CLASSIC AMERICAN EATS AT THE BROUGHTON GRILL
Brothers Liberto and Peter DiMatteo, who brought you Belgiovine’s Italian Deli, extend their expertise to the creation of American cuisine. Their
BROUGHTON GRILL serves up must-have starters such as lobster mac & cheese, sweet potato fries and fried coconut shrimp. Sandwiches include
grilled cheese with imported Gouda, eggplant parm and sausage and peppers. There’s also a long list of burgers, five varieties of cheesesteaks and
multiple ice-cream based desserts, all at affordable prices. Oh…and we’ll take the cannoli, too. 712 Bloomfield Ave., (973) 744-4402, broughtongrill.com

North Caldwell Montclair
Jodi and Larry Fundler decided
to open JOLA COFFEE in
their town of North Caldwell
for an excellent reason. “We
thought that this part of
West Essex needed more
coffee,” says Jodi. Jola offers
customers a wide variety of
hot and cold coffee drinks,
pastries and snacks, as well as
a modern yet warm setting in
which to hang out and take
advantage of the free Wi-Fi.
The shop also has a rare
amenity for these parts: ample
parking. 15 Bloomfield Ave.;
(973) 403-0403; jolacoffe.com PUNTO ROSSO is the
new restaurant in the
space formerly occupied
by French eateries
Epernay and Fricassee
Bistro. Its menu features
a large number of gluten-
free pastas and other
dishes, an outgrowth of
manager Maria Carlino’s being
diagnosed with celiac disease. Non
gluten-free items are also available, as
well as house-made mozzarella and grass-fed meats. Chef Ryan
Vargo formerly worked at Porto in Livingston and North Bergen.
As with most Montclair restaurants, Punto Rosso is BYOB.
6 Park St.; (973) 337-8323; puntorossoristorante.com.
