    Love the horticultural decor throughout! The food was delicious! The service was impeccable! Our server even asked if we wanted to wait a little between courses, which we love! We will definitely be back!

    First time here on a Wednesday evening, reservations were for 6:30 it was empty when we arrived. We shared the salad w/ walnuts & cranberries w Ricotta, it was fresh & delicious,enough to split. For dinner I had the taggiatelli w mushroom ragu it was absolutely amazing. My friend had the tortellini w butternut squash in this most delicious aromatic olive oil w a harvest of fall flavors & spices, also absolutely amazing. Only negative thing was they only gave her a V small "appetizer like" portion. Which is why it's not 5 stars. I had the afagotto for desert & we shared the pumpkin tart, also amazing! Pumpkin filling was def home made & tart was crusty & flavorful, it had a spun sugar pumpkin crust on the side that was like nothing I've ever had before, so delicious. Waiter was friendly,informative & attentive. There was no rush for our table bc by 7:30 this place started to fill in almost every table! On a Wednesday, no less. It was a calm beautiful atmosphere, quiet, beautifully decorated w perfect lighting. Perfect for date night!Kitchens are exposed which is a nice touch. It gave NYC upper East side vibes & i cannot wait to go back! The experience at Fiorintini was nothing short of spectacular. This chef doesn't miss!

    Love, love love the decor in this beautiful restaurant

    This was out first time here and all the food was very fresh, service was on point, Restaurant was beautiful inside, and very clean.. Food was very good. Steak tartare simple yet delish. Only suggestion is maybe serve it with some crisps or crakers on the side. Entrees and apps are small. We also got the halibut and crab ravioli, the crab ravioli was the only thing we would not get again. The burnt pieces of garlic make the dish very dark and not light, one ravioli for the dish was served. Thank God we got the papperdelle too! All in all we enjoyed our meal, and will be back again soon!

    Alright. This is a big review. I've wanted to come here for a long time and i finally did. I've read the mixed reviews and i have friends who dined there so they gave me their feedback. The place is nice. It's decorated lovely. I love the comfortable chairs as well. The service started off a bit slow but overall i can't complain. The waitress checked in on us and asked us if we needed anything. The only odd thing i noticed was when we ordered a bottle of sparkling water one of the girls poured it into 3 glasses and was going to put the bottle in the ice bucket but i already had a bottle of wine there so she took the sparkling bottle away. When she came by later during our entrees i asked about the sparkling water and she seemed a bit confused then she said the bottle was finished. That was kinda odd. I highly doubt we finished that bottle when only 3 small glasses were served but i didn't make a big deal about it. We ordered 3 apps and they came at the same time and within two mins of getting served our bread and olive oil with these salted crackers. Wish the olive oil was salted or seasoned oh yeah. MORE ON THAT LATER For apps we got the Bone Marrow with bacon onion crostini. Steak tartate was presented nicely and the onion puree went along well. We really enjoyed both of those apps. We had the scallop tartare and eventho the description of the dish sounded good it completely lacked salt. I needed salt, some spice or even lime juice. Unfortunately this dish felt flat. Ravioli stuffed with crabmeat was good I ordered scallops with this seafood sauce that had chopped clams and mussels. Very good. I highly enjoyed this dish but $46 for 3 scallops? I don't mind paying a premium price for premium quality but should be 4 scallops. My brother in law ordered the pappardelle with ragu. He was about 90% finished when he said the sauce is good but this dish needs salt. Big time. My sister tried it and says oh yeah needs salt. Now i'm curious. Because this has been brought up many times when i'm having a food conversation with my friends. I tried a sample of his dish and yeah. No salt. No seasoning. No flavor. It is what it is On to dessert. Strawberry composition wasn't a hit. Just okay and $16 for that? My carrot olive oil cake was good. Not overly sweet. Nice and moisty but they ruined it by adding a flavorless chocolate gelato on top. Why? It wasn't good at all. No need for gelato or at least put it on the side. I wouldn't complain if it tasted good but it didn't. Will i come here again? Yeah sure why not. I didn't love it but didn't hate it either. I wanna try the pasta next time i come. I want to leave there saying "i can't wait to come back" unfortunately i left there feeling it was just average.

    Been waiting to try this place for a menu that gave me more options as the menu is seasonal. I finally got an opportunity to go and it was a great experience. The ambiance is great and its decorated very well with upscale vibe. The waitress was very helpful with giving us recommendations and believes in the food along with the fresh local produce they use to create the menus. The farm to table is what really intrigued me about this place to eat with freshness and quality meals. The service was great overall! For appetizer we ordered the following: -NJ poached pear salad: which was delicious and dressed well. All the texture and flavors went together so well. Definitely recommend trying this salad as I am picky salad eater and I thoroughly enjoyed it. -Honeynut Squash Agnolotti: I was curious to try this and it did taste good however it was a little on the sweeter end for me. So as long as you like sweet this is a good option as pasta is fresh. For entrees: -handmade pappardelle with seasonal mushroom sauce: the pasta was fresh which I loved and it was seasoned well. A little too much mushroom in sauce but overall enjoyed this dish. -risotto cacio de pepe: was creamy and seasoned well. For dessert, it was ginger-pecan pumpkin which was delicious fall yumminess in a bite.

    If you're anywhere near Rutherford and haven't been to Fiorentini yet, you're seriously missing out. This is not your typical Italian spot, it's a seasonal, farm-to-table experience that brings elegance, comfort, and bold flavors together in one stunning, wood-wrapped space. Fiorentini is the passion project of Chef Antonio De Ieso, who brings his Southern Italian roots to New Jersey with a modern, elevated twist. The menu changes every quarter to reflect local harvests and small-farm partnerships, and the care in every dish shows. It's a single-page menu. Confident, focused, and intentional. Honestly, that's all it needs. The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. Beautiful wooden interior, open concept, warm lighting, it feels like you've stepped into a rustic Italian villa that just happens to know great design. It's the kind of place you could bring a date, your parents, or just yourself when you need to feel taken care of. Now, let's talk food. We started with the house bread and flaxseed crackers. That bread? Perfection. Golden crust, soft interior, exactly how it should be. The crackers added a unique, nutty flavor that made even the olive oil taste elevated. Next came the burrata with prosciutto and lemon sauce. The cheese was rich, the prosciutto soft and smoky, but the lemon sauce? That's what brought it all together. Bright, zesty, and honestly kind of genius. The lobster rolls felt like what would happen if a New England classic spent a summer in Manhattan. Refined, fresh, and full of flavor. For mains, the spinach gnocchi with peas and bacon was absolute comfort. Soft, delicate pillows of gnocchi that somehow still felt light. Meanwhile, the pork tortelloni was savory and rich, the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes for a second to appreciate what's happening. And finally, the farm-seared chicken breast. I know chicken doesn't usually steal the show, but this one absolutely did. Perfectly crisp skin, juicy inside, and the roasted carrots on the side were so good they nearly upstaged the whole plate. One important note -- Fiorentini is a dry restaurant. No alcohol. But honestly, the food is so thoughtfully done that you won't even notice. It gives the whole experience a grounded, intentional feel, and it keeps the focus exactly where it should be: on what's on your plate. Bottom line? Fiorentini is an absolute must if you appreciate great food, genuine hospitality, and thoughtful atmosphere. It's seasonal Italian with heart, depth, and just the right amount of flair. Book a table. Thank yourself later.

    Friday night winter dinner menu was amazing! My friend and I shared all of our dishes. It felt like I was in a restaurant that Gordon Ramsey would approve of! The service was amazing, Heather always checked in with us, with a beautiful, welcoming smile. She brought us the complimentary seed crackers which honestly tasted like I was eating bird food, I can love a good seed cracker but it just wasn't a tasty at all and the bread wasn't great either but it's ok that means we had more room for the rest of our food and wine! We started with the raviolone -- which I ordered because of all the cooking shows I've watched, I needed to try this! the overall appearance wasn't very inviting or appealing; it tasted ok; the mushroom ragu kind of took over - it's definitely an acquired taste. We moved onto the short rib and Napa cabbage (I love vegetables so I was excited to try this one!) and the short rib was DELICIOUS. So flavorful and tender, we could've each ordered one and still craved more! The onion foam and sunchoke chips accompanied the dish, so well, we LOVED it. The Napa cabbage was ok, as someone who makes cabbage steaks at home - I was not impressed and would've preferred my own at home cabbage steak. It wasn't my favorite and I wouldn't order again but it is nice to have a vegetarian/vegan dish on the menu, I always appreciate a veggie main dish so kudos to Chef Antonio for that! We ended the night sharing the lava cake that came with early grey gelato and a hazelnut tart like dessert (forgot the actual name) that came with coffee gelato and both were very delicious! Not too sweet but we definitely could've used another scoop of ice cream for the prices of these desserts! It's BYOB so bring your own drinks if that's your thing! Overall amazing experience, the ambience is super chic, service was great. And the food was so beautifully plated, although it could be better in some aspects of certain dishes (especially with the price point) - it was an overall great night. Thank you!

    Lovely decor for month of February

    Is it BYOB or do they have a bar?

    ALL restaurants in Rutherford are BYOB. It's a dry town.

At its core, it honors regional food heritage while continually reinventing itself with new techniques and cultural perspectives. Located on Park Avenue in the heart of Rutherford, my partner, our friends, and I determined to start 2026 for brunch as first-timers. The reservation was easily made by calling the restaurant. Upon arrival at Sonoma Bistro, we were greeted by the staff and got a table by the back wall decorated for the holidays, evoking a festive, warm, casual, and inviting vibe with music playing throughout. For some of us as a starter, we decided on the beef empanadas. As a main meal, we opted for Steak Sandwich, Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, Veggie Omelette, My Big Breakfast, and Bistro Omelette. Washed down a Hugo Spritz for toasting to the New Year. Each dish felt like a work of art, as it was beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and deliciously tasty. The chef focused on sourcing local, seasonal ingredients to ensure freshness. Our service was attentive and super friendly. Our server was George. The price was reasonable. This establishment checked all the boxes! One doesn't just come here to eat. One comes for an experience that leaves one feeling inspired, which we can recommend.

It's a really nice place to chill and treat yourself to a cozy relaxing meal. I love how their menu is a range of traditional breakfast (i.e. eggs, pancakes, bacon, omelettes, etc) to creative lunch/brunch specials like chicken enchilada, avocado toast, etc. Definitely a must-try.

The corned beef hash was especially flavorful and definitely a standout. Prices aren't too bad for breakfast, especially considering the quality of the food and service.

We're so glad we did, because this hole in the wall turned out to be a diamond in the rough. With a nondescript exterior and limited signage, Foodies Diner is easy to miss. It's in an area with mainly houses and mixed use commercial buildings, but the space inside is cozy. I especially appreciated the way the owner greeted everyone who enters and thanked everyone who leaves with notable warmth and small-town friendliness. The menu reads like a true diner - with all-day breakfast and brunch options, as well as standard lunch fare. We ordered a Santa Fe salad and an L.A. burger - which comes with avocado, bacon, onion, lettuce, and tomatoes. The burger was pretty standard, but having it delivered on a warm brioche bun feels a little bit special. The accompanying fries were also great - crisp and potatoey on the inside. The salad, on the other hand, was a near triumph. Served on a large platter, there was a small field of well-seasoned chicken, shredded cheddar, vegetables, avocado, pico de gallo, and - best yet - some pieces of warm, toasted pita. I even sprinkled some pieces of bacon from my burger into this salad, and wow did that take it over the top. I dug into this salad with fair gusto and would absolutely come back for it...which is saying something, since I wouldn't expect to fall in love with a salad at a diner. Service was fantastic, and we were pleased with how reasonably priced our meal turned out to be. There's plenty of parking - either right out front or in the lot further back.

There were so many excellent options on Park Avenue that it was hard to select one, but we wound up settling on Suprema. The restaurant was an easy 5-minute walk from the train station and was, thankfully, very warm and cozy inside on that chilly evening. The service that we experienced throughout the night was also very friendly and gracious. After we were seated, we were told that the restaurant was BYO and that there was a liquor store across the street. I decided to quickly run over and grab a bottle of wine, since we had some time to enjoy our meal before the show started. In addition to the bottle of red, we began our dinner with a complementary bread basket and an appetizer to share. Sadly, the slices of bread were rather dry and hard, so I only indulged in a few bites. However, our Rice Ball starter was unbelievable! We received three massive, fried spheres of creamy risotto and gooey mozzarella that were sitting in a sweet, herbaceous basil pomodoro sauce. They were honestly the best arancini I thought I had ever had! For my main course, I ordered the Chicken Porcini, which included two large Bell & Evans boneless chicken breasts, served over a light, creamy golden potato puree. The poultry was topped with fresh, roasted cremini and porcini mushrooms, as well as a sweet wine and porcini glaze. It felt like an upscale, modern version of a chicken marsala. I adored every aspect of the dish, from the tender chicken to the aromatic mushrooms to the homestyle mashed potatoes (an item I do not even typically like). Suprema provided a stellar meal in a relaxed atmosphere that was the perfect pre-concert vibe we were looking for. Plus, the food was amazing, so we definitely made a wise choice in picking the place.

We went for early lunch so no reservations needed. Entering inside, your in a white, large modern dining area with lots of seating, a separate private room and a full bar with bartender. Felt like we were transported to a place in Greece! The open kitchen has a front display of fresh produce and seafood for added ambiance. Very nice. And we were served by a very professional and attentive waiter named Christian. To help with the selection of my wine, he offered me some to try. I thought that was a great way for them to introduce some new choices to us. Next we chose off the lunch special menu. Great deal since this restaurant is listed as a pricey place, the lunch menu kept the bill more reasonable for us. I have to give compliments to the wait staff. There was never an empy water glass, or a finished plate left on the table, and lemon was given whenever needed. The bottom line is that everything we got was deliscious! But to narrow it down, try the Tuna Tar Tar, the Grilled Salmon and the Mango Sorbet. Heard there is a violin on some evenings, and on Thursdays evening there's dancing to the 80's and 90's music. They also have outdoors seating with and without a tent. And valet parking offered as well. Thank you Elia for having a well put together restaurant and menu. Im looking forward to Thursday evenings for the dancing.!
