Lunch at Lu Nello (Cedar Grove)

I had lunch at Lu Nello the other day -- as always, as usual and as expected . . . Excellent!!! In every way. Service was top notch -- very attentive, prompt and courteous. Appetizers -- one of my favorites . . . spedini . . . had very nice, slight hints of lemon flavor, a little butter, which just complimented the wonderful anchovy sauce. Not overly thick or pasty, not thin and watery -- just perfect. The entree(s) were just as wonderful -- a fish special my friend had, and he raved about it (no, I didn't have a piece, LOL). I had a steak special -- excellent.

The only downside -- if I really had to find something -- the bread. I got the long, thin breadsticks which I like. However, the bread was a small loaf, in that it wasn't one of the larger, hearty types of loafs -- and, it didn't seem to be very fresh. I was a bit surprised. They served a few olives, and some pieces of parmesean cheese.

Everything here is super. Between this place and Casa Dante (Jersey City), which I haven't been to in far too long, these are two of my favorites and I'd have no problem driving a distance to either one.

Enjoy.

The Cedar Grove space was formerly occupied by Villa d'Este.

Ironically, the space that LuNello vacated in Totowa became Restaurant Earth with Anthony LoPinto for a brief spell

Apparently it's easier still to dictate the conversation and in effect, kill the conversation.
