Montclair Restaurant Ranked Among State's Best For 2015

Here’s one of the worst-kept secrets in Montclair… Fascino has some amazing food.

New Jersey Monthly released its annual list of the 25 Best Restaurants in the state, naming Fascino on Bloomfield Avenue as one of the Garden State’s finest.

According to New Jersey Monthly:

“Indeed, with Ryan’s mother, Cynthia, turning out her delicate desserts, and his father, Anthony, watching the bottom line, Fascino is a family affair. The long-tenured kitchen staff, 17 strong, are like family, too, and they expertly execute DePersio’s imaginative and gratifying takes on Italian tradition.”

• Ranked one of the highest-rated Italian restaurants in Montclair on Yelp
