I stopped into this restaurant for dinner. When I arrived I parked in the street a tad distant. When I walked in the place looked so Italian! I was greeted and served by Daniel and he was nice! I ordered:
Octopus with side salad
Pappardelle with Short Rib
Chicken Marsala with vegetables
Affogato
The food was delicious! The Pappardelle was my favorite! It was flavorful! All in all a great experience!

Chef Sam is great!! His food is always delicious, the best octopus, chicken francese and chicken parm is fantastic!!! I’ve recommended this restaurant to all my family and friends and everyone loves it. 16/10 stars if I could, I’ll always recommend Pavesi’s!

We went to Pavesi for a second time because we enjoyed the first time experience here after. What we experienced the first time was not consistent with our second time visit. Firstly, the portions were much smaller than we remembered it. Salad was small and we didn’t feel the dish equated to the price we paid for it. Secondly, the quality was poor this time around. The potatoes tasted like it came from a box. My vongole dish was full of empty clam shells. I dug into the dish and only found 50% of what I expected floating in the watered-down sauce. Thirdly, the service was lacking. The server kept forgetting our requests (no onion, black cracked pepper, no fresh parmesan, didn’t refill water, forgot pen with receipt etc) and to top it off, servers kept dropping plates and cutlery making loud clanks by the kitchen door where we sat (butterfingers!). It ruined an otherwise, nice ambiance with live music. Finally, when we decided to complain about the quality of food, the owner comes and sits over at our table. With a condescending tone, he asks if I’ve ever made clam dishes. “I can give you a dozen clams right now to replace that. If you have ever boiled clams you know that they fall out of the shells”. I’m convinced that i was given a lot of empty shells. Only found 50% of the clams that should have been on my plate and I counted them. When we complained about the mashed potatoes, the chef came out and invited us to go into the kitchen to see that they use “real potatoes”. Then he proceeded to offer a hand-made cheesecake, apologized and stated that “customers are always right”. He tried to smooth things over and change our experience but with the owner’s tone we were turned off. We like to support local businesses and we want to remain supportive of this restaurant but we were both pretty turned off my the experience. If it was just a server or a chef, we could have been more tolerant but from the owner to treat a customer this way, was not acceptable.

My new favorite spot in Morristown. As soon as we walked in, the owner made us feel like family and I could tell the other people sitting down felt the same way. Authentic vibe, the food was incredible and my family and I felt like we were back in Italy again. Morristown gem.

The food was absolutely delicious! Chef Sam works wonders in the kitchen. From the apps to the meals to dessert, everything was finger licking good. The hospitality at this restaurant was great too, we had two toddlers in our group and the staff was so attentive towards them. 10/10 recommend the chicken parm with vodka sauce!

Very solid experience. The mussels alla Moe were delicious. The veal Pavesi was excellent and the service impeccable. Great outdoor dining with a musician. Great BYOB

Chef Sam is the absolute best! last week i tried the penne vodka and the lasagna. These dishes were outstanding! If you have the chance to meet the chef himself, take the opportunity! He is a pleasure to chat with and super knowledgeable. Thank you Chef Sam!

Very fast service and comforting food. Loved the ambiance. They have BYOB, which is excellent for wine lovers who like Italian food. I loved their gnocchi in red sauce, however white sauce in Primavera could have been better. Overall we had a wonderful time there!

I enjoyed Pavesi, we went for a private engagement party event. The food was good, standard Italian food done well. However, the wait staff did not manage the table well. They didn’t know who ordered what and were constantly asking “who ordered (this)?” I would eat here again if I was nearby.

Loved the food, atmosphere, dining experience, as well as the live singer outside. I got the buratta special appetizer and pesto gnocchi. Chef was wonderful and came out and asked how the meal was and had a pleasant conversation. Waitress was wonderful and checked in frequently to make sure all was okay. The only con was the hostess. I walked in for a party of 1 and she told me there were no available tables for just myself and if I had a reservation. I told her I did not feel like I needed one since there was plenty of availability when checking the OpenTable app. I made one in front of her but she told me to come back in an hour due to no availability but I came back in 30 minutes with plenty of open 2 tops and was seated right away. Overall would recommend but I would probably try to have a reservation prior to avoid any difficulty.
