The atmosphere was cozy, and the vibe was perfect for relaxing and enjoying a great meal. The cocktails were so good that we had to order a second round! For appetizers, we ordered the arancini and the burrata. Both were delicious, but the arancini completely stole the show. They were perfectly crispy on the outside, creamy and cheesy on the inside, and every bite was absolutely incredible. For our entrées, we had the shrimp pistachio fettuccine and the steak with fried potatoes. The fettuccine was outstanding, the shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the pistachio sauce was rich, unique, and full of flavor. The steak was tender, cooked exactly as requested, and paired beautifully with the crispy, flavorful fried potatoes. The true star of the meal, however, was dessert. We ordered the ricotta cheesecake, and it was one of the best desserts I've ever had. Honestly, I could eat it for the rest of my life and be perfectly happy! It was creamy, light, and absolutely unforgettable. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but the quality of the food, the service, and the overall experience make it well worth it. I'd happily come back again.

We waited for several minutes before someone came for a drink order - When that came we ordered Arancini to share and our entrees. When the arancini arrived they also served the bread and there were different servers coming to the table. The Arancini were very good - crispy with melted cheese in the center. I ordered the Corn Agnolotti which were delicious but the portion was small. Wine was interesting and $16 a glass. Food was delicious so I'll give it 4 stars - service and price were the negatives for me.

I don't know how I heard about this place but somewhere on the internet. It's been going viral. As it should. This is one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. It absolutely blew me away. We're talking flavor combinations like Saddle River Inn by Chef Jamie Knott and Bill Van Pelt's ecclectic James on Main. This is rarified air. I came on a Tuesday right when they opened for dinner at 5:30. I was the only person in the establishment for a bit, but then it filled up by the time I left. I had the privilege of being waited on by Beth, the bartender, who's been bartending in the building since 2 different establishments ago. She was fantastic and a consummate professional from my walk in to my walk out. I was frequently greeted by manager Alex. We spoke about the best restaurants in north Jersey. Agreed on gems like Prime 94 in Fairfield and River Palm Terrace in Edgewater. He's been in the business and knows what he's talking about. I got the price fixe menu for $69. It included first - some bread appetizer (not pictured) and then a shrimp and (eggplant?) or zucchini appetizer. I also got some free bread with olive oil. Next up was the egg yolk raviolo. And it's exactly how you heard. The star of the night. I love eggs so I'm a little extra biased. I asked Beth if I could also try the butternut squash agnolotti and she hooked it up complimentary. For the main course, I paid the $10 upcharge for the lobster and it came in this sweet sauce. Succulent is the word I'd use. Lots of lobster. I am happy with the choice I made. Now I only eat one meal a day so my only complaint at this point was that I was still hungry. But most people would be well and full by this point. So I asked for the menus again. I ordered scallops. Came with some fried leeks. Truly out of this world flavors in every dish. The price fixe comes with 1 dessert. I wanted to try 2 so I got 1 à la carte. A pistachio crème brûlée tart and a pistachio hazelnut dessert. I recommend the former. I also had 2 beers. I'm telling you I can eat. But the bill came out to a very pleasant surprise of $160. I had to do a double take to see if my girl Beth hooked me up anywhere on there but outside of the complimentary small portion of the agnolotti, nope, that was the price. I made sure to hook her up though! 5 words for the 5-star restaurant. Can't wait to come back.

The almond cornetto was perfectly sweet. Soft of the inside, crispy on the outside. The cornetto was big enough for two! The salted toffee latte was delicious as well, not too sweet and had the nutty after taste. Even though it was packed, we managed to get two seats by the windows, they had two fun games to play to keep them entertained! I can't wait to try a flight next time!

It's located on a street corner in a neighborhood section of Montville/Boonton. The building is covered in this beautiful old stone that adds a distinctive charm to the coffee shop. Inside the decor is really cozy and warm. I ordered a Pistachio Cream which was delicious and super creamy. Service was pretty quick and considering how busy it was when I stopped in. They offer some food options as well. Inside there is plenty of seating and there is some outdoor patio seating including one of those outdoor bubbles. Parking can be challenging when it's really packed. I recommend visiting if you're in the area!

I had been meaning to give the Columbia Inn in Montville a try for a while since friends of mine…read morementioned that pizza aficionado Dave Portnoy had awarded their exceptional thin crust pizza an 8.7 back in 2020. Even though my usual dining companion and I don't enjoy pizza - due to my lactose intolerance (more on that later) - we finally stopped in for dinner on a recent Saturday night. The restaurant occupies a historic building built in the 1870s that once served as Montville town hall and later became a tavern and inn catering to travelers making their way through northern New Jersey along US Route 202 and the Morris Canal. Today, the Columbia Inn offers diners a great neighborhood pub atmosphere with a lively bar scene and an adjacent dining room that can accommodate larger parties in a casual, family-friendly dining experience. Overall, our food was terrific. My dining companion really enjoyed her St. Peter's fish ($28), a flaky white fish topped with minced garlic, diced tomato with arugula, and a light tomato sauce alongside mashed potatoes and mashed carrots. I ordered the Chicken Scarpariello ($28) -- a very robust sauté of chicken, Italian sausage, and sweet and spicy peppers in a bold, tangy white wine and vinegar sauce -- also served with the mashed potatoes and mashed carrots. Both of us thought our entreés were genuinely delicious. However, we hit a plot twist. Navigating an Italian menu with lactose intolerance is already an extreme sport, but the description of the Scarpariello in the menu looked totally safe. Enter a creative sous chef, who apparently likes to improvise a little off-script. A few bites in, I realized my chicken was secretly wearing a cozy blanket of melted cheese hidden just underneath the sauce. I strive to be the lowest-maintenance diner on the planet and will happily eat around almost anything (while deferring my criticism to a Yelp review) to avoid sending a plate back to the kitchen. I was fully prepared to operationally pick off the cheese and soldier on, but our server, Yuri, caught my look of mild betrayal and swooped in like an absolute hero. He refused to let me suffer through a cheese-scraping mission, insisted on taking my dish back to the kitchen, and had a fresh, dairy-free version out to me in record time and offered his sincere apologies for the snafu. Major credit to Yuri for handling it like a total rockstar. I'm deducting half a star for the stealth cheese surprise and rounding down to 4 stars, but thanks to Yuri's legendary service and the fantastic food, we had a great night and will definitely be back! PRO TIP: The chef seems to enjoy freelancing and dishes may be served with slight variations from the menu descriptions. This has the potential to cause problems for people with food allergies -- so be sure to make your server aware of any specific requests when ordering.
