American Bistro

Italian mainstays, brimming with freshness and creativity, are a rare find; New Jersey, however, boasts one of the few success stories. American Bistro in Nutley is just such a restaurant, eliciting praise from patrons and critics alike. Using only just out-of-the-garden ingredients and the likes of free-range chicken and milk-fed veal with numerous fresh seafood selections, Chef/Owner Ken Mahon has created one of the area's most exhilarating and memorable dining experiences. For wine enthusiasts, American Bistro offers an impressive list, with over 50 selections of wine by the glass. A friendly staff works to make guests feel like family, welcoming each table with a complimentary antipasto platter.
In a recent review, The New York Times quoted, "Main courses come on platters the size of a small college campus, and they follow the same successful formula as the appetizers - basic, carefully chosen ingredients accurately cooked."
