Eateries Worth Their Salt
Nonna’s Italian Restaurant — Best homemade pizza in Florham Park! This family-owned, casual eatery has a large menu with specialty pies and calzones, hot and cold heroes, panini and pasta, plus old Italian favorites. Hosting a large party? Nonna’s delivers.
The Thirsty Turtle — With a well-rounded food menu and 22 taps pouring seasonal, local and new release beers, plus martinis, crafted libations, whiskey and cordials, this Florham Park gathering place attracts families, sports fans, senior citizens and millennials alike. A gluten-free menu and a kids’ menu round out the options.

Luigi’s — In East Hanover, Old World recipes from the Puglia region of Italy have been passed down through generations to fill plates and hearts. The fettuccini con aragosta, pollo martini or salmone Genovese — hard to choose one, easy to love all three.
Il Mondo Vecchio — A modern take on fine Italian dining pairs well with a BYO atmosphere and some killer desserts in nearby Madison. Impress clients, VIPs and significant others: Start with the mozzarella di buffalo con pomodori and finish with out-of-this-world crème brûlée.
Jockey Hollow — Morristown’s American bar and kitchen set in the Vail Mansion (a 1917 landmark) includes a three-section fine dining room, an oyster bar, a storied rathskeller and a 1920s-style cocktail lounge. Owner Chris Cannon is responsible for details big and small — artwork, furniture, glasses, you name it — as well as the monumental wine program that’s earned the restaurant an Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator.
End of Elm — Morristown’s vibrant gastropub is ideal for brunch and gathering with friends. Tailored plates and craft cocktails complement the inviting atmosphere. Have you tried the burrata with lentils, spinach, sofrito and crostini? Or the EOE Burger with caramelized onions, Gruyere fondue and fries? You should.
The Office — Carefully crafted, classic American comfort food with modern twists, plus 40ish rotating beer, prosecco and root beer taps, make The Office a favorite Morristown spot. Every month also features Road Trip USA — with signature drinks, apps and entrees from a particular state.
Inspiration Roll — Specializing in ramen, sushi burritos, poke bowls and salads, order from the signature creations or build your own masterpiece. Sides include Confucius nachos, J.K. Rowling fries, Take a Bao steamed buns and gyoza dumplings.
Rod’s Steak & Seafood Grille — Missing “The Sopranos”? Fuhgettaboutit — if you’re at Rod’s, you’re in the right place. Rich wood paneling and highly polished brass lend a classic elegance to the sophisticated dining experience. And don’t forget the wine; the restaurant is a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence winner 20 times over.
Beenie’s Ice Cream — Named after the owner’s dog, the best ice cream shop in Morristown features homemade and seasonal flavors. They hand-make the ice cream every day, paying attention to the creaminess and texture while incorporating artistic flavors.
