Horrible. The chicken piccata was inedible. It came in a soup essentially and the only flavor was boiled lemon. The penne alla vodka sauce lacked all flavor and the chicken was far over cooked. By garlic bread, they mean overdone and somehow still soggy bread for a few large chunks of garlic thrown on top as well as some spices that I dont think would ever belong on a true garlic bread. The regular bread tasted fine, although dry, but some butter could fix that. On to dessert. The apple pie was the WORST pie Ive ever eaten. Ever. First of all, it looked like brown mush. Then when biting into it, it felt like wet sand because it was so gritty. The flavor did nothing to redeem the texture, as...
I ordered from this place three times. The service is good and they always get my food order right but its a hit or miss when it comes to taste. The twin fusilli ambrogiano is delicious. The Caesar salad dressing was super thick, like jelly and had no flavor. Like missing an acid. The dressing was very flat tasting. The escarole en brood was ok but not bad. The bean bruschetta was ok. Wish it was a bit more saucy. The clam linguini was delicious.
Possibly the worst Italian restaurant I've been to in more than 30 years. Veal was rubbery. Prosciutto was like chewing gum. Marinara was ok, but pasta not drained so dish was watery. I made the mistake of putting parmesan cheese on it and nearly choked, the cheese was so bad Apple tart looked like stew meat and had so much cinnamon it was inedible. The interior was dark, dated, and felt like a bad 1970s movie set
Great food, been coming here for decades. Today we had the bruschetta, eggplant rollatini, shrimp parm and chicken francese. Everything was fresh, the cocktail (Sapphire with a splash of cranberry) was stiff and just they way I like it. The portion sizes are good. It 's home to Orange natives and a nice, intimate setting for a date night or business lunch.

No seasoning. 1970s style diner Italian food. Pre-made (gnocchi) Gnocchi Bolognese. Frozen chicken cutlets used for the Chicken Parmesan and the cutlets were burned. Sauce was just SAD! Not the Librettis that I remember an used to love. Entire order went in the trash.
Pricing never bothers me as long as the quality and flavor is there. This place is over priced and lacking A LOT of flavor. 2/10 because at least I received all the items in my order.
The food at this old-school New Jersey-Italian restaurant is absolutely delicious. It's a hidden gem in the neighborhood. Be sure to try the Chicken a la Mama - it's a must-try dish.
I ordered libretti's catering for my bridal shower and it was amazing. Everyone complimented how amazing the food was. The food is always delicious every time!

Nice Quiet. Wait was very attentive and food was excellent...Only negative is that the wine selection by the glass is only house wine otherwise no complaints
