From Tuesday to Sunday nights, guests can enjoy a live DJ playing on the patio in the front sushi area, creating an energetic vibe. Moving to the back, the restaurant transforms into a country-style Yellowstone steakhouse featuring excellent country music that perfectly complements the ambiance.

“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!!!!!“

“Place is a hidden treasure. Food is outstanding! The waiters were very welcoming, funny and very attentive without rushing us before we could ask for anything they were right there. The owner is super sweet with a beautiful personality. He makes you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. The food was phenomenal every dish was seasoned perfectly and portions were plentiful. The prices very reasonable for the service and food quality they provide. This is so far our favorite Italian cuisine restaurant I'm so glad we live close by we will be back. If I could give a 10 star I would!“

“Beautiful restaurant! Food very good except for one time. Service also usually good except for one time. Reasonably priced as well. I've been there 4 times & plan to be going back soon!“

“Verana is hands down one of the best dining experiences in Bergen County. The food is consistently incredible, from the homemade pastas to the perfectly cooked seafood and steaks. You can really tell there’s attention to detail in every dish. The atmosphere feels upscale but still warm and comfortable, and the service was professional without being pretentious. Easily a restaurant you can go to for a special occasion or just a great night out. Can’t wait to come back.“

Let's see.I was walking around looking for a place to eat and saw this deli , mind you that when you see a line outside a deli and customers willing wait in the cold for food , you know the food is going to be off the hook ! In line a sweet man was telling the history of the deli and how is the best town and anything I choose will definitely make me happy, another customer arrives and tells me to how much he loves it ! I knew I had found a gem that needs to be shared , because customer's are raving for it , the employees and owner sweetest guy very patient in waiting for me to decide what I wanted I even bought few things brought from Italy while I waited for My delicious 🤤 Little Nicky sandwich 🥪 which not only is so big I ate it for lunch and dinner 🍽️ is the best sandwich I've had in years ! I appreciate the stories of when it was established. I care so much for the excellent customer service and the way they run the place makes you feel like you step into a home! I'm definitely looking forward to what to try next!!! Sorry for the no picture of the sandwich, I ate the whole thing 🤣 don't forget grab freshly made mozzarella!!!!!“

“Their Italian dishes are superb.“

“We had a wonderful experience at this pizza place! The brick oven calzone and pizza were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.
What made it even more special was enjoying the meal with our grandchildren. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot for family time. Everyone loved the food, and every bite was truly tasty.
We’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“On December 12th my law office had their holiday luncheon at this wonderful restaurant. I also ordered a tray of meat lasagna for Christmas. If you have never had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant, I suggest you run - do not pass go - and get your butt there and eat the most delicous food on this planet. The chef created the meat lasagna - a simple dish - and elevated to something that just melts in your mouth with deliciousness. LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant!!“

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

“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.“

“We recently had a private event here for my daughter’s baptism party. The food and service was fantastic! Servers were on point and very nice! The only thing was that we paid until 4pm and felt that we were being rushed out due to them wanting to turn tables over to open up to public for 4:30. Tables were being cleared & set up for dinner crowd way before the party was over (at least a half hour) and outsiders were coming in for what I assume was take-out orders and were sitting at our tables while they waited for their to-go orders, so I just thought that was a bit rude when we are paying the restaurant for a private event and they are normally not open during those hours to the public (just for private events). Other than that, all was good and very affordable! Thank you!!“

“A huge THANK YOU to Ken and everyone at Soprano's in NM for helping make our NMHS 40th reunion a success. Ken took his time to help me plan a menu, order, and execute a hot and cold buffet for over 60 people. The food came precisely when promised, piping hot, and everything was delicious. (All on a very busy Saturday Night might I add!). I will certainly be calling them again for my next catering as well as take-out dinner!“

“Everything in this place is fabulous. Service with a smile. We have a hard time pulling ourselves away from the pan-seared steak which comes with greens, with the salads and the creamy polenta. The bread pudding is a stand out. The only issue is that everyone knows this place and cram themselves in. Lack of elbow room totally worth it!“

“hands down the best place! beyond 5 stars from food to staff.....Francesca and Junior were beyond exceptional bartenders! Food was excellent.....Absolutely love everything about this place“

“Had a surprise birthday party here for my sister in law. The staff, including Brianna and Jasmine were fantastic. They were so accommodating with our requests and the service and food were on point! We were able to arrive early to decorate our party area that already looked very nice without our decorations. We picked off their standard party menu but they had no problem tweaking it to our requests. Last minute requests for pasta and butter for kids was no problem. We have already placed a deposit for my daughter's bridal shower for next year. Also..BYOB!!!“

“Good Pizza Great service Good Beer“

“Outrageous food, I had the veal chop and it was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Good food and plenty of it“

“I order pretty frequently from Dom’s in Nanuet since I work nearby. Yesterday, when we got our order to Sloatsburg, there was an omission in the order ( we really should have checked before we left). As always, Dom’s went above and beyond to make this right. They drove my order to Sloatsburg and included several delicious extras! Their catering always makes our events delicious, but yesterday they made it extra delicious. Dom’s has amazing food and even better service.“

“We don’t dine out frequently, but when we do, we love Amarone! We had not been there in quite some time, so we went to celebrate my birthday. From the moment one enters, one feels welcome. The atmosphere combines elegance and comfort, warmth, and the delectable aroma of culinary delights to come. Charming, funny, and attentive, Tony provided us with excellent service. The food was fantastic. We started with the clams oreganata. The white wine sauce made an excellent accompaniment. My husband had the ribeye steak accompanied by shrimp scampi, broccolini, and mashed potatoes. I tried the grilled veal chop. With mixed vegetables and roasted potatoes, it was superb. We will be back!“

“Great food , BYOB, great prices. On top of that the service is wonderful“

“Food and Service was outstanding as always. Our waiter Carlos was very accommodating and Joann the owner came to our table several times to make sure all was ok. We will definitely go back,especially for the delicious bracciole.“

“Had a great dinner on our ladies night out! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was attentive and friendly from start to finish.

There was a small mishap when one of the servers accidentally spilled my drink while clearing the table, but honestly, accidents happen and it didn’t take away from our experience. . What really stood out was how incredibly apologetic and professional the entire staff was. Multiple servers including management came over to check on us and treated us to dessert and coffee which was not necessary, but very much appreciated!

It really says a lot about a place when something unexpected happens and they handle it with such care and class.

We had a wonderful night and will definitely be back! 😊“

“The #1 and the Chicken, Eggplant, or Meatball Parmigiana Sandwiches are literally perfect on every level. Expertly sliced, sized and also very fairly priced. The Daily Homemade soups are great as are the Daily Specials. If I lived closer I'd eat lunch here daily. Cash $$ only.“

“Food and Staff is over the top amazing. 2 Thumbs up. We love this place. One of Best Italian restaurants in Rockland County.“

“The best Italian food around ❤️“

“We held an event here recently and it went off without a hitch. The food was delicious, the team was communicative and attentive, and though the room was filled, there was plenty of space to move around. A special thank you to Ben and the wait staff for their kindness and attention to detail.“

“The food and service are excellent. This place is great!! I shouldn’t be saying this because people will go. There is alway a line at the door even with reservations. But it moves quickly.“

“Just had an amazing Thursday evening here. The happy hour prices are not to be beat, the food is delicious (the tostones and guac!), and the atmosphere is lovely. We sat on the patio and listened to great jazz, with good service (from the owner!) and surrounded by a lovely cross-section of the neighborhood.“

“I’ve been going to Santucci’s in River Edge for over 30 years, and it continues to be one of my all-time favorite restaurants. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and the staff always makes you feel welcome. Their chicken parm is hands down the best around — always perfectly cooked and full of flavor. It’s a true neighborhood gem with that warm, familiar atmosphere that’s getting harder to find these days. Whether it’s pizza, pasta, or a full family dinner, I’ve never had a bad experience. Santucci’s has been part of my life for decades and I hope it stays in the community for many more. Highly recommended!“

“My husband works in Hawthorne and we we’re looking for a good Italian restaurant. After Google reviews we decided to order from Ossy’s and we are so glad we did. When you first walk in the atmosphere is nostalgic and authentic. The staff is so warm and welcoming. I spoke with Ken the last time to place our order and he was a total sweetheart. We have ordered from them twice so far and their food is second to none. You can taste their passion for food. My husband ordered the Chicken Napolitano both times and said it was out of this world delicious. My son ordered Rigatoni with Vodka sauce and practically licked his plate clean!! I ordered Chicken Marsala and Chicken Sorrentino and it was one of the best I have ever had. Yes this is coming from a Jersey Italian whose family once owned a restaurant in Newark so my standards are very high. We did takeout but we are looking forward to bringing the family to the restaurant for a sit down meal. If you are looking for a great Italian restaurant look no further. Ossy’s is your place!“

“My wife and I were there for a political function combo meeting and Christmas luncheon. This establishment is super clean, bright, and cozy. The food and wine were delicious. I had chicken parm. Was fantastic. Was batted down thin and breaded and seasoned to perfection. VERY tender, I only had to use my folk to cut. The marinara was fresh semi chunky lite delicious and perfect. The fresh bread came in handy to clean up my plate. My wife has a fresh pasta marinara dish and NO complaints there. The waiter and waitress were professional, non obtrusive, thoughtful and caring about their service to us. Thank you iL Portico for having us and making us feel welcomed! Merry Christmas!

“I highly recommend this place. We had a party of 38 who needed a last minute place for our Xmas party and they took us without hesitation. Food good, drinks good and the staff was amazing, kind and just overall really nice place!!“
