    When Scala del Nonna closed in Montclair, my husband and I were bummed and were hoping to find a solid restaurant in the Scalini family. We ended up at the former Locanda Vecchia, which has now reopened as Scalini Fedeli. All I can say is that we were completely blown away. We came three times after that initial because we loved it so much. The food is incredible and the courses just keep on coming! It's definitely our new favorite place.

    Immediately you arrive at the most beautiful inn that they had all decorated for fall. The hostess was so kind and warm when we entered the restaurant. Our whole party wasn't there at the same time, so we grabbed a drink at the bar; extra points for having backs on all the bar seats which is so much more comfortable. Amanda the bartender was SPECTACULAR! She had so much knowledge of different drinks and spirits, was kind, and made a delicious drink. She started our dinner journey off perfectly. We were sat in a corner cozy booth/round table and the price fix menu made it easy to dine with another couple and all be able to chose your own dishes. All of the food and presentation were delicious and incredible. They were flexible with everything and for all being first time diners here it was a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!

    The renovations have made an improvement on the comfort and style of this Old Inn. The service is very good, and Chef Michael is a seasoned Pro. The food quality is above average. I found the prix fixe menu a bit challenging as there has been great effort in describing all the nuances of each offering, but overall it is somewhat disjointed , and lacks categorization, grouping pasta, poultry, meat and fish in a way that is organized. Perhaps that is what they were going for, but it makes it harder to compare, decide and choose your selection IMO. I did catch a discrepancy with the beet and Trevisano Radicchio salad. The radicchio was the regular kind, and cut into small pieces. This should be stated up front to anyone who orders it, if you run out of that which you present on the menu as Trevisano. The desserts were all delicious and a great finish to an enjoyable meal. They offer a reasonable $35 corking fee, to anyone who wants to bring their own wine. This is the best quality Italian food in the area. We look forward to to returning again

Whether you're in the mood for a fresh, crisp salad or something more adventurous, they deliver. The star of the show for us has been the jambalaya served in a pineapple boat -- a fun, creative presentation that somehow makes an already delicious dish even better. It's the kind of thing you order once and immediately start telling your friends about. And let's not overlook the bar. The bartenders here are genuinely cool -- friendly, attentive, and they know how to put together a solid drink every single time. A great cocktail can make or break a dining experience, and these folks always come through. If you're looking for a relaxed vibe with food and drinks that actually impress, this is your place.

We did a little fried calamari and nachos to start. Both were demolished. Two colleagues had grilled chicken Caesar salad one had a wrap and one had a sandwich. I had a fried chicken cutlet rollatini with spinach, sausage and Fontella cheese. Some entrées allow two side dishes and they have a very extensive array of sides. I got roasted Italian long hearts and onion rings. They also have grilled asparagus, cream, spinach, french fries half a dozen other things. Tavern 73 In! 7+3 makes it perfect 10

    Dismal Harmony Distillery is an absolute gem in Morristown. From the moment you walk in, the 1930s…read morespeakeasy vibe sets the perfect mood. While the aesthetic has a hipster edge to it, let's be clear: this is not a place where you get a cheap bucket of beer served by a pretentious, disinterested bartender. It is a haven for people who truly appreciate exceptional spirits. They distill incredibly high-quality, rare spirits right on-site, and the innovation and quality show in every glass. It is obvious that an immense amount of thought, care, and consideration goes into the flavor profiles of both their unique creations and their brilliant takes on classics. The drinks are pricey, but it's worth it for the premium experience. Their rum old fashioned is a personal favorite -- a truly innovative take on a timeless cocktail. For those who abstain from alcoholic beverages -- they do have a handful of tasty mocktails available. What elevates the experience even further is the exceptional service behind the rail. Instead of the indifferent attitude you get at some trendy spots, the team here is welcoming and highly engaged. They take the time to ask about your flavor preferences to recommend the perfect drink. The space can get quite loud and high-energy -- especially when multiple lively groups or bachelorette parties are overlapping -- so be prepared for the cacophony. Even so, for phenomenal cocktails and incredible service, this place is unmatched! If you want a masterfully crafted drink in an unforgettable, high-energy setting, this is the spot. We will definitely be back! PRO TIP #1: New Jersey's draconian liquor laws prohibit microbreweries or distilleries from serving food, so bring your own snacks or order via your favorite delivery app. PRO TIP #2: Dismal Harmony does not have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of paid on-street parking on Morris Street. Bring change or use the ParkMobile app for the meters ($1 per hour) Monday through Saturday from 8am til 6PM; all street meters are free Monday through Saturday after 6pm and all day on Sunday. If you can't find a spot on the street, paid parking is also available in the Morristown Parking Authority Lot #10 (12 Wilmot Street).

The owners clearly have a passion that shines through with every cocktail. The Monk American Herbal is breathtaking - as are the Recado, Vidisha's Masala, and Barista.

We started with the cucumber, pistachio, and yogurt, with harissa and sesame seeds. Like a very creative and refreshing Mediterranean pickle. Delish. We also got the Mediterranean salad. It was much more interesting than your typical Greek salad. Excellent feta, good cucumbers and tomato, and nice little pita chip slivers. They also start you with very good bread with olive oil and some olives. For our entrées we got Chilean Seabass, Branzino fillet, and Mariscada, which is a big shellfish stew. While it's not indicated on the menu, all entrées come with saffron rice, sautéed vegetables... And their homemade potato chips. The person who got the Mariscada was so happy. It had every kind of fresh shellfish and really was enough for two people. I really enjoyed the Branzino fillet, which came with a lemon caper sauce. It was huge and very delicious, I had to give some pieces away. The Chilean Seabass is the most expensive, at $55. For me, I felt that I have had better Seabass and I preferred my $36 branzino. But the person who ordered it was thrilled and thought it was amazing, and gets it every time here. I loved the saffron rice, and the homemade potato chips. I didn't eat the sautéed vegetables (there was just too much food everywhere!). But the person who tried them thought they were extremely delicious. Overall, this is a great place for sharing, with tons of food. And the cucumber, harissa yogurt, pistachio and sesame seed appetizer showed that they are innovating and not just doing your parent's Don Pepe. Oliver was also a super server as was everyone else on the team. And we enjoyed the patio... though I must say that being over Route 46 traffic is not the most atmospheric, and I wish the patio was on the other side! But who can complain with all this yummy food? Looking forward to coming back here next time I'm in New Jersey.

It seems that the food tasted the same but presented & plated differently. I asked the waiter if the Chef remained from the previous establishment and he confirmed; this is why the food tasted familiar. I'm not sure if I'd return and would say my overall experience was just, OK. Arancini: Arborio rice was bland & cold Clams Casino: Good, but the mashed potato did not pair well Mariscada Red Sauce: Good, tiny little shrimp & obnoxiously large calamari rings. Prime porter House: Just Ok not prime but rather choice and they offer no sauces, presentation needs work.
