Description

Nestled in downtown Tenafly, this intimate, old-world Italian restaurant offers authentic dishes crafted by an Italian-born chef-owner who often greets guests. Expect handmade breads, generous portions, standout veal saltimbocca and seafood risotto, ample vegetarian choices, memorable desserts and an early-night prix-fixe. Friendly, attentive staff and a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere make it ideal for dinners or private events. It’s BYOB with some wines available; service can run slow on busy nights, but the cuisine and hospitality keep diners coming back.

Wonderful continental restaurant in downtown Tenafly. Excellent food, friendly and contemporary service. If the time allowed, Antonio, the owner/chef takes the time to greet you personally, ensures that you are satisfied and that you feel like at home. Early Night Prix Fixe menu several days a week includes a nice selection of appetizers, a wide selection of participants and a selection of several desserts. My favourite is the Veal Saltimbocca, while my wife has often chosen the Seafood Risotto. In our experience, you can not go wrong with what you choose. Since Antonio is one of our favorite restaurants because of the variety and quality of well prepared authentic meals and the friendly atmosphere. It is a BYOB restaurant, with many street parking spaces, and an owner and employee who goes out of their way.

I was with Da Antonio several times. Every time I'm gone, food is getting better! The service is great and the waiters are sweet. Since Antonio has a great ambience along with a fantastic menu. It is family-friendly with a semi-transparent dress code. Parking is easy and the deserts are magnificent. I highly recommend Da Antonio if you have authentic Italian cuisine.

The food is delicious. Really good quality and its BYOB. You have some wines there if you forget. You get 4 stars because the service can sometimes be slow there. I've only seen two people working in front and one third will come from behind to help. But if you are in order with a slower service for an excellent food, then definitely check out this place.

My wife and I have been regular patrons of Zestt for quite some time, and we have always been impressed. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere is inviting, and the owner, Antonio, is truly remarkable. Each visit to Zestt is a delightful experience for us. In fact, we think so highly of it that we recently hosted a party at the restaurant, and I can't express enough how fantastic it was. Antonio and his staff ensured that every guest had a memorable experience—the food, service, and ambiance were all outstanding. Whether you're going for dinner or hosting an event, Zestt is a fantastic choice. I wholeheartedly recommend this amazing restaurant to everyone.

I had a fantastic dining experience with truly authentic Italian cuisine. This is not the typical American-Italian food; it’s an experience you would find in Italy. The chef is originally from Italy and personally comes out to chat with guests. I highly recommend it!
