Best Cozy Restaurants in Maplewood

The ambience sets the tone, when you walk thru the doors and are warmed by the gorgeous fire. The service and food were excellent. We were celebrating a birthday and it was extra special! Thanks!

Wait staff seated us immediately and menus were provided. We loved the wild mushroom soup special which was creamy and very savory. Tre colore salad was wonderful and dressed perfectly. Our calamari was too heavily breaded and a tad overdone. The marinara, that accompanied the calamari, was bright and flavorful, although I like it spicy so I added some hot pepper flakes. I really enjoyed my scallops, Sicilian style, with capers and olives in a white wine sauce. My request for spinach instead of pasta was immediately granted. I truly appreciated that. My husband felt the rack of lamb was just okay. The cappuccino gelato had a strange texture, kind of gummy like it was dried out. The chocolate gelato texture was fine and had a nice flavor.

This little gem is perfect before a show at the Paper Mill, but also for anytime really. Food was great, and while the servers worked hard, their timing could be a little better. Main course being served before appetizers were cleared, etc. other than that little hiccup, the service is great. Overall, it was a great experience.

Went here for family dinner on Xmas. Food was superb. Atmosphere was amazing. I had the Lamb shank. Meat fell off the bone and melted in my mouth. Definitely going back.

The service was fantastic. The food plentiful and delicious - would highly recommend especially the Penne Alla Vodka.
