The Pasta Shop, in Denville, ranked 7th, is known not only for its "masterful" blend of classic and contemporary flavors but also for its thoughtful service.

Located at 13 First Avenue, The Pasta Shop is a fine casual neighborhood eatery featuring handmade pasta and wood-fired Italian American classics. The report recommends trying the chicken parm, which is served with pasta in garlic sauce which "adds another element of flavor."

Il Mondo Vecchio, in Madison, was ranked 27th. Il Mondo is another creation of chef Michael Cetrulo, who also owns Scalini Fedeli. The Madison restaurant is more informal than Scalini Fedeli, according to the report.

Il Mondo, 72 Main St #1, is a BYOB landmark that serves traditional Italian cuisine in an antique parlor setting. The vitello all Patrizia, which is veal scallopini topped with prosciutto, eggplant, fontina, and sliced tomato in a sage-infused wine sauce, is recommended by the report.
