Right by the front window. The food and service were terrific. They would seemingly make you anything you wanted. I had the chicken and sausage dish that was very tasty. Two at our table got the lama osobuco and raved about it. Dessert was terrific and they even had a separate dessert specialist who described and discuss the dessert. We will be going back many more times in the future. After all, Covid is a thing of the past. Enjoy your dining.

Our group selected a cooking class here which included dinner with pasta-making as the only…read morehands-on portion of the evening. We only mixed flour and water together to roll out pasta. For $125/person, I had expected better tasting food though. The small appetizers (spinach salad, prosciutto, Parmesan, olives) may have been put together from a grocery store. For the pasta that we rolled out, the staff only added a plain tomato sauce. The side of vegetables was overcooked and mushy. Tiramisu was all right. We can blame the taste and texture of the pasta on ourselves, because we made it, but I had expected the rest of the food prepared by professionals to be better. No drinks were included -- Healthy Italia is BYOB. There was a nice intro video from the owner telling us about her history and philosophy. She said that she doesn't measure ingredients, and only mixes by feel. How does one teach a cooking class like this? If someone is taking a cooking class, they are less experienced and need precise measurements and instructions. Our flour and water were measured for us, so I guess they do measure something. We were never told the measurements, so didn't have any recipe or any specific learnings to take home. I enjoyed the social time with my group, and especially the long table set out for our group in true Italian fashion. It made us feel like a big cohesive family. However, for $125/person, I felt like we could have had a true learning experience elsewhere or had a much better Italian dinner at a restaurant with drinks. In fact, on the subsequent evening, a few individuals from our group went to a restaurant and ordered similar items served at this cooking class, and the food was remarkably better. And yes, it was less than $125/person with drinks.

We took time to walk the whole downtown. Very beautiful neighborhood. From outside, it may look like a small place, but when you enter you will be amazed. We had an opportunity to meet the owners (husband and wife), nice Italian couple. They were very welcoming and they love to talk to their customers about Italy and Italian food. We, along with our friends ordered Burrata, Caprese, Eggplant Rollatini, Fusilli con melanzane aromatizzate ai capperi, Frutto di granseola finta, Margherita Pizza, recommended drinks by servers (Merlot and Pinot Grigio), Tiramisu, Cappuccino, etc. Food quality and taste was excellent. They have a very nice bar and a big wine list to select. Prices may be high, but L'Allegria is worth, each penny! It is Fine dining!! I recommend this restaurant and will go back when we visit North New Jersey. Dress appropriately. It is a classy place!

He still claims that the porcini rubbed rub steak is his favorite. Anyway as a vegetarian I am usually faced with sub par uninteresting food. Well Chef Angelo did me proud with the Caciao de Pepe Ramen. I just loved it and hope it stays on the menu. Now their burrata raviolis and eggplant parm is great too. I loved my meal so much I only ate half so I could have it for dinner tomorrow. I also got the chocolate cake. If you like chocolate...you have to order. Last our server was awesome. Brynn was great with her warm service and bubbly personality. This is why we keep going back.

For my cocktail, I had the Lucco sangria, which had red wine, chicha morada, pineapple and mint. It was a unique spin on sangria that tasted fantastic. For a starter, I ordered the octopus, which was bursting with flavor from the various components. The octopus was very tender and practically melted in my mouth. For my entree, I had the pesto bucatini dish with shrimp. The dish tasted fantastic and every component complemented each one perfectly. The portion was very generous as well. Although I was full, I still made room for dessert. The tiramisu was fantastic and one of the best that I've had. Overall, I had an incredible experience at Lucco and highly recommend it. One note is that the parking lot fills up quickly on weekend evenings, so there are limited options.

I honestly think frozen pizza tastes better…read more The cheese wasn't fully cooked, the crust was soft, and there was way too much cheese. The flavor reminded me of Domino's rather than a traditional New Jersey pizza. The inside of the restaurant felt more like Chipotle than a classic neighborhood pizzeria. For a New Jersey pizza place, this tasted and felt more like Midwest pizza, but with a high price tag. There are far better local options nearby.

We started with the cheesy garlic bread and I got a margarita gf pizza. The cheesy bread came out hot and full of flavor. Off to a great start. My pizza came out mostly hot and a little bland but had a good crust and crunch to it. The sauce isn't my favorite though. My sister wasn't a fan of her pizza since the pancetta pieces were huge and hard to eat and too salty. The place was fairly empty although they did have takeout orders but we were waiting an extremely long time for someone to take our order, to come back for entrees, and to get the check and to go boxes. Overall, just a very mid experience, especially for $100 plus tip.

Entrees ranged from my Orecchiette to my wife's Chicken Francese, to the boys Drunken Chicken and Cavatelli & Pot Cheese. Everyone thought the food was excellent.

They've been at this location for five years, but their roots run much deeper in Morristown--and you can feel it in every detail. From the start, the atmosphere was welcoming and refined, and the energy in the room was lively without ever being loud. Families, friends, nice mix. The staff was phenomenal, and the owner himself made the rounds, greeting guests table to table like it was Sunday dinner at his own home. We kicked things off with meatballs, calamari, fried zucchini sticks, and fresh bread--simple, classic, and done exactly right. The olive oil for bread dipping had full cloves of roasted garlic, absolutely delicious. For dinner, we had a spread: * Eggplant Parmigiana - tender, rich, and perfectly layered, over a bed of pasta * Chicken Parmigiana - crisp, juicy, and deeply satisfying, our son's favorite * Spaghetti Carbonara - creamy, balanced, and not overly heavy * Penne alla Vodka - a comfort dish done with precision, just right. The authenticity stood out in every bite--you could tell this is a kitchen that cooks with pride and history. The portions were generous and we can't wait to eat the leftovers. The crowd was a great mix, and the overall vibe felt elevated without being pretentious. We went with my soulmate and one of our adult children, and it was the kind of meal you look forward to repeating. Final word: -Highly recommend. - Would absolutely return. Guerriero's is the kind of place where tradition meets hospitality, and it hits the mark on every level. A true gem in Morristown.
