Guerriero's - Morristown

I visited last night and wasn’t in a hurry. The new dining area is very spacious and inviting. The food has always been good, but it's reached a whole new level. In a city where the restaurant scene can often be just average, this place stands out. Even with a great deal, the service was outstanding, which is not something you can always expect these days. I highly recommend trying the mussel appetizer; it was excellent!

There were two things I wish I had known before visiting: 1. They only accept cash, checks, or Venmo; they don’t have a card reader. 2. They don’t have an alcohol license, so it's strictly BYOB/W. However, I have to say the food was fantastic. I ordered the ravioli, which was surprising since I’m not usually a fan, but the server was spot on—it was out of this world. The grilled octopus was also excellent. The atmosphere and overall vibe of the place compensated nicely for the lack of alcohol and card payment options. I highly recommend it, and I can’t wait to return with my favorite bottle of wine and explore more of the menu!

I celebrated my 70th birthday last night with my beloved family and dear friends. The food and service were outstanding. The owner personally welcomed each table and took a moment to chat with the guests. When my companions mentioned it was my birthday, the owner came by afterward to wish me a happy birthday and a lovely evening. I can’t wait to return for another meal the next time I’m in Morristown!

I ate here as part of a party of five. The service was phenomenal who operated FOH? Whoever runs FOH is amazing because this place ran like a well-oiled machine. All waiters were incredibly friendly and attentive. Our table, together with each other it seemed, was touched by the owner. They no longer see restaurant owners touching the table, it shows a level of care for their guests that is not usual. The food was amazing. I personally had the Veal Avellino (picture) and it was a nice, reasonably light dinner to eat outside on a cool summer night. My partner had the Cavatelli dish special and I had a bit that the pasta was al dente and great quality. Fried calamari for an appetizer well cooked, not gumy, perfectly seasoned. Dessert we tried a number of options chocolate mouse cake, cheesecake, tiramisu, all reasonable price and delicious. We're just here to visit family, but I want to come back here when we're here in NJ.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. It is my absolute favorite Italian restaurant. The menu has so many great choices, it’s hard to decide what to order. Everything is consistently good. The specials are always excellent as well. The fried calamari is the best around. The meatballs, sausage, homemade cheese ravioli and marinara sauce are better than your Neapolitan grandma makes. The staff is super accommodating and friendly. And if you’re lucky enough to have owner Jack Guerriero serenade you tableside, it will make your evening here complete. BYOB.
