    The way they cook their food here is always delicious. We had calamari and oysters for appetizers. I had the Veal Neapolitan for dinner. It was my first time. It was very tasty. Tasted fresh and not dry. All my dinner companions thought their food was good too. The wait staff were very attentive and the service was at a good pace. The creme brûlée tasted fresh and not that it was sitting on a shelf. The only thing I don't like was my drink. It was bland. There were live singers that night to entertain us. Plus they wrote happy birthday in Chocolate !

    Ricardo took amazing care of my wife and me. Shrimp cocktail was super fresh; great cocktail sauce. The stuffed mozzarella appetizer special is 5.0 / 5.0. I got a veal entree with taters (lumpy not seasoned). She got pasta with clams shrimp mussels & peas. Her entree was amazing. Dessert we shared creme brûlée & tiramisu. Both excellent. Scratch made. Amazing experience. Locally owned. We will be back. Great date night. My wife is 12 days removed from the birth of our 3rd child and she looks smoking hot tonight.

    Seated pretty promptly. Lots of staff around to take care of your every need. The music was wonderful oldies type of music I heard Edith Piaf, Louis Prima, Frank Sinatra and Michael Bublé for example. I ordered the salmon and sautéed spinach dish with an appetizer of calamari. Everything tasted fresh and delicious very flavorful. I was very pleased. For dessert I got warm apple tart and it was heavenly. I enjoyed my time

    Ordered fettuccine/chicken. It was cooked perfectly. It was delicious. We also ordered the seafood salad- great! And calamari which was ok! It would have been better if they took it out a few minutes earlier.

    One of my girlfriends and I got together to get brunch. When we arrived we parked in their private lot. I walked in and was greeted by the manager/bartender Fernando. He was very nice and sat us in the bar area. There was a large party there dining as well. Fernando started us off and Antonio finished serving us. I had the mussels and fries for my meal and my friend had the Belgium waffles. The mussels were tasty and so were the fries. My friend enjoyed the waffle. I truly enjoyed my meal. Only small issue is they couldn't break my money to tip and Antonio seemed to be rushing us out at the end which wasn't cool. Everything else was cool and the bill was affordable.

    Excellent food choices and superior service today. Staff were very attentive but never annoying. Luis was a great server. I had the grilled calamari salad which was good. Wanted to try the Lobster Roll. Maybe tomorrow

    We arrived at 6:30pm for our reservation. There was a table by the front door with a thermometer but no one took our temp or had us sign in for contact tracing. The dining room was at about 30% capacity. Tables were close together and diners were not seated 6 feet apart. Server did not respect social distancing. Manager frequently pulled mask down to speak to staff and patrons. Other patrons removed their masks while walking though the restaurant. There was live entertainment so patrons had to speak loudly. It was difficult to hold a conversation. Food was average and not worth the high price tag. Appetizer plate was so hot, it could not be picked up. More and more diners were seated to the point of 1 table was available. We were so uncomfortable with the situation, we finished dinner quickly and left.

    Excellent Pollo Parmigiana

    Very good place for lunch. Three of us stopped by for lunch before heading to the airport based on a recommendation. I was very pleased. The decor was elegant and the music traditional New York Italian with Frank Sinatra playing in the background. The waiters even had a good Italian accent. Linen table cloths and other fancy features great you as you sit down to eat. They have an extensive list of lunch specials at very reasonable prices. The food portions were large and my lunch was spot on. The Pollo Parmigiana was excellent, probably the best that I have ever had. So good setting, good food selection, excellent food, at reasonable prices...sounds like a winner. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I had to run to the airport. I will eat here again when back in town.

    My wife and I have been romancing the idea of a trip to Jessica's for months. Are we classy enough?…read moreCan our simple palettes appreciate the medley of flavors throughout the menu? We decided it was worth the gamble, and boy did we hit the jackpot. We loved the BYOB option, proudly flaunting local beers while most tables had a bougie bin of ice helping to chill their wines. As we sipped on our own version of bubbly, we started with a couple of delicious appetizers - meatballs and fried burrata. While both were great, the meatballs were the clear winner, served hot in a small cast iron skillet. Moving to the main course, the pasta ragu was another hit. It had a bit of a peppery undertone, but wasn't spicy, just a wonderful blend of spices that gave it a unique flavor. For dessert, I had an apple-based dish that was a special that night. While again another creative showing, I think I'd stick to some of the simpler options on the menu (like a Caramelized banana split - YES PLEASE)

For dinner, tried the shrimp rigatoni (ridiculously good) and the ribeye. Steak was good, I just didn't love the sauce. It wasn't bad, I just prefer my steaks seasoned but dry with a lil char and full of flavor inside. Nonetheless I still enjoyed it. Staff provided great service and the new location is in a great spot, well designed, great ambiance, much bigger and pretty easy to find parking. If you haven't been to Jessica's, it's a must do. This gem that was relatively under the radar for years, is now being discovered. But the quality and consistency remains.

We ordered 2 pizzas and the carbonara. The pizzas were good. The folks were friendly and greeted us as soon as we entered the restaurant.

    I recently moved to the area and am on the hunt for my new go-to places nearby. My family and I…read moreconsist of allium-free vegetarians; traditional Italian places and vegetarian Indian/East Asian eateries, breakfast/brunch places are usually a better bet and I spotted this place on the map. I ended up giving them a try with my friend who was visiting us from out-of-state for a few days. I did call ahead of time and it didn't really fill me up with a lot of hope, but as of now, I still haven't tried any local places yet so I took my friend (omnivore, no allergies) there anyway. Also because we were on a time crunch and I had no time to look around for Option B. We went for lunch on a Thursday, maybe around 1 pm. Conveniently located near the Fanwood Train Station. They have a shared parking lot down the side and around the back (it's a dead end so the way you came in is the way you'll come out). There was no one else there but a waitress who was in the middle of decorating the blackboard with their specials and the Chef, though there was a take out order and they were bring in some deliveries. Everything seemed pretty clean but we were clearly there during their slower hours. Just as a disclaimer, I was told pretty much all their sauces there contained alliums. I ended up getting the following at my own suggestion: BLACK TRUFFLE BURRATA that came with these flatbreads. These are noted as house made; I love it when eateries make their own food from scratch! At $14, it was pretty reasonably priced but it did only come with four pieces of the bread. No free refills to my experience, but I also didn't ask. Delicious, flavorful, and simple. I fully expected to get something like this and was glad I didn't end up with a simple salad and olive oil. A solid appetizer. My friend enjoyed this as well! She topped her pizza with it. My friend got the TRIFOLATA. It's a mushroom based pizza and she said it was good. No complaints but did pick off the burnt bits, but that's expected with a wood fired oven. She liked it and was interested in trying other pizzas/pastas if she has the chance and is in the area again. I really struggled on how to rate this place. Cleanliness was on point from what I saw, place was cohesively decorated, tables might be on the smaller side if everyone orders a pizza, service was... somewhat adequate? They didn't really seem to know how to treat me and didn't really give any suggestions and it wasn't even because they were busy. Just did their job and maybe a few comments. We were asked once how the food was and it was directed at my friend. Having said that, we were greeted as soon as we walked in and when we left and I'd say our waitress was friendly. If you had no dietary restrictions (or at least not to alliums are on a low FODMAP diet), you'd probably have a better time. As for me? At least I know where to go for good burrata! Personally, I initially wanted to rate them 3 stars for the lack of substantial choices other than fancy cheese and bread, but seeing as I went anyway despite knowing that things weren't in my favor, it is on me. So I'm giving them 4 stars because what I had was good (but it might be the only thing I can have) and my friend enjoyed her pizza. They do note what items contain nuts on their menu and they have gluten free options which was what brought them to my attention in the first place. I have a kid with multiple food allergies. Unfortunately, their GF options contains eggs ... which is another one of my kid's allergies. If I go back again, it'll likely be with the same friend. Overall, a solid place for Italian food, but sadly not for my family.
