You have to applaud Rob Da Silva, owner of Centanni Ristorante (11-35 River Road, North Arlington, New Jersey, 201-246-0100, www.centanninj.com) and his team. From the moment you are greeted and seated in the comfortable dining room, until the time you depart, they not only offer and promise by their actions a superb dining experience, they deliver it.
Here is the first thing placed on your table after you are seated, signature Centanni garlic knots. Enough said. Centanni Ristorante, open for both lunch and dinner seven days a week - and if you visit for lunch, you MUST try the Centanni cheeseburger ($12.00) -- has a nice variety of meals on their menu, especially the one my daughter Stefanie and I both ordered, a grilled chicken over a vegetable medley with fresh herbs, lemon and garlic marinade ($15.00). It should be noted that none of the herbs and marinade overwhelmed the taste of two chicken cutlets. A superbly prepared meal. It seems improper to laud Centanni Ristorante with just one meal photo and description, so please visit their website to familiarize yourself with the plethora of choices. There are, I guarantee, only very good ones.
Also, a big thank you to Kevin, who has been a regular server at Centanni Ristorante for a while, as have many of the servers. He is always cordial, explains each entree completely, and is affable with conversation. An excellent server. Plenty of free parking and a full bar as well, and an always wonderful dining experience. Rob and Kevin, we'll see you again soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A special thank you to Waleed, barista at Starbucks in Parsippany (1429 Route 46 East, 973-316-2695). Lucille and I recently stopped in, me to read the New York Times while enjoying a decaf passion fruit iced tea, and she to share it with me. Waleed, thanks for being the smiling face behind the counter. Steve
