Pesto Italian Bistro (Located in Park Ridge Shopping Center)…read more168F Kinderkamack Rd. Park Ridge, NJ 07656 As soon as I entered this bistro, I was impressed with the nicely decorated interior that was adorned with lots of Italian themed wall art. The servers greeted me and made me feel right at home. Throughout the meal, they were very attentive and always refilled my water glass and cleared any excess plates. The CP entree also included complimentary rice balls and a house salad (not pictured), both of which tasted phenomenal. I couldn't say I was completely on par with the main course. The mozzarella cheese did not have a golden char. The cutlet was on the chewier side and something about the breading was off. However, the homemade sauce was the best part of the dish; it was thick and flavorful. Although I can't vouch for this CP, I was satisfied with their service and the other menu items I tried. For this reason, I'll definitely explore their other entrees except for the parm. #pestoitalianbistro #chickenparmreview #njchickenparmratings #parkridgenj

Alessandro's Trattoria E Pizzeria 157 Terrace St…read more Haworth, NJ 07641 The portion size was gigantic; there will definitely will be leftovers for the next day. Mozzarella cheese was charred perfectly in the center, but the top and bottom portions were missing that char. The cutlet could have used a tad bit more of breading. As a bonus, this restaurant/pizzeria is BYOB and Haworth Wine & Spirits is conveniently next door. Overall, the CP was decent and it was a great deal for the portion size served. #alessandros #alessandrostrattoria #chickenparmreview #chickenparmesanreview #chickenparmnjreview #alessandrostrattoriaepizzeria #haworthnj #downtownhaworth

Wanted so much to love this place. Purchased a $200.00 gift certificate for my wife for Mother's…read moreDay she decided to take me and make it a date night. Right from the start there were issues. The waitress brought us a cocktail menu so we ordered one each only to have her return and say they were out of cocktails we could have beer or wine. Then another woman presumably a manager said we could get cocktails just not the ones on the menu she explained they were out of certain liquors due to a large weekend event (we were there on Wednesday) she attempted to make her own concoctions they were no to our liking. We did not let her know that because she obviously was trying to do her best. Service was very slow again the manager apologized saying they were short staffed. The food was not bad unfortunately they got my wife's order wrong and at one point they brought our food to the wrong table. The manager was very apologetic and you could tell she wanted to make a good impression for the establishment. When we were ready to pay they did not know how to process the gift card saying the person who could do it was not there. They asked that we leave the gift card and would process the payment and call me so I could return to get the gift card with the remaing balance. I obliged and left all my contact info but they never called back. After a few weeks we finally trekked back over only to be told they had no clue what we were talking about. Eventually we got things settled. What was supposed to be a nice evening turned into a nuisance of back and forth driving although it's only 20 minutes away unless we were going there specifically it's 20 minute out of our way. The venue itself has a very nice decor the staff seem friendly. The night was a disappointment & I probably would not go back if it wasn't for the fact that I still have some monies left on the gift certificate.

We were able to make a reservation for the same week--a Saturday evening--for a group of 10. We arrived around 6:30, and while it was quiet at first, the space was bigger than I expected yet still felt cozy and intimate. The crowd wasn't particularly young, but everyone was warm and welcoming. We had our table from early evening through the night until the DJ wrapped up after 1 AM. We brought a cake for our celebration, and the staff kindly stored it for us, then sliced and served it beautifully. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere made the whole night special. We'll definitely be back!

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.

Hate to say this because I selfishly don't want this place to get packed LOL…read moreBut I just gotta say this is a Hidden Gem. The Restaurant is excellent but I like the small bar area, Fred might just be the best bar-tender in Bergen County, he's on top of everything. We wanted a Yankee game on and he didn't quit till he found the channel. I don't even get to the food yet, the Italian dishes are perfect, you get warm bread when u sit with a sauce thats amazing. The salads are cut up so u can eat them easily, little thing but means a lot to me . And believe it or not in the bar we had Wings... best wings around!! Plenty of Parking Check it out place is great esp the bar area!!!

Domani Ristorante Italiano 387 Washington Ave…read more Hillsdale, NJ 07642 Stuffed Mushrooms Chicken Portifino By this point, I've definitely had my share of Italian dining from multiple locations. I'm sorry to reveal this place is not winning the race. Although the appetizer and entree have a less than stellar appearance, the taste was slightly better...but not by a long shot. For approximately $2 per mushroom, the mushroom was small and the bread crumbs were on the soggy side. The entrée looks similar to the inside of a blood orange...between the red/pink brandy sauce and the sun dried tomatoes. To top it all off, static music was playing in the background while I was eating this meal. At least the pasta and portofino tasted better than it looked, but I still won't have a repeat experience with this dish.

We walked over to Bici and were warmly welcomed. We sat outside to enjoy the pleasant evening and the wonderful background bossa nova music. The waiter was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. My fiance and I shared the refreshing watermelon and tomato appetizer, which was delicious. I had the salmon as an entrée and he had the lamb chops, and they were both wonderful. For dessert, we shared the carrot cake, which was excellent. The charming owner came by several times to make sure we were enjoying our meals, and we very much enjoyed our conversations with him and with some of our neighboring diners. The welcoming atmosphere, delicious cuisine and relaxed ambiance made for a great evening, and we look forward to going back again soon!
