   Having been to Fascino several times we returned with friends for dinner. It was so disappointing. The appetizers were tasteless. arancini was so hard you could hardly cut them and lacked any flavor. The meatball , although tender, was not seasoned at all. The main course of fish, was fine, but the eggplant Parmigiana, again, lacked taste. It was almost like the chef failed to even use salt..Ryan was not in the kitchen last night so perhaps that had something to do with it. The last two disappointments were the delivery of ice….I had asked for a bucket of ice which was delivered in a plastic container like you would use when getting take out! and as soon as we sat down at 7Pm, were told the Foccacia was not available so therefore no bread. Who runs out of an appetizer by 7 ?

   Food was excellent. Only comment would be the linguini with clam sauce was bland. Felt like I was just eating plan spaghetti. The rest of the food was dynamite, including the tiramisu and zeppoli desserts !

   Rosie’s Rustica for the month of January is great! Food is warm, comforting and delicious! The rice ball appetizer, lasagna entree and linguini and clams were delectable as were the biscotti and zeppoli desserts. George, our server, is an exceptional asset to Fascino’s staff. He should be commended for going above and beyond with us! See you soon, Fascino!

   Service was good the establishment was nicely decorated well placed not over crowded,but the food wasn’t as good the creativity of the chef was a bit absurd lasagna is supposed to be layered not whatever that was, rolled burnt pasta while mushy on the bottom side,separated from the sauce and ricotta, pure laziness is what I can call it, if you have dead tastebuds and love over season food try the calamari, seemed like bar food at best. I am sure the chef can do better than that

   Fascino currently has a spin on their menu. Comfort authentic Italian food. Food was delicious! Wagyu beef meatballs and Arancini are a must! Pasta was definitely made in-house. Quiet atmosphere, even with a full house of people.

    As someone who has been spoiled with traditional Italian cooking from family, I usually avoid Italian restaurants like the plague. After all who can live up to grandmas meatballs? This place. This may have been the best Italian food I have had out. We went while they had their pop up Rosie’s Rustico and it was a very neat concept. Highly recommend!

    Do not get the buzz and acclaims for this place. We, after a so-so prior meal here, decided to give it another try with their new pop-up Grandma recipe menu. Very disappointing! Clams oreganata were awful, heavily topped with pesto crumbs that overpowered the clams. We scrapped it off in order to enjoy the clams. The grilled romaine wedge was barely grilled and rather bland. My skirt steak was ok but my wife’s eggplant parmigiana had mediocre sauce, almost tasted like from a jar. Neither of our mains were served hot. Italian Grandmas I know would be shocked by this meal. Food quality is fresh just poorly prepared and price point is too high for the dishes we had. Won’t be giving this a third try. Many better dining options in Montclair.

    For the month of January Fascino is Rosie's Rustico, at tribute to Chef Ryan's maternal grandmother. They are serving traditional Italian fare and it is spectacular! We came with friends who were equally impressed with the new menu items. We started with the grilled Romaine Wedge and Isolate Di Mare (seafood salad to die for). For entrees we enjoyed the Lasagna Rotolo, Branzino Livornese, Pei Mussels and the Shrimp Piccata. Dessert was the morellos cherry compote and limoncello gelato. Everything was delicious. The fact that the entire Depersio family was on hand to make ensure the evening went smoothly was a very nice touch. While we very much enjoy Fascino’s usual fare, this evening was a real treat. We are already planning to return next week to try some of the other traditional dishes.

    Booths at tables were ripped / cracked (old and in desperate need of repair / replacement). Signature polenta fries were not available for 6p reservation (“just sold out”). Long waits between courses. Pork chop was ordered medium but came out raw and waiter “forgot” to remove from check. We are frequent guests and have even hosted parties at Fascino, but this last visit was extremely disappointing.

    This was our favorite place for many years. Because of some issues we decided not to go anymore some months back. This visit was because of a gift card we received and confirmed our decision. Service was friendly and the ambiance is quiet good. The quality of the food is not where it used to be before covid. The bread and olive oil they used to serve is a $9 !! appetizer now. The grilled calamari was not tasty and not tender. The $19 sea bass crudo appetizer delicious but the portion microscopic. Our main dishes were ok but nothing special. Rib eye special sounded great but luckily I asked about the price which was $65. Overall the food quality and portions do not live up to the prices here anymore.
