Since 1990, Chef Seger's use of unique ingredients, homemade pastas, and innovative specials has created a loyal following. His modern flair mixed with traditional culinary skills has created a whirlwind of praise. You will not see seafood options on the regular menu for one reason; All our Seafood is wild not farm raised and we carry ONLY what is available and offer them as our daily specials. General Manager Stephanie VoulgarisFloor Manager Henry CalderonSommelier Stephanie VoulgarisLuNello has gone right to the source when purchasing ingredients and each dish reflects the attention placed into its preparation. All our meats in our menu have grown and purchased from meat purveyors that there is no use of antibiotics or hormones.

• Pizzeria • Montclair

At Bivio our passion is authentic Neapolitan pizza. Napoli... our love of the city, its cuisine, and in particular, its pizza is where our story began. We heard time and time again “It’s all about the dough.” True to Neapolitan tradition, and the passion of the pizzaioli, we construct our pizza using “00” flour from Naples, San Marzano DOP tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, fior di latte or bufala mozzarella, and sea salt. Our dough is gently mixed using a 28 year old “lieveto madre” (natural yeast culture) then with intense heat is baked in our wood burning il forno. At Bivio all of our dishes are made with the freshest and highest quality ingredients.

    Started with beets/pistachio appetizer, delicious. The filet mignon kabob was cooked to perfection and the tiramisu was amazing. Decent portions for lunch. It was the right amount of sweet and savory experience. Staff was friendly and professional. The restaurant as a whole was very clean including the bathroom which is a huge plus. . Definitely recommending to friends and family.

    Had a wonderful dining experience at Elia! The food was absolutely delicious—we ordered the sea bass, and it was cooked to perfection with amazing flavors. The ambiance was inviting, and the service was attentive. A special shoutout to the bartender, Alex, who was super nice and made the experience even better. Plus, DJ Andreas played great music, adding to the lively atmosphere. Highly recommend for a great meal, excellent hospitality, and great vibes!

    Spuntino was easy to find and had ample parking. The lunch menu offered multiple options. Everyone celebrating my daughter’s special occasion found something to their liking and cleared their plates. Some ordered from the small plates menu, others ordered from family style shared platters and the rest from the pick 2 for $15. Portions were full lunch size and delicious. The main dining room is festive for a celebration and noise level was very low. Service was attentive and not intrusive. We plan to return.
