Best Authentic Restaurants in Paterson

Highly recommend. The food was outstanding. The atmosphere is very pleasant. The waiters were all very attentive.

Went for Valentine’s Day and was pleasantly surprised that there was a special menu but also regular menu was also available. We chose the special menu which was very reasonably priced at $90 for two with options for each course. Started with burrata caprese. Nice size portion and cheese very good but tomatoes were not that flavorful. (Other option was fried zucchini) Next was Caesar salad- tasty and not overdressed (other option was garden salad) Next was main dish. I had Branzino with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Delicious and enough for 2 meals. Husband had scallops with risotto which he enjoyed. There were 4 choices for entrees. Dessert was a medley of sweets. The churro was the best of the group. Coffee was included. Atmosphere was nice. Servers very pleasant. We had an 8 pm reservation and were seated immediately and were not rushed. Nice amount of time between courses Overall an excellent meal.

My cocktail was $18 but very delicious! We did the Lunch pre-fix menu, which was totally worth it! The appetizers were AMAZING!!! The food portions were great, we needed to take our lunch and dessert home. My chicken was a little on the drier side, but the flavor was on point! Would definitely go back and recommend this place to my friends! They are starting brunch service on February 22nd. Our waiter was attentive, but a soft talker.

We had a delicious, cozy birthday lunch here! It was everything we were looking for--delicious food in a cozy environment to catch up. *BYOB* but we just opted for some sparkling water to start. All their options sounded delicious. We finally decided on Zucchine Flan for starters (fresh and tasty) and dined on Cavatelli and Gnocchi for our mains. Must try their desserts too! Espresso Affogato and Crostata. YUMMM. Neighborhood gem. Highly recommend! Staff was very courteous, knowledgeable, and polite. Owner stopped by to say hello as well :) (they offer a Business Lunch menu--will need to go back to try. A more affordable option to try other menu options!)
