Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Short Hills

Diego was an amazing host and server! Warm, welcoming and attentive. The lady was also very kind - she’s blonde and I think she’s Brazilian but I didn’t get her name :) very good vibes all around and one of my favorite places in the city.

I rarely use the word outstanding to describe food but I used it several times throughout the night. The menu and specials selections are vast. Our wait staff was attentive and we never wanted for anything. We shared a citrus fennel salad and I had the linguini with scungili made spicy by the addition of Calabrian chili peppers. This was one of the most delicious pasta dishes I’ve ever had. My boyfriend had the double cut pork chop and vegetables and that was also outstanding. We shared a bottle of very good (and reasonably priced wine) and also shared the sorbet special with berries. We will 100% return.

Dana took great care of us all throughout our meal. The toasted almond crunch cake was delicious!

This may be our new favorite restaurant. The food was delicious and the service could not have been better. The fresh paparadelle and mushrooms was amazing , as was the caccio e Pepe. A wonderful experience from start to finish, highly recommended.

Lunello’s has consistently delicious food and the service is outstanding. Our server, Carlos, is extremely attentive throughout the entire meal. Lunello’s is our go-to restaurant when we are looking for a quiet evening of great food and drink.
