Best restaurants near me in Hillsdale, NJ

We highly recommend Mezza after our first meal there. We're not big foodies, but our taste buds work. Everything we had was good to great. Both the Moroccan Chicken Tajine and Pappardelle were delicious and tender, fairly priced at $38, and large enough to provide seniors with a small second helping to take home. The kale-based salad, which was ample enough for seniors to split and still take some home, was fine, just a tad dry and chewy; but the superb dressing, which we requested be on the side, made it just fine. Special requests (e.g., no onions) were perfectly honored. The one "special" dessert requiring 1/2 hr. advance notice for baking -- chocolate souffle w/ vanilla ice cream, was a little pricey but very good and enough for two (with the male getting 70 percent). The BYOB is both consumer-friendly and price wise, enabling us to enjoy a dry Riesling we'd tasted last month. Service was attentive, not pushy and not gratuitous. We both look forward to returning as soon as propriety allows -- we're not big restaurant spenders, and consider this a special meal out.

Overall experience was excellent! Service was wonderful, Ava our waitress smiled the whole night, very attentive. Whole staff was great! Good was fantastic! Portions were huge! I had the shrimp Bari and my wife had the chicken Milanese! We brought half home. Ambience was quiet, felt the should have had Italian music playing, Bocelli or even Sinatra. Highly recommend!

I ordered veal saltimboca and requested linguine instead of potatoes…no problem It was delicious and a generous serving. My husband and friend both had the veal Marsala fungi and both absolutely loved it. We were able to hold a conversation with no problem, no need to raise your voice to hear over loud rock music, which was a problem at another restaurant we had gone to last week in Park Ridge. Would highly recommend Alba’s and we are all looking forward to returning there for another meal.

Me and my wife first time here. It was amazing. The food was great. The servers was great, funny lol loves to joke with you. The owner is such amazing guy. Me and my wife really had a great time here and will be back definitely.

Exceptional sushi!!! Ambience conducive to conversation...
