Restaurants Near Nutley, NJ for "Rehearsal" Dinner

Hello Knotties!

So, we are having a very small wedding with just immediate family (15 guests total) who are coming from out of town the day before the wedding.  Although we won't be doing a formal rehearsal dinner, I thought it would be nice to gather everyone up the night before for a nice, casual dinner somewhere.  Any suggestions on locations near Nutley, NJ?  Nothing too fancy yet we don't necessarily want to go to an Applebee's or Fridays either. 

Thanks!

Bar Cara is nice yet casual.  I think it may be Bloomfield, but it is on the border.

Town Tavern in Cedar Grove or Little Falls is very causal.  It's a typical bar/pub.  They have a back room to do parties and the prices are really reasonable.

Matthews in Clifton is awesome.  It's tiny, but the food is fantastic.

Bella Napoli in Bloomfield has really good food also.

If you want casual but nice, Michaelanglo's (which is apparently in the last few weeks now called Mama Angelo's, but is still owned/run by the same people) has great food and is BYOB.

Cuban Pete's in Montclair and Señorita's in Bloomfield are both delicious. Mario's is also good and has space for private and semi-private dining.
