22 Best Italian Restaurants in Bayonne

“Ive been there about 8 times and its AWESOME! Service is good, the food is fabulous, I've never had a bad meal yet. I also find the manager to be very charming. Its somewhat more expensive than our locals, but if you dont overdo it on the alcohol its still reasonable for an upscale place-which is what we need here. There is not a bad thing to say about this place and I am happy that Bayonne finally has a restaurant with some sophistication. I'll continue to go just to support them if you haven't gone, go and give it a try.“

“Don’t let the appearance fool you. This place blew me away. Insanely friendly staff. Best fresh mozz I have ever had. Giant sandwiches. For the cost of one sandwich you get 4 meals. Homemade bread. Homemade mozz. Fresh chicken cutlets to order. Fresh sliced top of the line cold cuts to order. 10/10. We will go here every time I am around.“

“We have been coming to Piccolinos Restaurtant in Bayonne for years. My father loved the veal and the great service our family received from the staff. It would only be fitting to host his repass there and when we called Byron to let him know he passed, he quickly helped my family with arrangements to host our family and friends in their private room. The food was cooked to order, absolutely delicious and the service our family and friends received from the staff was impeccable! Mostly everyone had to try the his favorite dish, the" veal martini" and loved it. The Wanko family would like to take this opportunity to send our sincere thanks to Byron, Jackie, Angelo, Juan Carlos, David, Yahir for their outstanding service to attention and delicious menu cooked to order on such a sad occassion. They truly made our friends and family know why we "love" Piccolino's and why this is surely the best Italian Restaruant and staff in Bayonne.“

“Great little family owned and operated restaurant in Bayonne. I think it’s a diamond in the rough! Whether you’re with your family or just going out for lunch this place has amazing pizza, the vodka rigatoni was on point and the salads were so refreshing on these hot summer days we’ve been having! I’ll be back“

“Loved Palermo's ever since they opened! The staff are kind and the food is amazing. Highly recommend!“

“Grew up in Bayonne, and it was, and still is the best pizza around!!! I travel over an hour each way to occasionally bring a few pies back home.“

“I needed some real Italian food so I did my due diligence and came here! They did not disappoint! I ordered a chicken parm and 2 cheesesteaks. When I got home and opened both sandwiches immediately your hit with quality ingredients and the taste OMG! Both sandwiches hit the spot LITERALLY! NO HESITATION GO NOW IMMEDIATELY if you’re in the mood for good made to order fresh quality PIZZA, SANDWICHES AND PASTA!“

“Came here for dinner and ordered the chicken parm with spaghetti, covered in their vodka sauce. It didn't disappoint one bit. The sauce was thick and creamy, and really complimented the savory chicken. The portion is huge, and this dish could have easily fed two people (or one really hungry person). This restaurant is a gem I'd be glad to revisit in the near future!

Parking: There are metered parking spots outside the restaurant, but parking is free after 6PM.“

“Did not know about this place, went this morning for first time and ordered an Everything Whole Wheat bagel toasted with cream cheese. It was definitely one of the best bagels I’ve ever had! Very soft and fresh and fantastic seasoning! It is my new bagel spot in Bayonne for sure!“

“Great food great ppl. Awesome family restaurant!!!! 5 Stars ⭐️“

“We met TOM the Owner... Ed was great as our waiter. Evaristo was very sociable.... The food was very good, especially the Foccacia Sandwich Roast Beef, Mozzarella, & Roasted Peppers.. .Yummy... we will be back soon...Been back many times with the church. Milani from Colombia is Very Nice !!! Good service... Food was awesome as usual...“

“Not a pretty place but a typical run of the mill pizzeria. The workers are friendly enough. Parking is normally available. The pizza is pretty cheap based on local averages. Pizza is a hair thick and the cheese has a nice oil content so it often slides off the pizza when separating slices!

Parking: Normally open metered spaces out front

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel right in“

“Hosted a birthday party for about 28 people including kids. The service staff was attentive and responsive to emails and to my calls when I had questions. Here are pictures. The food that we ordered from the party package #2 was terrific. We brought our sound bar to play music from my own playlist. There is an option to have music provided by the bar/restaurant if you want. I would return to host another party. Much recommended.“

“Most consistent pie in Bayonne hands down because there is only John that makes every single pizza since forever. Pepperoni pie, mozzarella sandwich, mussels with hot sauce, sausage roll, stuffed shells, sausage dinner are my favorites. Open “

“Ordered twice for pickup and food did not disappoint. Will try dine-in next time.“

“Love this food. It’s a every Saturday night dinner.“

“The people that work here are friendly & my husband & I received fast service.
We ordered cheese steaks which we both enjoyed.
We also ordered Shrimp Scampi to take out, which was tasty, but just a bit too much butter.
The bottom of the bag had card board in it& the container that the scampi was in was wrapped in plastic wrap & the paper bag & cardboard were soaked in butter/scampi sauce.
I want to try the calamari next time,“
