Readers' Choice: Gourmet Café for Best Italian Restaurant

We asked you, our loyal readers, for your favorites in the category of Italian Restaurants.

Not only did you guys not disappoint, you gave us lots of new restaurants to visit. Thank you so much!

But of course, only one can reign supreme: Café.

I made the ultimate decision utilizing the Readers' Choice poll, its comments and comments and reviews that appear on the eateries' individual listings in Patch Places.

And this was close: The bottom line is that the array of Italian restaurants in Parsippany is staggering in its depth and quality. If you live here and love Italian food, you are quite fortunate.

Major shoutouts to our runners-up: , ,  and .

Congratulations to all the contestants and thanks to the winner. And no worries, many of these contestants get to compete again when we do Readers' Choice: Pizza in the future. 

In the meantime, get out there and support your local restaurants! Introduce yourself to new places to dine. And let Patch know your favorites and finds.

On Monday, we begin next week's search for the Readers' Choice in Daycare Centers. Be there!
