My wife and I have been regular diners at Zestt for quite a while. The food is outstanding, the ambience is great and the owner, Antonio, is extraordinary. We always greatly enjoy our visits to Zestt. We consider it to be so good that we recently hosted a party in the restaurant. I cannot say enough superlatives about how wonderful the party was. Antonio and staff made sure that all the guests had an unforgettable experience………….the food, the service and atmosphere were very special. Great for a dinner or a party. I do not hesitate to highly recommend this wonderful restaurant to anyone.

The food is delicious. Really great quality and its BYOB. They do have some wines there in case you forget. They are getting 4 stars because the service can be slow there at times. I’ve only seen 2 people working in the front and a third will come from the back to help. But if you’re okay with some slower service for some excellent food, then definitely check this place out.

Wonderful continental restaurant in downtown Tenafly. Excellent food, friendly and timely service. When time permits, Antonio, the owner/chef takes the time to personally greet you, makes sure you are satisfied, and that you feel at home.
Early evening Prix Fixe menu several days a week includes a nice choice of appetizers, a wide choice of entrees, and a choice of several desserts. My favorite is the Veal Saltimbocca, while my wife has often opted for the Seafood Risotto. In our experience, you can’t go wrong with whatever you choose.
Da Antonio is one of our favorite restaurants because of the wide variety and quality of well-prepared authentic meals, and the friendly atmosphere. It’s a BYOB restaurant, with plenty of street parking, and an owner and staff that goes out of their way to please.

A very nice place. The food is really excellent, the staff are friendly and open, and the environment is upscale. It’s a gem – perfect for dinner and a movie, or dining outside on a nice evening. Really an asset to the town center there in Tenafly. Highly recommend. BYO, with a couple of great wine stores 2-3 minutes away on foot.

Our first visit to this new restaurant was very pleasant.A warm greeting from the waiter who is the owner’s son.We came in for the early bird special.Our meals were delicious.The owner came out to say hello and welcome us.He then sent a little extra and on to our dessert and coffee. We will definitely return and tell our friends about this new wonderful restaurant.BTW .This is a BYOB.but they have an agreement with a winery so you can purchase a bottle at a very fair price at the restaurant..

Da Antonio, an Italian restaurant in Tenafly, took over the space that was Zesst. I was really looking forward to eating here, because the reviews were very positive. We thought the food was okay, but the service was wonderful… accommodating…friendly. I ordered spaghetti with garlic and oil. Unfortunately, I could not taste the garlic. I sent it back to have more garlic added. It came back tasting the same way. Return trip here will not happen. BYOB.

Da Antonio is a cute restaurant. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great. As a vegetarian I was worried if they would have options, and to my surprise they do! The food is tasty and authentic. If you’re ever around the area I recommend you go and give it a try!

Great dining experience and authentic Italian cuisine. It is not an American style Italian food, but what you would experience in Italy. Chef is right over from Italy and comes out to speak with his guests. Highly recommend.

My time at Da Antonio was amazing from beginning to end.
The staff was kind and welcoming and they were able to quickly and efficiently answer any questions I had about the menu.
For appetizers I ordered the bruschetta and fried calamari. The bruschetta was fresh and the calamari were light and paired well with the homemade marinara sauce.
For the main course I ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was delicious. The chicken was cooked to perfection and maintained it’s crispy texture underneath the layer of sauce and fresh mozzarella.
The evening was capped off with a Pastiera alla napoletana that was warm and fluffy.
Da Antonio provided a great Italian dining experience and I can’t wait to go back.
