Matera's on Park, Rutherford

As an Italian eatery that doubles as a gourmet food market, Matera's on Park looks as though it belongs on a cobblestone street in Europe. And yet, despite its old-world charm, Matera's caters to modern and busy lifestyles. Some of its patrons like to stop in during their commute for a quick bite of something fresh. Others call ahead to order a "Dinner on Demand"—a family-style meal composed of meat, pasta, veggies, and more—and swing by to pick it up on their way home. Those who wait while their food is being prepped can then make good use of their time by perusing the market's shelves for tasty foodstuffs like imported olive oil and cheeses.
