When choosing this location in 2005, we instantly fell in love with the charm and history that the building offered. Walking up the front steps you hear the creak of the original floor boards, and as you enter through the large Colonial doors you may find yourself twisting the old fashioned hand crank doorbell. Every detail of the building is historical, and every picture hanging on the wall gives you a glimpse of what life was like in the 1800’s.Along with our passion for keeping history alive, we also have an even greater passion for food. We only use the finest and freshest seasonal ingredients when crafting our dishes. Not only are we preserving the history of Liberty Corner, we are becoming part of the history too.Voted one of the Top 100 Al Fresco Dining Restaurants in the Country by OpenTable in 2015. Offering four separate dining rooms, you are sure to enjoy the atmosphere, along with your delicious meal. We look forward to being with you soon. We are a BYOB establishment.

    3 of the 4 of us made it to dinner, one being a guest from out of town. Dinner was good, service was great. Pasta w eggplant dish was bland, overly simple, nothing to speak of. The other two dishes were fish, and were good. For the 4th who couldn’t make it- got a pasta bolognaise to go as they were stuck at work. It was rigatoni with virtually no sauce on it. That was dry and terrible. So for the $250 for 4 meals, 2 not up to what we felt should have been better, the dinner was just ok. First time back there in months, and it wasn’t the same at all.

    A friend recommended Focacceria Ristorante since we are not from the Basking Ridge Area and we are glad he did. From the moment we walked in, everyone was friendly and we were seated immediately. Restaurant was small and quiet, the service was excellent and everything we ordered from appetizers to dessert were delicious. Our friends from out of state enjoyed everything as well. We will definitely return, even though we don't live in the area. Thank you for a lovely dinner and we are looking forward to returning in warmer weather, when we can dine in your pretty outside outdoor seating area!

    Always good food and service. Tends to get a bit noisy but tables are not so close together which is good as rooms are on the small side

    This was our first time at this restaurant. The food and service was excellent! The tuna was the best I ever had, and the swordfish special was delicious. We never felt rushed, and all enjoyed our meals. Albi was our server. He was terrific. We will be back!

    Lovely restaurant with onsite parking and near major roadways. We went on a Saturday evening and the place was packed. The service was good but not great as we had to remind our servers about certain things that perhaps on a less crowded night they would have addressed. The food was good but everything was aka carte so no salad vegetable or potato came with the meal. Take that into consideration when you order. The bread did and was excellent. Overall very good.

    The food here is excellent - save room for their homemade ice cream - you won’t regret it!
