    Rice Balls
    Patricia M.

    This place is lively on a Friday night! What a fun atmosphere. Came here on an early Friday evening and was pleasantly surprised by the down to earth service and food. We started with the rice balls, and they were vegetarian and delicious. The vodka sauce on the side really sent us. We also got the mushroom ravioli which was rich and a bit earthy. We would love to come back here and try the pizza! This time we were full until the next day despite splitting the appetizer and entree. There was no wait but we got there just before it got packed so I would consider what time you're going.

    Stopped in at Luna's for lunch with a friend. It was absolutely quiet - we had the place to ourselves. We got two pies and their rice balls. Everything was good but just a little underwhelming. The rice balls were probably my favorite, crispy and the sauce was good too. The pizzas were alright, I mean not bad by any means just not amazing. Service was great, mainly because we were the only ones there but overall a good lunch. Is there better pizza in nutley? Yes. Maybe I'll try their pastas next time and compare. I'll definitely give this place another try for dinner.

    Stopped in for a meal and a drink after conducting some business in Nutley, and wow what a great meal we had. I enjoyed some bruschetta, some beet salad, and the best Philly cheesesteak sandwich I ever had. They beat Philly hands down. The red peppers in the sandwich tasted amazing. The beet salad was absolutely delicious, made with lots of fresh beets. The best part though was the service, every employee works hard to please each and every customer, and they do it with a genuine smile. Our server Joe was awesome, he was attentive, gracious and polite. A real gentleman. The whole vibe of the place was cool. A great place to visit. I will be back!

    The rice balls are to diie for!! My son ordered the garlic parm wings and sadly the garlic was beyond burnt (as you can see), and it ruined the wings. That won't stop me from ordering the rice balls!

    Very friendly service today. The meatball sandwich tasted okay, unfortunately it was not hot, balls were a bit cold inside. The chicken Nutley Raider sandwich also was not hot enough and the prosciutto did not taste fresh. Three pizzas at a table next to us looked quite boring. We won't be back.

    So I met my friend here for lunch. We shared the calamari with teriyaki. Calamari was tender with a bit of crispness. Very good. My friend had the Italian chicken sandwich. He stated it was pretty good ! So I saw they had a pork panini with Broccoli Rabe with provolone. ( Which is probably my favorite sandwich when made right). So my husband and I returned for dinner on the same day!! We ordered the potato, sausage and long hots as an appetizer. Excellent.... Very filling. Mozzarella sticks for the teen.. The pork panini was surprisingly delicious. The pork was sliced thin, seasoned perfectly, juicy with the correct amount of broccoli rabe and provolone. Paired with an Au jus sauce on the side!! Hubs ordered the Luna rib eye sandwich. He said it was good but tried my panini and said he should have ordered that instead. Service was great.. inside is very nice. Cool place to come hangout. Will definitely add to my rotation.

    Happy Sunday Adventurers! I was here last weekend to meet up with some friends in the area. We tried a variety of drinks--old fashioned, some sort of spritz, my first espresso martini and of course an extra dirty martini. I've been trying them at different places just see how they're made. The service was quick and efficient, really great vibe at the bar. I loved the steak crostini, the meat was cooked perfectly and tender with great flavor. I also ordered a special pizza from an older menu--it wasn't bad just very tart/acidic. I'd still recommend it I think if they added ricotta it would break all that up. I did not like the espresso martini, too sweet. I think that's how they are suppose to taste but I'd prefer less sweet more espresso. They host parties in the larger room next door so unless the doors closed you'll hear a lot of kids running/screaming. Parking wasn't too bad, but it was a Sunday and cold, you'll probably have a harder time on a different day. I'd like to come back here during a happy hour if they still offer it. I think it would be a good time with wine and pizza!

    First visit was a few summers back and we absolutely loved it…read more "I think we found our new favorite place to keep coming back to!" (But time can be slippery and it took a bit longer than expected for a follow-up visit.) I'm happy to report that first time was not a fluke and this place IS worthy of putting into steady rotation*. (* - if money's not an issue) I'm boring - both visits I went with the (homemade) pasta specials and they were incredible. The Mrs. is equally boring and got the branzino each time. (And loved it both times.) One kid tried the (gulp, $60) steak special and kept raving about it. (Well, he wasn't keen on the zucchini but what teen really digs that veg, right?) The other kid loves bolognese and was happy with their version. A lovely small and warm restaurant. Limited menu with a handful of specials. It's not cheap. (A wee bit over $50 a person and we didn't get appetizers or dessert and only had sparkling water.) BYOB. (Limited) street parking. The host/owner - you won't find a more inviting and personable figure who is clearly proud of what he's created. Is a part of me tempted to dock a few stars because the owner was happy to see one of my kids wearing an AC Milan jersey the day before they were set to clash with my team, AS Roma? Of course! (But that match ended in a 1-1 draw so I'll be nice... this time!)

    We found Luigino's Parmigiano while looking for a local BYOB for an easy Saturday date night, and…read moreit turned out to be such a pleasant surprise. The restaurant was packed when we arrived, with both indoor and outdoor dining, but they were expecting us for our reservation and seated us right away. The front-of-house staff was warm, friendly and even remembered my husband from when he called to make the reservation. The food was the standout. I ordered the short rib, which arrived with quite the presentation, a huge bone topped with incredibly tender, shaved short rib and mixed vegetables. It was delicious and the portion was enormous. I shared some with my husband at dinner, took the rest home, and we still managed to turn the leftovers into an omelet a couple of days later! My husband ordered the double-thick pork chop and loved it. We also shared the fried shrimp and calamari appetizer, and both the marinara and aioli were excellent. One small area for improvement would be helping the younger waitstaff become a little more comfortable guiding guests through the menu. When we asked for recommendations and what dishes the restaurant was especially known for, it took a little prompting before we got to Parmigiano. Our server was perfectly nice. It just would have elevated the experience to have someone confidently say, "This is what we do exceptionally well, and here's what I recommend." Overall, though, we had exactly the kind of evening we needed. We brought a bottle of wine, relaxed, talked, enjoyed the atmosphere and genuinely felt like we had gotten away for a while. Our bill came in at the $100 range, and we left completely satisfied. Great food, generous portions, a welcoming atmosphere and excellent value. We'll absolutely return.

There was four of us and we split two entries, chicken parm and eggplant parm. The eggplant was sliced thin and the chicken was massive. Great tasting sauce; my only complaint was deli sliced mozzarella. We had Caci e Pepe and bolognese pasta dishes too. While good tasting sauce, the Caci e Pepe sauce was a little too runny. Great zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta and prosciutto and melon appetizers. It's a byob place so bring favorite. The interior had a great farm style look with lots of vibrant colors. It's loud and crowded - both a good sign of a good restaurant.

There's just something about them that you can't recreate. Yesterday, my buddies and I were supposed to hit The Belmont Tavern, but they were closed for the week. Rather than scrap the plan, we pivoted to Matthew's Italian Restaurant at the suggestion of one of the guys in the crew. What a great find. We were pleasantly surprised that an old school spot like this had somehow escaped us all these years. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for, the staff was awesome, and most importantly, the food delivered. We came out swinging with Clams Oreganata, Meatballs, Stuffed Mushrooms, Mozzarella Carrozza, and two different types of Ravioli. Needless to say, the table filled up pretty quickly. For dinner, most of the crew went with either the Veal Parm or Chicken Parm. A nice touch is that they'll do the parm with vodka sauce if you want to switch things up. I went with the steak special and had absolutely no regrets. Dessert was on point too, but I'll leave a little something to your imagination. Great food, great service, great old school atmosphere, and exactly the kind of Italian restaurant I'm always looking to discover. Matthew's is officially on our list now. We'll definitely be back soon.

To start: there's a small parking lot in the back but otherwise appears to be street parking. Both of our cars found spots in the lot since we got there a touch before 5pm. When we got in there, there was only 1 table of two people occupied but we were asked if we had a reservation which we didn't have. Admittedly, it was a bit of a last minute decision to go out so it completely slipped my mind to look to see if I would be able to reserve something but it was before 5pm so I'm surprised we were met with such resistance. Luckily, they were able to take us with warning we would need to be out by 6:45. For reference we left at 6 since we only got entrees. The place itself is somewhat small and has a little covered patio which saw had some tables. It's no frills and the menu wasn't all that extensive. I swear there is more of a menu on their Slice app for takeout ordering. Bread was placed on the table as well as a water pitcher. To be honest, I didn't think the bread had much flavor and my husband and parents agreed. We were pretty hungry so we did finish it (even when bread isn't great, it's still good in my book) but we weren't offered any more than the first basket. All of our entrees came with salad which were typical pizzeria salads-not bad, not amazing. My mom and I both ordered the Chicken Avellino (chicken breast sautéed with chopped red onion, red peppers, sliced hot cherry peppers, shitake mushrooms in a white wine sauce with a touch of plum tomatoes) which came with roasted potatoes. I'm not the biggest fan of spicy but I thought I could just take off the sliced hot cherry peppers and be okay. Wow was I wrong because the entire dish had a kick to it. Even my mom who gravitates towards spicy food admitted it was hot. That said, the quality of the chicken was phenomenal. It was thin sliced and very good. My husband very much enjoyed his Scaloppini Marsala and my dad liked the Pollo Francese but did wish the sauce was a touch thicker. I will say I think the quality of the food served is very good but the portions are not plentiful. I'm guilty of always taking home and making another meal or two out of what I get out somewhere but all 4 of us cleared our plates. At a $30 price point I just wish there were larger portions.
