Grilled chicken caesar salad - excellent
Go Bruins 1.

Neighborhood institution. A family operation run by dad, mom and their son. Used to order from here often when we lived nearby. Nice to come back. It's definitely worth the hour drive to check out the old neighborhood, especially Petrillo's. One of our favorite deli in NJ, along with Fiori in Hoboken. Food is wonderful, but twice the portion compared to other places and with very reasonable prices. Check out their daily specials, especially their meat loaf, hot turkey, pepper steak, ribs, stuffed peppers, pasta, etc. They also make wonderful pizza with their sicilian being our favorite. Wonderful service. Highest recommendations. : 10 heros Note: This place gets very busy, especially during weekday lunch, so best to call and place your order.

What a great local deli! I got the Italian sandwich and it came packed with meat. There was a great balance between the meat and veggies as well. Would highly recommend if you're craving an authentic Italian sandwich.

My wife and I traveled here from Cape Cod in search of the best pizza from Rockland County NY through Bergen County NJ. We eventually landed here at Petrillos and met John and his parents working behind the counter. An old school hard-working family making traditional pizzas. We were blown away by what they had created, a super tasty combination of classic sauce and the perfect amount of cheese on a slightly crispy underbody with a soft but crisp crust. We ordered 13 pizzas that day, 10 plain,1 green pepper & onion, and 2 chicken cutlet and cherry pepper. We also tried an Itialian combo and Turkey sub, both were outstanding. Growing up in Old Tappan I cant beleive I never came here. We have a new can't miss Italian deli on our future trips back here. John and his family are now part of our food family. Pleasue to meet you all and looking forward to coming back. Thank you. Kevin & Melanie.

After trying the Chicken cutlet and cherry pepper I called the next morning and ordered 3 more...wow it was awesome. Upon picking up the pizzas Sunday morning we discovered John making breakfast on the flat-top grill so my wife ordered French toast and bacon, yum! We gave this establishment a 5-star review but on a scale of 1-10 we gave our highest review 9.8 only because there has to be room for something higher, we just haven't found it yet. Keep up the good work, this will always be a stop on our road trips from the Cape. You are officially part of our food world family, La Famiglia. Thank you, from Kevin & Melanie. Ps. I grew up in Old Tappan.

The food is amazing Chef Kevin's creations always a desire to keep coming back and ordering them…read moreagain. Pairings with sauces are delicious. The cocktails and bartenders know how to crystallize an icy layer to top off a dry martini. The service is on point. Ambiance is a cool open space with a second floor where certain trios, musicians come and have shows. In the summer they open the garage glass doors and the first floor space is completely open to the outside, there is still air-conditioning running inside, no worries. Please go and enjoy my friends at Roost. Thanks Maria and Michelle for making our visits very pleasurable.

Came here for our anniversary. Ordered two filet mignons. My wife's was excellent. Mine had a weird…read moretexture and strange after taste. Sent mine back and just asked for a new piece. My wife thought the same thing about weird taste. The waitress came back and said the chef/owner would not allow me to order the same thing since all the meat was the same. Absurd if you ask me. I have been here before and had good experiences, but never again. I would advise folks to spend their money elsewhere. And to be clear, I only had two bites of the steak. I ate the potatoes that came with my meal because I assumed they were getting me a new piece of steak. The meal was over at that point. My wife finished up her meal and drink. Guessing this chef has some ego. A bad piece of meat, chicken, etc. is just part of doing business - it happens. You want to charge steakhouse prices, you better deliver that kind of quality and service. Don't think for a second I will not share this story with everyone I know. I guess the "customer is always right" is not how this guy operates. Our waitress felt really bad. All the servers were kind. Too bad they work for this dude.

I am beyond impressed with Trata on the River's stunning decor and atmosphere, service, and quality…read morefood. Once you enter the spacious restaurant, you immediately feel like you're in Mykonos. No matter where you are seated, you have a great view of the water. There are several open bars for you to enjoy a drink before being seated for dinner. The restaurant offers valet. I arrived for a 5:30 reservation, and the service was top notch. Our food came out quickly and we were checked on throughout dinner with great attention and care. All of our appetizers were refreshing and delicious without feeling stuffed before dinner. The appetizers I ordered included the Saganaki bites with honey and watermelon, zucchini and eggplant chips with tzatziki, and fried calamari & fried shrimp. My family and I ordered fish for all of our entrees. Very fresh and the presentation was pleasing to the eye. The salmon was paired with a lentil salad. The Chilean sea bass was paired with wild rice, asparagus, and sausage. The Halibut was paired with broccolini. We ordered mocktails - the sunset in Santorini was a favorite! Lastly, we ended with dessert. We loved every dessert ordered. The key lime special was out of this world! Key lime typically isn't my go to dessert. This was so light and paired with pineapple. I would order it again without hesitation! I can't wait to come again for a nice meal and a Greek inspired getaway atmosphere.
