Best Date Night Restaurants in Nutley

The food was excellent, just 2 minor things: 1-they don't serve alcohol here. I have since learned this has something to do with Montclair in general, though this restaurant does allow you to bring your own wine. I don't hold it against them, they have no control over it and now i know for next time. 2-They had a modified menu for Valentines weekend, so the regular menu wasn't available. Not the end of the world at all, and we got our food EXTREMELY quickly (and it was delicious), just another thing i wish i had known ahead of time.

Consistency is key! My husband and I are frequent patrons. We brought our whole family (from out of town) and all were very pleased. Pappardelle with short ribs, steaks, crab cakes were all very good.

We were celebrating three birthdays as a family and the Highlawn staff and management did their very best! The food was impeccable especially their specialty salads and the staff were very accommodating with various food allergens.

My partner and I had a great experience dining here at Spuntino! Amazing Italian food, along with a variety of cocktails to choose from. The service was great and attentive the whole meal and made suggestions of pairing food and drink. We are definitely going back soon for drinks at the bar to try more of their amazing specials!

Wonderful meal in every way! The good was outstanding. I had the octopus as one of my 4 choices; it was the most tender octopus that I've had anywhere, hands down! Service was attentive without being hovering. They were very knowledgeable about all of the different courses. Romantic setting.
