    Kenny continues to serve top quality food that is prepared perfectly and does not miss a beat. The complimentary antipasto and fruit and biscotti are a nice touch.

    There are literally 100's of places to get good Italian meals in the Nutley area, but this place is must. The portions are huge and we've NEVER had a bad meal. We've had many different entrees, but the stuffed pork chops and rigatoni with veal meatballs are our favorite dishes. For dessert, don't miss the white chocolate pecan pie, which is served warm with vanilla ice cream. Décor is simple, with a lot of black and white photos of Nutley from the 30's. The service staff is top notch; the bartenders make a nice drink; and the chef often pops out to speak with the diners. Try this one!

    This was our first time and definately not our last. I asked for a dish that was not on the dinner menu - no problem. And it was delicious.

    As always, the food plenteous and very tasty. Service is always extremely attentive. I was disappointed that the complimentary fruit plate had disappeared. We will be back.

    The menu was extensive for a "neighborhood" restaurant. The food was well prepared and the portions were large. The service was efficient and friendly. Many patrons seemed to be regulars and they were treated like family. My guest declined dessert and was given a small beautiful complimentary fruit plate. If I am in the area again I will go back to the American Bistro.

    You would think you were in a New York City restaurant, but you don't have to make the commute over the GW or cross tunnels for an NYC experience. Food is great, the owner Kenny is always there, always cooks and stops to see all his patrons - highly recommend this restaurant!

    We took out three adult children for dinner. The food was all great. The chef even shared the recipe for their delicious sweet potato strata! Service was friendly and attentive. We had a very enjoyable evening at American Bistro! This is a definite keeper!

    Truly a wonderful find. The food was excellent and the portions generous. Usually one does not find the two together. Our waitperson was perfect. Perfect. So rare today.
