Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Fairfield, New Jersey

CL is an old gem. In fact, I can't even remember the first time I went, and recently, started going there for breakfast. Service is always great (was exceptionally great today) and food is never disappointing. It's a rare eatery in NYC that has survived and thrived. I saw today it was voted one of the best by Vogue but I did not need that confirmation. Please stay wonderful as you are.

Delicious! Fresh bread, great pastas and loved the wood fired pizza/flatbread with figs!

It’s our first time at this place, even though we’ve been seeing it for over two decades. In short, we were quite pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food, as it was light but very flavorful - not as salty as we thought we’d get from almost any Italian restaurant we’ve been to, some of which are very good in their own right. However, this lightness in taste stood out, be it the prosciutto in the salad or the clams in pasta. We’ll come back for sure.

The food was delicious and fresh. The service was wonderful and they fish was prepared perfectly!

We ate in a separate room but could still hear the loud noise level coming from the bar area.
