“Razza is a very good and delicious pizza spot in Jersey City. I visited with 2 friends on a Saturday night (got there at 5.55pm), we had no reservation, left our name down and we got a seat and 15min later.Pizza was so so good eapecially La Rossa with burrata, Yellow margherita and the special pie of the day with spinach.Cool vibe, they were very busy. No delivery expect for an hour or so right after they open.I will definitely go back and recommend this place.“

“Was a cute charming restaurant. I liked that the dishes changed. The food was good, I loved the spaghetti with locally grown mushrooms. My guest were not such a fan of their dishes, the ravioli was good but felt a little bland according them. The braised lamb shank was tender, but the flavors didn’t wow them. The dessert ware delicious, I would come back for that.Again I’m glad their menu changes seasonally so you have a reason to come back.“

“Highly recommend Ita Italian Kitchen in JC for a memorable dinner outing ( and for my gf and I, thats very hard to come by since we are very picky and foodies!). The dining experience at Ita Italian Kitchen is delightful, with standout dishes like beef bolognese, antipasto with olives and cheese, and clams that are sure to impress your taste buds! Don't miss out on trying their espresso martini(though got mine with house tequila), a real highlight of their drink menu. While some drinks may lean towards being too sweet, the overall experience at Ita Italian Kitchen is excellent and perfect for a special dinner outing! Service was immaculate.“

I don't know exactly what it is but I don't care its amazing and delicious. Get a cortado or a cappuccino or even just an espresso shot.The service is FAST especially for what everyone is making but I will say the line and wait can get so crazy that you sometimes just step out and try another time.“

“Solid place, however, they are very overpriced as I would go somewhere else if I had an option for fresh italian foods and good quality meats/fish/cheese without going to NYC/Eataly, which has way more options for less or about the same price, but better quality, unique and exotic choices for your money. There is nothing bad to say here, I was in quick, out quick, and happy with the results.“

“Giovanni was awesome from the moment we arrived til the second we left. Great attitude, atmosphere and service. It's not fancy. It's down to earth with amazing food and people. Carmine was also a very nice person but we interacted with Giovanni more. They helped us with the huge menu and served everything to the table.The Pasta e Fagiole was great with perfect beans and pasta in a nice savory broth. The Chicken Soup was also in a flavorful broth with shredded chicken and veggies. The Chicken Parm was enormous and perfectly breaded with a sauce that packed a punch. The Chicken Marsala was tender and the sauce was sooo good. Mushrooms on the dish were particularly good for some reason. The Broccoli Rabe had excellent flavor. Salted with a touch of chili flake. Mmmm mmm. The bread and butter hit the spot. Pasta and sauce on the side with the Chicken Parm was also perfectly al dented with a winning tomato sauce. Oh, the macaroni salad is good too. Nice and tamgy with sweetness but not too much.We will definitely come back the next time we are in town. All the people who came on were nice good people too. We had a fun experience listening to all the banter between people who clearly eat there daily. It's a must try.“

“I literally waited MONTHS for my reservation date- crazy day of flooding but dinner at 15 Fox Place made it all ok! From the moment we walked in, it truly felt like we were being welcomed by family. The food was delicious- we kept trying to decide what our favorite course was- but it was so fun that each person in our group enjoyed something different the most. Come with an open mind to try so many things, and make sure you come with an empty belly- because you will leave “Thanksgiving” full. Dining amongst the family treasures, photos and decor makes it feel like you’re at a family member’s home. Each course was delicious- the chef came out to say hello- and the ladies who took care of us were simply the best of JC. I’ll be calling a Monday to make another reservation. Maybe I’ll be hungry again by the time we can get in! BYOB- but they have soda and coffee available.“

The dinner started with salad and the most delicious bread basket - yes the breads are made in house! Overall - authentic Italian dishes that tasted homemade and delicious. Expect huge portions, and overall pretty good price! It was quite busy, again likely because of Valentine's Day, but the service was fast and attentive. I would come here again just to get the eggplant rollatine. Yummy!“

The spicy rigatoni does live up to the hype as well, and I highly recommend. To finish, we had a tiramisu which was also fresh. The highlights of this place were the atmosphere, the quick service and how fresh the food was along with the quality of ingredients. Next time I’ll come for a pizza as their menu looked great.“

We went here with a group of 12 for my birthday and not only was service good, the staff were so nice & fun. We kept adding music to the jukebox and when it was clear the rest of the restaurant patrons were also enjoying it, they turned it up a bit we all sang and the staff were soaking it up. We loved them (even the cooks were enjoying it!). All in all, quaint spot, but if you go with friends and want to shut the place down on a weekend night, they're happy to give you an unforgettable night.Highly recommended and we will be back!!“
