“Tonight I had the pleasure to dine at Bici restaurant in Ramsey, NJ. From the minute I walked in, I knew I was going to like it! You are greeted in such a warm and friendly manner. One of the owners, Marcello makes his rounds around the room speaking to his customers and making you feel at home. Everything I ordered was delicious and the waiters are so polite and attentive. Pleasant atmosphere and I will be back again. Thank you staff for your hospitality. It’s a BYOB. It’s a small restaurant with outdoor dining. Definitely 5 stars!!!!!“

“Great atmosphere great food great vibe great service!!!!“

“First time dining and had a magnificent experience. the bread and cheese starter was fantastic. chicken parm, spaghetti pomodoro, and paccheri alla bolognese were all 10s (which is not easy to achieve). the bolognese was the sleeper hit. More than anything, the service was the most important highlight. Gray was our server and made sure we had a fantastic night. Her attention to detail and great timing made us feel so welcome and attended to. Highly highly recommend this place, they’re doing everything right. environment is also so beautiful to boot.“

“Good Pizza Great service Good Beer“

“Absolutely loved the vibe inside!
Food was super mid (ordered margherita pizza, spaghetti pomodoro and baked ricotta). Everything was super underwhelming and unseasoned.
The atmosphere made up for the lack of flavor so I would definitely come back for happy hour to enjoy the space!
Staff were so accommodating and very efficient!!“

“Excellent gem in the neighborhood. I stopped by one day on my way home from work, had a delicious meal in really comfortable, stylish, and relaxing surroundings. I immediately came back the next day with my husband.

The food is excellent. I've been about 5 or 6 times by now and haven't had anything less than superb. The prices for portions and quality are a great deal. In addition, the service is impeccable. Friendly and professional.

Highly recommend this place for a pleasant evening meal and drinks in the Bronx at the end of a long day. Hoping to try their brunch this weekend!“

“Our son first shared ARCO with us several years ago. We always make sure to stop by for delicious food, friendly people, warm atmosphere, and very reasonably priced food. The owners and staff are very dedicated to your enjoyment!“

“I loved the scenery as we were sat on the patio area. On the table was a lit candle, red rose petals and a valentines menu. My partner got whiskey and I got a vodka, butterfly tea, hibiscus drink, the alcohol was a little stronger for my taste buds but I did drink it and enjoy it. They gave us bread and oil. My entree was the Milanese chicken and my partner got the short rib ragu rigatoni. The food was good, I just wish they had other pasta dishes out for the valentines special menu. The waiter was very attentive and nice.“

“excellent, outstanding food and very nice atmosphere.“

“Excellent place to have a party! Eddie and his staff were amazing!! Can't wait to have another celebration there again 😊“

“As a creature of habit, when I find something I like, I keep ordering it forever and ever. And as an ex-pat, born-and-raised Italian, pizza is akin to religion and a great tasting pizza is akin to experiencing the Beatific Vision! But enough with the Catholic references! Let’s talk about P&M’s pizza! I have been ordering my usual extra-large pie (half “margherita” and the other half “salsiccia”) since 2008! Over the years, I got to know the owner (who personally makes the pies) and he goes to great lengths to find the best quality ingredients for his pizzas. And you can taste the difference in the flavor of the tomato sauce, the mozzarella cheese, the olive oil, the herbs. As all Italians know, a good pizza begins with the the base—the dough or crust—that must be a perfect balance of crispy-and-chewy, and P&M’s nails it each and every time!

The pie I ordered yesterday was $23 plus tax, (unheard of!!!) which was delivered to my doorstep in less than 20 minutes (please tip your delivery guy) together with a coupon. After you collect 9 coupons, your 10th extra-large, “margherita” pizza is free!!! In 16 years of ordering from P&M, I’ve enjoyed quite a number of free pizzas too!

P&M Classic Pizza and Restaurant is THE place if you want to experience the best pizza in Hamilton Heights!

PS. I didn’t give a star-review for the category “atmosphere” because in 16 years, I’ve only ordered for delivery (I told you I’m a creature of habit).

PPS. When I order from P&M, I order in Italian. ?“

“The best Italian restaurant in Rutherford. Huge portions and the fish dinners are incredible. If you see mahi mahi, snapper, cod or salmon on the menu, order it! You will not be disappointed! Friendliest service around!“

“Albert’s’s has been a go to favorite for many years and Albert is an excellent host. The food never disappoints and the service is always great. I recommend Albert’s HoHokus whole heartedly.“

“I recently visited Saggio, a Sicilian restaurant, and found the experience mixed.

The interior was inviting, with a warm and cozy atmosphere that made for a pleasant dining environment.

As for the food, the fried calamari was decent—crispy and tender, but it lacked the standout flavor I was hoping for. The chicken was okay as well; it was well-cooked but didn't have the depth of seasoning I expected.

Overall, while Saggio has a nice ambiance, the food could use some improvement to truly shine.“

“Great food , great service highly recommended“

“Always A+++! Best Vodka sauce! Best staff!“

“Bistro107 is always amazing. The staff is friendly and the food is always great. They work to provide a great dining experience.“

“Marco’s new restaurant is a true hidden gem! As the owner, Marco has created an intimate and small setting that feels warm and welcoming. The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. We’re already looking forward to our next visit to this wonderful spot on the upper west side.“

“I can’t believe we waited so long to try this neighborhood spot! It’s a chilly November evening , and we got seats at the bar. Such an inviting and intimate setting! The vibe was perfect for a couple’s night out. The food was even better than expected. We ordered the pasta bolognese and the meatball pizza. Both were excellent. The ricotta cheesecake was exceptional! Super creamy and dense with a burnt sugar crust on top. Served with ice cream and berries. Definitely Briciola is now at the top of our list!“

“The ambience was very pleasant. there was outside seating, garden seating, as well as indoor seating. the italy vs spain cheese plate was delicious, the ricotta honey I highly recommend. the pasta was super fresh and overall it was a good value for your money and I would definitely visit again“

“Had a fabulous dinner on a recent Sunday evening. Several specials offered in addition to the regular menu. Eggplant rollatini and pasta with vodka sauce are always delicious, and seafood entrees are especially good (always fresh and portions are generous). Our server, Edward, was attentive, friendly, and helpful. One of our favorite casual neighborhood restaurants. Highly recommend.“

“Absolutely amazing. Julia was our waitress and she was very attentive but not overbearing like others can be. She knew when to come and check on us and when we just wanted to be. Food was as always, delicious.“
