All different, all very good. My wife went for the chicken special (kind of like a cassolette), my SIL ordered the salmon, which she always does and I ordered the Cavatelli Ragù Di Salsiccia, which was very good... served maybe a bit too al dente... but very good none the less. We all shared a nice bottle of Nebbiolo. (So NOT a BYOB)

I was in Jersey for a work trip last week with a colleague. We were both in the mood for Italian so…read morewe decided to try Panebianco. I loved the interior of the restaurant. Very warm, welcoming and chic. The service was great, our waitress was very helpful with recommendations. For my drink I got the Sage Whisper. It was delicious. I would definitely recommend if you enjoy gin. We ordered the Feta cheese turnover. It was good but could definitely be better. The block of feta was so massive that it overpowered the dish. If they use like half the amount of feta and added more honey it would've been perfect. I was also expecting apricot to be incorporated into it, but it was just on the side. If they had a layer of apricot jam inside that would literally take it to the next level. For dinner I ordered the Bistecca. My steak was could perfectly but the flavor was a little lacking. Luckily I love steak so i still enjoyed it but I think if it was sliced and topped with the chimichurri and some flaky salt it would've been a lot more flavorful. The steak was also a very generous portion. I did have my eye on the Orecchiette Rabe e Sausage. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely come back to try it.

Outstanding! They have a seasonal menu and I absolutely lovely what I ordered!…read more 21 vegetable soup was delicious and cozy; loved the kale chips on top. Polenta fries were perfection! Crunchy outside, warm soft inside, and the dips were perfect compliments, creamy and salty. Pork chop was divine! One of the best I've ever had. So juicy and flavorful with orange zest that was a surprising flavor combo that worked! The polenta and cooked pepper side were wonderful. I cleaned the plate! The dessert was so good! Fudge layer, creamy top, and I loved the liquor that flavored the cake and the litter crunchy cookies on top. Yum! Service was excellent and the restaurant was beautiful, though very noisy since it was packed.

Very nice decoration on the outside and clean and modern on the inside with a partially open kitchen. We had a little wait so I took the opportunity to learn about the head chef/owner Antonio and his family via the article on the wall. They do have a rotating seasonal menu - this is the Spring brunch menu. BYOB! 1. Bread sampler - Good sized sampler with croissant, a blueberry/plum cake and a few others. 2. Fluffy pancakes (Tres Leches style) - Soaked pancakes which made it like a dessert. Came with a icing topping with fruits. Had about half and took the rest home as dessert! 3. Pasta carbonara - Smelled of parm cheese which made me salivate. Al dente pasta which is perfect and a normal sized dish that was not too small or large. 4. Lemongrass ice cream - Very delicious and flavorful! 5. Vanilla affogato - Vanilla itself was not sweet or too vanilla but the espresso added a good touch to it. Overall a great brunch / lunch and loved seeing that it was family owned and friendly. Would visit again!

Suprema

4.5 stars My friend…read moreand I were going to a concert in Rutherford and wanted to grab dinner beforehand. 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.

Highlights: Fried Calamari and meatball appetizers were great!…read more Mid-lights: The vodka chicken parm with rigatoni was good, but the chicken was a little too soft/soggy. Also the portions were a little small. Lowlights: The restaurant was a little understaffed, wait times for water, to take our order, to get our food was extremely long. 4 dishes ordered and dinner was 2.5 hours... Overall the food was good but pricey for what it was.

Came in with a party of five on a Sunday at around noon, and it was empty at the time. To start,…read morethey bring out some ciabatta (?) bread, which was crusty on the outside but soft on the inside. For food, we decided to order a bunch of things to share: -Zucchini fritte (with lemon aioli dipping sauce) - this was thin and perfectly crispy but somehow not oily. It was addicting -Arancini - these were okay. Could have used more meat -Margherita pizza - can't go wrong with a margherita. I do wish the actual crust was thinner -Meatball & Co pizza (meatballs, sweet sausage, cherry peppers, tomato sauce, mozzarella & ricotta cheese) - same with the crust situation. The description also said cherry peppers but they also added jalapenos, which is not a big deal - just a call out. The sausage was alright -Seafood fra Diavolo (sauteed clams, calarami, mussels, spicy tomato sauce) - sauce could have used a bit more spice. They don't skimp on the seafood though. I was pleasantly surprised by the calamari, which can taste rubberband-y but that wasn't the case here -Tiramisu - tasted fridgey/supermarket-bought -Affogato - a nice way to end the meal. Made me wonder why I don't make more affogatos at home Overall, it the meal was fine. Is it something I'd crave for? I don't think so. Well, maybe except that zucchini fritte. I wouldn't mind ordering that again. Tip - BYOB (there's a liquor store across the street)

Passed this restaurant 100s of times and finally decided to give it a try. So glad I did because…read morethe food was very good. The restaurant is casual, has music playing and an open dining room. There were a lot of families with young kids on a Saturday night. The wait staff was attentive and pleasant. We started with "ma's meatballs, which were good. I especially liked the sauce. I got the seafood Fra Diavolo over spaghetti which was very good. All the seafood was fresh and I only left the shells. My date got the chicken Romano, which was served with a spicy rigatoni vodka and burrata. Her dish was so good and a very generous portion. I also loved that it was a BYO - seems like there are less and less of these type of restaurants these days. I will definitely go back to try some of the other appetizers and entrees.

"It's the best Italian food in Jersey!"…read more I was sitting in a Chinese restaurant next to a nice looking Italian family when I overhead them talking about Volares. I figured they ought to know, so tonight I'm at Volares trying the food. It turns out, they were right. The food here is incredible. I live in Manhattan, so I don't know if this is the best in Jersey... but it's got to be near the top. I loved everything I had, and the whole restaurant from the person who greeted and seated me to the waiter--everything was an experience that I appreciated and enjoyed. Volares is definitely the best Italian place I've been in Jersey. You've got to try the veal. Incredible! Bravo.

Owner Andy introduced me to a fine three-course meal. Eggplant Rollatini: This appetizer was stuffed with ricotta cheese and smothered in a San Marzano tomato sauce. Each bite was pure bliss and it sent my taste buds to heaven. Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina: These bite-size homemade Italian dumplings are also mixed in San Marzano tomato sauce and topped with fresh mozzarella. It was soft and smooth on the outside with a pillowy potato on the inside. Cheesecake: To close out the meal, I explored the heavenly cheesecake. It was sprinkled with powdered sugar with a side of freshly made whipped cream. The raspberry drizzle added a nice touch. This dessert has one of the smoothest and creamiest textures. It's no question the pie and whipped topping go together hand in hand. While you dine, admire the arrangement of beautiful wall art along with a set of Satsuma vases. If you do not wish to dine inside, outdoor seating is also an option during the warmer months. Be sure to bring your favorite bottle of wine or beer because this restaurant is BYOB. As a bonus, Volare's has an enclosed indoor hallway which effectively keeps the cold air out during the chillier months. This was a flawless culinary experience.
