When to a sweet sixteen party on Saturday night
Food was supposed to be buffet but servers were serving the smallest pieces of chicken I have ever eaten in a buffet tipe service. Servers had no idea about etiquette when it comes to serve. There was protein, pasta but no salad or veggies at all
Also food wasn't the best

Went here to have a small Christmas gathering with my husband's family. Haven't been in here in years. We had a few appetizers and ordered our dinner. Fried calamari was done just perfect. Mussels were good to. Food was still good and excellent service. The place was also decorated nice for holidays. We will be going back again soon.

I made reservations for a group of 22 for the Regular Dinner Menu. We were all very satisfied with the quality of food. From the antipasto to the salad 🥗 to the pasta and pizza then the entree. I ordered the broiled salmon. Best tasting salmon I've ever eaten. Highly recommend Cafe Tivoli. Steve and the other wait staff are very attentive and were serving people the full course of meals as the guests arrived. Always replenishing the beverage pitchers. Some guests were late probably due to inclement weather but no one missed a salad or pasta or their entree. No one was forgotten. Red Sangria pitchers were so tasty and smooth. Absolutely delicious. And to have a nice cup of coffee afterwards is a nice touch. We ended up being a group of 17 and they could accommodate us in a nice large space. Will return for future events. Thank you so very much 💓

This family-owned gem deserves every bit of praise it receives. From the moment you step inside, the Stancato family's warmth and dedication to hospitality are immediately apparent.
What truly sets Cafe Tivoli apart is their commitment to fresh, homemade Italian dishes that honor traditional recipes while maintaining consistently high quality. Each dish arrives beautifully presented and bursting with authentic flavors that transport you straight to Italy. The pasta is clearly made with care, and the sauce combinations—whether you choose the classic tomato, rich meat sauce, or creamy vodka sauce—are perfectly balanced and satisfying.
The staff at Cafe Tivoli strikes the perfect balance between professional attentiveness and genuine friendliness. They're knowledgeable about the menu, quick to accommodate special requests, and create an atmosphere where you truly feel like family. The restaurant maintains a comfortable, welcoming environment that works equally well for intimate dinners or larger celebrations.
Their private party room is a standout feature — with space for 110 guests, private entrance, dedicated parking, service bar, and dance floor, it's an ideal venue for celebrations. The fact that they've been serving the Bergen County community since 1986 speaks volumes about their consistency and reputation.
Cafe Tivoli Ristorante exemplifies what makes neighborhood Italian restaurants special—outstanding food, genuine hospitality, and a commitment to making every guest feel valued. Whether you're craving a casual dinner or planning a special celebration, this restaurant delivers an experience that will keep you coming back. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic Italian cuisine in Bergen County.
