Well, the good news is the place looks nicer inside than out. My first MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT WAS - YET ANOTHER RESTAURANT WHOSE PRICES ARE $3-$4 DOLLARS HIGHER THAN THE WEBSITE'S MENU!!! For me, that is 3 out of the last 4 restaurants that did this!!!! (the last one, at least the waitress offered a stupid excuse "i keep telling my boss customers complain but he keeps forgetting to get new menus") THIS WAITER TOTALLY IGNORED my displeasure with this. The Veal Sorrentino was NOT worth $25.95...even a dollar more than my fav. restaurant!!!

This is a return visit. Enjoyed our dinner at Cafe L'Amore.We chose Melanzane (eggplant) alla Parmigiana, thin Fettuccine alle Vongole (fresh clams), and a fish of the day.Friendly, attentive service. Lots of families dining out on this early Saturday evening, easily accommodated by calling ahead. Good value overall.Cafe L'Amore is BYOB without corkage fee. Most diners brought wine.Ongoing Gripe: As someone who prefers not to use valet parking, parking is tight and too small for a restaurant this size. Limited parking is reserved for valet.

Stopped in while passing through town, and was pleasantly surprised. Not much to look at from the street but looks can be deceiving. Fast, friendly service in a very casual atmosphere. Their Greek salad was excellent, and a cheesesteak sub with peppers and mushrooms was equally good. Prices are very reasonable. Thank you for sharing your review online! We are glad you had a positive experience here, with fast, friendly service, and we appreciate your feedback on our greek salad & cheesesteak. Visit us again the next time you are passing through town! Thank you.

No complaints on the foodâat all! BUT, BEWARE! Apparently because at the very bottom of the menu, hidden, I might add is the disclaimer that âprices are subject to changeâââ which they did. When we received our check it was higher than it should have been. When we questioned the server and showed her the discrepancy, she very politely said sheâd check with her manager. Upon her return with a menu in hand, she showed us the disclaimer at the bottom and told us the manager had said itâs too expensive to keep reprinting the menu. Are you kidding? What if a customer only has a specific amount of cash on hand and no credit cards? Hereâs an idea; print the menu without prices, hand write them in and then just run off some on a copier. Then you can keep up with your price increases, keep the customer informed, and not look like youâre trying to rip people off! So next time (if there is one) I will probably drive the server crazy by asking every single price of something I might be ordering! Definitely not worth the hassle when there are so many other places.

We had a reservation on a weeknight and were promptly seated by a friendly hostess. Service by Francesca was professional, personable and attentive. The restaurant itself is pleasant and we did not experience any of the previously reported issues of smoke from the kitchen. We started with the clams casino from the menu and then got two specials--one, a sea bass and the other, a rack of pork with broccoli rabe and mushroom risotto. The clams were OK at best. While the stuffing itself was good, they were covered with a somewhat heavy, slightly congealed sauce that tasted like a meat-based gravy. That said, the two main courses were very good and quite substantive in terms of size. With the accompanying risottos, the dishes were a bit on the heavy side but consistent with a theme of hearty winter fare. The flavors were spot on. Will definitely go back and explore some of the other dishes.

Weâre on the road for 6 hours and decide to stop at this âfamily friendlyâ restaurant. There are 5 of us and very tired and hungry. Two tables of 4 are open. They say they canât seat us for 25 minutes! What kind of a restaurant turns down business??? We left and will not return even though we pass the exit many times per year.

The selection of individual pizzas is extensive. The prices medium, but the quality high. All are made to order from fresh dough - and the assortment of toppings extensive. There are also a few pastas, and some salads - but the reason to come here is the pizza. They do catering, and also operate a food truck that goes out to community events etc.

Last Saturday I had the lollypop land chops entree which was one of the specials, and the calamari appetizer. They were both really excellent! Very delicious! The lamb was perfectly cooked. The calamari's texture was close to perfect and tasted fabulous. I would definitely return to Monica's. I had their food once before with take out service when I was in the area a few months ago. If you like Italian food Monica's is exceptional. I took a friend there for his birthday and we had a very good time. Our waitress was very friendly, personable, and the service great. The atmosphere was not too formal, which gave us a nice comfortable atmosphere to relax and enjoy ourselves. Monica's offers excellent food in a very nice atmosphere, and it is my favorite restaurant in the Pompton Lakes area.

I attended a catered event for a family gathering. The private room was beautiful and intimate. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive to our wants and needs. The kitchen accommodated my dietary needs. The food was very good. The cannolis are to die for! We had a great time together as a family and the atmosphere and the food were perfect!
