“ Me and my boyfriend tried 081 cafe last night ( on a Monday) for the first time. Although we were the ONLY people in the entire restaurant, It was still a great experience. We both enjoyed everything that we ordered. It was tasty and cooked well. I personally love that it's a byob too. Their homemade tiramisu was very good and the waitress was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. Looking forward to going back soon! ”
“ Great food. I loved the risotto scallops. 3 more dishes outstanding. A mix of appys and even that was elevated because the server (Oscar), who put together sharing plates. Talking about service, as good as the food. Oscar. Oscar. Oscar. Close by and it was a 1st for us and it won't be a last. ”
“ Seriously, seriously good Margherita pizza. It is Neapolitan-style, so if you go in expecting NY-style pizza you will be disappointed. But if you're a fan of Neapolitan-style, this place does it extremely well. We also really enjoyed the Shrimp Casarola and Vegetable board appetizers. Our view is that the service was very good -- but we didn't go in expecting Four Seasons service at a moderately priced BYOB restaurant. So I think again it is a question of expectations. We are big fans. This was our third or fourth visit. ”
“ Such a cute, cozy Italian place in Ho-Ho-Kus! We loved our meal here last night. As soon as you walk in, you know you've landed a neighborhood favorite spot. The food was great - my favorite was definitely the squid ink pasta, but everything we ordered was delicious. Really friendly service, decent portions/prices, and BYOB! Can't wait to be back soon. A hidden gem. ”
