Boccone South is my husband's and my favorite restaurant! The food is scrumptious, the service impeccable and the owner Silvio is a warm and charming host. The bread pudding desert is to die for!

Attentive service, delicious food priced right. What more could you want??? The halibut was delish and the special monkfish over mango salsa was very good. The veal and chicken parm dishes were plentiful and prepared well. For dessert, we had the bread pudding, chocolate peanut butter gelato; both were outstanding. Because the buildi9ng was sold and the restaurant has to move soon, it is South Orange's loss and Short Hills' gain.

I have been going to Boccone South any time I have tickets at SoPAC because they have several dishes that I really like. I am sorry that they are moving from this location, but they are evidently opening up another location in Summit. The food is good and the service is attentive. It is, though, BYOB.

Good as always. We’ve been going to Boccone’s for over 5 years. Our friends and family always request that we go Boccone’s for dinner. The service, quality and presentation of the dishes are always excellent. Our usual server Nicole, knows what we like, we almost order as Nicole know. BROVO
