   More vegetarian options would be better, for example broccoli rabe over pasta with marinara...

   We went with the intention to get veal parm. as this was one of the better places in the area to get it. We knew ownership had changed, but were surprised by the new menu, which in truth we shouldn't have been. If you are a regular, but haven't been there in recently, be mentally prepared. This is a different restaurant now. Still a BYOB. The décor has been updated, and looks great. The menu has been changed completely, offering a smaller, yet a sufficient amount of dishes. We've always said restaurants with huge menu's cannot possibly give good quality, so this menu offers enough for the kitchen to produce quality still offering amble selections. The dinner portions were a fair size for the price. The short ribs were delicious and we would highly recommend. We did feel the salad portions were far too small for the cost, but also preferred the size of the salad if the price was reduced. For this reason in going back, which we will, I would personally skip the salad. If you do decide to get one, there is not enough to share. I can't speak for the cost of the dessert because I don't know what it was, but the slice of limoncello cake was smaller than we normally get elsewhere, but with that said the cake was very good. We would recommend you give the new ownership, and the new Janina's a try.

   The food was outstanding. There are so many Italian restaurants in NJ that I normally avoid them but I heard good things about this restaurant and they did not disappoint. A local gem.
