Balocco, Route 3 East

[MJP]

Anyone know anything about Balocco? It's apparently either part of or right next to the monastery on Route 3 East in Clifton. Google and forum searches yield no info.

No info on this new place since it changed ownership...once again.

I did know the owners of the previous establishment there. They sold because they had differing opinions on how to run the business..

I believe it was called The Skyline View.

I happened to drive by their sign on Grove St. today, which still says "View Restaurant" in huge letters, and "The Skyline" in tiny-almost-invisible letters directly above the word "View."

Nomenclature of the old place aside, shouldn't they put up a new sign if they have a new name?

I've had dinner there twice in the last year and have enjoyed it both times. I believe they have live entertainment in the bar several nights a week.

i have to wonder about a restaurant that thinks it doesn't need a (google-able) web presence.

Anything that really sets it apart food-wise?

[Susan]

They used to have a website under their old name, but I can't find it anymore. If you call them, they can tell you if they have a website and under what name.

I would not say that they have anything that sets them apart food-wise.

let's hope it's not done yet, and that's the reason they haven't submitted it to search engines.

they make it sound like Lupa or Otto on that website. i'm guessing it's not, though.
