Visiting the area and decided to try. The bread is delicious and we had a shrimp fra diavlo and a short rib and burata pasta, with a slice of cheesecake shared for desert. It was $99 - slightly expensive but it was good quality. Nice atmosphere, waitstaff and employees were good. I would return.
Food was absolutely to die for!! I had the chicken Francese it melted in my mouth, my family had the veil chop the flavor was so delicious. Along with the scallops. We got to meet the amazing chef behind it all he is so sweet and talented we are definitely coming back !!
Great service and atmosphere with live entertainment. They served yummy garlic knots with bread sticks and had a bottle of olive oil for dipping. We had clams casino and fried calamari balsamic for appetizers fresh and delicious. My entrée was Veal Marsala which was tender and a beautiful presentation.
We enjoyed our dinner at Pavesi Ristorante prior to seeing a show at MPAC. The entire staff from the hostess, our server and busters were all very friendly & attentive. We had two children in our party and they were very accommodating to their requests. The decor was beautiful done for winter holidays, although the restaurant was completely booked you didn't feel cramped. We shared several delicious appetizers and entrees from the penne aka vodka, chicken Parmesan and the red snapper special; all fabulous including a cup of coffee and cannoli to end on a high note! We didn't feel rushed, the food flowed nicely and made our show in plenty of time. Tip: we parked closer to the restaurant and paid the meter as there is no public parking at MPAC.
Dined here last night with a large group and everything was beyond excellent. The food was delicious with generous portions. The server was very knowledgeable and attentive. He provided a nice, relaxed atmosphere while making sure all guests needs were met. He knew how to handle a large group well and appropriately space the courses. Will be going back again!
Pavesi was EXCELLENT. They hosted my wedding dinner and every course of the prefixed menu was very savory. I loved all of the dishes and the portions were perfect. My family was very happy as well. The staff was very accommodating in making my wedding special and allowing me to decorate the private space and play music. Can't wait to go back for dinner soon.
We had an amazing dinner at Pavesi this weekend. We ordered the broccoli rabe and sausage app with long hots to start. For entrees, we had the scallop special and tortellini which were both excellent. Our servers were extremely attentive, and they even had a live acoustic performance in the dining room which was great. The prices were incredibly reasonable and the quality of food was excellent, highly recommend!
Delicious seafood specials make this a place worth coming back. Yes they have all the standard Italian dishes especially my favorite of orichiette with sausage and broccoli rabe. For my fellow Morristown residents who remember when this place had a different name, the breadsticks are still great and it's still bring your own wine. You can dine outside, it's a little close to the traffic and the people going by, but still nice on a warm evening. After eating too many breadsticks we started with a caesar salad, just barely enough for two people to split, a bit heavy on the dressing, $12. I tried the seafood special of scallops clams mussels calamari and a lobster tail over black pasta in a mildly spicy red sauce, delicious. My dining companions got grouper with potato and veg for about $34, also shrimp over linguine in a garlic butter wine sauce for $24, everything was excellent. Unfortunately we left no room for dessert this time, there were many good choices. A plate of pasta with big shrimp on top is $24, a few years ago I would've said that's outrageous, now it's starting to look downright fair. Cash is still preferred, 3% extra to pay by credit. Vegetarian rating: four stars, the appetizers and entrées include many great choices with no animal protein.
Delicious!!! BYOB Italian restaurant in Morristown with no corkage fee - WIN!!! Food was amazing - for apps we got the burrata special, fried calamari, and meatballs in vodka sauce. So good! The meatballs in vodka sauce convinced a few people at the table to get a vodka sauce dish as there entree! The restaurant is super cute, but a little on the smaller side. We were a group of 6 and got some glares for being a little loud (but 6 Italians at the table and that will happen, oops!) we apologized to our waitress, but she didn't seem to be bothered lol! Waitress was super friendly and attentive! We will definitely be back
Great food! And BYOB which is nice. Kevin Jonas has eaten here which was a bonus. Unfortunately he wasn't there the night we were.
