Restaurant Review

This upscale Montclair eating establishment is a fine dining experience.. one of the top Italian restaurants in New Jersey.

The dining room is charming and softly lit with cream and deep red decor in a romantic setting, although at times it can be a bit noisy. It's a low-key, elegant atmosphere that has recently been enlarged.

Chef Ryan DePersio along with his entire family, including his mother, Cynthia, who is the gifted pastry chef, work in harmony to produce a well prepared and organized fine dining experience. The dishes are contemporary Italian with a northern influence.

They prepare handmade fresh pasta in the daily specials and are served in big white crockery bowls covered in a variety of sauces.

The menu changes by season, however, the suggested entrees are: Australia Barramundi with spaetzle, zucchini and squash ragout; Florida Pompano with white truffle butter risotto, forest mushrooms, and garden herbs; Pomegranate Glazed Kurobuta Pork Chop with parsnip puree, brussel sprouts, and butternut squash; and the home made pasta dishes Squid Ink Tagliatelle with white shrimp, artichokes, and shellfish reduction; Fettuccini, Braised Northwest Morels with organic fava beans and parmigiano crema; and the Fascino Ravioli of the day.

This is a good place to enjoy a romantic dinner.

The service is professional, attentive and friendly.

They are BYOB and are open on Monday when many other restaurants are closed.

Reservations well in advance are suggested.
