This new restaurant is really running very well. Loved the menu. Tough to choose from so many favorites.Warm, homemade bread loaf and butter brought to table. We ordered a pizza cut in mini slices as a table share app. Pizza reminded us of our favorite one at Aumm Aumm in North Bergen. Nice Caesar salad.A Burger that should be on a high-end Diners, Dives & Drive-In Show. Filet Mignon & Strip Steak which rival the River Palm. Steamed spinach side. A very talented culinary team.Homemade tiramisu and creme brûlée. Yum.And service which was polished and friendly as well as knowledgeable, on-the-ball and quick. Thank you, Christa! The owners/managers are hands-on and working and watching everything, which is why this restaurant runs so smoothly.And byob. We’ll definitely be back. Next time we’ll make a reservation. Happy to have been squeezed-in tonight. It’s a home run!

Alessandro Trattoria E Pizzeria

Reviewed By conradb2

Visited 07/04/18 with friends.A bunch of us came here on the suggestion that this place has the best pizza outside of Brooklyn. Well, I've never had pizza in Brooklyn, but this pizza was indeed, quite excellent. Actually everything that we had (appetizers, salad, etc.) was very very good.The fried calamari, the eggplant rollentini and the grilled shrimp and calamari were all terrific... as was the house salad with an excellent blue cheese dressing. But the pizza... just terrific. The Grandma pie was nice and thin, with fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella. As good a pie as I've every had. Next time I might ask for the crust to be a bit... crustier, but that's really not a complaint. I really did love the pie. I'm not a big 'crust' guy, but this crust was not to hard and not too soft... kinda like a buttery croissant if you ask me. Truly the best tasting crust I've ever had. We (8 of us) also shared a "Nonno" pie or as our waiter called it, a Grandpa pie. This pie was Sicilian style... still thin crust but not as thin as Grandma's pie... and we added sausage to it. Grandpa too was very good, but we all agreed that 'Grandma' won the challenge. (even though there wasn't one) We definitely will be back. It's also a BYOB, which on any level is always a good thing. If I have one criticism about this place... I might suggest that the owner hang some pictures (of Italy maybe?) or maybe have a mural painted on the walls. Brighten the place up a bit. But the food!? No complaint there!

Party of 3 on a weekday night. Place was full but we were seated promptly. First thing you notice is the noise. Everyone talking loudly but don’t let this stop you from eating here. The food is very good. The portions are large. The service is good. The prices are very reasonable.

Not a bad place, though I felt the place was a bit "understaffed" so it took awhile for my pizza to be ready. But it wasn't so bad, but I found the place a bit dirty. Though at the end, the pizza was quite enjoyable, for an 18 inch pie. It was big and hard to carry one slice, so I had to use a fork and knife. Until I decided to just "roll" it up.

Dino's

Formerly named Roman Cafe

Reviewed By Lee R

Kudos to Dino for doing what all restaurants should do: the "specials" are in writing with prices and the prices are in line with the regular menu items. Restaurants that price the "specials as much as 25% higher than regular menu items tick me off. That being said: the food is consistently very good, portions ample, service thoroughly professional, ambiance pleasing, noise level tolerable.....all in all nothing not to like....even if they did neglect to bring us the complementary salad.Expect the tab to approach $1125 with tax and tip.

Andiamo Restaurant

Reviewed By PerfectIslands

In this typical northern NJ Italian restaurant, the service is great and the food is very good. However, it’s not anything you haven’t seen in other Italian restaurants. It’s also very cramped and as others have noted, can get a bit noisey. Our server was attentive, everything came out perfectly. Don’t plan on any leftovers to enjoy another day as portions are ample for your meal, just not “generous”. Drinks are pricey, as are their desserts. Owners are on hand to great you and make sure everything is as it should be during your ,dining time there. Our table had an assortment of dishes. Steak, ravioli, & 3 different mixed seafood combos. All perfectly cooked. Bread comes with an interesting tomatoes relish of sorts. They have a large parking lot and the bar is often crowded.

Locale Cafe & Bar -Closter

Reviewed By ShazzGW

We totally enjoyed our evening here at Locale Cafe. Sat at the bar for cocktails and had the pleasure of being served by Yanni. What a great personality, introduced himself and his pour was a generous pour. He had vast knowledge of the wines. The rest of us (we were a party of 8) had seasonal cocktails and they said that they were very good too. Moving on to the dining area, food and waitstaff: Food is amazing. Not one of us had any complaints. My wedge salad was on point,m as was everyone else who had appetizers. My hubby had the salmon, he said it was amazing. Girlfriends and their husbands enjoyed their dishes too, short ribs, clams, etc. I had the goat cheese gnocchi and I definitely recommend that. It was DELICIOUS. Even the bread served with a very good Olive tapenade was good as was the hummus. Waitstaff seemed a bit off, we had to track them down a few times, never came back and checked whether we wanted refills on coffee for dessert, etc. If the waitstaff was better, I would’ve given this a 5 star. But definitely food is a 5 star!

Reviewed By JohnsCindy

It looks like an unassuming storefront which shares the same address as a spa next door. We attended a family graduation party with approx. 60 family members and had delicious Italian food (4courses) which was hot and freshly cooked and served in a timely manner. It is BYOB however the hosts provided wine and Proseco which was served by the staff. Usually large groups sacrifice either hot food, freshly prepared food or poor service. Buon Gusto has it all covered and did an excellent job with this large group!
