“ Amazing meal in non descript location. You would never know it was there but it ia worth the trip. The sauce is so delish! The meatballs were great. Michael Angelo himself came out to say hello. Dont miss this little gem. ”
“ Excellent food! Service is very good too. I would go as far as saying some as the best Italian food in Northern NJ. To the people complaining it is too busy, sorry the world is not dedicated to just you. When the food is this good the restaurant is busy. Portions are plentiful, we always leave with leftovers to fight for at the next days lunch. The red sauce is amazing and tastes like real Italian food. The pasta is home made just as this place did in Newark 30 years ago. Must try the Sunday Gravy..Great variety of dishes beyond pasta. The double cut pork chops are a favorite. We have been there several times with multiple people and everyone always raves about the food. We drive almost an hour and it is worth it. Nice casual atmosphere with a feeling of sophistication. Not a place with screaming kids running around but where you can enjoy a nice Italian meal with family or friends. No kids menu as it should be. You want chicken fingers and miniature hamburgers go to McDonald's or teach your kids to eat proper. ”
“ A Newark institution moved to the burbs. Michael Angelo brought his outstanding cuisine to this location many years ago but still identifies with its origins in Newark's Little Italy. My recent visit confirms that they haven't lost any of their former appeal. The food and service are top-notch. When you go, bring an appetite. The portions are very generous, and every bite is a delight. ”
“ My first time there. We had shrimp beep and calamari to start. Both were amazing. We both had the Sunday Gravy as our meal. Pure Italian Heaven. We'll be back!!!! ”
“ The food was absolutely delicious and service was great too! We were a party of 8 on a Saturday night, and I'm speaking on everyones behalf. We met Michael the owner, who actually made us a special order of zeppolies which were incredible! We definitely will be back! Thank you again. ”
“ What a hidden gem. Asked a friend of mine if there's anywhere to get real fresh pasta near Fairfield. He said only one place. But don't judge a book by its cover. It's inside a dive hotel. My wife heeeell no. We're not eating here. As soon as we walked in we felt we were in the right place. The smells and the quality of food coming out was mind blowing. We got the rigatoni with vodka sauce. UNREAL! This place is a must try! Home made pasta, sauces, cutlets. Definitely going to be a weekly staple for us. ”
“ Excellent thin crust, brick oven pizza. Great flavor and crust. Definitely some of the best pizza in the area. ”
