Home to their signature veal chop, this establishment located at a strip mall off of Minnisink Road in Totowa is where a couple of my friends and I were looking for a new place to try our Sunday dinner and happily ended up at Robert’s Scratch Kitchen. Reservations are highly recommended and easily done with OpenTable. Upon arrival, the interior was elegant without being too stiff or stuffy. We were graciously greeted by the host, and so began our delicious dining experience. We were seated within a few minutes. The menu consisted of a variety of Italian, seafood, steak, pork, and veal dishes that changed with the seasons. The use of an iPad to show the rotated specials was a novel idea. For appetizers, we decided to share the fried calamari, stuffed mushrooms, burrata eggplant, and crab cake. As our entrees, we opted for Rigatoni, consisting of fresh pasta, crumbled Italian sausage, peas, crushed red pepper, pink sauce, shaved parmesan, Linguini and Clams, Branzino, and Short Rib Pasta. Complimentary warm bread with butter started our meal. Being a “scratch kitchen," the food was served and made with the freshest ingredients, meaning that there were no frozen or processed foods used in preparing meals for patrons. The food was delicious, and the portions were plentiful. Throughout the meal, the staff, including our servers Danielle and Juan, were attentive without being excessive and did a great job of making sure we were all comfortable. The dinner price was fair for a nice, quality meal. The fact that it is also a BYOB is a bonus. There are a lot of really good restaurants in this area, but this has to be one of the best, so we can recommend this place.

The seasonal updates are the finishing touch here. Fresh burrata with smashed mushrooms in pesto & olive oil?? If you don't open yourself to the specials then you miss the point of RSK! Rigatoni Napolitana is a hit as well. All the seafood is very fresh everyone (he must live on Fulton Street.) IYKYK

Excellent meal as always! Great choices and I love knowing that my gluten free meal will truly be safe. I had GF gnocchi with shrimp, lobster and mushrooms and it was exceptional! We'll be back again and again!

The menu isn't very large, helping it not be too overwhelming. But regardless of the size, it has options for everyone. I also enjoyed that they showed their daily specials and the desserts on an iPad with pictures! Would recommend and go again for sure!

Surprisingly creative food and comfortable ambiance in a small strip mall storefront.

Pro: food was excellent Cons: had to wait for table despite reservations. Noise level was outrageous. For heavens sake look into some noise absorption panels. Would never go on a Friday or Saturday night again but maybe on a Tuesday.

Amazing food. Amazing service. Our first time back since having our rehearsal dinner there, just as phenomenal. Cannot wait to return, loved the calamari, the pork chop, the lobster truffle pasta, and the cherrystone clams - perfection.

Wait staff is always attentive and very nice. Food was delicious. I had a special called Angry Shrimp which was a little heavy on the chunks of tomato, but it was tasty. Their coconut cake is so good!
