Settebello Il Cafe - Just
off "the green" in Morristown is a second floor cafe that
I've been wanting to try called Settebello. Upon entering, my
group was impressed with the cozy atmosphere and immediate
greeting. The restaurant was
warm and comfortable and the service friendly and very competent.
The food, however, did not match the service and rose only to the
level of "just okay." It's a little disappointing to
have a meal where the service exceeds the the quality of the food
and I'd rather be talking about how great it was rather than how
great it could have been. Settebello has an appealing North Jersey
location and first-rate wait staff, but it needs a better menu and a
better chef. The food in general is mediocre but a couple of
dishes did stand out as being much better than the others such as the pasta
primavera with sun-dried tomatoes entree and a mushroom over garlic bread
appetizer.
Settebello is a restaurant that if properly fine tuned could easily
rise to the very top of pleasant dining experiences in Morris
County. -

Calandra's Mediterranean Grill - If you are from Northern
New New Jersey chances are you have heard of and enjoy Calandra's
bakery products. When I heard they had a restaurant, I just
had to check it out for lunch. It was superior. It's always
a pleasure to enjoy service as good as the food. After sitting
down for lunch the waiter broke out some fresh cheese then covered
it in olive oil and spices to dip warm Calandra Italian bread in
while waiting for lunch. Calandra's features their bread (no
surprise) which was expectedly fresh but to my delight everything
was fresh. I ordered your basic chicken sandwich but there was
nothing basic about what arrived. Your basic chicken sandwich
is seldom memorable but this one was. Two
pieces of Calandra's Paninni bread with a fresh chicken breast,
bacon and fresh tomato with basil makes a great lunch. The
portion was large and it was served with some tasty round, fried
potato slices. When and If I use the word superior in any of
my reviews you can be sure at the very least that it's worth the
time and money to check out. Calandra's was superior from
every aspect and a place that I highly recommend.
As with any restaurant visit, it's your opinion that matters most and
if I were a betting man, I would bet you will just fall in love with
Calandra's Mediterranean Grill. -
