AH’ PIZZ IS NOT your average pizza restaurant. Opened in 2010, its authentic Neapolitan pizza, with fresh mozzarella made daily and imported Italian ingredients baked at 1,000 degrees for 90 seconds in a wood-fired stone oven, was an immediate hit. A second restaurant soon opened with Executive Chef Greg Lampariello joining to create distinctive dishes such as the popular Calamari Balsamico, plus other family-friendly and late-night dining favorites. Ah’ Pizz dishes are all made to order and special requests are encouraged. Look for a third Ah’ Pizz location coming soon!

IL CAPRICCIO, the quintessential Italian restaurant for fine dining in Northern New Jersey, has been a destination for over 30 years. Owners Tony and Clara Grande, have served loyal patrons authentic Italian fare and the restaurant has won numerous prestigious awards for cuisine and service, including Best Italian Restaurant many times over. Chef Tony, trained in his native Italy at Rome’s renowned ENALC, continued training in Europe before arriving in the U.S. in 1973. The Grande’s first restaurant evolved into Il Capriccio and today, the couple’s second generation has joined in their venture, combining talents to bring the finest, freshest ingredients, many from Tony’s own farm, to each table.
