“ We went in for a gift card and what warm amazing people! Our friends adore this place and if the food is half as good as the way they treat people it will be out of this world! When you own a business and understand good customer service it goes miles. Thank you! ”
“ The wife and I just eat at this establishment, the wife has spaghetti Bolognese, I had a nice big well prepare and seasoned steak. It was divine nice atmosphere quiet and cozy.Will recommend ”
“ Loved it. We picked up to go which isn't always a good idea. But our steaks were great and the pasta was perfect ”
“ The shrimp farfalle was one of the top 10 best meals I’ve had in my life. The sauce should be jarred and sold! Will, our waiter was a gem. Thank you for a great night! ”
“ Friendly, sat at the bar, Gary was great, attentive and prompt with the next drink. The food was amazing, had the little neck clams in white wine followed by the filet mignon, highly recommend. ”
“ Stop searching, you just found the best spot in town! No joke, we’ve been all over NJ eating at all kinds of great places, but Matta Donna is a HIDDEN GEM! Here’s what ya do: show up and don’t worry about parking, they are definitely busy but there’s plenty of room. Get seated super quick (because fast service of course). Get that perfect beverage, then go straight to the pizza menu and get the goat cheese and caramelized onion, large. Pick the most difficult to pronounce meat topping, add peppers, extra cheese, plus anything else you like. It’s going to be AMAZING. But the special seasoning is the service. The people here treat you like family. They will make sure your meal is perfect, and love to chat. You’ll have an awesome meal all around. Humble opinion: Nobody leaves as a stranger. Best service and dining by far! Only downside: the red headed Irishman running an Italian joint doesn’t serve cannoli! Just kidding Zach, we love you. Update: Came back again a year later JUST TO EAT HERE! this place rocks y’all. All those folks complaining about a price raise, y’all. Relax. It’s a few bucks. If that what it takes for the good service and good food, it’s worth every penny. These same folks complaining over a few bucks would gripe tenfold for bad service, so please relax. ”
“ 12 out 10!!!! Bobby the bartender is amazing!!! Stopped in for an after dinner drink and ordered a White Russian. Not only did Bobby offer to make it in a pint glass he added a little panache to it (Frangelica) but I asked him about deserts and he recommended the carrot cake so I got it! It was amazing!! ”
“ One of our favorite restaurants! The food is always delicious, portions plentiful, great service and a really fun bar. We recently held a large dinner party here and owner Zach was amazing to work with! ”
