When choosing this location in 2005, we instantly fell in love with the charm and history that the building offered. Walking up the front steps you hear the creak of the original floor boards, and as you enter through the large Colonial doors you may find yourself twisting the old fashioned hand crank doorbell. Every detail of the building is historical, and every picture hanging on the wall gives you a glimpse of what life was like in the 1800’s.Along with our passion for keeping history alive, we also have an even greater passion for food. We only use the finest and freshest seasonal ingredients when crafting our dishes. Not only are we preserving the history of Liberty Corner, we are becoming part of the history too.Voted one of the Top 100 Al Fresco Dining Restaurants in the Country by OpenTable in 2015. Offering four separate dining rooms, you are sure to enjoy the atmosphere, along with your delicious meal. We look forward to being with you soon. We are a BYOB establishment.

    We had our first experience here on Father’s Day. Walked in and absolutely loved the vibe. All staff was so friendly from the moment we walked in and very attentive. Anytime we were about to be out of a drink there are somebody there in a moment’s time to refill us or offer us something new. We were hungry and ordered appetizers and were so shocked at how fast they came out. The food and drinks were absolutely unbelievable such amazing flavor. We will definitely be back with family and friends as well. Thank you for a wonderful night! Not to mention, we have a baby and they were accommodating by letting us bring our stroller, which is always so helpful for us parents.

    Had Friday night “Date Night “ dinner at Ancona last night with my wife. This was second trip and it did not disappoint. The vibe was bright, airy and spacious. The staff and servers were pleasant, helpful and attentive. Our food was delicious. We had spicy mussels, then chicken parm and seafood all served in a red sauce. What was unique is that each dish had its own flavor and uniqueness of red sauce. The different pastas were cooked exactly how pasta should be served. The deserts were wonderful. The gelato flavors exploded in your mouth. The hot chocolate soufflé was to die for and would satisfy any chocolate lovers dreams. It won’t be long before our next visit to Ancona.
