Luca's Ristorante

This is the 4th time I have been there, and 3 times I brought another couple. The food is very good. The service, (the last waitress was excellent) is very good. The atmosphere very good. Price reasonable. But I (we) keep coming back, with all things being equal because of the piano player. It makes it not just going out to eat. Just a great experience that not even piped in music gives you. Not to mention he is a great piano player. We have been fortunate to be on the side he is when we go. Not sure if you would hear him on the larger section.

The food is homemade and delicious. I have made an hour and a half drive from NY to NJ just to get a meal at this restaurant; a warm fresh baked bread basket with a variety of breads served with olive oil and a house blend of spices, the spedini with brandy sauce, the homemade vinegarette salad dressings (with the perfect blend of spices), all of the fresh homemade pasta dishes are delicious, especially the rigatoni alla vodka, and you must try the death by chocolate and the homemade gelatos. Go on an empty stomach! The wait staff is friendly; sometimes a wait, but worth it. The owner has personally decorated every inch of the restaurant with items shipped in from his hometown in Italy, including the painted tiles on the wall. Beautiful surroundings, delicious food.
