8. Italian Table Trattoria/Pizza.

92 Rt 23 N Riverdale, NJ 07457

Phone number: (973) 248-9900

What they are saying: Absolutely love this spot! Came in for lunch with my mom and everything we ordered was delectable. We ordered the grandma pizza, the capellini primavera, and chocolate pinwheels for dessert. The pizza was fresh out of the oven, crispy, and divine. The primavera came with plenty of fresh veggies (made me feel like I was being healthy!). The dessert was the best part. Ben, the friendly host, recommended them and I'm glad we obliged. It's freshly baked with gooey mozzarella and chocolate chunks. Sounds weird, but trust me, it's delicious. Service was also top-notch. We were greeted right away by Ben and the chef even came out to make sure everything was OK. Servers were attentive and thoughtful, but not overbearing. Definitely will become a regular here!

9. Pompton Queen Diner.

710 State Rt 23 Pompton Plains, NJ 07444

Phone number: (973) 835-2086

What they are saying: Best diner in NJ by far. Huge portions for the price. I typically only go around dinner and it can get pretty packed, but for good reason and is worth the wait each time. I usually go a couple times a week and have never had a bad experience. From quesadillas that are better than any Mexican restaurant, their super tender and flavorful grilled chicken, to their savory desserts, I've enjoyed each item on the menu. Plus an excellent staff that knows you by name and a very friendly atmosphere.

10. Dunkin' Donuts.

Phone number: (973) 492-9204

What they are saying: The employee was extremely thorough, she made sure to get my order right ahead of time by asking several questions . She was very kind, also. Great customer service skills.
