In October 2009, my husband and I had our wedding reception for about 55 people at Caffe Navona. Marco & staff were helpful from the planning stages to the actual event. We used the large event room & adjacent dining room and we put a dance floor in the large room. Marco rented & picked up the floor and got ivory napkins for us from his napkin service. We brought our own CDs and used the restaurants disk changer. There were no extra event fees added on because this was a wedding reception-- no cake cutting fee or champagne pouring fee. The price was for Saturday afternoon lunchtime meal per person. We also added on the hors doeuvres hour at $5/person and it was a beautiful and delicious spread! We added coffee/tea to that time as well. The main meal was delicious and brought out quickly. The presentation of the cut wedding cake on the plate with ice cream & berries (included in the meal price) was lovely. All in all a wonderful experience and we would recommend anyone with a small guest list have their event here!! It had the atmosphere and intimate setting we wanted-- It really made our wedding day perfect!!

Yesterday our daughter brought home a cute little brand new Granddaughter from the hospital. To help out her & her husband we ordered some catered food from this restaurant. Now we know how wonderful their food is. But we were bowled over with the quality of the food that we catered.First we started with their homemade brusetta and delicious Italian bread. Then a Capri Salad with the best mozzarella and ripe sweet Jersey tomatoes. A reduced Modena balsamic glaze with a quality olive oil inhanced the salad and fresh basil. On to the main course which was a Penne and Vodka Sauce. Not like the usual heavy laden cream sauce, it was a lite & delicious full of flavor sauce. The other was a delightful Penne with Marinara sauce. Not overly dressed with a homemade sauce tomato sauce. Their also a quart of the Marinara Sauce for people who prefer a lot of sauce. So hopefully if you are looking for not only a great experience when you dine in this restaurant. But need catering services dont go any further. I promise you. You will be delighted and full. And really happy that you chose Caffe Navona.

We were driving through Jersey on our way back to DC and decided to stop at Caffe Navona. It was the best Italian food I have ever had!! The pork tenderloin was mouth watering, the atmosphere was great and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. What a great stop on a long drive. We almost wish we wouldnt have found Caffe Navona because now we want to drive 4 hours to Jersey JUST for dinner. So the bottom line is, if your driving through or live in the area Caffe Navona will not disappoint - quite the contrary, Oh and make sure to have the canoli - unbelievable

We hosted my parents 50th wedding anniversary at Café Navona. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was fabulous and the staff were incredible in every way. The owner and manager helped me plan the whole thing and just made the party special for all. Being Italian American, we have some serious food critics in the family. Everyone raved about the food. I cant recommend this place more highly. Its now the place I take my family to regularly, any visiting friends to and also go to every year on our own anniversary.

My husband and I went here for the first time last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary as many people had recommended it and Caffe Navona did NOT disappoint! We were pleasantly surprised by not only the food but the lovely,cozy ambiance of the dining rooms. The service was excellent and we were greeted by one of the owners, Marco, who made us feel comfortable and right at home. Again, the food was WONDERFUL -- we eat Italian quite a lot and we both thought this was amazing. We will definitely be back!

Caffe has been a five star fine dining establishment for years and continues to earn its fine reputation. Every detail is important to Marco, the proprietor. He makes his guests feels asif they are his personal friends, even if he meets you for the first time. I love to entertain friends at this bistro as the atmosphere is elegant, the waitstaff experienced, the bar solid with its selections and mixology. Try it; its worth the trip and the time.

Marco, John, and the rest of the staff make me feel at home from the second I walk in! I have never had a bad meal here and the bread/bruschetta is delicious! Pat Prebor provides guitar entertainment on Monday and and Wednesday and they have piano entertainment on other nights. I highly recommend Caffe Navona for an outstanding dinner or for a few drinks.

Fantastic food, great service and wonderful happy help. The two brothers who own this place are the nicest you will meet. A wonderful place for a special occasion or a quick romantic meal out. One table is too close to the dishwasher on the other side of the kitchen wall, so just move if you get it. Great piano player.

My wife and I have been coming to Caffè NaVona since they have opened. They have never disappointed us,yet they always make us very happy. The service is impeccable, food is fantastic and the wine list is extensive. We dont always eat dessert when we eat out but we can not pass it up when at Cafe NaVona!!!

Place small and qaint. Bathroom small, no baby station. Food good, service good. Nothing to brag about but will go again since the food was good. Suggestion, they can add a little more salad on the plate.

Food was great as usual, but missing Marco, one bartender, very busy, we were in the party room, very bright, very cold, extremely loud, not a great atmosphere. Very disappointed.

It was fabulous. The chicken parm, farfalle, salmon, bread, bruschetta, and cookie trays were scrumptious.
