Matta Donna,

304 Myrtle Avenue, Boonton, NJ 07005

"My partner and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. Based off of all the raving reviews we were so excited! The waitress was super nice and the atmosphere was great. However, we were a little disappointed with dinner. For the appetizers we had the bruschetta and fried mozzarella wedges. The Bruschetta was nothing special. The fried mozzarella wedges were a bit too greasy for my partners and I’s liking. Our entrees, my partner got the Baked Penne and I got their skirt steak special. The penne was flavorful but the sauce was a bit too watery for our liking. My steak was great and made to order but the sauce for me was over powering with the wine taste. For dessert we got a cheesecake and carrot cake. The cheesecake was great except there was a bit too much sour cream for my liking. My partner got the carrot cake and was disappointed since it was hard as a rock. We spent with tip between $120-$150. Regardless of the dinner the service was top notch."

"Excellent food. Specials were all unique and fantastic. Attentive wait staff and atmosphere. Teriyaki calamari was a strike of brilliance! Good wines and atmosphere for a cozy Italian night out."

"Great place for a nice Italian dinner. Have been going a decade+ with my family and friends. Really enjoy sitting at the bar and getting well poured drinks and excellent bar pies. This fam owned restaurant really makes you feel at home. Def check it out!"

"Great place to stop on our way through. Easy access to the Highway, friendly staff, good wine."

"Stop searching, you just found the best spot in town! No joke, we’ve been all over NJ eating at all kinds of great places, but Matta Donna is a HIDDEN GEM! Here’s what ya do: show up and don’t worry about parking, they are definitely busy but there’s plenty of room. Get seated super quick (because fast service of course). Get that perfect beverage, then go straight to the pizza menu and get the goat cheese and caramelized onion, large. Pick the most difficult to pronounce meat topping, add peppers, extra cheese, plus anything else you like. It’s going to be AMAZING. But the special seasoning is the service. The people here treat you like family. They will make sure your meal is perfect, and love to chat. You’ll have an awesome meal all around. Humble opinion: Nobody leaves as a stranger. Best service and dining by far! Only downside: the red headed Irishman running an Italian joint doesn’t serve cannoli! Just kidding Zach, we love you. Update: Came back again a year later JUST TO EAT HERE! this place rocks y’all. All those folks complaining about a price raise, y’all. Relax. It’s a few bucks. If that what it takes for the good service and good food, it’s worth every penny. These same folks complaining over a few bucks would gripe tenfold for bad service, so please relax."
