Best Restaurants for Groups in West Orange

This place is the best of the best. I haven’t had a pizza in the States that can hold a candle to Song E Napule. Today we went and tried their butternut squash gnocchi— they are soft, pillowy, round shaped fresh pasta but they’re stuffed in the middle. I can’t tell you with what except that they were phenomenal and a must have. We shared them as an appetizer. Of course we don’t go there without getting a pizza from Giampiero, who has quickly become my favorite pizzaiolo, and he didn’t disappoint. Feels like heaven with every bite! This man is a maestro I tell you! I love him! I also had the privilege of meeting Giuseppe, who I believe is also a chef and pizzaiolo. What a delight! All of the food was fantastic, The Saltimbocca special is a slam bang winner! For dessert we ordered cappuccino (did I mention they have the best coffee?!) and then Omar came over and told us that the chefs were making a special dessert for us. OH. MY. GOODNESS. Or I should say “Maronna mi!” This was one of the best desserts we’ve ever had! It was like a fresh jelly and perfectly sweetened cream cheese donut— except it was like a calzone. I seriously have no words for this sinfully delicious treat that we couldn’t help but polish off even though we were trying to stay away from desserts! We said “it’s the holidays! When are we going to eat this again?!” And we savored every bite of that crunchy, yet soft and oh so flavorful outside and that velvety goodness that was on the inside. WOW! If I could give this place 10 stars I would. They’re amazing! Eduardo came over to us and knew our names and was so kind and welcoming and Kevin was great and very accommodating. Omar is our usual server who really makes us feel like family. Great food. Great location (we always find parking). Great people. Very Clean! Who could ask for more? This place is a gift. We’re already planning on going back next week. Caution: When you leave, a little piece of your heart will remain at Song E Napule.

Food was amazing ! I loved the jerk chicken wings, the corn and the drinks !

Had an amazing time at Djamal for my wife’s birthday!!!! Would 1,000% recommend to anyone looking for a good vibe!! The food is also amazing.

We enjoyed going out for dinner, and this was an experience. The server, Max, was excellent. He told us every dinner special with flair and personality, making every dish sound perfect. At his recommendation, we tried the tuna appetizer on pillow filo dough puffs; wow! We shared the beet salad (excellent), and the crab cakes were delicious. For dinner, the lamb chops were spectacular. We received a visit from Pete, who showed so much care for the details of the gorgeous Mediterranean interior, and Barbara, who ensured everything was perfect. Their care made us feel genuinely valued. We will make this a regular night out.

Took a chance for a last minute anniversary dinner. Great choice! Unbelievably creative cocktails, very attentive after, and really interesting Mexican menu. Taco appetizers were good, but the other dishes - mole enchilada and guava paste tostada - were exceptional. And the cocktail were so good we skipped dessert to indulge in one more round. Great little gem (in a funny strip mall). Highly recommend.
