When choosing this location in 2005, we instantly fell in love with the charm and history that the building offered. Walking up the front steps you hear the creak of the original floor boards, and as you enter through the large Colonial doors you may find yourself twisting the old fashioned hand crank doorbell. Every detail of the building is historical, and every picture hanging on the wall gives you a glimpse of what life was like in the 1800’s.Along with our passion for keeping history alive, we also have an even greater passion for food. We only use the finest and freshest seasonal ingredients when crafting our dishes. Not only are we preserving the history of Liberty Corner, we are becoming part of the history too.Voted one of the Top 100 Al Fresco Dining Restaurants in the Country by OpenTable in 2015. Offering four separate dining rooms, you are sure to enjoy the atmosphere, along with your delicious meal. We look forward to being with you soon. We are a BYOB establishment.

Our waiter John was great, good suggestions, great food. The Cowboy chop steak had great spice (not too spicy but good flavor), onion curls were fantastic. All of our steaks were cooked to the exact level requested. Napoleon dessert was delicious. Would go back and would recommend.

A friend recommended Focacceria Ristorante since we are not from the Basking Ridge Area and we are glad he did. From the moment we walked in, everyone was friendly and we were seated immediately. Restaurant was small and quiet, the service was excellent and everything we ordered from appetizers to dessert were delicious. Our friends from out of state enjoyed everything as well. We will definitely return, even though we don't live in the area. Thank you for a lovely dinner and we are looking forward to returning in warmer weather, when we can dine in your pretty outside outdoor seating area!

We had a wonder first time at tap and bitter. It was a quiet Sunday but the staff checked in on us throughout our dinner. We always had water and didn’t feel rushed and they gave us time in between courses to relax and enjoy each other company
