I was in town for a football game and we decided to find dinner near our hotel the night before.
Stumbled upon this place and was pleasantly surprised! The food was great quality and the service was on point! The area is cute and walkable too. I would def return

This was my second time eating at this restaurant the food was amazing again! I can eat a bowl of whatever dressing they put on their salad. The staff is always super friendly and they keep the atmosphere lit enough to make the settings intimate yet visible. If you go you have to try the fried ice cream dessert. I will definitely go back!

100/100 !!!! I’ve been coming her for years. Food is amazing, consistent and flavorful. I’m a picky eater and have to say, I haven’t had one bad dish, including dessert. The service is exceptional. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. Such an amazing place to go for dinner; especially for date night or for me Girl’s night. They go above and beyond. Definitely, worth the wait for the food. They serve alcohol, but the restaurant is also BYOB. They also do takeout which is great. Price are reasonable, highly recommend! Almost forgot, you can also rent the space for private events, Birthday’s, baby showers, bridal showers, corporate events and even weddings.

So my friend, Ellen and I just had an amazing amazing dinner at Il Cafone in Lyndhurst. We had two specials and cappuccino dessert drinks. It was amazing. Service was amazing. This is not a place to be missed. The sad part is we were the only ones in the restaurant. Please don’t let this restaurant die. Make a reservation tonight.

Great food at affordable prices. Their chicken parm in pink sauce is the best in NJ. Service is always personable.

Don’t think—just go. Seriously.
Il Cafone Trattoria in Lyndhurst has been with me since childhood, and in all that time I have never, EVER had a bad meal here. They’ve faced adversity, kept the doors open, and never stopped innovating when the odds were stacked against them. That alone deserves respect—but the food? That’s where the love story really begins.
Don’t hold back. Order a second appetizer. Then a second entrée. And for the love of all things delicious, whatever you do, do NOT skip dessert. The fried ice cream is weak-in-the-knees good.
The service? Please. You should be so lucky to be treated like family anywhere else. Every time I walk in, I feel welcomed, cared for, and reminded why this place has such a loyal following.
I love Il Cafone. Don’t walk—run. You won’t regret it.

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!
