Best Casual Restaurants in Englewood Cliffs

The restaurant’s interior is stunning, but for larger groups, you may be seated in an outdoor area. While the outdoor space is decent, it doesn’t quite match the ambiance of the inside. It is equipped with space heaters, but it was still a bit chilly during our visit. We requested to be moved indoors, and the staff was very accommodating, relocating us inside as space allowed. This, of course, depends on availability, and we were fortunate that there was room for our group of eight. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make it special by providing a birthday card for my niece and presenting her cake with a candle. The food was, as always, absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant 100%!

Classic and classy Italian restaurant with history and tradition at its core. The Bolangnase sauce was excellent. The olives and parmesan cheese treats brought to the table gave a level of care to the experience. The bread was delicious.

We always enjoy Axia. The zucchini chips as a shared starter is first rate. There's one vegan option, which is a good idea as my wife is vegan. Their pastitsio is served en croute. Only issue tonight was restaurant was full (good for the owner) but service was a tad slower than usual.

We sat in the window on the first floor. The wait staff was very accommodating as we had 2 babies in our party of 7. The server was very polite and took our order slowly as we were ready one course at a time. The food was fantastic, and the drinks were poured generously. Everything was cooked correctly, and everyone enjoyed their meal.

Delicious food, generous portions, and warm and friendly service. Definitely recommend it for couples, families, or large groups.
