Triestina Restaurant

Reviewed By paul3776

Triestina is seemingly an old world Italian BYO. Nondescript free standing building with a parking lot in the rear with a larger adjacent lot. The food was excellent, large Porto’s and very well prepared. The veal chops were gargantuan and delicious, the ahi tuna was as good as the chop and also quite large. Other choices sampled by our group were salmon, red snapper and pasta sides, all of which were excellent. Service was very attentive and professional.

Joe's Rotisseria

Reviewed By windsgroup

If you watch the Food Network channel, you may have seen “Dinners, Drive-ins. And Dives”. Well this is a dive. Parking is directly of Westfield Avenue so be careful not to miss it. The rundown atmosphere and clutter does not this restaurant appealing. The lack of air conditioning made very warm inside with the heat of the ovens. The chairs were uncomfortable and abutted cases of water on the floor. Wood bank chairs on the opposite side of the room weren’t any mor appealing. In short, the restaurant is setup for call ahead ordering or delivery. It’s not accommodating for patrons.The “triple threat” is a unique pizza with a combination calzone, garlic knots, and pepperoni pizza. It lacked taste but the combination of ingredients made it interesting at best. The other order of pepperoni wheels, chopped fried cheese, and cheese pizza was no different. The Vodka sauce actually tasted better when the pizza cooled down. In short, if you like to experience exotic pizza combinations that don’t WOW with flavor, this your place. There is no atmosphere but the waitstaff was friendly.

Everything here is so fresh and tasty - never disappoints! Only complaint is I wish the place took reservations or expanded. Many times we want to go but don't because we just don't have the time or patience to wait (and wait, and wait.....)

Al Santillo's Brick Oven Pizza

We decided to do Pizza and salad for dinner with another couple. They said Santilla's pizza was the best in New Jersey. Maybe it's the best for out-of-towners, who do't know what pizza should taste like. We ordered two medium size pizzas with vegetables. We paid $67! The crust was burned, the pizza was boring, they were skimpy with the veggies. I WOULD NEVER WASTE CALORIES EATING THIS PIZZA AGAIN, EVEN IF IT WAS FREE! Who voted for this place.....there is some seriously yummy pizza places in MJ, but this one is NOT it>

Reviewed By adksgirl

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time recently and loved it. The entire staff was welcoming and attentive, the food delicious and the drinks wonderful. Portions were ample and flavorful. 2 minor dings- the accompanying side salad was a bit lackluster and the bread was pretty average which surprised me as the food quality is otherwise outstanding. We would definitely return in the future. It was a very enjoyable night out.

Enjoyed dinner here for birthday celebration...Restaurant is small but comfortable and location in center of town with a parking lot located behind restaurant, made for easy access. Server was friendly and attentive to table. Dinner consisted of appetizers of eggplant rollatini, shimp in garlic sauce, Brie cheese and fruit platter and artichoke with garlic sauce..all delicious, crabcake appe was small sized for price.. For dinner we enjoyed the pork chop, steak, shrimp dinner ..But only issue would be the dessert and coffee prices ..abit pricey..$10.50 for A piece of tiramisu ..and a small portion at that..Cappuccino was good but at $5.95 a cup..pass on dessert/coffee.!!

Reviewed By maireconghaile2016

La Campagnola is a gem of a restaurant, with some of the best Italian food to be found in New Jersey. Tucked away in Kenilworth's industrial zone, la Campagnola's outward appearance does no justice to the wonderful menu inside. The owner and staff are friendly and very professional -- the waiters recite the day's menu from memory and can make informed recommendations. While the specials (ex, mussels in brandy cream sauce) are mouthwatering, the standard menu (ex, linguine alla vongole) is solid and well done. All the parmagiana dishes are excellent, so is the chicken La Campagnola. The filet mignon, when available, is perfectly done. The menu tilts toward seafood (scallops on risotto, various shrimp dishes, salmon, etc) but really everything is done quite well. The chef/owner worked for many years at a famous Italian restaurant in Jersey City and he knows the palate of his customers. La Campagnola is a hidden treasure.

You can order the tasty traditional Italian entrees such as Marsala, Parm and standard pastas but they have an extended menu where there are many entrees not normally seen locally. Shrimp with Broccoli Rabe, Seafood Canollini, Short Ribs with Risotto, Italian Stuffed Sole. To be honest we have never had the pizza, we are spoiled by another local institution. For a lovely meal come to Michelino's
