“Had a wonderful experience at al di la! We arrived a little before 12 pm and was empty so we got to enjoy the quiet but it got filled up while we were sitting. The atmosphere is calm. There isn't a very bug menu but the food is really good. We had their famous salad pizza and didn't disappoint! We also ordered a hot coca which was perfect for this cold rainy day and a delicious salmon pizzaoili. The Eggplant rollantini was good as well. Will definitely be coming back here!“

So good that weekends are packed, so make a reservation or try a weeknight. You will not be disappointed!“

“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!!!!!“

“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!

“Very welcoming, great food, wonderful service. Casual atmosphere with 5 star food. Being a BYOB made it perfect. We could enjoy our favorite wines and keep the tab very, very reasonable. My only regret was not coming here sooner. It was like dining with family without the arguments. Lol. Don't drive by this wonderful place like I did for years. You won't be disappointed. Parking is no problem as they have their own lot.“

“My new go to place in North Rockland!!!Omg even tho they increased the price of a large pie by $4 since they opened only a month or so ago it's still way worth it for a $20 large pie !!! Taste is undeniable evidence of its superiority to the other local places ! Owner is cool and great people, only reason I gave 4 for atmosphere is because it's a little packed to dine inside , people on line to order got their backside in your face as you're sitting eating dinner lol. But that being said .... Avanti is the place for pizza in North Rockland county NY - Ralphie Castaldo“

“I highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience.
We indulged in dessert, and it was extra delicious! The napoleon dessert was a delightful ending to the meal. Even the cappuccino was extra delicious, with a rich, creamy texture that complemented the dessert perfectly.
I can't wait to return!“

“Always great food and friendly service.“

“I went there with my 2 sisters and their husbands for dinner. The dining area was very inviting. We got a table by the window which was nice but as the crowd grew the noise level got really bad. The service was good and the waiter knew his stuff. The portions are large but the shrimps were cold and my med rare lamb was well done. We sent the shrimp back to reheat. The funny thing was that as soon as my wife lifted her plate the waiter said , oh not hot enough. Did overall was just okay. Desert menu was small but okay. Not a I’m running back restaurant“

“First off I want to say that the world needs more Gino! I came to New Jersey for work and was brought here for lunch, and I want to say right off the bat that Gino made the atmosphere welcoming and just fun In General, not to mention the pizza was hands down the best pizza I've ever had in my life! And I love pizza. Don't waste any time and just go get a slice and say hi to gino! You won't be disappointed.“
