Our party of 6 were all very happy with the apps and mains. Nice creative dishes. Beyond salads the menu doesn’t factor much in GF options and could benefit from more fish. Still worth the visit!

We ate dinners at DiNicco’a for Mother’s Day. Our first try, and it was amazing. Food and service were excellent. Calamari was cooked perfectly. Portions were huge, everyone had leftovers aside from myself. I had the scallops with risotto, it was exceptional and just the right amount for me. We will definitely be back!

We ordered the mushroom pizza, salmon special, pasta bolognese, ricotta toast. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was on top of everything from the start and came over to check on us several times. Overall, a great experience. We will definitely be back!

The owner introduced himself and was very cordial. The staff is extremely accommodating. they described a delicious salmon special that evening and it was my friends number one choice. Unfortunately they were out of it prior to our order. So that was disappointing. I ordered the gluten free eggplant lasagna that fell quite short of my expectations. However, I do intend to return as I am a huge fan of BYOB restaurants that are open on Mondays.

There were 10 of us out to dinner which I’m sure made the noise level in the restaurant a little louder for which I apologize. The service was fantastic. The menu was a feast for the imagination and although small, it was hard to choose because everything sounded delicious. The table started with a few of their pizzas, truffle mushroom pizza was excellent. For my main dish, I settled on the seared scallops with Gnudi. Gnudi is a type of pasta which was new to me. It was ok, found it to be a little bland but the scallops were the star of the dish. My better half had rigatoni alla vodka which was good but not great. Did I mention the fantastic service? Our 7PM reservation was the last table in the restaurant and we never felt rushed. Overall a great new BYOB for Denville’s center of town. Looking forward to my next visit.
