Davia is a customer friendly neighborhood Italian restaurant. Nicely decorated with a full bar & parking lot in the rear. Very good food with either soup or salad and terrific âearly birdâ offerings. Extensive daily specials and attentive service add to the attraction here.

Lorenzoâs is a relatively small place with one dining room and a small bar. They have been in business since 1983 and certainly know what thy are doing. Weâve only been there once but enjoyed our meals very much. Entrees are served with a complimentary salad which was perfect, the bread was served hot and was crusty and crispy. The pastas were quite good and the sauce was very tasty. They also serve pizza & sandwiches.

Traditional Italian food made fresh and from scratch. It's like having Sunday pasta at Nonna's. In a strip mall, it's not romantic but family style dinner.

We came for dinner. It was our first time here. We were seated quickly and started with the homemade rice ball. It was very good and filled with cheese, beef and vegetables. We shared a pepperoni and garlic pizza as well. Also very good. It is an old school tavern so don't expect anything remotely fancy, however it was worth the trip.

Charming simple decor with relaxed atmosphere in small storefront location on Garret Mountain in Woodland Park, NJ. First time visit at recommendation of friends. Standard Italian menu with specials that had a Caribbean flare. The potatoes and hot peppers appetizer was very good but potatoes were like chips instead of sauteed. A different take but fine. The calamari special had a tasty ginger and sweet pepper topping. Very good. Hubby had the halibut special which was delicious but another Caribbean flavor of mango infused veggies over rice. Huge portion we should have shared. It was $32 and would have preferred a smaller portion for less cost but it will make a nice second meal. I had the capallini with shrimp and tomatoes with cannellini. It was fine. Would go back. Service excellent. Really a 4.5 rating. A little expensive for a byob place. Was $100 for 2 with no drinks.

My girlfriend and I went for dinner just last night, our last night in St Martin. It was hands down the best meal we had between our nights in Anguilla and St Martin. We would probably have gone more if we had realized how tasty it was earlier in the stay. We split the beef carpaccio to start. It was great and not overly truffle oiled. I got the truffle ricotta ravioli with asparagus cream sauce, which was outstanding. My girlfriend ordered the crap pasta which was very good, though we both thought the ravioli won. We then split the tiramisu for dessert. We also had two drinks total (me a martini and her a glass of wine). Total bill was less than 100 (99$, but still). Easily would have paid more too. Maybe its being to NYC prices but the food and value was beyond fair and worthwhile. They do a great job there and its a high recommend! Must go!

Our first time having dinner at Justinâs.You will need a reservation on weekends.The service is friendly and helpful.The menu is Italian.Pasta, chicken and fish dishes.The bowls of soup are huge.The appetizers are good especially the fresh bluepoint oysters.They serve a salad with all entrées.Along with the menu they introduced some specials. I ordered the tuna over a bed of diced tomatoes which was probably the thinnest cut of tuna that I have ever seen. It was more like a plate of diced tomatoes with a piece of tuna in the middle that wasnât even spiced and had no flavor to it.Had the waiter come over and asked how was everything I might have sent it back. But because the place was so busy that didnât happen. We were there having a good time and everybody else seem to be content. This place id a BYO and everybody that came in had a bottle with them. There was no waiting room and people were just standing by the front door waiting for a table. This place has a prefix meal during the week as an early bird special. Some of the dishes that I saw other people having looked much better than the one I was having. My dish had no eye appeal and almost looked like the last piece of fish that was left. Parking for this restaurant is located a block away using the churches parking lot. There is a sign explaining it. Parking on the side streets are frowned upon.

First time visit with a few friends.Everything was excellent - valet parking, excellent building, warm greeting, great bar, nice private room, very attentive waiter and the food was superb.We all had salad starters, and they are very large and definitely shareable. We had one of our he specials with peaches. We then all had different pasta dishes from the regular menu. Everybody loved their dishes. I had the black squid ink linguine with shrimp, crab meat etc. It was the best Iâve ever had. Itâs worth coming back for this alone.We also were comped limoncellos.Great night!!
