Best Italian Restaurants in Tenafly

Loved the ambitious and food but took a very long time

Everything was perfect and food was good. I have no complaints! I really liked my dish, the stuff chicken Marsala.

It was Valentines night so your not always sure what To expect. The food was absolutely amazing. We had the tempura cauliflower and Eggplant plant meatball appetizers. The cauliflower with an aioli sauce was perfect. Fried crispy yet perfect on the inside. The meatless meatballs were really good. The red sauce they are served with was perfect. I got the Sirloin strip for my main course. If I had been going to a top steak house instead, I would have been thrilled with this steak. Cooked to perfection, perfectly seasoned and amazingly tender and tasty. Bravo. My girlfriend got the Fillet Mignon cooked medium. Not only was it a perfect pink from top to bottom, with an amazing sear , it was melt in your mouth good and very tasty for a fillet. She loved it. I had mine with their whipped potatoes and sautéed string beans. Both were perfect. Ask them for a side of sautéed string beans, they’re not on the menu. You won’t be disappointed. We split the crème brulle Cheese cake for Desert. A perfect ending to one of the better meals I’ve had out in a long time. The service was top notch as well. The perfect amount of presence exactly when you needed it and not when you didnt. All the servers worked great as a team. The sign of a good maitre d’. Easy in and out with valet parking. There really is nothing bad to say at all. I would highly recommend Zuppa.

We had another wonderful dining experience at Grissini last night. The Caesar salad was incredibly fresh and tasty. Pasta and fish dishes all amazing. Jesus, our waiter, was incredibly attentive. He provided exceptional service which made my birthday dinner memorable. Highly recommend!

The Chicken Sanzari was prepared to perfection as it always is - tender, flavorful and plentiful enough to bring home. Although I dine here regularly, my party also tried for the very first time the Rigatoni Bolognese, which was excellent. I will order it again in future visits. The beet salad was prepared with green beans and was not a good combination in my opinion, so I would not order it again. However, their unique dessert, an all pistachio tartufo, finished off our meal very nicely. Sanzari's never fails to satisfy. Service is always top notch, which is why I return so often!
