50 Best Italian Restaurants near Secaucus

“Had a surpised 6oth bday party for my husband last Aug 24, and I'm so happy with the outcome, the rooms was stunning and the food was superb. Nicole is an angel help me a lot to make this event a success, likewise all the staffs that help that night they're all nice and courteous. Had a blast💥. Highly recommended 100%. Thank you very much. 😘“

“I just celebrated a birthday and the food was delicious and bon appetit. We were delighted with sautéed spinach, salmon; Pork chop dinner and black spaghetti dinner. The waiter was superb along with his sense of humor.“

“The pizza here is unbelievable. I've had the pizza from this place 2x now and the second time proves the first time wasn't a fluke. The Grandmas pie is absolutely worth the money. Crispy, thin and tons of flavor. Usually Grandmas is so dry and tasteless. This is fantastic. The hot vodka pepperoni pizza was also perfect. Super friendly when I got the pie. If you like crisp and thin pizza this is the place to go. Haven't eaten there yet but looks like it's been nicely renovated. Can't wait to try some of there other items besides the pizza, but it's tough once you have the pizza to want anything else.“

“I love this place for so many reasons. They deliver. They assist and carry you purchase to your car. The food is verr good ! Get the White pizza with Broccoli and Meat Lasagna with Eggplant Parm.“

“I I visited Olive Garden for the first time it was on the list and did go last week for dinner. The portion quantities are good to fill up the stomach and I’m too full by the end of my meal and couldn’t finish it. I think the price that we are putting the quantities will be justified. I like the wine as an old wooden barn with cool theme. Overall it was a good experience and might return also. Would recommend to someone who is looking for a barn style or country style environment for your dinner, then this is something you can consider.“

“Fast delicious service first time not last“

“Fantastic food. The workers are far the nicest!!. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone. Great job“

“Omg. The food is actually really delicious. But the pizza is another level. Try the half drunk grandma and grandpa pizza... it's a secret menu item hahahahaa. It is out of this world. Thanks guys! I know your tired of my nonsense already“

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“Excellent quality, service and ambiance!“

“This is hands-down one of the best Italian spots in New York City — and one I make sure to visit every time I’m here. Everything on the menu is creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented, but the Cacio e Pepe pasta is the real standout. The sauce is creamy and rich with just the right amount of black pepper!“

“Easily one of the best meals of my life! Crazy creative! Only 16 seats, very special in all ways.“

“El personal es muy amable, atentos y deliciosa comida.“

“This is a great restaurant, last year (2023) we came twice and Ram was great, his service and attitude was fantastic, and this year (2024) we came back again just to see him (and of course to have some drinks and great food).“

““Absolutely 🔥! I can't say anything more. My wife can't stop talking about it. I frequent many places, and this may be the best place I've eaten at this year. I've been to multiple three-star Michelin spots this year, by the way. Absolutely incredible place, and the staff are great.”“

“Atmosfera e cibo top! Consigliassimo“

“The food here is amazing, and the staff are great. I can’t recommend it enough. Unfortunately, the Facebook rating system for restaurants is focused mostly on the wrong things, likely due to poor algorithm design. Curbside pickups? Daily specials? Takeaway menu? Grow up, Facebook.“

“I really came fully prepared to hate on this place, most of all because C picked it, but also because it is hyped to death. Further hatred materialized when I waited in line for our reservation and felt like a schmuck.

Then I realized the line wasn't for people with reservations, I went inside, we were seated immediately, our waiter was fabulous, the food was fabulous, and the wine was fabulous. Everything was phenomenal and extra, extra good.“

“Delicioso highly recommend“

“This place really lived up to the hype - all the food was fantastic esp the ricotta crostina, meatballs, rigatoni, and the rice balls, but everything was above average. Additionally service was great, and very lively fun atmosphere, plus it was really warm given how cold its been recently. All and all i think its a great place to take a group of 8 or more for reasonably priced italian food that has above average taste. I will definitely be back.“

“Went for our anniversary!! Had an amazing meal!! Wonderful service and great atmosphere!! Highly recommend!!“

“Great food, warm and welcoming staff.“

“Wonderful Christmas Eve dinner on our visit to NYC. Service & Food were both excellent. Lovely family setting.“

“We were celebrating a birthday with a group of six and the food was absolutely delicious! My personal favorites were the Soy Butter Bigoli, Mochi Bombolocini, Scallop, Rigatoni, and the Apple Pie. Most of the food was amazing. The service was fantastic – everyone was so attentive, helpful, and friendly. The atmosphere is super relaxed. I really loved the Umami in the Kenmare cocktail.“

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was cozy and stylish, perfect for a relaxed meal or a special occasion. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and great service!“

“repas poisson excellent et canolli extra“

“Bit of a mixed bag here. The room is cool, chill vibes, good music and lighting and professional, friendly service. We had the “surprise” 6 course tasting menu. There was definitely a problem in the kitchen because there were some extremely long delays between courses, our meal took 2 1/2 hours.
We started with the complimentary focaccia, delicious and we went for the ricotta upcharge, $10 for 2 tablespoons of ricotta. Not sure the value proposition was there.

Flavors were generally on point, the eggplant with some charred greens was OK but didn’t love it. Favorite dish was the crab agnolotti, scrumptious.

The bucatini served before that was perfectly cooked, but was excessively salty, apparently because of the capers as we mentioned the issue to the server. However, it definitely tasted like someone slipped with the salt shaker. Our main was a kind of disappointing plate of mini meatballs in a sweet and savory sauce. Interesting but for $129 menu maybe we expected more than mini meatballs.

Dessert was a scoop of peach and Prosecco sorbet, refreshing, but a little bit underwhelming for dessert on a tasting menu. I guess as I am writing this I kind of wanted to like it more than I actually ended up liking it.“

“Came to a wedding and the food is absolutely phenomenal!“

“By far our favorite restaurant we visit in the city. Have been here over 500x and the tagliatelle with sheep’s cheese cabbage and shrimp will never get old ! Carmine runs a beautiful establishment on the UWS“

“It was our first time visiting New York and da Toscano came highly recommended, and it did not disappoint! One of the best meals we have had in a very long time, and the service was second to none! Thank you for a wonderful evening 😊“

“Food is yummy! My go to place in Brooklyn! Coda is excellent and the flatbread are also yummy! The Sangiovese red wine on tap is also nice! Highly recommend and make reservations in the weekend“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere! Made a special celebration that much more momentous. Do not skip the prosciutto with ricotta or octopus apps-delicious!“

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.“

“Loved this small 100 year old Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village. The food was delish, but even better than the food was the atmosphere and the staff. Our waiter was Tony. Not only was he funny, he knew his pasta! We felt like old friends by the time we left! The bartender was not only beautiful to look at, he too treated us like old friends! He meet us at the door on our way out and gifted me with a juicy birthday kiss! Totally made my night!“

“My first time at Via 13 left a lasting impression and will return soon. The staff was very welcoming and helpful with menu suggestions. We enjoyed all of them. Knowing I was a vegan, they sent out a complimentary pasta dish that was super tasty, which was very thoughtful. The space (with skylight) is beautiful and inviting. The staff, food, interior design and service of Via 13 is impeccable.“

“Delicious food good service“

“It was my third time coming here. This time we brought some of our friends and did the prixe fixe option and got to sample everything. My favorite was the monkey bread! But my friends were ranting and raving about the lemon pasta. I love that nearly the whole staff cycled through and came by our table. They were so kind and friendly, and the owner is just such a warm fun/funny guy. He gave me an extra serving of the monkey bread after I told him how much I loved it.“

“Fun indoor/outdoor dining environment and delicious food make for a nice night out!“

“Maestro Pasta in New York is pure magic — a slice of Italy right in the heart of the city! The hospitality is warm, genuine, and makes you feel instantly at home. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal — come a casa. It was so irresistible that I went back four times in just one week! This place is a must-visit for anyone who loves Italian cuisine.“

“Finally scored a Resy Notify for this reservation and it was well worth it! We got a reservation around 5 or 5:30 I wanna say and within minutes of us getting there, the restaurant went from empty to bustling and packed in what felt like a manner of minutes! The restaurant itself is beautiful and the large windows allow for wonderful lighting - first, for happiness and second, for the Gram. We tried a bunch of different things that were all delicious. What really struck me was how simple these dishes were yet packed with a delightful combination of flavors. Of all that we tried, would highly recommend the whipped ricotta, mezze rigatoni, and ricotta- filled occhi. I came here a few months ago and cannot recall the gelato flavors but we tried all three and were not disappointed in the least. I hope to come back here soon!!“

“The service stood out our bartender was attentive“

“I hosted a baby shower here a couple of months back. Everything from dealing with the events coordinator to the day of experience was superb. The food, ambiance and service was exceptional. They delivered on everything and went above and beyond. If you are having an event consider this restaurant. You won’t be disappointed.“

“The food was great start to finish.
The cocktail I tried was also on point.
They didn't rush us at all.

But:
It was very loud.
Our two top menu choices were both out.
Service was a little off.

Maybe Sunday evening's aren't their best time?“

“Chef Waxman and his exceptional team gave my wife a birthday experience she will never forget. Not only did you provide exceptional service and amazing food but went above and beyond in every conceivable way to make her birthday the best one she has ever had. Best experience, food and service we have ever had. Thank you so very much.“

“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.“
