Livingston Food & Drink Guide

Livingston has one of Essex County's broadest suburban dining mixes, with neighborhood cafés and delis, destination restaurants, pizza and Italian dining, Mediterranean and Greek food, sushi, Mexican fare, desserts, prepared foods, catering, and fast-casual choices.

For 2026, NJTGO treats South Livingston Avenue, East and West Mount Pleasant Avenue, Northfield Road, Eisenhower Parkway and Livingston Town Center as the town's key dining corridors. The former Livingston Mall is now a redevelopment focus rather than a primary dining destination.

Eisenhower ParkwayLivingston's newer destination dining is increasingly visible here, including BLU Livingston, Vette/Calabria nearby, Just Salad, Mezza, The Twisted Tulip, Paris Baguette and other modern concepts.
Livingston Town CenterTown Center remains a useful walkable cluster for THAVMA, Wonder, 16 Handles and nearby dining and takeout choices.

The Township is planning redevelopment of the mall property, and major anchors have closed or relocated. Current listings below focus on businesses operating in Livingston's active commercial corridors.

GF & DF Dietary-Option Guide

GF means current menu, allergen or restaurant information supports at least one gluten-free or gluten-friendly choice. DF means current information supports at least one dairy-free or clearly vegan choice. NJTGO does not infer badges from cuisine alone.

Wonder Livingston GFDF

No verified listing currently matches that dietary filter.
Allergy & cross-contact caution: GF and DF badges identify documented options or accommodations only. They do not mean a dedicated allergen-free kitchen and do not guarantee safety for celiac disease or food allergies. Shared fryers, grills, ovens, utensils, work surfaces and storage can cause cross-contact. Ingredients and preparation can change. For a medical dietary restriction, tell the restaurant directly and confirm current ingredients and preparation before ordering.
