My mother in law's 80th birthday is coming up - would love recommendations for a restaurant (mid range in price, Italian most likely...though will consider other options.) She only gets one of these - so we don't want the dinner to be a bust! Thanks in advance for any/all ideas!

We ate last Saturday night in a restaurant in Madison called Il Mondo Vecchio that was quite good -- it's a byob. We're 78 and 82 so we're right in her ballpark agewise. We also like very much the Pluckemin Inn -- which is not Italian but very good. We live in Philly but our son & family live in Mendham, so we dine out in your area quite frequenty.

Il Mondo Vecchio in Madison might be the answer -- we dined there last Saturday night and enjoyed it. I'd also like to recommend the Pluckemin Inn -- not Italian but very good.

Thanks! My husband's looked at the menu, and really likes Il Mondo. Now, just have to convince a few of the other siblings... Will definitely post once it's decided...wherever we end, promise to provide a review (unless it's *cough* someplace like the Olive Garden or Cheesecake Factory...!) :)
