    Taormina's food is inspired and prepared by and excellent chef! These recipes are authentic Italian favorites and they taste like Heaven imported to Earth. Excellent service and a very reasonable price for the high quality of the food that is prepared for you. I vote it as one of the best restaurants I have ever gone to.

    La Pergola has become one of our favorite local restaurants. We first dined there for Father's Day and had one of the most amazing and delicious experiences. The staff and wonderful family who owns the restaurant are first class in every way. You feel like you are part of their family as they are committed to making sure you feel welcomed and appreciated. We took our parents to La Pergola after seeing a musical at the Paper Mill Playhouse. From the moment we entered the restaurant we were warmly greeted and ushered to our table. The waiter and staff were very attentive and friendly. The meal was exquisite from beginning to end. Five stars is not enough to convey the experience you will have dining at La Pergola but will have to suffice for now. Thank you for being a mainstay in Milburn, NJ. We will be back soon!
