My husband, daughter and I have birthdays all within 3 weeks. We took our immediate family here for dinner Saturday. They were very accommodating. We split 2 ginger calamari and one regular marinara. We had 1 Chicken Margherita, 3 Chicken Giambotta, 2 Chicken Francese,1 Chicken Piccata, 1 Calzone and a hot dog. Everything was delicious and the waitress Dora, was very helpful. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. We will make this our regular Italian Restaurant.

Visiting my sister in New Jersey, I researched quality Italian Cuisine restaurants and found La Primavera. The experience was excellent from beginning to end. Service by Alberto was superb. I had a very unique Wild Mushroom Soup. Amazing!I also had a Veggie whole wheat pasta. Sauce was excellent. Can't wait to return when I am in New Jersey

What makes a great restaurant great is more than just good cuisine. The combination of cuisine, service, atmosphere and value are the attributes to rate a restaurant. The food here however good, canât overcome the noise level in the dining room. The server had to scream out the daily specials and still needed to repeat herself. We were a party of 6 who could only chat with the person to immediate right or left. A member of our party was an architect and he said, thereâs way too much hardscape and nothing to flatten the noise level. Iâm sorry, but I wonât return. I enjoy conversation that can be heard without the use of a bullhorn.

Calandraâs is a huge building housing an upscale Italian restaurant, deli, pizzeria and bakery. The bread is historically known for itâs quality and crispness, the pizza is equally well known, the deli serves hot and cold sandwiches, paninis, wraps & salads and the restaurant which we did not visit is a full service, white table cloth restaurant with a full bar.

We celebrated my sisters getting her masters in nursing and had dinner here for about 12 people. Besides the challenges of finding parking, itâs very accessible. The server was very sweet and attentive and the overall atmosphere is casual and comfortable. We had our 4 year old and it was way past her bedtime, so we quickly ordered a margarita pizza. It was perfect for her and for us. We also shared the aracini. The pasta fishers were very generous in size and flavorful. Itâs BYOB which makes it more economical for large parties. Overall good good and great service for a crowd.

I have been here on a few first dates this place is perfect for meeting someone new! Itâs classy soft jazz playing in the background so sexy. The food is also AMAZING! The appetizers and entrees are scrumptious. Iâm a dessert person so I tried the pear tart with ice cream... OMG DELECTABLE TO SAY THE LEAST. Oh and I cannot forget to mention the service is very professional and knowledgeable. Once again hats off to the chef! Still looking for my last first date.

4. Corso 98

Visited 01/05/2019We've been coming here for many years. The only reason we don't come here more often is because there are some many restaurants in Montclair and the surrounding area and so little time, but Corso 98 is definitely one of our favorites. We definitely need to come here more frequently. For our appetizer we started with the mussels with sausage, which is a tasty and filling dish, easily enough for 2. I had the grilled center cut prime pork chop âcarellaâ, with roasted 'taters' on a bed of broccoli rabe and roasted vinegar hot peppers. (but not too hot.) My wife has the Chilean Sea bass, which she loved. Obviously this didn't come 'alone'... I just can't remember what accompanied this tasty fish, but Corso does a terrific job with their sea bass. We're trying to cut back on desserts, so none of that on this trip. We (of course) did bring some wine to enhance these fine meals. Can't beat a BYO!

Give me a relaxed welcoming environment serving great food over a uptight fancy pants restaurant serving overpriced food every time. Star Pizzeria did not disappoint. Here I will say that it's everything that makes it great. The chill bar with lots of tables, tv's, locals, cheap beer, and good food. We ordered a plain and pepporni pizza. The pizza was crispy, cheesy, and tasty. It was good in a thin crust bar style pizza is good. Would I go back just for the pizza? Probably not but if someone wants good food, cheap drinks, and a casual atmosphere. Star Tavern is a great spot.

Reviewed By LSS100NewYork
Fascino is a wonderful place - lovely rooms, excellent service, a terrific menu and absolutely everything was well executed. It's not especially fancy, but warm, friendly, efficient and our group of four had a memorable evening sharing the oysters, roasted Spanish octopus, pappardelle with braised lamb sugo (my personal favorite), halibut, and strip steak, and a side of parmigiana spaetzle (because, you know, who wouldn't), and there was not a misstep or off note throughout. I can't say I'd drive the two hours we would need to get there, but if I have any reason again to be near Montclair, I'd go back in a heart beat.
