Calabria Restaurant & Pizzeria: Your Destination for Authentic Italian Pizza and Pasta in Livingston, NJ

First time, I went in for a beer and a sandwich. It wasn't very busy (a Monday at 11:30), which worked out great because I was able to talk to Cathy and Nikki and ask questions. Both were very nice and very helpful. The lunch menu is perfect, with plenty of items at reasonable prices. The dinner menu has 2 times the items. I ordered an Italian sandwich w ffs, and it was great. I have to go back because there were so many things I wanted to try. If you haven't been, go. Great food and great service. And the restaurant is clean and beautiful .

I am Calabrese so I wanted to try the food from my mother’s region of Italy. The Bruchetta was amazing, my Marsala was just ok. My friend loved his Chicken Piccatta. Our server was outstanding right down to the bus boy! It was a Friday night, this place was hopping!

We had a wonderful experience here! The portions are very generous and everything tasted incredibly fresh. We tried fried calamari, shrimp cocktail, and their fresh made pasta was absolutely delicious. We finished with a blueberry lemon cake that was the perfect ending. Highly recommend!

This is a takeout review. All food is eaten promptly in the vehicle. I ordered garlic bread, meatballs, and chicken parm. The garlic bread did not have much flavor and was disappointing. The meatballs were heavy, most, and tender but were not cooked in the sauce giving them a baked texture and flavor. This also made them a little rubbery. The chicken parm and pasta was very good, very filling, and nicely cooked. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 7.5.

My husband & I went went for lunch today. I ordered Chicken Cosentino, my husband, Haddock Italiano. Both entrees were excellent, portions generous.

Made reservation on a Friday and we were seated imediately. Server and busser were friendly and accomodating. The Lobster ravioli was amazing, no skimping on the lobster and the sause was something I made at home because I couldnt stop thinking of it. Husband got the boston fish, it had some crumbs that made it somewhat dry but he added tarter sause and loved it. Our son loved his broiled salmon, I gave it a try it was nicely browned and cooked perfectly. We had some drinks, my exspresso martini was perfect! Serves was fast, everyone nice and the vibe was comfortable.

The veal picatta is absolutely divine. Cooked perfectly. I also tried the homemade fettuccine with a pesto cream sauce. Amazing. So good. I love the way food is prepared at Calabria. The only complaint I have is the Italian bread. It takes gummy and without flavor.

We haven't been here for awhile but enjoy going as food is usually consistent. Sat at the bar and we had a Martini. Service at bar is usually good as you get waited on quicker than a table and you can talk to other guests sitting next to you if you like to socialize. I had scallop carbonara which was great and my wife had veal salabucca which she enjoyed. Portions were MORE than enough. Prices are moderate not cheap eats. If you have never been it is worth a visit. Menu is quite extensive to choose from and they have daily specials.
