That's a little misleading. Amelia's was on the list a few years ago, then dropped off. Now they're back, and get free advertising for it.

Good to see Laico's on there. Maybe it'll get people out of 07302 (probably not).


Normally, I am not a huge fan of this "restaurant week" events. I find most places set up a smaller menu of a few "signature" items. Those items are prepared and cooked in larger quantities to satisfy the expected demand, and the overall result is a lesser version as compared to a la carte, regular menu ordering. In any case, I have heard from some people that Edward's usually does a great job. As for Amelia's, I have said it before: one of the most overrated restaurants in JC. When I first moved here 8+ years ago, I made it a point to visit based on all the various recommendations and it was SUCH a disappointing meal. Often described as romantic, and delicious, it was neither. At best, it was just uninspired.

I keep hearing great things about Laico's so I am tempted to hit them up during this period, but I think I may stick to the regular menu (any recommendations!?) and there are a few notable places in that list:

- Batello's (excellent food and ambiance, with proper, friendly service)
- Waterside (a guido wonderland, like stepping into a filming set for The Sopranos [goomahs wearing furs, older men trying to court or pick up sexy things in LBDs, pinky finger rings, etc] but the food is surprisingly good, the drinks are stiff and they have a KILLER view)
- Porto Leggero (easily the most under the radar restaurant in JC: excellent food and service, in a refined space, and normally fairly pricey)
