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

The service at Fanny's was impeccable, the food was amazing. I especially loved the eggplant parm and the vodka pasta. Fantastic vibes and great service all around. 10/10 recommend! read more

Must try! Great service! Great Vibe! Ladyfingers attached is amazing! read more

I went to Fanny's and actually enjoyed the place but after having been charged 4 times for the same bill, I called and left several messages. After I got no return phone call, I called during business hours and twice left my name, phone number and a brief message about the situation that I was promised was going to be passed on to a manager because miraculously, a manager was never there when I called. This is infuriating and now I will have to dispute with my CC company which could take months. I don't want a refund on what I spent, I want the money that they erroneously took from my account. Is it too much to ask? read more

Fanny's - Charged 4 times. The different charge is with added gratuity. That should be the only charge. - Wine Bars Near Me - Bloomfield, New Jersey

Food was GREAT and the service was absolutely stellar. Love the look of the place, great for date night or night out with friends. We had focaccia, calamari, Franny's house salad, chicken parm, chicken Marsala and flounder. All winners. Drinks outstanding. The olive oil cake was lovely but not like Maialino's which I love. I would definitely return, did not disappoint! read more

Run, don't walk...but do make a reservation! Seriously, one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Called on a Friday evening for a last-minute reservation and from the moment we walked in the door, the staff could not have been more incredible. The hostesses were super accommodating and efficient, the bartenders are slinging delicious and innovative cocktails, the servers are buzzing around a very busy restaurant making sure every water glass is topped off and every dish is coming out of the kitchen is piping hot. Rarely can this be said, but there's not one criticism I can think of for our experience tonight. From beginning to end, the Fanny's crew is putting in work and firing on all cylinders. Amazing food and drinks, beautiful space with a modern and classy aesthetic, absolute top-shelf music selection (loud enough to set the vibe, not so loud that you have to yell at your dinner companions...a concept many NJ restaurants have yet to grasp lol). Cannot wait to go back and try some other cocktails and dishes. To the Fanny's management and staff, don't change a thing. In your short time being open, you have nailed what it means to offer next level operations and dining experience! read more

Fanny's has a sexy and beautiful interior, but the food was disappointing. Both the shrimp scampi and pasta vodka tasted the same with watered-down sauces. The pasta was undercooked and not al dente. It may be a better choice for drinks rather than dining. read more

The food is amazing. The service is amazing. The ambiance is amazing. Prricing is excellent. This review is way over due. We came on a Friday night and sat at the bar and ordered: - Crab salad. We have ordered it every single time we've been here. It is very fresh and delicious. - Eggplant parm. My wife ordered it, which puzzled me as she is a meat lover... she raved about it. - Heritage pork chop milanese. It's a legit pork chop, but it's so nicely done. Classy. - Cannelloni. This is definitely a dish to come back for! You NEED to dip a piece or the pork chop in the Cannelloni sauce. Thank me later. We will 100% come back here for the food. But it really helps that the place is beautiful and the staff is so nice and fun. Don't let the "Italian Restaurant" stereotype fool you. This place is fire! read more

Wow, this place blew me away. The beer and wine list had nice selections (i went for the Prosecco rosé). Every menu item we tried was incredible - shrimp arancini, broccolini with whipped ricotta, cannelini ravioli (my personal fave), chicken Marsala, and tiramisu ice cream cake. The service was really accommodating without being suffocating. This restaurant will 100% be in our regular rotation - I am already craving that ravioli again! read more

Our first time here and we loved it. Ordered Fanny's chopped salad with their Very Very good dressing (that's what it is actually called) and it was excellent, Wagu meatballs with polenta, (excellent) and the Eggplant Parm which was also excellent and not greasy. Don't forget to get an order of Focaccia that comes with the seasoned butter (scrumptious). Service was extremely friendly and also excellent. WE WILL BE BACK ! read more

Fanny's was listed as one of the 21 best plates of Chicken Parm in NJ by NJ.com, so we decided to try it. It was lousy. Thin, tough, overcooked, overbreaded, undersauced, under cheesed, and expensive. No joke, like twice what the local pizzeria would charge. Didn't come with pasta. Worse, while the restaurant decor was interesting, the music was awful (disco remixed to worse disco) and loud. This on an uncrowded Tuesday night. Also had the Sunday Sauce pasta, which was ok, but very little actual sauce. There was sour cream rather than ricotta cheese. It didn't work. The pasta itself was great though. Service was adequate. Overall: Very disappointing. read more

Franny's! What a fantastic experience! Amazing hospitality and service. Shout out to Tom who made us feel more than special and made us feel at home. Food was on point and delicious. Fresh pasta's and unique appetizers. Ambience was cozy and warm. This is our new go to Italian place in Montclair. read more

Such a great place for a little b-day dinner too! Great food, nice vibe, professional waitresses!! Definitely we'll come back!!! read more

Food - Focaccia bread is to die for. Humongous and fluffy and flavorful. A fantastic "snack" to start off with. Tuna crudo was a can't miss dish for us. Absolutely delightful, and pictured! Flavorful, fresh, and beautiful! Both pasta dishes tried were delicious. The veal pasta was fresh, filling, and flavorful. The vodka was an amazing, classic, and well done dish. Servings are filling as they should be so come with an empty stomach! Drinks - only tried one but it was divine! Definitely want to come back and test out more of the cocktails. Ambiance - beautiful, classy interior with music that was not loud or obnoxious. Could easily have a conversation and bop your head along. Service - fantastic, attentive. Truly feels like a family owned establishment where you know everyone who works there. Managers/owners came over to say hello and ask how everything was. Great touch that wrapped up a great evening here. Can't wait to come back with more room for dessert! read more

First time here and was really impressed!! Very cool atmosphere beautifully decorated restaurant. Busy for 6:30 on a Saturday night. Service was extremely attentive and friendly. Had probably the best chicken marsala I've ever had and I've had many over the years. My husband had the pork chop that was absolutely melt in your mouth, outstanding!! We started with the meatballs which were very flavorful and just enough for two people. We will definitely be back. read more

Everything was wrong. Sunday night-only one other couple. There. My husband and I for my birthday. Been here several times before and loved it. To be concise-Nothing seemed fresh flavorful or inviting. Clams oreganata were just a clam with dry burnt bread crumbs on top. I scraped it off and just ate the clams as I was was starving. . My guys cod was lackluster and the bit of broccoli tasted weird. Then came my anticipated star dish-eggplant parm-which I've had here before and loved. I tell you this was nowhere near parmigiana. More like a reheated, flavorless casserole-no sauce, no mozzarella. Just dried out ricotta with a few small pcs. of tomato bits. WTH! it was so dry and flavorless to be inedible. I sent it back. The manager Peter came and apologized because the chef didn; t. Actually, I doubt there was one there that night. Nothing was freshly put together. Oh-and the side of spaghetti that we requested in "oil and garlic" was terrible-dried stuck together spaghetti which, at ine time may have been cooked with a touch of butter--no oil or trace of any liquid and not a taste of garlic. Worse than a cafeteria would serve or at a buffet that was about to finish for the night. I kid you not! I regret not taking pics. At the time the last dish-eggplant came out I'd had enough. The staff was pleasant. I am more than disappointed. What happened here? I can't figure out how this is even the same restaurant. No pride in any of these dishes. I'm sorry to write this, but feel future customers and management should be aware. Do better Fannys. The bread was good. read more

Second time at Fanny's, and had many of the same problems. Not much flavor to the whipped ricotta crostones or the chicken parm. And the zeppoles for dessert came out raw in the center, had to send those back. The temperature in the restaurant varied from freezing cold to burning hot, the same problem they had when we came not long after they opened last year. read more

Went around 5:15 on a Mon night. It was not busy. Very nice dining room with very comfortable chairs and the service was very good. Overall, we had a nice time but food needs a couple of tweaks to make the experience even better. We started with the harissa carrots as an app. Carrots were alittle undercooked and while we were warned that this is a spicy dish, I would recommend the restaurant pull back on the harissa. Carrots and harissa are a nice flavor combo but you could only taste the harissa. I had the Heritage pork chop milanese and my husband had the vodka parm which is really a chicken parm. He loved it and said it reminded him of the chicken parm at Emilio's in NY. His only recommendation would be to ramp up the tomato flavor on the red sauce. Chicken, breading, cheese were all spot on. Now to the Heritage pork chop milanese. Yes, it's huge and looked very impressive on the plate. It looks to be a "on the bone" double cut that they butterfly then pound thin. Half of mine was so thin that it was overcooked, the ok half was very chewy. Since the pounded meat takes up the whole plate, the salad is piled on top of the meat and makes the breading soggy. I recommend the chef relook at this dish. Heritage pork should be tender and very tasty but this recipe does not play to heritage pork strengths and was very unsatisfying. I would not order this again in it's current form. We had zeppoles for dessert and they were very light, puffy and hot. Not sure that they were better than the St Ann's festival zeppoles in Hoboken but they are pretty good and you won't be disappointed. Overall, this restaurant has alot of potential. I hope the owners/chef's keep improving and perfecting their dishes. I would come back. read more

The food was decent, but the service sucked. The waitress kept coming by to ask if we wanted another round of drinks when we weren't even finished with ours, as she was trying to rack up the bill. Meanwhile, our water was empty and not refilled nor did she ask if we needed anything after we got our food?! I know times are hard during this economic state but it left a bad taste.. think her name was Gabby. Also, there is a 3.5$ service fee for using credit card just fyi. Needless to say, will NOT be back. Food is one thing but atmosphere and experience is another, and it did not pass the vibe check. read more

The restaurant and bar are beautifully and uniquely decorated- very cool vibe. The staff is attentive and meticulous. The cocktails are creative and the food is delicious. I think I have a new favorite restaurant. read more

The restaurant was very cute, clean, and cozy. Music was definitely a little loud. Service was friendly. Food was just okay though. We had the calamari which was regular and nothing exciting. We also had the burrata which was lacking flavor. It also didn't come with bread which was odd, so we had to order focaccia separately which was an additional charge. Focaccia was nice. It came with some sort of butter which was not listed on the menu. The Caesar salad was simple but definitely underwhelming. Gave almost Panera Bread vibes. We were overall a little bored with our appetizer choices, so we didn't end up ordering dinner. Overall an okay experience when it came to the food. So we won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Absolutely delicious food and drink. You must try the baked clams, ricotta crostone, all of the pastas, the steak and honestly cannot wait to go back to try more. Tons of flavor and great portions. The bartender was excellent and made us some shots for celebrating a birthday and all cocktails were very well balanced. Service was spot on and our server was very nice and the perfect amount of attentive. We didn't have to ask for anything! The ambience of the restaurant is also very beautiful - cannot wait to host a private event there one day! Thank you for making my wife's birthday special! read more

I really wanted to love this place ... but we were really disappointed. Service was terrible. From the time we sat down we waited to get water, waited for someone to come say hi and take our drink order. No one cleared our app plates and then meals came and me and my friend stacked our own dishes so server could put down entrees. They never refilled our water. Waiting for check at end of night was torture (we watched the wait staff laughing and talking while we were waiting ). The food was not good. Both of us agreed. Neither of finished. The place/ambiance is awesome. So there's that. And they have a liquor license. read more

Food very tasty. Trendy Italian. Nice selection of tasty food. Full bar. We would go back.

Very Chicago! That's a good thing! Soft chewy cheesy hot and fun. Waitress was particularly sweet and attentive.

Great decor, flavorful food and wonderful service! There was not one dish we felt iffy about and the concept of the bakery/restaurant duo is executed so well. Nothing bums out more than a beautiful/modern space with mediocre food.. so my friend and I were pleasantly surprised! Would definitely recommend, and we will be back in the future! read more

Went on a Thursday night with no reservations and got seated right away. The service and ambiance were great! Apps were a 10/10. The cocktail and main entrees were okay. I got the pasta w/ vodka sauce and it wasn't great. I do want to try again but might just stick with just apps and drinks next time. read more

We came on a Sunday at 5:00pm. There was only one waitress at the time so there was a bit of a wait once other patrons arrived. It's a definitely a beautiful space for dinner, but the bar is right in the dining area so those conversations took over the space. The food is overall good, but not the best Italian food I've ever had. The portions were on the smaller side and the chicken parm and eggplant parm dishes don't come with sides - there's no option to order pasta as an accompaniment. read more

I had my daughter's bridal shower at Fannys over the weekend. It's a beautiful space lots of room. The food was amazing the guests were all commenting on how good it was! The service was also amazing especially Eric who was always checking in to see if we needed anything and making sure the bride was good! We were very happy we picked Fanny's!! read more

I enjoyed the beautiful concept of the restaurant connected to the bakery and bar, especially combined with the adjacent sports bar, creating a delightful trio. Stopping in for a drink at the bar and trying the steak pizzaiola was a fantastic choice; it was very good. Fanny's is not yet a 4, but also not exactly a 3. Again, still very good and I will continue to come here and reccomend you as well. read more

A good vibe and amazing drinks! Service was awesome! I also love that they have a Jazz band on certain nights! Will be back for sure!

This place is absolutely amazing, from the moment you walk in, to when you leave. Fanny's reminds me of a speak easy because you have to walk through the bakery to get to the restaurant. The environment is warm & fun. And honey don't get me started on the food, absolutely mouth watering; every bite is like an explosion of flavors. {P. S. if you love sweets, order the tiramisu it come w/ ice cream (my favorite)} read more

We loved Fanny's. From the moment we stepped in, the ambience and hospitality was fantastic. The hostess was warm and welcoming, and we absolutely loved our waitress Yolanda. She was terrific! We loved our drinks, apps and entrees. We didn't save room for dessert, but we will next time. Fanny's is a welcome addition to the Brookdale neighborhood! read more

Nice atmosphere and bar. Arrancini balls with pesto with a side of tomato sauce was perfectly cooked. Crab salad was ok, the dressing could have been tastier. Service was great, friendly and attentive. Don't go on a weekend though... the disco music is so loud you can't hear anyone at the table. Weekdays is much quieter. read more

Food was 20/10! Such a great vibe! I loved every single part of my dinner. Loved the cocktail menu! Can't wait to come back. read more

Tried Fanny's and found the entire experience mediocre. We had a reservation and were immediately seated. Only a few others in the restaurant. Menus dropped and we ordered water. Staff tripping over each other and water poured 5 minutes later. Server took our drink orders, then came back to the table to take our food order. Apps and dinner required to be ordered together. So we order. The Appetizers show up and still no drinks. Drinks come immediately followed by our dinner. Food is meh. Service is meh. This place has an identity crisis. Not really a diner, not an Italian restaurant, not a pub. I'm not sure what this place is. But it's not good. priced out of its league. read more
