Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Saddle River

We plan our trip to NYC around eating at Carmine’s. This time we ate at the upper West Side location. We usually eat at the Times Square location. But this year it was booked solid for Christmas a month in advance. We were wowed again with an awesome meal at Carmines at 91st Street. We had the garlic bread with cheese. We always ask to add the cheese. So wonderful. We also split the lasagna. It is the best we have ever tasted. We brought over half of it home. I would recommend either Carmine’s to anyone wanting authentic Italian food at its best.

This was a fun & greatly priced experience to share with your loved ones. Anthony, our instructor, was friendly and very personable and the food was delicious. A good bang for your buck! Will come again for the food alone.

I definitely recommend this nice little hidden gem of a restaurant. BYO is always a plus. Especially with Bottle King of Hillsdale right down the block. Enjoy!

Absolutely wonderful meal from start to finish. The food was amazing and the service was top notch.
