Best Casual Restaurants in Rutherford

This place is the best of the best. I haven’t had a pizza in the States that can hold a candle to Song E Napule. Today we went and tried their butternut squash gnocchi— they are soft, pillowy, round shaped fresh pasta but they’re stuffed in the middle. I can’t tell you with what except that they were phenomenal and a must have. We shared them as an appetizer. Of course we don’t go there without getting a pizza from Giampiero, who has quickly become my favorite pizzaiolo, and he didn’t disappoint. Feels like heaven with every bite! This man is a maestro I tell you! I love him! I also had the privilege of meeting Giuseppe, who I believe is also a chef and pizzaiolo. What a delight! All of the food was fantastic, The Saltimbocca special is a slam bang winner! For dessert we ordered cappuccino (did I mention they have the best coffee?!) and then Omar came over and told us that the chefs were making a special dessert for us. OH. MY. GOODNESS. Or I should say “Maronna mi!” This was one of the best desserts we’ve ever had! It was like a fresh jelly and perfectly sweetened cream cheese donut— except it was like a calzone. I seriously have no words for this sinfully delicious treat that we couldn’t help but polish off even though we were trying to stay away from desserts! We said “it’s the holidays! When are we going to eat this again?!” And we savored every bite of that crunchy, yet soft and oh so flavorful outside and that velvety goodness that was on the inside. WOW! If I could give this place 10 stars I would. They’re amazing! Eduardo came over to us and knew our names and was so kind and welcoming and Kevin was great and very accommodating. Omar is our usual server who really makes us feel like family. Great food. Great location (we always find parking). Great people. Very Clean! Who could ask for more? This place is a gift. We’re already planning on going back next week. Caution: When you leave, a little piece of your heart will remain at Song E Napule.

Great food, great service (even on a very busy Saturday night). A place worth dining and trying everything and if it’s not to your liking, ask to make it a certain way and it won’t be an issue.

Food and service is always great. Enjoyed every minute of the experience.

My wife and I had dinner here, food was very good and portions were huge for the price, atmosphere was great but tables were a bit to close but we would definitely dine here again in the near future

I really enjoyed the food and my cocktail! I had the fried chicken and cornbread waffle. The pretty in pink cocktail was very tasty as well!
