We decided to try this restaurant and were pleasantly surprised. We share the eggplant rolantini and black ink pasta with crab meat and shrimp. Both were delicious. The service was very good and the restaurant was cute. We got lucky with the parking on the street. Its a byob restautant.

Today my wife and I had a Margherita lunch, not the drink, but a pizza. We decided to check out the Pizza Vita restaurant while in town and enjoyed our pizza lunch.

Gregorio's is surprising a very good restaurant, based on food, service, value, and kindness. Food is good because I love the ravioli and linguine there and it fills up my stomach all the way. Service is great because the dishes come out quick, between range 10-15 minutes (appetizers) while entreés are 15-30 minutes. Payment on each plate is not bad around, $30 or $40. People are very nice there and no fights I've ever seen there. I recommend people to definitely go there. : )

We’ve been to La Focaccia several times, and we’ll go back, but not too soon. Parking is on the street, and unless you’re lucky, there’s a long walk. Our reservation was honored, but even though we were there on time, we still had to wait more than 30 minutes to be seated. The tables are small and close together, and the noise was excessive. The service was slow. The food was terrific and that’s why we’ll go back.... but not too soon.

Bellariva Pizzeria and Restaurant

Reviewed By GarageRock

I decided to try takeout from Bellariva, since they always have coupons in the mailers, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good their pizza was! I've always gotten pizza from Joe's in Summit (the best!), or Chimney Rock in Berkeley Heights (for thin crust), but Bellariva is less expensive and nearly equal to Joe's...plus they're closer and also deliver to Chatham. My girl won't settle for anything but Joe's, but for myself, I'll be ordering from Bellariva from now on :)

Bacci Pizza and Italian Restaurant

Reviewed By b d

Our waiter was very attentive. We ordered a weird combo of the avocado caprese salad (listed as $7.99 on the menu but got charged $8.99) which was arugula, fresh mozzarella, and avocado (odd mix), personal pizza ($6.99), mozzarella sticks, and pasta faglioli. The soup was more like canned beans and chicken broth than your traditional Italian soup which was a bit disappointing. Pizza was okay - thin crisp crust. The salad had a syrupy balsamic drizzle on the oddly cut pieces of avocado.

Coppola's Ristorante

Reviewed By Gershwin12

We celebrated our Parent's 60th wedding anniversary at this traditional Italian Restaurant. Working with the affable Elaina, planning a menu was seamless. Service was attentive and professional. The Hot appetizers were a definite hit; calamari was so moist, sweet and tender, eggplant rollatini was a delight filled with creamy ricotta cheese and lightly covered in their delicious fresh tasting marinara sauce, large shrimp were briny and sweet, someone commented, it tastes like lobster. Their thinly sliced, lightly breaded, fried eggplant parm. was surprisingly light covered in their marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Oh so good! Prices were reasonable. The restaurant also has a casual pizzeria attached. Things to know: Bring your own wine, ample parking, enjoy your meal.

The food is excellent. The chef is flexible--there are not a lot of vegetarian choices listed but changes can be made. Sitting outside on the back porch overlooking the golf course is a treat in pleasant weather. Wait staff is pleasant and efficient.
