Best Restaurants for Foodies in Mahwah

Not only are both the food and service always outstanding, but it’s always nice to be greeted by Marcelo, such a nice, personal touch. Both my wife and I had the short ribs, at the waiter’s suggestion, and it did not disappoint.

Lovely Christmas luncheon with my staff. Beautifully decorated for the holidays with long-standing very attentive staff. Spinach pie is always a standout along with any fish. A wonderful leisurely lunch.

First time here but we will visit again when we visit here again. The decorations were beautiful. The food was excellent with many choices

My husband and I dined at this authentic gourmet Italian restaurant on a Thursday night. The food was delicious and the service was superb! I highly recommend this beautiful, quaint ,elegant BYOB Italian Osteria for an elegant pleasant dining experience. . I already made reservation for a Saturday night to celebrate Christmas with our best friends 🍷 Massimo , owner and chef is very amicable and knowledgeable so as Mauricio, and Fabrizio.

Although reservations were a bit challenging to make, it was worth the wait. The staff were extremely friendly, accommodating, professional and knowledgeable. We were made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Kudos to a well-run establishment! The food went beyond expectations and Chef Jamie Knott is to be commended. My dietary challenges were addressed with no fuss. I ordered the the side artichokes as an appetizer; and as I am unable to have cheese, they were prepared with butter, lemon and lovely seasoning - very tasty. I had the halibut special which was cooked to perfection. I was asked the doneness preference which surprised me as even in the best seafood establishments this is never asked. I don't like overdone halibut, but slightly moist but firm. It was delightful and utterly delicious! Such flavor! My husband ordered the Spanish octopus appetizer which was so tender and so tasty. His entre consisted of the lamb chops which were cooked to a lovely tender pink and were delectable. We split the mini chocolate cakes which were yummy! Service was spot on - all you had to do was look up if you needed something, and our server was there. I can't say enough about how wonderful everyone was. All in all, a wonderful experience.
