"Casa Maya is always good. They offer attentive and quick service. If you don't want to wait, I suggest you get their no later than 5:30. Weekdays may be better. But weekends, get their early."

We ordered an excellent artichoke appetizer, entrees, dessert and complimentary, homemade orangecello. BYOB, I highly recommend it. Also outdoor seating."

"We had an amazing experience an IL Monello for my 24th birthday. They started by sitting us outside in a wonderfully beautiful patio with light music playing in the background . Then they served us amazing complimentary items like marinated squash, bread and butter and shaved Pecorino Romano Cheese *(shaved from.the wheel fresh right in front of you)*. They offered about 15 specials which were completely memorized in the chef Martino's head. I chose three appetizers: two specials (Clams Casino and Homemade Soup of the Day which had seafood in it that day) and one other appetizer (Fried Calamari). All of the Food I ate there was perfect, but have yet to try the soup since the other food filled me (they packaged it to go for us neatly). The clams casino were obviously homemade and that dish will always be in my mind, along with everything else I tasted at IL Monello, as THE BEST FOOD I have ever eaten. My mother's Father was born in Italy and we could easily tell you this restaurant deserves 10 out of 10 stars or 5 out of 5 stars. All the staff were extremely friendly and courteous with a classy flare, as Peapack is a very quaint and classy town. (We're from Mendham, about 3 miles away). They opened and poured the wine and Cider we brought with us as well. They also gave me a choice of dessert and I chose the profiteroles. They came out and all sang happy birthday in a very vibrant and fantastic manner as my Father played Harmonica along with the singing. The staff are All Great at IL Monello. The Dessert was perfect with an amazing whipped cream on the side (very thick and fresh, sprinkled with chopped nuts). I recommend IL Monello as my new go to spot and highly recommend it above ALL Other restaurants in the area as having that spark and class that it takes to truly have a well-run restaurant with GOOD (great) FRESH FOOD!"
