Reservoir Tavern

The Reservoir Tavern, established in 1936 by Nicola Bevacqua, stands as a beloved landmark in Boonton, New Jersey, serving authentic Italian cuisine for over 85 years. This family-owned establishment, now in its third generation of Bevacqua ownership, has become a cornerstone of the community, renowned for its generous portions, made-from-scratch pizzas, and welcoming atmosphere. The menu showcases an impressive array of Italian favorites, from hand-tossed pizzas with their signature bubbly crust and zesty sauce to perfectly prepared pasta, seafood, chicken, and veal dishes. Diners can enjoy their meals in the comfortable dining room or grab a seat at the bar for a cold beer or glass of wine. The restaurant offers convenient carry-out and online ordering through Toast, though they don't accept reservations—it's first come, first served. Located at 92 Parsippany Boulevard in Boonton, the tavern operates Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with seasonal closures for staff vacations. Gift cards are available for those looking to share the Reservoir Tavern experience with friends and family.
