    We haven’t been to Da Nico in awhile. I was very surprised it was crowded on a Saturday night at 6pm. The bread wasn’t to good and the meal was skimpy. I ordered Bronzino and the portion was very small. I only got 2 small stokes of broccoli and 3 spear roast potatoes not even a whole potato. . I told the waiter we didn’t want to be rushed. .We had a reservation at 6 and was finished by 645 on a Saturday night. I may go back if I’m not hungry and I’m in a hurry.

    Great vibe and delicious food. New Year's Eve was our first time at Da Nico. The Caesar salad, skirt steak, and chicken with figs in balsamic reduction were amazing. The service was attentive. All 4 of our children ranging from 8 to 14 enjoyed the meal without complaint and that speaks volumes! We will definitely be back.

    Lovely restaurant slightly off the busy avenue. Best Bronzino I have had in a while. Tasted like I was back in Italy! Portions are generous and service friendly. Highly recommend it for pre-theater dining.

    We always have a wonderful evening at DaNico. Food was very good as always except for the Brandzino which was nicely seasoned but a bit dry. All in all another lovely evening there.

    Went to have our anniversary dinner there and it was very disappointing. After 1 1/2 hour wait for dinner, we had to leave without eating to make our 7 pm show at Paper Mill. Service was exceptionally slow. Never saw a manager. No one ever apologized or offered to take our check for salads/soda. We were told they were tied up with a big party. People inside were waiting forever for dinners. It's a shame because it's a lovely, little place and we were so looking forward to the homemade pasta as advertised. There's also no alcohol service, which we didn't know, so we didn't bring a bottle. They did offer to call a local store to have it delivered.

    Slow service post-Christmas. No black linguine, so regular linguine would have been fine. Then they didn't have regular linguine. How about spaghetti. Okay. Sorry the crab meat portion of that dish is not available, so how about salmon with clams? Sure. So I finally got Mussels with salmon, shrimp and spaghetti instead of Black linguine with crab meat, shrimp and clams. I think the bread may have been from Christmas Eve. Probably, won't go back. Too many other choices in Millburn. The four others in the group said it was okay. Not bad, not great, just okay.

    Nice Restaurant in walking distance to the Papermill Playhouse. The food was good, portions are small for the price. I had the special for that evening, rabbit in a tasty light sauce over pasta.

    Appetizer advertised buffalo mozzarella, it was not. The original portion was so small we had to send it back, they brought a larger one finally. I asked for garlic bread, I got sliced, toasted bread. The main dishes were good, portions ok, but even though they have gluten free pasta, they have nothing gluten free to add to it. It was disappointing to say the least.
