Cerreto's Old World

Restaurant: Cerreto's Old World
Food Type: Italian
Alcohol: Bring your own
Dress: Casual
Location: 350 Passaic Avenue, Nutley NJ
Visited: Nov 2007

Would I return? Perhaps.

Food: The food was good but unremarkable for an Italian Restaurant.

Service: The waiters were attentive, but they were young and inexperienced...looked like high school age, so mistakes were made. But they were happy to correct problems and get things right. Overall the service was ok.

Atmosphere: The atmosphere is very casual and family oriented. It's a neighborhood Italian Restaurant. I would come here if I wanted a quick, decent Italian meal, but wouldn't come here for a nice night out or for a date. It's a little too casual and the food a little too ordinary for those occassions.

Ridge Thai

Restaurant: Ridge Thai
Food Type: Thai
Alcohol: No
Dress: Casual
Location: 50 Chestnut Street, Ridgewood NJ
Visited: Nov 2007

Would I return? Yes! This will be my staple Thai restaurant for the foreseeable future.

Food: The food was excellent. I'm not terribly adventurous when it comes to Thai food so I ordered my standard Pad Thai....and it was the best Pad Thai I've had in a long time. The Thai Iced Tea is really good too!

Service: The service was good. Prompt and attentive. We were not rushed.

Atmosphere: This restaurant is quite small and quaint. The decor is attractive. Despite the fact that there are only about a dozen tables, we were still seated promptly on a Saturday night. A pleasant Surprise given the good quality of the food.
