Highlights: Fried Calamari and meatball appetizers were great! 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.
Last night was my first time at Suprema and I was so impressed! The smell of Italian cooking when you walk in is so intoxicating! It was a busy night and the staff was so welcoming and nice. The lasagna was made with fresh pasta and my friend had the chicken Milanese salad- both delicious. Will definitely be back!
We started with the calamari which was freshly prepared, hot and served with peppers and squash, very tasty. Unfortunately the chicken Parmesan was served barely warm. We didn't order the sandwiches until we finished the calamari so not sure why they were not hot. Definitely precooked and heated. Our server never checked in on our meal. Disappointing.
Nice decor, nice wait staff, very good food. It's a tad pricey but isn't everything these days? There's multiple Italian restaurants on Park Avenue now, none are bad so take your pick!
I celebrated my birthday dinner at Suprema, and it was a lovely experience. We started with Caesar salads and fried calamari to share, then I had the tagliatelle beef rib ragu. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The pasta especially stood out as fresh and well-made. The service was nice and attentive. It wasn't busy when we arrived but did get livelier later since it was a Thursday before the Fourth of July weekend. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Not too fancy, just a really nice spot. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Suprema is BYOB, which is a great plus. Parking can be a bit tricky since it's in a busy downtown area with lots of other restaurants nearby. Prices are a bit higher than your average Italian restaurant, but not over the top, which felt fair for the quality. For dessert, I split a piece of chocolate layer cake and I enjoyed pistachio gelato, both of which were delicious. I would definitely recommend Suprema for a date night or special occasion when you want good food in a relaxed, cozy setting.
Our favorite go to local place! The food never disappoints. The rice balls are made to order! Crunchy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside! My husband had the chicken Parmesan with vodka sauce. The bread was fresh and crunchy and the chicken was plentiful. He couldn't finish the whole thing! My daughter had the pasta with ragu and even though oh the pricey side and not too warm she liked it and had some leftovers for later. ($34).
Really nicely decorated restaurant with ample seating and solid customer service! The food was fresh and hot and you could tell it was quality ingredients. It is a little pricey for the amount of food but it's delicious and worth the money. I ordered the roast beef sandwich and the beef jus was just divine. The charred garlic bread was a great vehicle for the thinly shaved ribeye and gooey mozzarella. I would come here again for sure. It looked like on the other side of the restaurant they had a baby shower, so this could be an amazing place to book a party!
Nice Italian restaurant. BYOB. Beautiful decor and attentive service. Food is great but pricey for lunch.
6 years?! My goodness I didn't realize I haven't been here in that long! Time for an update! I still frequent Michael's Salumeria, the deli that started this whole venture into restaurants for the family of theirs, but I'm happy to see Anthony expanded this place and removed the deli counter. It's feels more refined now and more of the restaurant I assume he dreamed it to be! Service and food is still as excellent as always! He expanded into area next door, removed the deli counter and went full blown restaurant. Love it Ant! Had the newer version of fried calamari and the fried lemon slices and zucchini strips to the calamari added a whole new level. Came with marinara, tartar sauce and fresh lemon wedges with fried long hots on top! Had this incredible artichoke salad with chopped pistachios balsamic and honey. Wow! Enjoyed chicken with mushrooms and the smoothest mashed with a drizzle of EVOO on top, spaghetti and shrimp Arrabiata, spaghetti pomodoro with shrimp & burrata added and tagliatelle with ragu. My father only wished his Arrabiata had jumbo shrimp as mine did and not the small shrimp. I have to agree with him because once you have had their jumbo shrimp you always want it! Pasta was Al dente, sauce tastes like u are dining right in a tomato field in Italy and the shrimp were freshly caught that morning! Not a fan of mashed, but I couldn't help stealing a few bites off my mother's plate! Impressive to get me to eat! Tagliatelle was so light and not your normal heavy texture. The pomodoro was more sauce based this time versus cherry tomato based as in past. You can see the difference in the pictures . The burrata was creamy and I highly recommend you add it to any pasta dish! For dessert we had a massive slice of chocolate layered cake and a decaf Capp. Nailed it again Ant! Always a good bite on Park Ave! Definitely will frequent more often!
We came to suprema for Valentine's Day dinner and really enjoyed it! The ambience was relaxing, candle lit dinner vibes. The food was delicious, fresh, and a great serving to enjoy some more at home the next day. We tried the rice balls and the fried mozzarella both were delicious and crispy on the outside. For the entree I had the chicken Parmesan but with vodka sauce as they asked which sauce I prefer and I decided to try something different and I really enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked well the spaghetti was al dente, I usually don't care for spaghetti but suprema cooked it well! We ended the night with tiramisu, that I felt was lacking something, possibly too much cream for my preference? I couldn't quite pinpoint it but it was ok. For nonalcoholic drinks they had a couple canned teas that contain added sugars, a couple Italian soda flavors, bottled still water, and sparkling water. Service was great and attentive. Suprema is BYOB so be sure to grab your preferred drink before you head here for dinner. Parking is street only (you need to pay if it's not Sunday or after 7pm I believe) as well. There's a pay for parking lot a few blocks away if you prefer that quick accessibility instead of looking for street parking.

Hi Evelyn, Thank you for coming in and for such a thoughtful review!…
Been wanting to try this place for awhile since I saw it on NJ sandwich joints page, but it is more than just sandwiches. I decided to come during lunch to try the sandwiches and some of the pasta dishes, though both lunch and dinner menus look amazing. The arancini were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and creamy in the middle with just enough marinara. The chicken vodka parm was one of the best my husband has ever had and our friend liked the calabria. I tried a bite of the chicken vodka parm and yeah, it was bomb with the vodka sauce and had lots of chicken. I had the carbonara which was perfectly creamy and al dente and a perfect portion. I am a sucker for affogato and this is a really good one. Perfectly sweet with tasty espresso. The cappuccino came with a rock candy swizzle stick which was a nice touch. The employees were nice and the little restaurant is very clean and bright. Definitely will be back to try more things. read more
I've lived in Rutherford for 7 years and this was my first time trying Suprema. My mom & sis were in town & I'm a sucker for dining al fresco. The staff is extremely nice & helpful here. We decided to start with 2 salads, the artichoke and Caesar. Delicious! The salads were both nicely dressed and fresh. The only thing I would is next time I would ask if they had some gorgonzola cheese for the artichoke salad, I think it would go well with the lemon vinegarette. For entrees, I had the rigatoni vodka and added chicken cutlet. Yum! Creamy sauce, perfectly breaded & fried chicken (not oily). My mom had the ragu, she was a little disappointed as other yelp pictures showed it with a tube like pasta, whereas hers came with a ribbon pasta. But she still said it was good. My sister got the carbonara, honestly she wasn't a big fan but not because it was bad but because it was more basic then she expected. I'm not an expert on the sauce so not sure what it's supposed to taste like, but felt like it didn't something... maybe Parmesan? Overall, it was delicious. Will be back again for sure. read more
I almost never thought I'd see the day I'd knock a star off of my Suprema review. Don't get me wrong, I still love the food, the rice balls are still my favorite, the pasta is still to die for. It went south for me when I stopped by yesterday for two sandwiches and they told me the total was 34 dollars. I mean 16 dollars for a sandwich is a little outrageous in my book. They're not abnormally large. I know they use the finest ingredients, I know the mozzarella is made in house and I know the bread is fresh everyday. It still doesn't merit that price tag for me. I'll definitely still stop by for their specials every now and again but with prices like these, it's definitely more a "treat" here and there as opposed to a once a week lunch or dinner. The restaurant is still beautiful, gorgeous outdoor setup and the staff is always friendly. Just a little out of my budget. read more
When I tell you.. my FAVORITE restaurant around. And a plus that it is byob. Keep in mind if you choose to visit, some food items are only available at either lunch time or dinner time. They have a separate menu for lunch and dinner. I love both! The staff is very kind as well. If you are looking to find a good sandwich, i recommend their chicken vodka parm! AMAZING. Best sandwich i ever had. Also, their penne is another favorite item. I like getting a chicken cutlet with it, goes perfect. Another item you should order if you visit are the muscles! The garlic bread with the dish, is okay. But the dish itself was amazing! read more

Another amazing meal at Suprema! We were there with 6 people total. For apps we ordered the meatballs, mussels, rice balls and Artichoke salad. All were delicious! We had 6 different dishes for the main course. 3 empty plates and 3 to go boxes! Oh, and some cappuccino, tiramasu and flan for desert. 10 outta 10 again! I love bringing new friends to experience the amazing experience that is Suprema. Mary, our server, was the nicest and so helpful. Already can't wait to come back! read more

Out of all the restaurants on the strip, I decided to dine at Suprema. This was my first dining there and I will definitely be returning. The customer service was supreme! The Thursday night servers were kind, hospitable and gave great suggestions with smile. Unfortunately I was unable to grab my two servers names, but they were two blondes who made my experience memorable. The Vodka Penne was tasty too. read more
Very solid sandwich (maybe a little on the pricey side) but everything was fresh. They use a harder style of bread than I like, but that's just a preference of mine. I really liked the spicy Calabrian spread, just enough heat where your lips tingle, but it adds more depth of flavor than killing you with spice. read more

Suprema has the best mozzarella sticks I have ever had. They are homemade. They are absolutely delicious, and you can tell they use quality ingredients! No reheated frozen mozzarella sticks here. We have been back to Suprema multiple times just for the mozzarella sticks. We also tried the chicken parmigiana sandwich with vodka sauce...it is unreal! The service is good! The vibe can go both ways, casual or dress up which is a bonus. You can show up in sweats during the day but dress up for a date in the evening! Give them a try, you won't regret it. read more
Love this place. I do have one downfall to mention (maybe I'm the only one who's upset about this, but I have to make it known) - let's serve lunch all day people! I absolutely adored all the lunch specials and lunch sandwiches. Teacher me cries knowing that when I get home form work, I'm unable to grab something off that menu. The dinner menus are good too, but sometimes you just crave a sandwich. Stopped in the other day to try the burger bombs all to find that they are not served later in the day. Settled for rigatoni and a chicken cutlet. Now let's not discredit it - it was phenomenal and hit the spot. But still very sad about not having burger bombs as a choice. Hopefully in the future that could change (fingers crossed). Overall this place is great. Fresh food, awesome location, great dinning interior and amazing/kind staff members. I also love the staff shirts. Nice touch to the supreme theme haha I always recommend this spot to friends. You won't leave disappointed or hungry wanting more. read more

Hi Siobhan, Thank you for your thoughtful review and for joining us…
Excellent experience! Clean restaurant, masked servers, spectacular food! Started out by splitting the Pasta Ribbons with Beef and Pork Ragu entree. The 2 meats were incredibly tender and moist, cooked to perfection. A half portion was still a healthy portion. Next was a Veal Chop Parmigian, pounded thin but still on the bone. Another winner. Huge serving with enough leftover for another meal. I opted for the same chop but grilled instead. Perfectly seasoned and cooked, paired with a carrot puree and garlic spinach. BYOB, liquor store across the street. This is definitely going into my favorites rotation read more
I was invited to lunch at a friend's office. He said they were bringing sandwiches in for a project meeting and wanted my help. The goodies arrived in neat brown shopping bags and as the tops were opened, the aroma filled the meeting room. Yum! The bags had roast beef with cheese and chicken Parm with vodka sauce. The roast beef was a top 5 sandwich of all time. Worth a drive from anywhere. Seriously. The chicken Parm, quite good but I loved the roast beef more. The portion size was generous, as a guest I don't know the cost by regardless, I'll pay it when I go there. Put this shop on your list. Yummy to the Maxxx read more

If you drive too fast down Park Avenue, you can easily miss this spot. They're many restaurant on this strip and this is a GREAT ADDITION to this list. Let us start with the service which is awesome. One thing for sure is that post covid the hospitality industry has taken a big hit and every other restaurant that you go is short-staffed. Suprema SERVICE is top notch and the FOOD IS DELICIOUS. Not really sure what the fusion is but it's definitely italian based. So much flavor and one can tell when you get served fresh food. This is a must visit when in the area. Keep up the great work! read more

I ordered to go from here. This location of this place is on a cute street. I parked in the neighborhood to avoid fees. I ordered the parma sandwich and the rice balls. Sorry I do not have a pic of a rice balls, but they were really good. Not salty, creamy, and had a true and rich pomodoro sauce. The parma sandwich was SO GOOD. Like... do you see that picture?! Prosciutto makes my world round so I was so happy to see there was a sandwich like this. The slab of mozz was refreshing and the sundried tomatoes were just *chefs kiss. I will say, it was a pretty big price point after I saw my tab and I don't think I'll go as often as I like due to budgeting purposes. Notes: None read more

I ordered the special turkey thanksgiving sandwich. It was great except for the cranberry sauce that was loaded with orange flavor. Disappointed as this sandwich would have been fantastic without the addition of the orange flavor. Sweet potato crinkle fries were good. A bet pricey at $20 though! The restaurant is super cute! I was with another person and requested separate checks. So they originally were going to split bill instead of separating. The lady figured it out in the end. I would try again, but will hope that they would be upfront with their description of the meals as I was a bit shocked with the very strong orange flavor on the sandwich I ordered. read more

Came for a work lunch, only metered parking nearby but the place has a hip, trendy vibe and a friendly, helpful staff. It's a small joint, but we were glad to get a table. The team loves this place, so they went straight away for a meatball appetizer and both got pasta dishes. Me being new to Suprema and wanting something a little lighter, I went with a caprese sandwich, which had a nice crunch bread, thick mozzarella, and flavorful chicken with the right amount of pesto and tomatoes. It was tasty and really filling for a lunch time sandwich. I can see why this place is popular with the locals. The food is great and arrived quickly for our lunch break. I look forward to trying an entree there soon. read more

Right in the middle of the downtown area of Rutherford so it's street parking only. I tried the roast beef sandwich which came with gravy, and the chicken parm sandwich which came with a side of marinara sauce. Both were absolutely delicious!!! They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The entire place is decorated so cute which made dining here really enjoyable. Can't wait to come back! read more

Truly enjoyed my lunch at Suprema today! I started off with Earl Grey tea (it's brick out), and then had the stuffed zucchini. Omg 'twas out of this world. Loved the zucchini! I had the quinoa goat cheese salad (comes with chicken) which was also very good! I love the ambiance as well; very quaint, yet open and welcoming. Great pit stop on my way to my nail salon. I'll be back when I'm in the area! read more
The food was pretty good! I got the spaghetti for the entree and tiramisu for the dessert! They started with a bread basket that was so warm. Shortly after, the food came out quick. I went with a friend and ended up staying for two hours, but they never rushed us! The place was on the fancier side, and was nicely decorated. read more

Food was delicious! Best arancini I've ever had! We ordered two orders...one with marinara and one with vodka sauce. Love both but their vodka sauce is amazing! Friend had chicken parm with vodka sauce. It's a favorite for sure and the chicken is so well done. Artichoke salad was lemony and delicious with tons of pistachios. My chicken entree with artichokes was super delicious. Nothing was too salty or too garlicky, just right on seasoning. Our server was super sweet and attentive (maybe Michelle?, don't recall). Highly recommend Suprema! read more
