    The pre fixed lunch menu was delicious. It felt a bit restrictive but the food was executed perfectly.

    Everything about this place is incredible - the atmosphere, the service, food, dessert - it’s truly a joy to eat here. Some highlights include the polpete, antipasti plate, cacio e pepe, organic chicken parm and lobster fettuccine. We also had the tiramisu which was such a treat and great way to round out the meal. If you’re looking for an upscale yet relaxing dining experience in Montclair - COME HERE! Everything we had was to die for (special shout-out to the chicken & lobster fettuccine - some of the best I’ve ever had). My new favorite restaurant in Montclair.

    We went here for dinner at 5:30, so I it may not be true of a later crowded space, but the tapas & service were outstanding at that time. We can't wait to go back when the weather is better to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful views.

    Let me start by saying that service was impeccable! Starting with the hostess being very attentive and nice, to our server that was 10/10! Food wise, we ordered the tuna tartare which was good. Not a classic tartare but really good! A very nice surprise with the tonato sauce, paired with micro greens and freshly toasted bread and olive oil on the table. We continued our meal with two seafood dishes and the shrimp and mussels were cooked beautifully. The restaurant offers a nice cozy atmosphere and did we mention that the service and the staff were amazing? Mr. Franco Porporino (the owner) seems to care very much about his restaurant and customer satisfaction and that left us very impressed. All the best and happy holidays, Anca & Liv
