Delicious food! Great service! Nice ambiance! This is my usual spot when I want to have a break from mom duties and wine down (it's BYOB) and close to home. I always get the sesame ginger fried calamari... OMG it's to die for. Perfectly fried, with a hint of sweet and spicy. I usually like to try something new but seem to gravitate towards my usual- I had the Chicken Cristina which was very flavorful. I thought I would take half home bc they serve pretty large portions but I was hungry and it was soo good I devoured my plate.

The longest surviving eatery in River Edge because it's good! Their menu features sure bets as well as a flexible choice here and there. It is a success story worthy of our support.

I have been coming here since I was a kid and it's always a treat. I always get the chicken francese over linguine and nobody makes it quite as delicious as sanducci's does. We have also gotten catering from sanducci's for family parties which is always a hit with the family. In my opinion, Sanducci's is better any influencer-infested Italian place I've been to in the city.

I think we came to Sanducci's for my mother-in-law's (MIL) birthday. Her and my father-in-law (FIL) used to go to their old location before they moved like 100 feet up the road. There is a back entrance that is a bit weird. You park in the parking lot, it's on an incline and there isn't a lot of space. Plus, everyone has big-ass cars nowadays so there's even less space. You enter through the door and you walk up the stairs and it's pass a child day care and I think a tutoring center or something else, but the back stairway just gives off secret entrance/exit vibes. There is a front entrance too. We had a reservation but we still had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. This restaurant was packed really full. It was crowded and loud, lots of hustle and bustle. It must be very popular for family events because there were a ton of families there. When we finally got seated, I can't recall if it took them a while to bring bread or not, but if there was a wait, the wait was worth it. The bread was really good, not sure what kind of bread it was, maybe foccacia. It had a salty taste to it and when you're hungry, you'll eat anything. We finally ordered: my husband got a pizza (surprise, surprise -- because he doesn't get anything different), I got the black linguini, my FIL got the salmon penne, and my MIL got the spinach ravioli. My husband ate the entire pizza, yes, the entire pizza. He then regretted it afterwards and had to lie down when he got home. My in-laws really liked their dishes and they finished it pretty fast. I did like my black linguini, however, it came with the vodka sauce and I couldn't get it without it, and I hadn't brought my lactaid pills. I did my best to avoid the sauce but ultimately, I did have to endure it. I didn't finish because it's a lot of pasta, at least for me. We would've liked to get dessert but we were all way too full. And we already had cake at home for my MIL. I definitely recommend Sanducci's if you're in the area. Make a reservation because this place gets packed. The food is excellent, I think it's family owned, and I'd love to return to try different items on their menu.

I was impressed! I really liked the ambiance that it wasn't too loud but had a festive environment. It was perfect for my mom's birthday. Our whole group had a great time! Chicken Arturo was so yummy!! So tasty cooked with mushrooms, garlic and onion with a really balanced flavor. I got the cheese on the side which I prefer to be less rich. Loved the veg side and potatoes (definitely fried but very good!). My mom loved her Cappellini shrimp pasta, her husband enjoyed the shrimp parm, and my boyfriend loved his steak. Oreo cheesecake was to die for!! Not too sweet or dense, more of an Italian cheesecake as it was a fluffier texture and I LOVED it! It would be amazing for breakfast. I am literally dreaming about that cheesecake! Ha. The tiramisu was also very good!
