    This is such a cute place! The restaurant is small, but it has a lovely outdoor seating area. We…read morevisited on a beautiful, breezy day, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The menu is extensive, in the best way possible. Everything sounded delicious, and it was hard not to want to order one of everything! We were a party of 12, and they accommodated us immediately. The service was excellent and very attentive throughout our visit. Every dish we ordered tasted homemade and was packed with flavor. The kids' pizza is actually a full-sized pizza, making it perfect for sharing if you have toddlers. They also had a projector showing the World Cup game, which added to the fun atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back!

I haven't stopped thinking about the Nonna pasta and I've been raving to all my friends. They offer a wide array of options and there's something for everyone. FRESH ingredients are used here, everything was light and simple. You can taste the quality! The service is fantastic as well, very attentive and kind wait staff. The atmosphere is so cute, it's a very cozy spot. This place is perfect for a celebration or a romantic date spot! Any time of day would be a lovely option as they have ample outdoor seating and large windows. Cannot wait to visit again, this will definitely become a regular spot!! This is a MUST VISIT for anyone gluten intolerant. Thank you so much Popolari!

    THEE Best around! Their pastas are made fresh and in house. Whatever it is that you order is…read moresucculent and Devine - a religious experience! Staff is amazingly attentive, professional and super friendly. I like that the Chef makes an occasional appearance making it a personable experience. Prices are up there but money well spent.

    I....don't really get the hype. This place was okay for the first half hour, but then the weekend…read moreevening crowd came and it got louder than free bottle service night at a club owned by Snoop Dogg. Lawd have mercy on my ears! The food was decent quality and largely portioned, but it was largely the same old Italian-American red sauce staples made by Spanish-speaking staff that you'd find at many "Italian" restaurants in NJ. - LK Caesar Salad: Eh. Limp lettuce, storebought dressing. No anchovies so not authentic, but I didn't expect any - Squid Ink Bucatini: Came with an okay amount of scallops and shrimp, and a skimpy portion of jumbo lump crab. Large, though, so I could have the rest for lunch the next day - Malfaldine Pasta: Points for the nice tomato cream sauce, but there wasn't much more to this besides the fun malfadine shape - Hen Of The Wood Mushrooms side: More like hen + shiitake. Lots of garlic flavor, but it was kind of drowning in oil. Service was okay, but like some reviewers have noted, it tended to skew young and green. Which was fine until things got LOUD and crowded--then we were waiting forever just to get extra water. I'd never been to Montclair before this dinner--but I have say I truly hope there's better Italian in this up and coming town.

    My friends were visiting out of state and had this place bookmarked to try. We drove 50 minutes to…read moreget there and I think it was worth the drive. They were packed when we got there but we didn't have to wait long to get a seat. What we ordered: - Buffalo Wings - Mozzarella Sticks - French Fries - Regular Pizza - Regular Pizza with Pepperoni - White Clam Pizza - Old School Everything Pizza without Anchovies The food came out piping hot and everything we got was good. The wings were crispy and had a lot of sauce. We all enjoyed the pizzas even though bar style isn't our favorite. The only thing to note is my friend ordered a Blue Moon beer and never got it even though she even reminded them again. By the time the meal ended she was too full for a beer anyways. Honestly we don't even know if we got charged for it because we didn't examine the receipt before we paid by cash. Besides that everything went well and we would recommend this place.

    I visited the Star Tavern on a Friday afternoon for a late lunch and enjoyed the food and service…read more My wife and I shared a garlic bread with mozzarella and a pizza (half 3 cheese/half white spinach) and even though the pizza is very thin it was more than enough food for us so keep that in mind if you go with multiple people and each one decides to order a pizza. Note that depending on the toppings you can order 2 different ones (half/half) but it's not available for all toppings. Pizza was tasty, I'd rate it a 8.5/10, I just wish it had a little more cheese. Garlic bread was also pretty good. I had 2 Coors light draft ($5.50 each) and my wife had a ginger ale ($3.00 and refill was free). They should offer some happy hour specials during weekdays. Service was good and waitresses were friendly. There are some tables and booths in addition to bar stools. There's a small parking lot so during peak hours you might need to find street parking.
