    9/17/25 - I was out today on business and when it was time for lunch, I came across a place called La Strada in Millburn, NJ. La Strada is an Italian restaurant and pizzeria combined. There is full service table seating in the back and a few table seats in the front room for slice eaters like me. Overall, the place feels kind of high end. The cooks I overheard were speaking Italian to each other. The guy who took my order was like me which means he had no idea what they were saying either. This was one of those times when I wish I had my dad with me (RIP). Although he didnt speak Italian, he could pick up words and tell me what the conversation was about. I asked for one plain slice and one Margherita slice which my new counter friend brought to my table piping hot. The plain slice had a wonderful, tangy sauce and a high end premium premium mozzarella cheese. The under crust like the outer crust was crunchy and delicious. The overall flavor had a touch of char taste which was a bit surprising considering I didn't see any char whatsoever anywhere on the slice. But no complaints as flavor is flavor and this one works. The only knock here is the slice is limp. No toppings slide off when you pick it up, but you have to fold it to make it stand up. And when you fold it, theres a slight grease drip. The Margherita slice stands up a bit better than its plain cousin slice. The sauce is tangy and layered thick. And it has the most wonderful basil flavor. They use fresh mozzarella on this one and there are pieces of basil in every bite. They also drizzle olive oil on top but there is no grease drip. The crust like the plain slice is crunchy and delicious. Overall Rating: A-

    Arugula Pie. Personal size. Huge and delicious!

    Pasta-tively delightful! Super dependable and delicious Italian! Amazingly fast and friendly service. While their massive menu offers apps, salads, foccacia sandwiches, entrees, and daily specials, standouts my family loves are their Veal Parm and Signature Tortellini entrees and Arugula Pizza. Even if you do takeout or delivery, they still include a great mix of bread and a good house salad (not the shitty pale kind) with every entree. Over the last ten years, this spot remains a slice above the rest! NOTES/TIPS: **Free street parking by Taylor Park on Main St. (2 min. walk). Paid (free after Municipal Lot 1 on the corner of Main St. and Millburn Ave. (1 min. walk). **Cute inside with about 12 tables for couples and small groups. Patio in the back with a few tables in warmer months. **On Doordash. **Great for Catering and office lunch orders.

    I've loved this place since I was a kid. When I was eating gluten, this is the pizza I would dream about. Also their baked ziti. I haven't had it in ages because I'm sadly gluten free now (my body is happier, even if my taste buds aren't) but I always encourage people to come to this family-friendly restaurant. Slices are classic NJ style pizza.

    Buffalo Chicken Pizza

    Solid 3.5. Service is incredible with a young staff who is good natured and kind. Buffalo chicken pizza was good, but lacked some deeper flavor profiles. Also hard to compete with the crust at village trat in Maplewood next door so feels unfair. Will come back if in a pinch.

    Very yummy pizza place. Their outdoor seating is adorable. I just came for pick-up and service was very good.

    Sat outside for weekend lunch. Their patio had many umbrellas and tables nicely spaced and very clean. We checked out their pizzas inside before ordering!!! So many options which looked delicious. Regular pies, veggie pies, interesting combos...Regular crust or even a garlic knot crust... So difficult to decide. I ordered the bbq chicken, while others got margarita pies, and gf pizza. Mom ordered a salad with avocado and mozzarella with balsamic dressing which was delicious. Bf got the meatball parm and another niece got a chicken wrap. Everything was tasty. Pizza was awesome with great crust and flavorful sauce which was a little spicy. Overall, my favorite was the bbq pizza!!! Very good service...and a BYOB! Can't wait to return!

    My brother moved to town and my wife remember this place she used to get pizza when she was in high school. The staff is very nice. I asked for a custom pepperoni and pineapple slice for my toddler (Yes that's what he likes). I asked for her recommendation for 4 adults and she said large pie and we got the bacon chicken ranch pizza. My toddler almost at the whole slice and it's humongous. We all ate 2 slices and were very satisfied. Will definitely come back again. They also have a causal dining area and a more "formal" restaurant dining room.

    Pizza when it arrived - A partially eaten pizza with a thin crust, topped with melted cheese, tomato sauce, and spinach leaves, placed inside a cardboard pizza box. The pizza appears to be a vegetarian variety, with some slices missing, revealing the toppings and crust. The box is open, showing the pizza on a paper liner, with some kitchen items visible in the background.

    This may or may not be the fault of the restaurant....I used door dash for delivery and pizza arrived with a slice missing. I cannot comprehend where this went wrong or how it happened....

    Risotto ai gamberi - A white plate holds risotto ai gamberi, a traditional Italian rice dish topped with cooked shrimp, tomato sauce, and garnished with fresh herbs. The risotto appears creamy with visible rice grains, and the shrimp are arranged on top, partially covered by the sauce. The plate is decorated with small green herbs around the edge, and the dish is presented on a wooden table.

    The place is really nice, the service is great,and the food, is just amazing. Truly worth the money.

    Pizza pizza! - A glass display case contains several pizzas with various toppings, including vegetables and meats, arranged on metal trays. The case is part of a restaurant interior with a marble-like counter and wooden flooring, and some framed certificates or menus are visible in the background.

    They specialize in salad on your pizza. Some people may love that idea, not my first choice, but everything was good.

    We tried this place on a whim and happy we did! Used DoorDash and placed an order for pickup, so…read morecan't speak to the ambiance, but the young lady at the counter gave us a friendly greeting and wished us a good evening. Got the GARLIC-CHEESE FLATBREAD, the EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA, and the MAKE YOUR OWN with penne, meatballs, roasted garlic, and Napolitana Tomato sauce. 4/5 on the first two, 4.5/5 on the MYO. Flatbread would be really good if it were had at the restaurant instead of takeout, however air frying it to crisp up the bread would definitely address that. My GF said the eggplant was good. And the MYO I got was really good. Nice flavorful meatballs, really good sauce, and the roasted garlic was perfect a perfect addition. There was enough of a portion of each dinner for two nights of meals so value-wise, this was an excellent dinner spot. May have to try dine-in next time we come back (and we will be back).

    I finally got the chance to eat here. I ordered the carbonara special. Compared to the rest of the…read moremenu, which was very good value with pastas priced under $20. This special was a bit pricier but no problem at all as I really like carbonara. My thoughts on it was that I thought it lacked a bit in flavor but was still pretty good. I don't think I would ever get it again, but the spaghetti was all Dante and I could tell that it was made homemade and fresh and the quality of the pasta was very good. One stand out quality was that the pasta came out within five minutes of me ordering which is impeccable service. The waiters were also very friendly and asked a few times if we enjoyed our meal and if we needed anything which I appreciated. This restaurant is close to where I live and I look forward to trying it again as I think the value is very good. I would probably get something different next time.

    NOTE: Basilico is primarily BYOB, but has started to offer a very limited assortment of wines…read more Basilico is established, well-regarded in the realm of reasonable-yet-up-scale Italian dining in the Essex/Union county area, and rightfully so. I recently visited to celebrate my mom's birthday on an early Saturday afternoon. The food was spot-on and the service was very attentive. The atmosphere is nothing too over-the-top, but classy. A solid 'occasion' destination. We were first treated to a bread basket with an assortment of fresh breads and focaccia, with a trio of dips/spreads (a tomato/red pepper-ish dip, butter, and a bean dip). So good, we had to get a second basket! Annnnd onto the apps - we (a party of 6, 2 of which were kids), we ordered/shared the: Tartare di Tonno (Wild tuna tartare with cucumber, homemade chips - $17.95) - amazing, very fresh and believe it had some sort of dijon mustard kick that really took it over the top Calamari Fritti (Fried calamari with marinara sauce - $15.95) - crispy and served with a nice marinara sauce. Polpo alla Griglia (Tender charred Spanish octopus, chick peas, julienne carrots, string beans, radish, parsley, lemon, extra virgin olive oil - $20.95) - the octopus was perfectly cooked, and the chickpeas/carrots, etc., added some delightful brightness to the dish. For my meal , I opted for the trout stuffed with crab meat, capers, roasted potatoes and broccoli. The trout with crab meat was delicious and a nice sized portion as well. For dessert, we all shared the: Apple Cobbler (Served warm with cinnamon ice cream - $13.50) - absolutely divine! Probably the best one of the lot. Baked Alaska (ce cream, almond pound cake and baked meringue - $13.50) - fiery presentation and all, this one did not disappoint! Tartufo Trio (A trio of chocolate, vanilla and hazelnut semifreddo - $13.50). All in all, Basicilo is a neighborhood Italian institution, and rightfully so. Definitely worth keeping in the rotation and considered for occasions.

    Very mediocre in Millburn. As soon as they served the stale…read morebread I knew it wasn't going to be good. I started with the Calamari, it was so crunchy, nothing tender about it. Tiny pieces, most likely it was previously frozen. The Veal Scaloppine didn't have much flavor at all, very bland. The mashed potatoes had tiny chunks inside, they were not smooth. Spinach was bland. The dining room is very dated, very 90s inside with a huge vase of dead flowers, mirrors and horrible lights. I do not recommend, I would never come back.
