Price: Expensive
• Pizzeria • Montclair
Booked 8 times today
At Bivio our passion is authentic Neapolitan pizza. Napoli... our love of the city, its cuisine, and in particular, its pizza is where our story began. We heard time and time again “It’s all about the dough.” True to Neapolitan tradition, and the passion of the pizzaioli, we construct our pizza using “00” flour from Naples, San Marzano DOP tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, fior di latte or bufala mozzarella, and sea salt. Our dough is gently mixed using a 28 year old “lieveto madre” (natural yeast culture) then with intense heat is baked in our wood burning il forno. At Bivio all of our dishes are made with the freshest and highest quality ingredients.

    The food -- rack of lamb and beignets for dessert- was excellent. Their veggies are always cooked to perfection in this case roasted carrots and a creamy potato gratin. It's expensive but a great place to eat, Service is great, very attentive but not annoyingly so. I would highly recommend Nico's. I have eaten here for several years as I have NJPAC tickets. An excellent dinner and a good show is something to look forward to!

    If you are looking for excellent food and service, La Griglia is definitely the restaurant to consider. I use the word consistency to describe each and every dinner we have experienced. From their signature broiled crab cakes (which are the best around) savory endive salad, burrata and heirloom tomatoes appetizers to amazing Dover sole, beautifully prepared Bronzino, and great beef, pork and chicken options, all the entrees are wonderful. If wine pairing is your thing, their list is considerable and has something for every palate. Great service is La Griglia’s priority. From water and wine glasses tended to, to the crumbing and bussing of tables, the staff shines and works in tandem. We love it here and know you will never go wrong choosing La Griglia as your dining destination.

    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!
