Focacceria Ristorante,

"Never had a bad meal here over several years. A truly reliable BYO with delicious Italian fare and outdoor seating in warmer weather. The specials are truly excellent and not wallet shredders. There are vegetarian options in all courses and often among specials (potato leek soup or sweet potato ravioli for example). Indoors seating is tight given it’s an old colonial home serving the restaurant. It’s tight in the vestibule and the stairs but not uncomfortable once you’re seated. The environs are basic, and won’t garner any wows. That job is left to the food. The service is excellent, with very attentive waiters and bus crew. They don’t rush you though, as sometimes attentive staff might tend to do. What gets to you is the noise level. If you have the misfortune of being seated near or next to a loud group, as happened to us yesterday, just enjoy the wine and the (neighbors’) conversation. There’s really no noise mitigation in the dining rooms - acoustic tile, wall coverings, or carpeting (which I know can get icky, so maybe better off without). Even on the outdoor patio, the newly installed speakers can be loud at times, competing with already loud guests. Still a totally worthwhile visit. The food is that good."

"Solid Italian cuisine in Liberty Corner. Great service and an eclectic menu choices."

"Went to this place during mother’s day brunch. Our parents loved it. We had so much fun and food was very delicious. Servers were very nice and helpful. They were patience throughout the time we placed an order. They were good with recommending some veggie options. Love their dessert and food. Surely recommend this place to try. I am not a big italian food fan but this place I would not mind to try again."

"One of the best Italian dinners I’ve had in quite a while. The owners were gracious and made my fiancé and I feel like we were right at home. The food was incredible, I highly recommend the Thai chili calamari for an appetizer and the rigatoni for an entree! Looking forward to going back soon!"

"We had a private event upstairs and it was amazing. There was a lot of parking and it was easy to find. The restaurant is cozy BYOB and there is plenty of room. All of the food was exquisite. Perfectly prepared to how we asked. The knowledgeable staff helped us narrow down our choices from the wide array of choices. Everything was clean and well organized and we look forward to many more meals there!"
