    Living in Bergen County, NJ, close to Manhattan, there are many options for Italian food. Opened in 1998 across the street from the Holy Name Hospital on Cedar Lane in Teaneck, my partner, our friends, and I decided on dinner here as first-timers for some of us inside a renovated carriage house. Parking is limited in front of the restaurant, but one can park on a nearby side street or across the street in a parking lot. We had dinner reservations for a party of 7 on Saturday night by calling the main line to Amarone, clearly popular with the locals. Upon arrival at this small, quaint establishment, my partner, our friends and I were greeted by one of the owners and seated promptly in one of their dining rooms at a table covered with white tablecloth. The vibe was relaxed with dim lighting. The menu is varied, serving authentic and traditional Northern Italian fare. There's a separate menu of the day's specials. For appetizers, we decided on some specials consisting of Fried Zucchini Flowers, Pear Salad, Oyster Cocktail, Homemade Crab Cake, Calamari Fritti, and Mista Salad. Our main entrees were Lasagna, Linguini Vongole, Beef Meatballs, and Penne Con Carciofi. Complimentary bread started our meal. The food was expertly prepared to perfection. The ingredients used were fresh, and those flavors were familiar and comforting. The pastas were perfectly cooked, and the sauces were rich and delightful. Portions were spot on. After our meal, the staff brought a complimentary pumpkin tartufo with a lit candle to celebrate a friend's birthday.   The restaurant management made sure one felt at home, and the owners Nick and Nick would check on us periodically. Our server Juan Carlos was knowledgeable, attentive, and accommodating. The prices weren't really for budget-sensitive patrons. Yet at the same time, they were quite reasonable, especially given the overall excellence of the dining experience.   If you haven't been here, you should. If you have, then you need to come back again, and we can recommend this place.

    Caprese appetizer, one of two

    We had dinner outside on a July night - The Osso Bucco was very tender and gnocchi's pretty good as well. Jimmy, the waiter brought us out some nice Italian bread and virgin olive oil organic from Italy. Nice touch. We actually started with the Caprese salad, which had a delicious roasted red pepper on top. Very nice touch! My colleague is a bit finicky with his taste, doesn't like cheese or anything, but he had two massive pieces of very nice chicken just the way he likes it. Seasoned well. I think what I most enjoyed was the waiter was willing to make changes to our meals just like we asked .

    Quaint place and great service! Some dishes were fantastic but I chose the bland one which is my fault. I wouldn't recommend the eggplant ravioli however everything else was great!

    Salmon with brandy cream sauce

    Very good meal! Their Pinot noir bottle was delicious and reasonable. Every appetizer was wonderful. We enjoyed the chef cheese plate, the calamari, and three different salads. Everyone was satisfied. Water was refilled promptly. Service was excellent. Dinner was amazing. My daughter had the steak and said it was tasty. Husband had the duck - perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on inside. I had the salmon, it could have been cooked a tad longer but that is my own personal preference. Everyone else at the table Enjoyed their meals. Solid 4.5 stars!

    First time to place a delivery order from Amarone Rest. Delivery was early The salmon was amazing and interesting: medium crispy in the sides; it was fresh, tasty, good amount. Great presentation. It comes with steamed vegetables and 1/2 pc. of baguette on the side. The salmon goes with A little soft, sweet sauce with peas and Mustard; Bravooo!!! salad was fine. $$ price I will recommend this place for sure. God bless you, guys

    Celebrated my moms birthday here covid style and it was a hit amongst our family! Got to try a few dishes including the fried calamari, grilled octopus, lobster ravioli, black linguini tutto mare, veal, and a chicken dish which were all so deliciously prepared. BUT if I were to choose the absolute essentials you MUST order from here, you really cannot go wrong with the grilled octopus and black linguini... both dishes were so yummy and truly like no Italian food I've had in this area. In particular, it was my first time trying octopus and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I found myself grabbing for more. I think a restaurant that can make octopus appetizing is a true winner in my book :-) To top it all off, our waiter was soo friendly-he constantly checked up on us and struck up conversation every so often which added a very personal touch to the service. He even brought out a few extra candles in an attempt to keep us warm from the cold October evening which was very considerate. All in all, Amarone is a gem in the area that you don't want to miss :) definitely recommend!

    Amorone is a friendly, welcoming and warm Italian restaurant right across the street from Holy Name hospital. My fiancé and I ordered the grilled octopus as our appetizer, which came with cannellini beans. I would have never thought of the two paired, but it was surprisingly good. I then ordered the Black Linguine Tuttomare as my entree dish. It came with homemade black pasta, shrimp, calamari, mussels, clams, garlic and tomato sauce, this dish was also just good. Overall I thought both dishes lacked flavor. It needed some spice or some type of oomph to it.

    Grilled octopus
    Marita S.

    Five star service from the time we walked in we were greeted warmly and seated inside at a very cozy table for two. Amazing tasty cuisine... grilled octopus with beans, linguine tutto mare, grilled fresh fish , and for our sweet ending we had the decadent tiramisu with delicious cappuccino. They were very well staffed, truly five star service!!! We were very well taken care of!!! Compliments to your Chef and entire staff!!!

    Pasta Fagioli

    Great spot for classic Italian vibes. Tres leches cake was a good addition, impulsive but worth it. Perfect night for soup and branched out for the duck. Next time, I'd try the pasta dishes vs the duck.

    ( Note: actually 3.5 Stars if I could) Amarone has been at its current location for many years. Street parking with outdoor dining offered, and the interior is a lot bigger than I thought from an outside view. Staff is very nice & helpful with questions. But I gave it a mediocre review because I felt the food & presentation were, well....mediocre. And there is nothing wrong with that. Nice menu that has a lot of choices at VERY fair prices.From the interactions I saw, they have a very faithful, regular customer base. Restaurants like these succeed because you probably get a good meal at a very decent price consistently. Enough said. ( Note: I know people who order chicken parm at EVERY Italian restaurant they go to. Why? Because there are no " bad" surprises. ) I assume that's the rationale of this steady crowd. It's a good place for a good meal. After work. Instead of cooking. I can't recall what we had as it has been approx 2 months and nothing really POPPED out and said wow. However I do not recommend the fried calamari as I'm pretty sure it is the frozen variety. Very good wine list though

Located on the busy West Pleasant Avenue in Maywood, my partner, our friends, and I decided on Amici's, translated from the Italian meaning "friends." Upon arrival for some of us as first-timers at this family-owned BYOB neighborhood establishment, we were greeted by the staff and got a table for 5 inside one of the dining rooms by the window for a celebratory dinner. Outside dining is available, weather permitting. Their menu features authentic Italian staples such as wood-fired pizzas, classic pasta dishes, and homemade comfort food. As appetizers, we decided on the Rice Balls with vodka sauce. For our main meal, we opted for the Flounder Francese, Eggplant Parmigiana (one with spaghetti and another with linguini), Paccheri with Seafood, Roma Pizza, and Tossed Salad. Some meal accompanied by a side salad. Complimentary bread began our meal. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. One can tell they take pride in their ingredients and preparation. The pasta especially deserves all the hype, rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were healthy and suitable for a second meal. The prices were reasonable. The owner, Rosario, would personally visit each table for small talk. The entire staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our experience special; our server was Dawne. So, the next time one sits down to eat, take a moment to appreciate the experience. Savor the flavors, yes, but also relish the connections that form across the table. In a world that sometimes feels divided, food serves as a reminder of our shared connections. This is exactly how a business needs to be run; therefore, we highly recommend Amici's to anyone looking for true back-home dining.

    So, the comfort that I didn't quite find at my hotel? I found it here -- at an Italian restaurant…read more I wasn't so much in the mood for Italian food as I was for patio/al fresco dining and something delicious to drink. The food was an afterthought (initially). At Aumm Aumm, it (the food) became the main story. My rideshare dropped me off and I thought, 'This will do.' A large patio in the late spring sun was just what I needed. I walked in and said I was a party of one and I wanted to eat outside. Done. Soon, a very chatty and kind waiter was taking good care of me and offering a glass bottle of still water.* As I am wont to do, I ate in waves: appetizer and main course (and, if I have the room/interest, dessert). A drink and a solid. A began my meal with the burrata. Rarely can you go wrong with a ball of cheese but this was a silky, milky sphere of mozzarella, served with oranges, toasted walnuts & topped with truffle honey. Truffle honey. I tried to pair every bite with cheese, citrus, nut, and honey and each time I was successful, my mouth sang. To accompany my chews, my waiter suggested Rancoli Vermentino, a dry white with a crisp finish and enough adjacency to the fruit components of the burrata to make it make sense. Lovely. I forgot that I was in Jersey. For my main, I had a GF version of the pennoni alla genovese napoletana - slow-cooked caramelized onions & diced beef pasta. Simple but incredibly flavorful (which, I've learned, is what Italian food is all about). The plate was large and I could smell it before I saw it (a very good thing). To help bring the dish to life, my waiter suggested a warm red blend (earthy, cherry/berry forward). He was correct on the type of wine but I was a bit disappointed in the price point. Believe me, I know the ins and outs of the restaurant biz, but this glass should have been (at least) a couple of dollars cheaper (knowing what I could get a bottle for). This slight faux pas lessened my rating to a 4. Not the end of the world. Just know what you're paying for before committing. I was pleasantly full so I passed on dessert/coffee. Th NJ sales tax was less than I was used to but the dreaded credit card charge fee made an appearance. I probably spent more money on dinner than I would at present but I don't regret the experience. I slept very well that night. *There was a charge. Know before you go.
