Pros: cozy kitschy dining room (almost too cozy) with great oldies music soundtrack. A quick Uber ride from home. Cons: waited two hours for terrible food. Penne with chicken and sausage tasted like cardboard, marinara must have been poured straight out of the can of Hunts. Spouse found a piece of steel wool in his dinner. Dining room was so cozy there was a near collision. Looked like only two overworked servers serving. Overall awful experience. Will not be back.

Awesome, awesome spot. Food from apps to entrees (I had chicken parm) are generous portions and VERY good. We went here with a group of 12 for my birthday and not only was service good, the staff were so nice & fun. We kept adding music to the jukebox and when it was clear the rest of the restaurant patrons were also enjoying it, they turned it up a bit we all sang and the staff were soaking it up. We loved them (even the cooks were enjoying it!). All in all, quaint spot, but if you go with friends and want to shut the place down on a weekend night, they're happy to give you an unforgettable night.Highly recommended and we will be back!!

Went in on a Monday night. Ordered the stuffed rigatoni marinara. Waited 45 mins for the food to come out and it was literally just rigatoni in marinara sauce. Not stuffed with anything and no cheese, meat or anything else in the dish. So basically I waited 45 mins for something I could have made at home in 10 mins. I wouldn't have minded the wait if the food had been good.The waitress did a great job even though she was handling 5 tables and a full bar by herself.

Watch out for extra charges on your bill. I think they charge a gratuity amount without telling you. Second time that our check was inflated. The food was mediocre. Food delivery was slow, but the server was friendly. There is an old time feel to the place, but it also feels too run down. There are much better places to eat in jersey city.

Stumbled into this restaurant while looking for Italian food near Liberty Landing Marina on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River. Could not be more pleased about our dinner as well as the service. Thanks to the staff for a great experience!

Restaraunt made delicious classic Italian food and the staff was friendly/funny/helpful.

Authentic Italian food. Clams oreganata, artichoke francaise, any of the pastas, Chicken parm, sole francaise. It's excellent food. Home style vibe very neighborhood friendly. When you walk into the restaurant you don't feel like you're in the gentrified part of Jersey City. Kind of feels like you go back in time.If you drink wine bring a healthy appetite because they have heavy pours. I don't drink anymore so next time I go I'll skip the wine and just enjoy their cozy and delicious food options.Service is impeccable and friendly.
Dinner was excellent here, we really had a great time. Service was good too

I was in town and wanted really good Italian, what I got was phenomenal! I ordered the penne with vodka sauce and it was the bet I’ve had. Be prepared to wait, it took about an hour to get my food but it was well worth the wait. This place will be a must when I am in town.Parking: Tight street parking, use Uber or Lyft.

Great little Italian restaurant with an old world flair. I loved their linguini in white clam sauce which I ordered for takeout.
