Trattoria Il Cafone

100/100 !!!! I've been coming her for years. Food is amazing, consistent and flavorful. The service is exceptional. After 2020, they've been short staffed as 90% of business are; so service has been a little slow. But it's not do to negligence, they go above and beyond. Definitely, worth the wait for the food. The atmosphere is so warm and cozy. Such an amazing place to go for dinner; especially for date night or for me Girl's night. They serve alcohol, but it's also BYOB. Price are reasonable, Highly recommend!

The best food you'll ever have!! I've been going here for many years and each time I come it's amazing as always. Nothing will ever be such an incredible restaurant as this!

I loved the atmosphere, service and food tasted really good !!! The only think I wasn’t expecting was the huge dish with too much food for one person !!! I recommend the restaurant but if you don’t eat that much ask about the dish portions !!

An amazing restaurant that consistently delivers on taste, hospitality, and service. My nephew had his engagement party and the food was amazing! We were offered a choice of chicken parmigiana, pork stuffed with prosciutto and mozzarella in a madeira sauce, and chicken franchese. Each of them were amazing and the house salad dressing was one of the tastiest I’ve ever had. The staff was so attentive and made sure the night was one to remember. Thank you again to the entire staff! We will definitely be back!!!

10 out of 10!!!

Definitely a gem!!!
We party of 5 recommend for any occasion.
From the appetizers to the entrées every bite mouth watering enticing you to continue consuming. Good old fashion service. No rushing, extremely attentive and physical menus. The ambiance warm with excellent choice of music and at the right loudness. What a vibe! Truly felt transported between atmosphere, food and
service! Thank you for a most excellent evening!!!!

100% loved this place!

And the atmosphere was so nice!

It is a hidden gem...
Tucked away in a little strip of stores on Ridge Road in Lyndhurst but well worth it, find it, you will be glad you did!

Love this place. Food is fantastic. Try the Chicken Parm and fried ice cream. Amazing, you won’t regret it!

I love it here food is always great-burrata special was phenomenal & I absolutely love their white sangria

We stopped here for a quick dinner on a Thursday night. There is parking in the back but also street parking in front of the restaurant. That was my worry coming here but it worked out great.

The place is quiet and intimate, great for a date night. I ordered the Pappardelle Al Telefono and it was yummy!

Reliable, friendly neighborhood restaurant. Always our go to place for any family meal.

I have never been here prior to hosting my end of the season dinner for my Varsity Swimming team. Juan was so accommodating from start to finish. I had a total of 30 students for this dinner. Trattoria ll Cafone is so cute inside and they have parking in the back which is a great plus. We had a 4 course meal. They even gave the students options for dinner to choose from. Every course was delicious and I cannot wait to come back for dinner! I also have to add the service was amazing and everything came out in a timely manner. They even noticed that the swimmers brought me flowers and the server brought over a vase with water for them. It is hard to find a place where the servers pay attention to details and Trattoria ll did. I already told Juan this will be our annual Swim dinner place! Thank you for making this party an easy one to host!!

Wonderful service and great selections from the menu. Me and my girlfriend are regular customers because the food is so good 👍. Highly recommend

This place exceeded expectations, and if you're looking for delicious Italian food, please consider coming here. The menu is hearty with homemade pastas, meat based entrees, and specials. The service was incredible, attentive but not overbearing. Juan offered answers to questions and was patient with our orders. The food was delicious. We had a nice mix of homemade pastas and sauces, I had the lamb chop special with a side of linguine in vodka sauce, and my mother in law got the gnocchi special, which was, as described, melt-in-your-mouth. Prices were reasonable, portions were large, and after a bottle of wine for the table, we stuck around to try the desserts specifically the apple tart and tiramisu. Both were flavorful, and had lovely textures, including a wonderful lamination on the pastry. I suspect this pastry was also homemade. It was a lovely night. Juan, our server was incredible, and we can't wait to be back. Perfect for romantic dinners, family occasions, or just enjoying lovely food. Needleß to say, we'll be back soon.

The food was so good as well the staff was so warm and attentive the atmosphere is lovely for a business lunch or a small get together truly enjoyed my time with my sisters such a special place we will book again in the future.

My family and I just booked a party here and tried the menu beforehand. All the food was delicious from the salad to the dessert and we were helped by Juan who was wonderful and very accommodating. We look forward to our party and we’re very excited!! Thank you to Il Cafone and Juan for helping us out so much tonight.

Love the food and service, visiting there for many years. Great job the Il Cafone team!

Just went here for a holiday party. The service was great. Everyone tore up their fresh garlic bread. It was amazing. Their house salad had the best dressing I’ve probably ever tried in my life. I literally want to go back to buy their dressing. And I ordered the pork loin. It came out perfectly crisp and delicious. I enjoy cabbage, but did not care for their purple cabbage side. I think they should replace that with a different vegetable.

Have been going here for over 11 years and they never disappoint. Went last night for Valentines Day for the gnocchi w crab meat, shrimp, calamari, sun dried tomatoes in vodka sauce. Just amazing as always. Would highly recommend this location for a quick bite or a complete dinner.

I had a great experience, the food was excellent and with many options to choose from. The service was great, thanks to Juan for making our experience so pleasant. Super recommend 👌

By far our favorite place in the area. Everything is delicious, and the portions are huge- but can't beat the chicken parm.
Always a great time.
