“ December 2024 update. Same excellent fantastic tiny little spot with some of the best and most authentic high quality Italian food around with great salads, sides, home made bread and pastries. Got to do the affogato too - first the gelato here is first rate but tur affogato is done right with fresh strong espresso .. not just coffee poured on top of ice cream. Super tight space with limited seating but in summer outdoor tables. Always nice staff. Great $ too. ”

“ Words truly can't capture how much I adore this place. It's a cozy little venue with just four small tables and a counter that accommodates about six to eight people. While it may be tiny in size, it is a giant when it comes to both service and food quality. The waitstaff is not only friendly but also incredibly attentive, ensuring that every guest feels valued. I've sampled nearly everything on the menu, and I can honestly say that every dish is a delight. The leek soup is outstanding--rich and flavorful--while the tiramisu is simply divine. Their cappuccino is expertly crafted, and the homemade bread is a marvel, warm and fresh, setting the perfect tone for the meal. In the summer, I particularly enjoy dining outside. Although the tables are communal which adds a lovely social aspect to the experience. I can't emphasize enough how wonderful this place is to me. After five years of visits, it has become my absolute favorite spot in Montclair, a true gem that I look forward to revisiting every time. Each meal feels like a special occasion, and I always leave with a smile on my face and a full heart. ”

“ Delicious food and great people watching atmosphere. Between us we ordered the leg of lamb, crispy salmon, chicken parm and spinach salad with chicken. We shared all around and were very pleased. Friendly service. Quick response. ”

“ Delicious pasta, bread, soup & salad done right. On a beautiful day, it's wonderful to dine al fresco. Their bread is crunchy, light and great for sandwiches or just dipping it in olive oil. ”

“ Enjoyed lunch at Cafe Giotto with a friend. It's a small cafe with outdoor seating on the sidewalk of Church Street, which was perfect on a breezy afternoon. We started with the arancini, which are half mozzarella filled and half meat filled. Absolutely divine! My friend ordered the cavatelli with bolognese and I got the padova panino. The panino was what Italian sandwich dreams are made of- crusty bread, fresh toppings, and bursting with flavor. Service was friendly but on the slower side, but we were in no rush so didn't mind. Would definitely come back here again, especially for the rice balls! ”

“ I've had this establishment bookmarked for a year now. Ever since I came back from a trip to Italy, I was on a mission to find restaurants that their food and atmosphere resemble it. Well, I wasn't disappointed at all. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is definitely very small and tight. However, their food was amazing. Fresh pasta and ingredients. Everything looked worthy of eating! I definitely recommend this Italian eatery for a date with a partner or friend. It's definitely suitable for 2 ppl only. ”

“ Have ordered delivery from Cafe Giotta a few times and never disappointed. Remembered to take pics this time. Chicken in both the Pesto (with breaded chicken addition) and the Chix Milanese was still hot, crispy, and delicious. Great delivery service directly through their website. Food arrived 25 minutes before estimated arrival time. ”

“ I'm not sure how I never left a review for this place but I have nothing but great things to say. From the amazing scallop grapefruit salads I go for in the summer to the heaven on earth lasagne and eggplant parm IT IS A MUST VISIT. Food is impeccable, service is accommodating the outdoor seating is adorable. Only pain points would be once the weather gets cold the indoor space leaves much to be desired a true hole in the wall type space but plenty to offer in terms of food, baked treats and coffee. They are sister restaurant to The Corner, but honestly no comparison in terms of food. My husband and I grabbed a barstool seat at the window for lunch midweek and just people enjoyed people watching and a decadent meal. If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life (and not gain a pound) haha it's probably this eggplant parm. Seasoning, sauce, eggplant, CHEESE it's just that good. Alone is enough for a meal (the app portion) We also ordered the pesto tagliatelle, perfectly el dente pasta and sadly this was a miss for me only because I think the steamed broccoli rabe watered down the dish. I ordered it as a side and then opted to add it in so not one of their signature dishes. They were serving a broccoli rabe lentil soup so I'm thinking they just used the steamed reserves from that from than sautéing Other than that everything I have had here is superb.
