Was not disappointed at all, first off 50 bucks for 4 people, where can you go and spend 50 bucks for 4 people? I spent 33 bucks at Wendy's the other day for me and my kid. So 50 bucks for 4 people for 3 courses in awesome! We got the ceasar salad, which was good and they gave us plenty of dressing and didn't skimp on the croutons or cheese. Next was rigatoni with oil and garlic and I gotta say I don't know what they did to the roasted garlic but it was amazing, like I was picking all the little pieces out of the pan it was so good. Then we got the sausage and peppers and if that wasn't enough they threw in meatballs with it as well. There was more than enough food for the 4 of us and we are big eaters. The sauce was so good and that fact that we eating at home I could soak up all the sauce in my bread without fear of being stared at by other patrons. We plan on ordering again and plan on going to dine in as well, the place looked newly remodeled and was quite cute inside. 5 out of 5!

I felt a little like Ray Liotta in "Goodfellas". The service was excellent and our waiter rattled off an extensive list of daily specials and they all sounded wonderful. We settled on burrata and a fried vegetable appetizer. The burrata was good but the fried thing was even better. I wish I could remember what it was because it was so good. I guess that's what I get for writing my reviews 2 months later. It was some kind of vegetable stuffed with cheese, battered and fried. It wasn't too oily and all the flavors and textures went well together. For our entrees we went with linguini in clam sauce and cavatelli, broccoli rabe, & sausage. The linguini was a solid plate of pasta. Linguini, clams, sauce. It tasted exactly how you expect it would and the pasta was cooked well. The cavatelli was much more interesting to me. The different textures and flavors really made it a joy to eat. The pasta was al dente while some of the sausage had some crispy bits to it. And the broccoli rabe kind of made me feeling like I was eating somewhat healthy The ambiance was nice if not a little dated. Not bad though, it was cozy. I'd come back, but not too often. It's pricey.

It's idiotic management. They have the waiters and waitresses working with no rhyme or reason. Instead of having assigned wait staff, one outdoors, one in the bar and one in the dining room, they have them all overlapping covering multiple tables and providing poor service for everyone. It took an hour and a half to have lunch today because the poor waitress had to work outside and inside. It hurts their tips and it's not even their fault cause they're doing their best. Management wake up and get things in order.

Located off a busy Kinderkamack Road in Oradell, Ora, meaning "now" or "right now" in Italian, has been on my list and was named Best Italian Restaurant in Bergen County in the 2025 Daily Voice Readers' Choice Awards. A reservation was easily made via Toast. Upon entering as first-timers, my partner and I were greeted by the host inside this multi-level space with the vibe of a modern farmhouse, featuring warm wood tones, exposed rafters, and chic finishes accented by soft mercury lighting. One can dine in the main room, al fresco on the outside patio, weather permitting, or at one of the many top tables at the bar. We were seated promptly at a cozy table ready inside the main dining room. Their menu features a well-executed spin on Italian cuisine. As a starter, we decided on the Basil Pesto Arancini to share. For the main meal, we opted for one of today's specials, 8oz Prime Spinalis accompanied by Mac & Cheese sans crab meat and Dayboat Sea Scallops. Even saved room for some dessert and decided on the Chocolate Tortino and Soft Serve Gelato Copette. Washed them down with Franganza Spritz. Complimentary housemade bread with whipped butter started our meal. Every dish had flair and stood up against the next. Presentations kept our eyes wide as everything arrived to the table, and even the more straightforward preparations had a little something special about them. Everything was delicious; we really don't think one could go wrong with anything on the menu. What truly elevated the night, though, was our server, Clark. He went above and beyond, attentive without being intrusive, genuinely kind, and clearly passionate about making sure we had the best experience possible. It made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. Can't wait to dine here again!

It was a combination of Italian seasonings, garlic, and olive oil. I'd also like to acknowledge my food was served in a timely manner and the dedicated waiter works with a sense of urgency. The chicken parmesan entrée comes with vegetables and mashed potatoes. Pasta is only served upon request, but that was not mentioned on the menu. The red sauce was watery and cutlet was on the thicker side. I acknowledge the effort, but regretfully this CP was not my top choice.

The restaurant adjusted its hours to 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and the menu was limited for the holiday, but there were still plenty of appealing choices. We enjoyed our meal--the food was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The service was friendly and attentive, and the welcoming atmosphere made it a nice place to celebrate Mother's Day with family. Overall, it was a very pleasant first visit, and we'll definitely be back to try more of the regular menu. Supporting local businesses like Andiamo is always worthwhile.

Andiamo 23 Hardenburgh Ave…read more Haworth NJ 07641 Chicken Francese Linda's Chocolate Lava Cake Located in the quiet suburban town of Haworth is a fine Italian restaurant. Chicken Francese: Two fairly sized tender, juicy chicken cutlets were smothered in Francese sauce. The sauce paired well with the basmati rice and even the table bread (not pictured). I enjoyed the sauce so much I requested an extra cup on the side so there was more to blend with the entrée. The chef made a wise decision to separate the grain from the francese sauce because that would given the rice a mushy texture. Linda's Chocolate Lava Cake: This decadent dessert was truly a masterpiece. It included a scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. The round chocolate cake was spongy on the outside while warm and moist on the inside. The best part was the warm chocolate pudding filling in the center. It is a win-win if you have the cake myself or if you combine with the ice cream or whipped cream. The whipped topping tastes above and beyond because it was freshly made in house. In addition to being a great meal, the service was on point. Server Kelly and the other staff were very attentive. They continually checked up on us and made sure we were taken care of. It shows the servers commute well and work together as a great team. I was even impressed with the friendliness of the hosts stationed near the door. They welcomed us into the restaurant and wished us a wonderful evening on our way out. #andiamo #haworthnj #chickenfrancese #lindaschocolatelavacake #chocolatelavacake

My last review was actually awarded my 4th ROTD on June 25, 2020. This restaurant is still a BYO restaurant. We were visiting here to attend a family affair.

I enjoyed my usual complimentary house salad. I also enjoyed my huge veal chop milanese giardineira for $39. Yolanda and the rest of the staff served us very well. My total bill was $242 excluding gratuity. We agreed we will return here again if we have another family affair in this area.

On multiple weekends, we're left to ring indefinitely, sometimes not getting through even checking back after an hour--you're losing business! Dante's has the area's closest to a classic NY slice: a sweet sauce without going overboard on the cheese. Their grilled chicken is also great, and we haven't gone wrong with any of their salads or chicken entrees. They're also my preference for chicken parm in the area. Downsides are the side salads, which are a little weak and don't taste as fresh, and the pasta marinara side, which also is blander. And the phones--the phones!

It was busy in there. I got to try to regular cheese pizza that was excellent. Liked the semi thin crust with a thick layer of cheese and sauce on top. The cheesesteak was decent, had a good mix of the beef and cheese. The wings were dry bone kind. This was my second time having meal from Dante's and both times I felt their pizzas were solid quality but other items such as salad, wings, sandwiches were less appealing.
