We were greeted ebulliently by the very nice server, and the service was great throughout the meal, with two servers and the chef or manager (both?) checking on us. There is an extensive menu, from which I chose the Jersey Carbonara and my dining partner had the Shrimp and Pancetta Risotto. Both entrees were delicious and filling, The restaurant bakes delicious bread, which is light and fluffy and somehow tastes vaguely cheesy also. We rounded off our meal with what I hope was a decaf capuccino--one of the smoothest coffee drinks I've had the pleasure to sample--and a truffle with two kinds of ice cream and a little jujube inside. 10/10 would eat there again.

Great place! The desserts are phenomenal and the service is even better. Creme bruleeread more

Cute and cozy for Valentine's Day…read more They aren't normally open Sundays, but they were for valentines weekend. It was a perfect chance for us to try it. My husband, a history teacher, loved the old train station vibes and I enjoyed all the food. Our drinks and food were delicious. I wish they had told us the tuna dish was sold out before we looked through the menu and tried to order, but we adapted. Our server kind of forgot about us as the night went on, but luckily we are easy people and didn't mind too much. Not sure if I'll come back, but it was great for the occasion.

We've been hearing about Eccola for years - so glad we finally made it here. The homemade pastas…read moreare delicious and the menu, overall, is so well-rounded, there's something for everyone. Cocktails were pretty good too - some a little on the sweet side but, again, somethin' for everyone theme throughout. Tonight we enjoyed the risotto as an appetizer and the beet salad - both delicious. Some others in our party had the mushroom soup - tasty and a huge portion. For entrees, my wife asked them to make an off-menu gnocchi bolognese and they obliged - and she was quite pleased with it. I had the gnocchi special with chunks of short rib - impossible to ever go wrong with anything with short rib! Very tasty! Our friends had a variety of pasta and veal dishes - the veal chop special was Wow! All enjoyed their choices. We skipped on dessert because everyone usually climbs into my SUV "bus" for ice cream somewhere nearby. The adventure continues! This is a rough business. It's so hard for a single restaurant to stay in business for this long but Eccola has stayed relevant in an uber-competitive North Jersey market. Eccola means "Here She Is!". Apparently, here she remains! Salute!!

However, we did have to wait a solid half hour past our reservation time with no apology. Our waiter was unfriendly, if not rude. I don't think he said more than 10 words the entire night and didn't seem particularly thrilled to be there. But otherwise, attentive. Food was solid. Grilled calamari came out lukewarm at best but was tasty. Mussels good but nothing special. Great complimentary bread. We all really enjoyed our entrees - salmon, orecchiette, and clams over linguine. Chocolate mouse cake was good but the biscotti pretty standard. Place was busy with a nice vibe.

NOTE: the beef ribs that everyone's talking about are sliced short ribs. Don't think those big bone beef ribs you get at American BBQ joints. Devil is in the details. What made this place a 3, star is that the staff doesn't introduce the menu and items well. For example, I got the beef ribs with vegetables and sweet plantains (both VERY good btw), they failed to explain that there are SPICY PICKLED VEGETABLES THAT GOES WITH IT. I took a bite of the cauliflower thinking it was the vegetables side, and spat it right out because it's the Portuguese style pickled veggies. If someone didn't eat spicy that would definitely mess them up. Ambiance? None, it's basically a small bodega with 3 pairs of booth seats and 5 bar seats. How is it colder in the restaurant than outside (it is currently March)

If you enjoy the unique spices of Pakistani cuisine, you are going to love Maza. I came here with…read moremy son last week and was pleasantly surprised with our meals. The restaurant has a simple decor but enough special touches to set a Pakistani vibe. They have both booth and table seating. The restaurant is very clean. There is but one attendant that fills the roll of both waiter and cashier. After ordering we were presented with complimentary garlic naan and a green salad with yogurt. My son ordered the "Mixed Platter" ($17) which was huge and ended with a take-out box and a meal later in the week. The platter consisted of of 2 lamb kabobs, 2 chicken kabobs and the best biryani rice I ever tasted. I find their spices intoxicating. I ordered the "Goat Achari" ($16). The goat was cooked with spices and additionally flavored with pickles. The goat meat was marinated and fell of the bone. I could have eaten 2 bowls. The chai tea was anything but sweet and came with sugar for people like me that like their tea a bit sweet. The restaurant has street parking as well as on-site parking.

But I was craving Pakistani food the other night and we weren't anywhere we could cook so I started looking for a place in the area that we were staying when I found this restaurant on Yelp after visiting some breweries in and around the area. So I was like, Let's try it out! She agreed and we drove that way. So we walked in maybe 30 minutes or so before closing and placed a to go order because we didn't want to sit down and be rude by keeping them there after closing. The employees were nice and spoke to my girlfriend in Urdu so I have no idea what they were saying tbh. lol. I just know she ordered several things and I was excited to try them all. I stepped away to use the bathroom while she was doing her thing and when I came back out and I noticed it is a very clean place and decorated very nicely. So we went to the car and waited for maybe 15-20 minutes before the food was ready. We left and the food smelled so good on the drive back to the hotel. I was so pumped to eat it. She ordered: - Palak paneer 4/5 - Chicken kebab 3/5 - Basmati Rice 4/5 - Garlic naan 4/5 - Mutton gosth kharhi 3/5 - Keena paratha 4/5 - Gulab jamun 4/5 The food was good but not as good as hers or her mother's. Theirs is really really good! :D The palek paneer was my favorite. The chicken kabobs were okay just a little dry and lacked flavor. The garlic naan was pretty good. The mutton gosth kharhi was decent but this was my first time having it since I rarely ever eat meat, so I can't really compare it to anything I've had. I loved the keena paratha, but it was a little too oily. The rice was good. The gulab jamun was very tasty. This place is good and it's in a cool area on a cool street. Would I come again? Absolutely! It's good food and good service, especially considering it was take out. Shukriya!

Perfectly sauced & fresh mozzarella & basil. The cheese is real quality cheese (you know how "chewy" cheap cheese can be, like chewing gum. Its a pet peeve of mine, I can spot cheap cheese a mile away, this is QUALITY cheese) and the sauce is definitely a show stopper, very fresh! The garlic knots are perfectly seasoned, garlicky & nicely "bready" (soft & pillowy) We got the thin pizzas to go but my husband grabbed a slice out to try & it was so good he ate 3 slices on the way homeso thin with crispy cheese on the edges & it was perfectly sauced & topped with their delicious cheese all in the right proportions. We're going back on Wednesday to get a Sicilian pie (gonna grab another slice or 2 of the grandma pie to eat while we wait) It's worth the drive from Nutley to Parsippany, the food is that good & we live in an Italian town full of pizzarias. Didn't get a picture of the grandma slices, we were too hungry & they were too good! The owner, Johnny, is so friendly & just a great guy. You can see the pride he has for his restaurant & how much he cares for his customers.
