I really enjoyed my experience here! This place is a little hard to find but once you're inside, it's very clean and staff is great! If you're coming from the street, you have to walk through ladyfingers. We came on a Friday night and it was very quiet. I was surprised at how cheap the cocktails were and the funny how was delicious! The bread was so good - warm and fluffy and comes with a very tasty butter! Almost reminded me of garlic bread. We also had the zucchini fritters that we enjoyed. The chicken parm was highly recommended by the waitress and did not disappoint. It was huge and definitely enough to share or have leftovers. My friends enjoyed their pasta and shrimp scampi as well. read more

Great ambience. Half and half connected with a delicious bakery as well. My server was very nice and guided us with what to order. However, the sauce on the meatballs was so incredibly salty this night , I'm not sure if it's always like this. It was almost inedible and I love salt. The appetizers were truly great and I'm certain that if it was less salty it would've been perfect !! read more

Food was great! My party had their doubts cause they never heard of the restaurant, and none of us vetted it before but when I saw the nduja in the clams, I knew I had to try it. The food was incredible and we all agreed that there was no bad dish. Focaccia/clams/meat balls for apps - each better than the next. Lobster pasta spicy/ vodka pasta/ blueberry steak for 2/ brussel sprouts = insane. The steak had actual blueberry compote but you didn't taste it unless you ate a lot of the compote intentionally. Steak was perfectly seasons and looked well done when we requested medium but it was so soft and juicy that it couldn't be well done in my opinion... even if it looked like it. The Brussel sprouts were also incredible but too small a portion for a party of 4. Cocktails were a miss; I wouldn't come here for drinks or wine... just the food! Ambiance was nice but extremely loud just with groups chatting. The set up is brilliant with boots, semi booths and tables. I'd go back! read more

This is a hidden Italian gem in Bloomfield. I always drove by this place but never thought much of it. We were invited to Fanny's for a bite to eat. Okay just so you know there are two ways to get in. First through the bakery which desserts look good. Second through the back parking lot. Now the ambiance is pretty dark fyi. The service was good too. I had the calamari for the appetizer and the stuff clams. For dinner I thought the flounder francaise was pretty good. Overall it's a nice place to grab a decent meal and chill. read more

Had a wonderful Tuesday night dinner experience at Fanny's. Tucked away behind a cute bakery/bar (Ladyfingers), my friend and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Fannys. We were seated at a corner table and had very attentive wait service. We each had a glass of wine. Shared the whipped ricotta appetizer (which was to die for) and a salad. For the main meal we shared the eggplant parm and the homemade pasta vodka. Both incredibly tasty. We ended up taking to go as it was to much food for us to finish. Would highly recommend this hidden gem. read more

Stopped in Fannys for a quick but delicious meal and it delivered. The food was very flavorful and you can tell it was freshly made. We were starving and nearly finished our meals leaving little left overs. It's a dimly lit restaurant with plenty of parking behind the building. I can't wait to come for a slower more relaxed night out when we can stay a little longer because I would love to try their drinks read more

Delicious food, great service and ambiance is very chill. I love how easy their website is to place orders and how quick the service is. Chicken Parm is outstanding. Their red sauce is rich, not acidic, a bit on the sweet side. You can tell it's cooked down for a while so it's nice and thick. Meatballs are as good as my mother in-laws and she makes the best. So much flavor, super moist, And tasty. It's served over the fluffiest polenta, our children loved this dish. Honestly, really amazing food. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped in last night with a group of 5 other girls! Our server was helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. We ordered a bunch of appetizers for the table and each was better than the next. The whipped ricotta crustini was probably my favorite followed by the truffle arancini (not pictured). All of our entrees were delicious- I got chicken vodka parm. We finished with a few different orders on dessert and wow- what a way to close the night. Definitely will be back to try more of the yummy menu. read more

Fun space, loved the attention to detail from the wallpaper, down to the glassware everything had so much character. Seats were designed to sit for hours and the bar was super swanky and cute. The food itself was wonderful and the star was the vodka sauce pasta (6/5) Founder was also excellently prepared not too much sauce and paired with broccolini The burrata was delightful and the truffle aricini balls were YUM. Crispy goodness and piping hot I also loved that they were smaller in size and easier to eat. The chopped salad was fine a little over dressed for my taste but shareable. Drinks left me a little wanting, my Prosecco was room temp and my friends drink was also just ok. Maybe stick to wine and beer. Next to the restaurant which you walk through in order to get in was the lady fingers dessert spot. I'll leave that review separately! Smart tactic! read more

We were in the mood for chicken parm and Sunday sauce, garlic bread, a glass of decent chianti--and Fanny's more than fulfilled our desires. Red sauce Italian is everywhere in North Jersey, but not this good while remaining casual, with (of course) pasta on the side. Not to say they can't go fancy: the broccolini side dish, for instance, comes with ricotta, garlic chips, and Calabrian chili. And if you're in the mood for dessert: the zeppoli are done just right and for once don't burn your fingers. The service is excellent, too. Would we go back? This could easily become a weekly habit. read more

This is hands down my favorite restaurant in town. Seasonal menu, the food ALWAYSSSSS smacks! The service is always attentive and very helpful in deciding since the menu always changes. Also cute spot for girls dinner, date night or even a bday dinner! Great for photo ops tooo! Even the brunch slapped! read more

Me and my girlfriend came here to do our book review and had a great time. From the moment we came in we were greeted with a friendly smile from the hostess . Our waitress was very attentive and gave some good recommendations when it came to the cocktails. We ordered the Vodka Parm and shrimp scampi which were very delicious and filling. It was seasoned very well and definitely would recommend either dish. The vodka parm is def a lot so get ready to take some to go. We also had the CAULIFLOWER SCARPARIELLO as an appetizer and it was SOOO DELICIOUS!! However they prepped this was simply perfect. We had zeppoli and olive oil cake. Both were tasty but would recommend the zeppoli over the cake. The cake was more like a pound cake nothing to memorable about it. We had the funny how? Which was okay very refreshing. However I personally liked the Two Yutes better as it was sweeter in taste . Ambiance is a great spot for a date or hang out spot. It wasn't too loud and had good lighting for us to be able to look at our books . read more

Great addition to the NJ Food Scene..! Beautiful interior setup with great ambiance. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful, and the service was pretty good as well. All the dishes we ordered tasted wonderful and yummy, and exactly how you would expect it to be. Their options from the Substantials Menu are really substantial. The Pork Chops was one of the biggest I have seen, and all the Pasta options were perfectly cooked and seasoned. They have some fresh new Cocktails as well read more

Opening night, walked into a beautiful Italian restaurant. Three dining areas and a midsize bar. Full menu is available at the bar. That's where I chose to sit. Dani, was very attentive. My glass was never empty and she paired a wine with my food. Hamachi Crudo was refreshing. Crab salad is actually a tossed salad. It was made with radicchio, shaved Brussel sprouts, and arugula. There was no sign of crab and the creamy lemon vinaigrette lacked flavor. For $21 there should be a lump of crab. Saffron battered shrimp served steaming hot. Batter fell apart and the shrimp were very small. Focaccia was perfectly baked. It was large, light, crunchy top, and very good. The star was Gomiti with vodka sauce. The pasta is homemade and the sauce was the best I've ever had. 5 stars to the entire staff and the Pasta. read more

Came here tonight with my wife and two kids and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. We were even treated to a complimentary whipped ricotta to start, which was such a thoughtful touch. The tuna tartare, brightened with grapefruit, was a refreshing and flavorful opener, and the calamari was perfectly tender. For mains, my wife loved her chicken cacciatore, while I had the pork chop, juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The kids enjoyed their pasta, which kept them happy (always a win!). Overall, everything we ordered impressed us. Generous portions, great flavors, and excellent service. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a memorable meal. read more

See my other review on this place. Went back to try the other chicken parm. Quality. Not sure if it's top 5 in the state but it's good. The cocktails and the parm are worth going for, the baked clams are not. Would not order those again. Nothing special or flavorful. The service and ambiance is average but if I'm in the area in going. Not sure I'm going to drive there again though. read more

Fanny's is truly a hidden gem, and you would be doing yourself at the service if you did not go try it out! read more

We love coming here- the food is eclectic Italian, a simple cool twist. The service, the drinks, the ambiance. We come here at least twice a month. We have tried almost everything on the menu by now, and we have no complaints. It is classy, delish, and a great date night out. read more

Where do I even begin? From start to finish, this meal was wonderful. Fanny's seems to be getting a lot of publicity lately so my foodie friend and I decided to give it a whirl. There is a large parking lot in the back for those that are dining here and an entrance to the restaurant in the back as well. Immediately when walking in you can tell the vibe here is elevated yet casual. The bar is beautiful and the ambiance is top notch. Everyone was extremely friendly to us. We even struck up a nice conversation with the hostess. She was lovely. Fanny's has an extensive cocktail list with a lot of really unique options. We both opted for the Funny How? which was light and lemony. It was perfect. As far as food goes, we split the basil pesto arancini, broccolini, the pork chop, and shrimp scampi. They even gave us a free chopped salad since the food took a little extra time to come out. Everything was really tasty and came out piping hot. I loved the whipped ricotta and chili sauce that came with the broccolini. The pasta and pork chop were cooked perfectly and both flavorful. I can't wait to return. They do a special Sunday, Monday, and Tuesdays - 28pp for a pre fix menu. I am dying to give that a try since it's such a great day. read more

We were a party of 9. Service was extremely slow because they were understaffed. The entire restaurant had one official waiter. fannys was so understaffed that the bartenders came to serve food at one point. For an establishment to be understaffed during holiday season is not very good. I don't blame our waitress Yolanda as she was running around all over the place. We didn't even get water for the table until we got our check. Food was mediocre. I got the lobster Madaline- which was lacking salt and seasoning. A touch of lemon and salt would've went a long way. For $32 the entree came with very little lobster . read more

Modern, comfortable and delicious! It's not an easy feat to open up an Italian place in Jersey, but Fanny's was terrific. We all tried an app and a main and loved everything. A creative spin on Italian while still being authentic. Friendly, pro service too and cocktails were on point. It is a bit loud, but it matches the fun, celebratory vibe and we could all hear each other speak at our table. Definitely planning to return and can envision us becoming regulars. read more

Went to Fannys for dinner on a Tuesday and had an incredible time! The space is BEAUTIFUL. There was live music, which was nice. We got the Fanny's Feast and it was the best decision. It came with garlic bread, salad, pasta, short rib, sausage, and meatballs as well as whipped ricotta. There were also zeppoles included for dessert. The food was to die for - absolutely incredible. For drinks, we got an old fashioned, Two Yutes, and Never Go Against the Family. We even got complementary shots! Everything was so tasty and the presentation was beautiful. I can't wait to go back. Our server was great as well - everyone was so helpful! read more

I really wanted to order the chicken parm but at $29 and no side, I opted for the Zucca Genovese which had pasta. Tasted good but I left craving the Chicken Parm. I ordered a glass of Pinot Noir which was cold as ice. I believe red wine should be served room temperature. I could be wrong. I expressed this to the server, and she accommodated me by having a bottle opened which was room temperature. Nice place & the server was attentive. read more

The Good- i love the bar area, the seats are very comfy and the walls are nice. Seems like you were dining at a speakeasy joint. Disco music playing was a plus then it switched to 90's Hip Hop but i didn't mind. It just seemed a bit out of place. The Bad- i was LITERALLY the ONLY person sitting at the bar my entire 2+ hours dining there on a saturday evening and i waited 30 mins for baked clams and approx 27 mins for my pasta course. The Ugly- baked clams were not good. Nduja sausage, butter, chimichurri, and lemon. I don't know. It sounds good but it was just too much going on and it just wasn't for me. The most disappointing was the Amatriciana Bucatini, guanciale, pecorino, calabrian chili. The pasta was slippery meaning it wasn't al dente at all. I don't even think they used actual Guanciale. They were chunks of fat. I never had Guanciale like this before. Usually they are tiny little bite sized pieces of crispy salty pork. This was not the case! It wasn't crispy at all. It was just cooked fat. Calabrian chili?? Where?? No spice at all. I gave it 2 stars because the bartender was really nice. Overall. Big fail read more

Fanny's is a welcome addition to the culinary landscape of Bloomfield. The decor is very chic. It gives a NYC vibe. The bar is small, but really attractive. The whole place feels special. The staff is fantastic. From the hostess, to the servers, to the runners- everyone was warm, friendly and professional. We ordered Crostone with Sausage and Peppers, Fanny's Chopped Salad, Pork Chop Milanese, Red Snapper with Clam Escabeche, Tiramisu Ice Cream Cake, and Zeppoles. The Crostone was really delicious. The toasted bread was absolutely perfect, and the topping was a great mix. The Salad was just okay. I wasn't a big fan of the dressing. It was very heavy on the balsamic vinegar. The Pork Chop is massive. My husband couldn't finish it and that's unusual for him. It was beautifully crispy and extremely tender. The Red Snapper was cooked to perfection. I was hoping for more clam flavor, but I think they were canned so they didn't give that briny punch. Dessert was a real showstopper! The Tiramisu cake was the best dessert I've had in quite awhile. Trust me, it is a must order! The Zeppoles were nice and light. I think they would benefit from some berry compote on the side. I was really delighted with Fanny's. It's nice to have an Italian restaurant doing something that feels new and interesting. I look forward to returning to try more dishes! read more

Came here for the first time with my husband. I made reservations online and we were seated immediately upon arriving. All of the staff was very kind including our server. The restaurant was clean with a nice welcoming feel. I ordered the eggplant parm, my husband had the steak pizzaiola, and we shared the ricotta toast. We both really enjoyed the ricotta. My eggplant was good. It came out piping hot and was large enough for two people. My husband's steak was cooked perfectly. He really enjoyed it but it was a little on the sweeter side for my personal liking. Service was excellent throughout. Overall a great dinner and we would certainly return again! read more

2.5*...Oof, this pains me to write this review being I LOVE their sister restaurant "Brookdale". I'm not sure where to start but from the top... Seated around 6:30 with a primarily empty restaurant but apparently seating us in the section of families with kids was thought to be a great idea...great start to a date night! Server asked for drinks and and food so placed an order for the "Two Yutes" a glass of "Barco Reale Super Tuscan" and also an order of Clams. The Two Yutes was fine, nothing great, but the wine was spectacular. Unfortunately the appetizer arrived wayyy before our drinks. The clams were luke warm at best and were finished before receiving the drinks or even an acknowledgment from the server. Finally when the server arrived with drinks and an empty plate I requested bread but was informed I need to "order" bread. Fine, please give me bread so we can enjoy dunking in the leftover sauce from the clams... Waited, waited... bread arrived which was focaccia and house butter. The butter might have been the star of the night, but again we just wanted some bread to eat while we enjoyed the drinks. Entrees arrived while still eating the bread and were just "okay". The vodka parm was way too thin, too oily and on the sweet side. I love thin cutlets, but these only tasted of oil and the sparsely sweet vodka sauce atop. The pork chop was nothing like the pictures Ive seen and just didn't make sense. The pork chop was cooked perfect, but was topped with a sausage and pepper/onion "relish". The sauce was okay, but again it just didn't make sense in my opinion and was just again, "okay". The service felt completely uncomfortable, absolutely non attentive, and just made this experience super lackluster. Also, stop with the service fees, it's just tacky please work it into the pricing. Maybe I went in with high hopes and wanted more, but I didn't have or felt anything that would make me come back unfortunately. read more

I've been here three times in the last few months and I have to say from the apps to the dessert, the food here is my favorite in the area. Pluses are great parking, a liquor license ( clever delicious cocktails) and pretty space. Do try the meatballs... like grandma used to make, the chopped salad which I can't stop thinking about and the lemon cheesecake and zeppolis. A chicken parm was also to DIE for. This place has unique dishes but also takes the standards and elevates. If you've been thinking about trying it... get there. read more

Tried this place last night Friday. Loved the concept,, we had the wagyu meatballs w the polenta that was outstanding! Polenta was like Something I'd never tasted before! Crunchy & buttery & delicious. I had the scampi for dinner scampi sauce was spot on the shrimp were like rock shrimp- bite sized. I didn't not care for that. No coating no flavor. Should def have had large shrimp possibly butterflied w some flour & browned up for flavor & texture. My BF had the Amacriacana (not sure if spelling) he said it was delicious. Will definitely give it another try but def not on a wknd. Place was so loud I was practically screaming across the table to have a conversation. Over all waiters were attentive & food was good. Just too loud. We didn't get any dessert in ladyfingers but would go back to just try the bakery side of this place. read more

Fanny's - Undercooked, almost raw, paper thin pork chop. Disgusting. - The image shows a close-up of a plate with a small, partially eaten piece of food, possibly a breaded or baked item, alongside fresh green salad leaves. The plate appears to have remnants of sauce or dressing, indicating a recent meal. The setting suggests a restaurant environment, with focus on the food presentation and ingredients. - Wine Bars Near Me - Bloomfield, New Jersey

What an amazing place!! The ambience is nice and spacious. The servers are so wonderful and pleasant. The owner, Jonathan came by to see how everything was and introduce himself. Very nice touch. Glasses of wine (and they do have a bar) are fairly reasonable. $7 As for the FOOD!! DELICIOUS!! They started us with homemade focacia with this scrumptious seasoned butter. We had the broccolini with fresh ricotta and garlic chips for an app. Entres were great. Chicken parm is offered with red sauce or vodka sauce. I tried the vodka sauce. YUMMY! and their fresh homemade every day pasta was fabulous. I got the rigatoni. My friend got shrimp fra Diablo and he ate it all! He said it was great. This was our first time here. We will be back. It's not even that close to either of us. But we still feel it's worth the ride. They have a back entrance, too and parking lot back there which makes it convenient. What a wonderful experience!!! read more

Went to Fanny for dinner! Great food and great service! This restaurant is a real Hidden gem!

We went to try Fanny's with friends. Loud and boisterous with good food. The only problem is service. Our servers consistently put the wrong food in front of the wrong person. This is a pain point for me because it is service 101. We had to chase them down for water refills as well. The timing of the dishes was also not very good. That being said drinks were good and the food is quite good. If they can improve the service it would be a better rating. The fig old fashioned was excellent. We ordered the swordfish which was well received, baked clams ( fantastic), tuna Crudo, spinach salad, chicken park and the Rabbit Alla Liguere which was outstanding. So in short food 4 service 2.0 read more
