I was searching for a place not to far a drive for dinner when the better half suggested staying closer to home. I said "yes dear". Glad we did, we went to a new place just opened in Livingston, in the space that used to be Blue Moon, Pizzeta Enoteca. I don't know what the name means but I thought pizza. While they do have a full list of very gourmet type pies they also have a range of seafood dishes and panini sandwiches. It's owned and run by the same people that have Martini's in Millburn,(where there is another Pizzeta). Food was excellent! We shared a plate of calamari,($6) that was fried with a very light touch. My wife had a scampi over linguini,($14) the shimp were butterflied and split so when they cooked they curled away from the tail, hard to explain, great presentation. They were also HUGE! She completely enjoyed it, first time in a long time she didn't take something home. I had a plate of cheese ravioli w/ a sweet red sauce and fresh basil,($14), and a side of grilled sweet sausage,($5), there must have been a pound and a half of sliced sausage. We split a cannoli for desert. Everything was great, and all the pasta's are made in-house. Full bar and the wine list takes up half of the menu. Before anyone says anything, no I am not related, employed, have a friend of a friend, or am in any way connected to the place. I'm just really happy to have a GOOD new place open in the neighborhood!

Ambiance CAN be as important as the food!

I was wondering why I didn't recognize this place when I drove past it on the way to Depot yesterday.

This sounds interesting, although I still have Stretch's on my list as the next place to try in Livingston...

Also, and I guess this may deserve a new thread - does anyone know anything about the new complex being built in 'downtown' Livingston (S Livingston Ave + Mount Pleasant)? I hope we'll be greeted with some more interesting dining choices.
