New Jersey’s Best Italian Restaurants
New Jersey has more Italian-Americans per square mile than anywhere outside of Italy itself, and that means the bar for Italian food here is personally high. These are the restaurants that cleared it.
From a 35-seat Sicilian BYOB, to a cash-only speakeasy in Atlantic City that’s been running since 1921, we’re covering the best authentic Italian restaurants in the Garden State, the ones worth the drive, the reservation battle, and the planning.
Drop your favorite NJ Italian spot in the comments. We’ll argue about it.

The pronunciation of Italian dishes is diabolical 😂
I went to a Place that had the Best Italian Ever so big I had to eat it 4×'s
Enjoy the info …but the narrator’s voice is grating ……voice made perfect for a Charlie Chaplin movie.
went to Chef VOLA‘S last week veal Parmesan was excellent as always!
The fried calamary. lol
My mother talked about Vola’s from when the family would be guests of Nuckey Johnson.
This guy‘s pronunciation grates on my north Jersey ears.
I am from Brooklyn NY living in Jersey for 30 years. I have not found a good Italian restaurant yet. I am Italian born and I am sorry food is too over done.
They might be good for American standards but way different from Italian restaurants in Italy.
Does anyone else think this sounds like Tim Dillon 🤣
probably the worst narrator ive ever heard, had to shut it off.
Chef vola has flipped owners multiple times, this place is a tourist trap, making you wait for months to a get a reservation and their food is a joke for american italian food, i was born and raised in italy, i have eaten in nyc finest Italian restaurant, their food is a joke😮
It would be so much to listen to the presentation if the narrator had a smoother voice and knew how to correctly pronounce the names of the food. His squeaky voice and mispronunciation ruin the video.
Belmont Tavern on Bloomfield Avenue is absolutely phenomenal. People have been going there for years and talking about it like it's the first time they've ever had the most fabulous chicken on the planet. They are so well known for their chicken Savoy. You have to have to experience the Belmont Tavern on Bloomfield Avenue in Newark. I lived in Belleville and always heard about the Belmont Tavern, but never got a chance to get in there cause it was small and busy, but if you have a chance, you have to try out the Belmont.
I just can't get through the videos on this channel. I tried a few times. The voice is literal toucher. Is this what AI thinks a guy from jersey sounds like? If so, it's way off.
These restaurants don't sound so great to me. Bring your own booze, cash only, seasonal menu changes, and difficult ies getting resevations
reservations. Not.my cup of tea.😮
This commentator’s pronunciation of the dishes is making my ears bleed!
Wheres da gapusel!
Da goats head
Local sourcing ?
I want maine lobster
Not from the kill van cull
You’re an itchy, Kenichi, Bonnici, Fanici…..
Wish they had decent Italian restaurants in California. It’s all hype and horseshit; especially the food.
Doesn’t matter if it’s Los Angeles, San Diego, or San Francisco. It’s possibly a step up from Chef Boyadie. Need to travel back to NY-NJ for real Italian food.
Formerly of Wayne, New Jersey here. I've never been to Viggio's.
☝️ My pick is Calandra's Italian Village, located in the Borough of Caldwell in Essex County, New Jersey on Bloomfield Avenue, not far from Caldwell University. 😌
They have a bakery and Italian deli to die for. 😋😌👍

Who cares?
Show pictures of the food you’re trying to pronounce. Don’t show deserts while taking about entrees.
Pleae Youtube stop AI videos.
Lubrano’s in Wall township Monmouth county.
That narrator stinks .
It’s not a charcuterie board in Italian. It’s an antipasto.
Never go to NJ.
Can someone please give me the list. Im watching but have ADD. Is there anything in Bergen County?
Angelica’s is so so
Andrea's , Waldwick NJ Hands down the best.
New Jersey, really ??? New Jersey is known for diners. The Italian restaurants in Manhattan, NYC, are practically door to door.
Gravy. Not sauce…
LUIGIS ON BLFD AVE IN NEWARK CHECK IT OUT
TY!!
It is confusing to look at pictures of desserts while the narrator is stalking about pasta. But they are right about Chef Vola.
Vics in Bradley Beach .The best.
There is one used car shop on all of Hamburg turnpike in wWayne, correct yourself buddy😊
I like the BYOB
