Here is a great dining place in Hopatcong -The Lake House. By NY metro area standards this place can be included as a premium neighborhood restaurant and bar that offers appetizing homestyle family fare on the menu too.  All their menu food is prepared by their chef.  There are no pre-prepared dishes in this kitchen. 

Their head chef Luigi is passionate about cooking since he was the eldest son of a restaurant owner in Amalfi Coast in the province of Salerno Italy - a legendary culinary tourist destination.  You can find some authentic Italian dishes on their menu.  They will even accommodate their customer and prepare gluten-free pasta to these Italian dishes.
