My hubby & I are elated that they’ve finally listened to customer feedback and have brought back some signature dishes that we’ve missed for years! Filet con hungus & budin de pollo ❤️ while speaking with the manager and Samantha we asked about those and they both said in unison “We have that!” We were shocked and ordered right away and both dishes were as delicious as we remembered!!! Special call out to Samantha who is an exceptionally sweet and attentive bartender who we enjoyed speaking with!

I want to congratulate the MetLife team for getting the MetLife 50 Club back on track for Game 3 (Giants vs Cardinals). I have been a long time fan of the Club but was confused and disappointed by the very limited food selection (breakfast only) and indifferent service for Game 2. In fact, I almost didn’t make a reservation for Game 3. After reading others’ reviews, I was not alone in my concern. This time the quality and selection of food was greatly enhanced and there were more people clearing plates, restocking food, etc. It made for an excellent family meeting place prior to kick off. Please continue on this trend! My one suggestion is - improve the check in experience. I entered the stadium when the gates opened but there was a line to check in at MetLife 50 by the time I arrived. I timed it - 30 minutes to check in and pay. Also, with the new entrance location, it’s 30 minutes of waiting in a busy area where people are constantly cutting through and bumping into you. We know you can do better than this!

Best restaurant in the area! We got the baked clams, stuffed hot peppers, to start and they were all 10/10. Me and my fiancee got the pappardelle , bone in ribeye steak special, and it was perfection! I had the tiramisu for dessert and it was the best. I can't wait to go back! Super high-end italian place in New Jersey. You'll see Don at the restaurant from time to time. The staff members are phenomenal to deal with very friendly and super nice the food is very Italian authentic al dente with all their pasta. 10/10 would totally come back there again just for the pasta. Bravo

There was a BIG football game and the place was packed. I expect cheering etc. It was still a great place for two people to speak at normal tone in a booth sitting across from each other.

Great dining experience. The portions are smaller so my friend and I shared a few dishes but good food and great service. Live jazz created a really nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend.
