thing was even better. I wish I could remember what it was because it was so good. I guess that's what I get for writing my reviews 2 months later. It was some kind of vegetable stuffed with cheese, battered and fried. It wasn't too oily and all the flavors and textures went well together. For our entrees we went with linguini in clam sauce and cavatelli, broccoli rabe, & sausage. The linguini was a solid plate of pasta. Linguini, clams, sauce. It tasted exactly how you expect it would and the pasta was cooked well. The cavatelli was much more interesting to me. The different textures and flavors really made it a joy to eat. The pasta was al dente while some of the sausage had some crispy bits to it. And the broccoli rabe kind of made me feeling like I was eating somewhat healthy The ambiance was nice if not a little dated. Not bad though, it was cozy. I'd come back, but not too often. It's pricey.

So last night we ordered a delivery of fried calamari and a large thin crust pizza with 2 toppings…read morea total of $53.00. What a disaster. First the calamari... under cooked, ice cold, greasy, one big clump with the breading falling off. I tried to reheat it but nothing helped it. Had to throw it out totally couldn't eat it. Now for the pizza. Ask for thin crust w toppings. What we go was ice cold pizza not even warm it was COLD. The pizza "bones" so thick & hard you would need a saw to eat it. Flavorless. If you're going to offer delivery then do it right. I feel like I just handed over $53.00 for nothing. This is definitely a no go for me.

Came Saturday with a nice party-size group, and was immediately seated. We had ordered a good number of appetizers --- calamari, buffalo wings w/ blue cheese (mild), bruschetta, and some pies. I'm an appetizer guy and this definitely hit the spot. It's the kind of food that you just keep "mindlessly eat" without breaking conversation. Being pretty satisfied with my apps, I had just a little room for any mains; we ordered the family-size "carbonara". I'm not Italian by any means, but I do know a good carbonara --- this was not it. This was pasta tossed in a pea, bacon, cream sauce. It was good, but it wasn't what I had in mind. The description is in the menu, and kudos to them for the transparency. I'd simply suggest a different name for that dish. For dessert, they came by with their tray to show off an array of desserts; I opted out and got a simple cappuccino. Nothing to write home about, but it was soothing and capped-off a wonderful family gathering. Service was 5/5. Ambiance was 5/5. Carbonara was a 4.

Located off a busy Kinderkamack Road in Oradell, Ora, meaning "now" or "right now" in Italian, has been on my list and was named Best Italian Restaurant in Bergen County in the 2025 Daily Voice Readers' Choice Awards. A reservation was easily made via Toast. Upon entering as first-timers, my partner and I were greeted by the host inside this multi-level space with the vibe of a modern farmhouse, featuring warm wood tones, exposed rafters, and chic finishes accented by soft mercury lighting. One can dine in the main room, al fresco on the outside patio, weather permitting, or at one of the many top tables at the bar. We were seated promptly at a cozy table ready inside the main dining room. Their menu features a well-executed spin on Italian cuisine. As a starter, we decided on the Basil Pesto Arancini to share. For the main meal, we opted for one of today's specials, 8oz Prime Spinalis accompanied by Mac & Cheese sans crab meat and Dayboat Sea Scallops. Even saved room for some dessert and decided on the Chocolate Tortino and Soft Serve Gelato Copette. Washed them down with Franganza Spritz. Complimentary housemade bread with whipped butter started our meal. Every dish had flair and stood up against the next. Presentations kept our eyes wide as everything arrived to the table, and even the more straightforward preparations had a little something special about them. Everything was delicious; we really don't think one could go wrong with anything on the menu. What truly elevated the night, though, was our server, Clark. He went above and beyond, attentive without being intrusive, genuinely kind, and clearly passionate about making sure we had the best experience possible. It made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. Can't wait to dine here again!

Unfortunately for us, some guests got lost on the way over and our party had to wait for all of us to be seated. Since our original tables had now been taken, we waited a while longer, and longer ... getting seated about an hour after our original reservation. We were promptly given menus but the waiter did not come back for quite some time to actually take our orders or serve us drinks, and I noted we finally had orders placed an unacceptable forty minutes after being seated (adding to the hour we wait to get seated). Appetizers were served first - before the complimentary table bread, which I found a bit odd? Between the calamari, caesar salad, and table bread, the food was delicious and flavorful. After appetizers however, there was easily another half an hour wait for our main entrees, with little service inbetween - no topped off waters or cleaned up dishes. My medium rare rack of lamb came out disappointingly medium well, which given the wait for entrees, I shouldn't have been surprised that it continued to cook while waiting to be served. The salty lamb and vegetables were drenched in dressing, and were better off served either with about half the flavor or on the side. Trying a bite of my wife's undercooked pappardelle, I was again disappointed yet not surprised. Summing it up, this place has a fabulous ambiance but the attention to detail from the wait staff and chef is missing, and left us with a three and a half hour dining experience with mediocre food.

Other than that, a solid spot for Italian food if you enjoy that cuisine and are ok with the prices. The menu has a pretty large selection of foods, from pasta dishes and seafood to pizza to parms, chicken/veal, ravioli, and salads. (A note: I don't always like going out to Italian restaurants because they can be pricey for the value [and i can't help but confidently think that i could make it for a fraction of the price], especially if the pasta isn't homemade.) I ordered the penne with broccoli rabe ($25) and for that price I would have wanted A LOT of broccoli rabe to be satisfied and perhaps a few more ingredients. It was tasty and filling but I didn't make a good choice there. The salmon penne was also well flavored, with some nice salmon pieces, rich sauce, peas. They also give you complimentary bread and what looked somewhat like garlic bread; both were good but added to the carbolicious experience. Service was pretty attentive. There's a 3% upcharge if you pay with a credit card. It's a bit dark in the restaurant, which adds to the nice ambiance. Parking is around back and seems not that big but we had no trouble parking.
