Perri is terrific -- welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. And the food is wonderful. Traditional Italian, absolutely delicious. It is a BYOB, so the prices are reasonable. I love fish, and Enzzo's is the best for that. I keep meaning to try the chicken dishes, but I'm usually too tempted by the Sea Bass or Salmon. You know the saying 'I've never had a bad meal here?' I've never had a good meal at Enzzo's; they've all been great.

Very nice staff and overall food quality was excellent. We ordered quite a bit of appetizers and…read moreeverything we had was well executed and service was prompt. The standout for us was the snap peas side ( so refreshing and tastes so good) and the garlic shrimp was amazing and flavorful. The ambiance is nice but it gets so packed so if you get overstimulated easily, just prepare for this.

Still some of the best Italian cuisine in SOMa. Arrived at 8.30 on a Friday night, was told a 30…read moreminute wait. Spot on. They texted when our table was ready and we were promptly seated. It's BYOB but we didn't. We split the seasonal bread with salted butter and ricotta cheese appetizer, my GF got the chicken parmigiana, and I got the chicken Milanese. Both were fantastic. And massive. I can't believe I ate the entire chicken parmigiana the last time I was here. My GF was only able to finish 1/3 of it. And I was only able to finish 1/2 of the chicken Milanese. The portion sizes alone make the meals worth it. Highly recommend Osteria LK. Just don't expect a quiet atmosphere during busy times because it's LOUD.

I always love trying something off their seasonal pizza menu; during my most recent visit, I loved their maple bacon pizza, which had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. They don't accept reservations, so expect it to be pretty busy, especially during the weekends. Note that they also only have a limited cold food menu during the off hour between lunch and dinner.

Love going in the warmer weather when they open up the doors and have the bar serving on the patio. And let's face it, if you know anything about Arite's you know that there will always be a wait on the weekends. Having the bar and the patio makes waiting a breeze! The food is seriously better than ever. I actually think the pizza is even better at this new spot than the previous location. The sleeper favorite for me is the maple bacon pizza. Takes the white pie to another level and has become a go to for me. Always, I repeat always, order the meatballs and save the sauce for your pizza crust. The farmers salad is always a must for me as well. No one does a salad like Artie's. Give this place a shot because trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Pasta Flavio: where it's not all about the Flavor, for better or worse…read more To be fair, this order was takeout, so the judgment is mainly on the food, and nothing for the ambiance. Service was on time, order was done correctly... we _think_. To be clear: * Don't rely on the menu descriptions. The alfredo sauce, for example, is not the creamy texture you're used to. It's cheesy bits in oil. Not bad, but not what I was expecting. And "truffles" were invisible - just the oil, not shreds of mushroom. * Compared to my favorite local establishment, The Pasta Shop in Denville, the pasta is a noticeable step lower in texture. There are fewer varieties of pasta here than the Shop, but on the other hand, much more customizable plates. The Pasta Shop is set up where you can order from their standard menu or their daily specials, withhold an item if you're allergic. Here at Flavio, you can choose your meat(s), sauce(s), toppings (up to 7, and then I imagine you can choose more at a cost). And you get a lot of meat - my chicken was hidden in the photo, but stirring turned it all up. And it wasn't too salty, and nicely grilled. But the other toppings, you get less. My arrabiata pepper was shredded in very sparse amounts. Struggled to find other veggies. Only a few garlic cloves, tho nicely roasted. Verdict? Will sacrifice quantity (of what can be ordered) for quality and stick with The Pasta Shop.

It is tucked into a non-descript location on Rt-10, and although I know where it is, I have zipped by several times. The food is consistently great, and no matter how judiciously my wife and I order, we have never had enough room for dessert. It is BYOB, so bring your own libations. My only complaint is that it can get quite loud in the restaurant. They would do well to have some acoustic baffles or curtains to soften the noise.

Not a plus when our friendly server had a hard time taking our orders. We ordered a salad and bread to start. How fun that my nephew was able to order a heart shaped pizza!!! We all opted for the pasta dishes. The pizza arrived first, then lasagna, pasta dish, then salad, fettuccine swirled in Parmesan wheel... and finally the bread. First of all... we expected the appy type stuff first... as was requested. Secondly, each dish was a few minutes after the next which made it awkward on whether to start eating or wait for everyone to have their meal. Lastly, the stylish, oversized bowls and dishes really didn't fit on our table. Food was spectacular... but would really appreciate the first courses arriving first... At this price point, I expected more. Overall, loved the pastas, but not sure I'd come back for a social type of meal, especially due to the excessive noise level.

It's a $72, for course dinner. A single piece of shrimp in a mustard dressing to start, paradelle with veal as an appetizer, snapper for main, and ricotta cake for dessert. Our waiter was nice and knowledgeable. They were a bit confused when it came to service. They served the wrong dishes for some courses or served another tables dishes instead of ours. The waiter could have checked in a bit more in between dishes. The shrimp was interesting, it had a tangy creamy taste. My favorite dish was the veal paradelle, the veal was soft and buttery. The snapper was disappointing and lacked any flavor. The dessert was ok, but nothing memorable
