That's my great nephew and my brother. The food was fantastic and the staff was friendly. Our waiter did his best to make everyone happy. The menu price in the range of 12 to 50 dollars, they make certain things if you ask and for an additional fee. Clean plenty of parking. We'll worth a dinner date.Kid-friendliness: High chair and kid menu

Dungenous crab was amazing! Angelina the owner does everything herself, so you’d need to call and reserve ahead of time. Best Italian restaurant in Bayonne!

After hearing such wonderful things about this place and how excellent the food was I wanted to give it a try. Two of us walked in at about 5:30pm on a week day. The restaurant was on the dark side. There was a table of people as well as one person sitting at the bar. After standing there for a minute or two with everyone staring at us I asked if we could sit. The person at the bar abruptly said we're closed. I said oh sorry the door was open. A woman from the table proceeded to say even if we were open you need to make a reservation. You can't just walk in. The attitude from both people just rubbed me the wrong way so we walked out and have not intention of going back.

One of a kind! Hidden gem! Incredible food, incredible staff (Angelinas son, a one man show!). Angelina you are a gift! We felt like we were at home. Can’t wait to go back.

The food is great if u can get in. It is very small and they don't take reservations so u have to hope for the best when u get there. I have driven from S.I three different times and was turned away.

This restaurant is just horrible. I ate there ONE time and NEVER went back. To me, the interior of the restaurant looked old and dusty. The food was bla and the woman who cooks the food is rude and I just hated the taste of the food. My Italian grandmother straight from Naples is a waaaaaaaaaaay better cook!!! I should have just gone to my grandmother's house. I expected an authentic Italian meal and I just can't explain how terrible the food was and it was sooooooo expensive and you have to make a reservation and you wait FOREVER and I mean FOREVER for your food to be served. Such a bad experience. I'll NEVER go back. I just don't know what all the hype was about regarding this restaurant. Such a bad experience.

I wasn’t crazy about this place. Food was ok not great. Took a very long time to receive our dinners. High priced too. Felt extremely uncomfortable in the restaurant due to cramped table seating. Wasn’t impressed at all. Won’t return. I can make better Italian food at home.

My friend and I have a years-long tradition of going to throwback Italian-American spots in the metro area. We have a spreadsheet and track notes and thoughts of our experiences. I recently became aware of this place, and to say we found it intriguing would be an understatement. I've been here twice now, and I can honestly say that the food is great and the experience is one-of-a-kind. You call and make a reservation, and yes, you order ahead of time after they send you a text of the menu. No walk-ins. Angelina makes the food fresh and it arrives fresh. Mama don't play games. The decor ... yanno what? You could say a lot of things about it. I for one like when places are unique. This place is certainly unique. If the decor doesn't meet your liking, my advice is that you mark that as part of your experience, and move on. The food is worth it! Over my two visits there so far, I have sampled the lasagna (one of the best I have ever had), veal marsala (deelish), linguine with clam sauce (phenomenal), chicken parm (fantastic) and of course their standard pasta side (perfectly cooked and sauced) and their bread (insanely good). But the lobster bisque steals the show every time. I can't not get it when I go. Ever. It's a whole lobster tail in a delicious soup. Unreal! I can honestly say Angelina does not EVER cut corners in her cooking and it shows. Get yourself here, whatever it takes. If I can convince a Manhattanite who never leaves the Upper East Side to eat to come across the river, then you certainly have no excuse. Don't be surprised if you see me there.
