We love coming to Ninety acres for special occasions. Last night was a birthday dinner. Love the ambiance. I like sitting in either the bar area or on a banquette in the main dining room. Always a classy experience!

La Pergola has become one of our favorite local restaurants. We first dined there for Father's Day and had one of the most amazing and delicious experiences. The staff and wonderful family who owns the restaurant are first class in every way. You feel like you are part of their family as they are committed to making sure you feel welcomed and appreciated. We took our parents to La Pergola after seeing a musical at the Paper Mill Playhouse. From the moment we entered the restaurant we were warmly greeted and ushered to our table. The waiter and staff were very attentive and friendly. The meal was exquisite from beginning to end. Five stars is not enough to convey the experience you will have dining at La Pergola but will have to suffice for now. Thank you for being a mainstay in Milburn, NJ. We will be back soon!
