Fascino never disappointed. We loved it. Now the space is occupied by Gioia Mia run by Mary Cumella and Executive Chef Logan Ramirez. Although a new menu and different from Fascino it maintains the high quality food and service we have always experienced. Try the creative new menu items, enjoy the casual upscale vibe and let your senses be delighted. Their new venture Lulu's food truck is also quite good and a welcom... View all feedback.
What vera vagts doesn't like about Gioia Mia:
For the price you are paying, the service and ambience and music choice could be more elevated. Had to wait ten minutes to even be able to ASK for water at the table. Food was amazing but I’m not sure why they had one server working. There were five tables and she was the only one on the floor so I don’t blame her, I know how busy it gets.

Nice plating and presentation. Dishes didn't wow me, though. The crab risotto was just okay, if a bit underwhelming. The jus of the duck triangoli was quite salty and overpowering.

The dressed oysters, with what was essentially frozen lemon ice on top, overpowered the salty brine of the oysters. It was also uncomfortably hot inside. I overhead many guests mentioning it to themselves, and my girlfriend and I were both sweating. Menu has adventurous ideas but overall didn't land for me.
The quality of a Michelin Star restaurant in the heart of Montclair. Very attentive and friendly waitstaff, cozy and warm atmosphere, and delicious food! Perfect place for a romantic date night or a family celebration. We ordered a few things from each section of the menu and it was all fresh and presented elegantly. We will definitely be going back!!
I was standing outside reading the menu here when some guy walked out and gave me the look then told me how great the food was here. He was so enthusiastic about the food here I just had to try it and I was not disappointed! I ordered 5 different dishes here and was treated to something I can only say was a culinary experience. All the food here was great and I 'd highly recommend coming here.
Fantastic is how I would sum it up. The food, especially the oysters, was amazing. Everything was fresh, plates were the right size and service was delightful. A new discovery for us and we will definitely come back and recommend to others.
Terrific Italian restaurant that I highly recommend! Everything is amazing here.
