Bella Luce Restaurant Bar - Nutley

My wife and I were here last night to book a private event and we had dinner while we were there. The owner was extremely accommodating and a genuine pleasure to deal with and the food was also outstanding!!! We ordered the Spaghetti Siciliano and the Rigatoni Zingara. Both dishes were delicious and nicely portioned. The kids had ravioli and spaghetti with vodka sauce and they both loved it as well. We also tried the Thai ginger calamari which was very tasty and perfectly tender. The staff was also very good and attentive. Great dining experience and we look forward to our next meal here. Highly recommended!!!

I celebrated a private 40th birthday party with 60 people here and let me tell you, everything about this place is awesome!!! Joe (The Owner) was so incredible to work with. Leading up to the party, I had many questions and Joe was willing and able to answer my calls very professionally and in a timely manner. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND for me and for the party. I could never thank him enough. The restaurant/ bar is clean, elegant and cozy. It is suitable for a party or for a casual dinner. The servers are absolutely incredible. They are fast and efficient, not to mention professional and kind. The food…. Omg the food. *chef’s kiss* Every single item is delicious. I was also lucky enough to try the pasta wheel that usually takes place on Wednesdays. Best pasta I’ve ever had. You will not be disappointed here.

This is an outstanding authentic Italian restaurant. The pasta dishes were amazing. The fried calamari was out of this world good. The antipasto and meatballs were excellent. The sangria has to be top 3 out of all I've tried around the ironbound section. The tartufo and coffee gelato was amazing. My only suggestion is to have the complimentary bread placed in the oven and served hot to all guests alongside olive oil. I will definitely return and recommend to all of my family and friends.

This is my favorite restaurant in Nutley! Not only is absolutely everything you eat perfect, but the ambiance is immaculate. It's such a beautiful place with the most magical vibe. Going here is such a beautiful experience. I definitely recommend it :

I was brought here for my bachelor party dinner before heading out for the evening. The food was absolutely amazing. The service was incredible as was the owner coming up and introducing himself and to check on everything. The overall atmosphere was very cozy and inviting and I will definitely be returning!
