This lovely Italian restaurant was a delight in so many ways. The service was good, the wine excellent, the ambiance spot on. We had dinner for five; I reveled in the salmon; stuffed with shrimp and crab and a cream sauce. Even the fingerling potatoes...Read More

Every single dish is perfectly composed, and they readily accommodate all food allergies!! We loved the calamari, meatballs, and burrito apps - plus the delicious seasonal specials: the pork chop and Pavlova (pictured). Highly recommend the Elderflower Martini as well. This is a 10/10 with...Read More

The menu is not huge, which I personally appreciate! The fresh bread, antipasto (crispy brussels), and main courses were fantastic. Meals were pricey, but the quality made it worth it, in my opinion. We considered dessert but were too full from dinner.

We went to Trattoria da Lepri for the first time Saturday night and LOVED it. The calamari app wasn't prepared like we're used to but it was delicious!! Light and lemony. The salmon special was perfectly cooked, including the veggies - brussel sprouts and sweet...Read More

An excellent restaurant that's unassuming from the outside. Four of us on a Saturday night with a 7:30 reservation. Cocktails were good and house made bread was great, served with garlic oil. First course was Deb's Meatballs as well as the house made mozzarella and tomatoes(special), that were said to be grown on site. Both were excellent. Meatballs were tender, but light, with a rustic tomato sauce that was complex but balanced. The tomato and mozz was beautifully presented, large rough chop on the tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, very fresh mozz, perfect consistency with just the right amount of balsamic, garnished with enough bitter greens to balance each bite. Entrees: Pan Seared Halibut, Balsamic Braised Short Rib. Halibut(my fav fish): perfectly composed, bright citrus, creamy richness, umami from the sucotash with a salty finish from the bacon. Fish was just slightly overcooked for me, but that may be a matter of preference. Short Rib: perfect, classic with a twist. Melt in your mouth, perfectly caramelized with just the right amount of acid from the balsamic, on a bed of veg and mash that were flawless. Other couple got the Shrimp Oreganata and Rigatoni Bolognese, which were said to both be icredibly delicious. Dessert: house made cannoli as well as the apple tart Ala mode (special). Cannoli was bad, a great attempt but a flop. The shell was excellent, light & crisp. The filling was the downfall, the ricotta should've been drier and sweeter, it was overly wet and borderline salty, but garnished nicely with chopped pistachio(not the reason the filling was salty) and chocolate chips. The apple tart was excellent, flaky crust, the texture/flavor of the apple was perfect with a side car of j.foster vanilla ice cream, you can do no better. The waitress knew how to do her job well, but didn't engage beyond the bare minimum. Overall, this restaurant is well beyond par for the area. I would stack it up against any high end restaurant in the tri state area. I will be back, often.
