10. Se7te Pizzeria
Reviewed By billp25
Helpful and friendly wait staff. Spacious setting but be ready as it has a cafeteria vibe to it. BYOB. But... hot appetizers arrived cold. Pizza was supposed to be two kinds of buffalo mozz. but was instead cow mozz and a not high quality. Too bad ... with a little more focus they might be full instead of practically empty on the day we went.

What was once one of my favorite restaurants, is now just another one. We had made reservations two weeks prior for dinner and when the night of the dinner had arrived we were not greeted the usual way from PJ, felt like we were a burden to him. We waited for a seat even though there were plenty available and we were hurried off to a table which was in the busy section of the restaurant but overall not bad spot. Our server was very slow and someone I never saw there, but he tried to get our drinks but took forever. Our dinners came I got the surf and turf but portion was very small and not very filling. My wifeâs meal was chicken modamio which was great.Overall we were very disappointed and the final insult was the owner ignored us as we were leaving, not typical of him but I guess we must have done something to him which we were not sure of what that might be.I guess this was our last time there.Good luck P.J. It was nice while it lasted.Iâd like to apologize that your experience with us fell short of your expectations and prior experiences. I try to make all my customers feel at home and itâs obvious I failed to do so in this case. I donât recall the evening, but I can assure you that my behavior wasnât with purpose, but rather an oversight, which is not acceptable as well. I hope that you would reconsider and visit us again.

I have been living outside of NJ for 16 years and Dominick's Pizza had the great pizza elements I miss- great crust--not too thick, not too thin. Great quality cheese. Marinara sauce made with simmered Italian spices. High quality toppings and generous portions of toppings. Definitely a great classic New Jersey Pizza place.

From all appearances, . this establishment is busy, with people waiting in line on a weekend evening. We had called with reservations and got seated in ten minutes, But the staff seemed disorganized and after about twenty minutes finally asked us if we wanted some bread to go along with the wine we had brought. They had the traditional Italian fare, pastas ,seafood and a menu written in cursive which was barely legible. My meal was supposed to be Papadelle, with a seafood ragu. But I'm not sure where the seafood was, as the pieces were miniature. The pasta itself was good but the service was inconsistent. It was about 45 minutes when the manager came over to our table to finally take our order. If you go make sure you bring some wine and expect to wait.

Charming simple decor with relaxed atmosphere in small storefront location on Garret Mountain in Woodland Park, NJ. First time visit at recommendation of friends. Standard Italian menu with specials that had a Caribbean flare. The potatoes and hot peppers appetizer was very good but potatoes were like chips instead of sauteed. A different take but fine. The calamari special had a tasty ginger and sweet pepper topping. Very good. Hubby had the halibut special which was delicious but another Caribbean flavor of mango infused veggies over rice. Huge portion we should have shared. It was $32 and would have preferred a smaller portion for less cost but it will make a nice second meal. I had the capallini with shrimp and tomatoes with cannellini. It was fine. Would go back. Service excellent. Really a 4.5 rating. A little expensive for a byob place. Was $100 for 2 with no drinks.

A mainstay restaurant for all newjerseyians. Vintage, charming and beautiful. Great for ladies who lunch, business and special occasions. The menu is fabulous. The chef reigns here too. Service is flawless. But skip for motherâs day brunch, when the service and crowds ruin the place. Fine restaurants should not attempt to roll out food commonly when they provide superior service all year round.

Stumbled upon this gem by accident while in the area... attentive waitstaff and amazing Italian cuisine! Starting with the fresh bread and complimentary antipasti...fettuccine malafemmina ... definitely order the homemade pasta! Garlic on the sautéed spinach is roasted to perfection. Lasagna bolognese not on the menu but made to order.... dual off between ny style cheesecake and ricotta based cheesecake, hands down in house made ricotta! Only constructive criticism, homemade cheesecake calls for homemade cream!Byob, excellent place next door. Thank you to Kevin for a must return experience!

My girlfriend and I went for dinner just last night, our last night in St Martin. It was hands down the best meal we had between our nights in Anguilla and St Martin. We would probably have gone more if we had realized how tasty it was earlier in the stay. We split the beef carpaccio to start. It was great and not overly truffle oiled. I got the truffle ricotta ravioli with asparagus cream sauce, which was outstanding. My girlfriend ordered the crap pasta which was very good, though we both thought the ravioli won. We then split the tiramisu for dessert. We also had two drinks total (me a martini and her a glass of wine). Total bill was less than 100 (99$, but still). Easily would have paid more too. Maybe its being to NYC prices but the food and value was beyond fair and worthwhile. They do a great job there and its a high recommend! Must go!
