Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Newton

For a Tuesday evening in the summer, Fiorino was really hopping! All the tables were full, and there were many people at the bar. This made for a lively, if noisy, environment. Our waiter was professional and provided excellent service. He quickly asked us about drinks. Our wine was lovely and cool. The appetizers were appetizing - I can particularly note that the stack of marinated eggplant with tomato and mozzarella was delicious. Of our group of 4, three ordered the branzino special, which was served with deliciously creamy mashed potatoes. We all agreed it was an excellent choice. The veal was ordered by the 4th member of our party, who also loved it. The food really was wonderful.

Beautiful dining room, a special place for a special occasion or a date or just any night of the week to go out on the town. The atmosphere is beautiful and very sophisticated. Food was outstanding. Fun story. I worked at this location when it was LC’s Woodhouse back in the mid 80s to early 90s – I was there Chef. The manager gave me a tour of the kitchen, which I thought was really special. I will definitely return!

This restaurant is amazing! The atmosphere, the food & wine, all locally sourced were fantastic. Our Server, Sam, was knowledgeable about everything, including the history of the property. I will definitely return when I am back in the area.

Great food choices and hospitality. Place of comfort and relaxation. A walk around the lake after dinner is great.

A wonderful, relatively small restaurant with excellent cooking. Offers several fish, meat, and vegetarian dishes. All are prepared with creative ingredients and/or sauces. On our latest visit we forgot to ask about the specials and our server forgot to mention them. Make sure you do as they sounded great and a neighboring table sung their praises. Northern NJ is lucky to have this gem of a restaurant.
