    Overrated for the price. Very noisy and seated on top of other people. Food is average

    Our waiter Guillermo was a pleasure. The loud woman at the table next to us was not. Sitting upstairs is usually quaint and cozy and quieter. However the tables are so close together that it was difficult to screen out her voice.

    This was our second time eating at MV. The service is truly outstanding. The wait staff was never far from our table and accessible if needed. They don't rush you to order or eat. All the food was tasty and presented well in the plates and in generous portions. I had hoped for a scingili dish that I'd had before, but it was not on the menu that night. The shrimp dish I chose was great. Yes, we will go again.

    Normally we enjoy our meals here and for the most part this last one was fine, EXCEPT, one of our friends ordered the special black truffle fettuccine. The entree was OK, but for $68, really seemed out of line. We've had this exact same dish in Italy and it was ⅓ of the price and was much more interesting. Thought it was overpriced.

    Celebrated my 30th birthday here with my husband and the staff made me feel so special. The food was amazing- we had the chicken francese, Amatriciana, and chocolate torte. Our water glasses were never empty- such a fun night.

    We loved everything but the pre fix menu, wished we could have ordered off the regular menu, but we will be back when it’s not pre fixed. Anxious to try the Alla Bolognese and so many other dishes!

    ★★★★★ An Unforgettable Valentine's Evening at MV Our Valentine's Day dinner at Restaurant MV was nothing short of magical. MV proved to be the perfect setting for a romantic celebration. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of understated elegance and warmth. The restaurant's intimate lighting and thoughtful table spacing created an environment where conversation flowed naturally, and each table felt like its own private dining sanctuary. The service staff struck that perfect balance between attentiveness and discretion, anticipating needs without hovering. The special Valentine's menu showcased a brilliant fusion of Italian flavors and cuisine. The wine list deserves special mention, featuring an impressive selection of both Old and New World wines and for dessert, the ricotta cheesecake and zabaglione with strawberries was devine – a classic Valentine's treat executed with precision and care. Price-wise, while MV sits in the higher end of the spectrum, the quality of ingredients, execution, and overall experience fully justified the investment for such a special occasion. This isn't just dinner – it's a carefully orchestrated culinary journey that creates lasting memories. For those seeking a truly special dining experience in New Jersey, Restaurant MV stands out as a destination worth the trip to Bernardsville. It's clear why securing a Valentine's Day reservation here is so coveted – the combination of sophisticated ambiance, exceptional service, and outstanding cuisine creates an evening that lingers in memory long after the last bite. Highly recommended for special occasions, particularly for couples seeking a romantic dining experience that goes above and beyond the ordinary.
