Muthu BMarch 31, 2018Its an absolutely delightful place for dinner. They do not take any reservations and you would have a minimum wait time of 30 minutes so be prepared. The food was amazing. Must try the tiramisu
The Zucca (butternut squash) pizza was absolutely delicious. Unlike any artisanal pizza I've ever tried. Also try their authentic gelati- rich, creamy and so tasty!
Their meatballs are a MUST try. I love their broccoli rabe and sausage pizza. Mozz and tomato salad is good and good for two to share as an app. Please try the Mama Nonna cookies the owner bakes daily
You can't go wrong with any of the salads. Insalata di pollo is my favorite. Paired with a nice glass of 🍷 (they offer a nice wine selection) or an Aperol spritzer. 🍹- What's good here? - everything! Love this place... Seen it grow from small BYOB place to now. Family run, small menu and the pizzas are great. Minestrone soup is hearty and yum.
Shrikant ShanbhagAugust 26, 2015If you are veggie, try the fusilli al la pesto. If you like seafood, shrimp tagliolini is a must have !! Finally, do yourself a favor and have their tiramisu :)
Colleen SheaApril 16, 2017Best Italian in downtown JC! Great wine list and the pizza is amazing, the dough is TO DIE! I recommend the butternut squash pizza if you're adventurous!
Shruti RamaswamySeptember 26, 2014This place is amazing! I love almost everything on their menu.. Their pesto pasta with egg noodles is probably my favorite! Just the right amount of basil and cheese! So great!
Miss PiggyJune 26, 2014Imagine you had an Italian grandmother and every time you went to visit her, she served up an incredibly delicious homemade tiramisu. That's exactly what it's like so make sure to save room!
Diane CimineJune 25, 2014Such gracious service. Wine is generous mini carafe. Homemade pasta delish and outdoor seating is perfect on a summer's night.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Tasty Italian dishes and warm service can be found here. The Rigatoni Bolognese is a hearty entree, so skip the meatballs if necessary.
Arjun RamJuly 21, 2018The owner goes out of the way to take care of you. Amazing pizza. Loads of vegetarian options. Walkable.
FoodiesprNovember 13, 2016Spaghetti and meatballs was phenomenal! So I guess everything must be good, very nice family ambiance plus Happy Hours
Not sure what to get?? Ask for the Gramigna. Comes with fennel pork sausage in a rosemary cream sauce. You can thank me later!
Henri DragonasJuly 19, 2020Grilled chicken salad is elegant in its simplicity. Tasty good ness and street side out door dining a plus!
Joe BlossomOctober 18, 2014I've never been disappointed with a meal here. The pizza is great but I think the real star of the menu is their homemade egg noodle pasta specials.
Sigalle BarnessJanuary 15, 2017Excellent pasta and pizza and a nice selection of wines. A neighborhood gem!
We went for brunch, and I would definitely recommend it! The brunch pizza (basically pizza with egg on it) is great.
Great food, but their bartenders make awesome drinks. Nice alternative if the other local joints are crowded.
Jonathan OatisAugust 3, 2018Really good pasta dishes. Nice vibe. If you have to wait, you can go to Word, the really good bookstore next door.
honeywhatscooking.comFebruary 15, 2015Favorites were the caracesse all a Norma (eggplant dish) and panettone bread pudding was omg good.
John PerezJune 19, 2016Butternut squash pizza is my new fave pie, delicious and sweet!!! Meatballs were great as usual. But the pasta underwhelmed, again.
Mike LydenDecember 31, 2014Super-friendly atmosphere, great drinks, and crazy-good meatballs. Some inventive pizzas as well, but competition in JC is stiff!
Dina RughaniJanuary 21, 2015Fresh pastas. Rosemary sausage with cream sauce pasta and butternut squash pizza. Chicken Marsala looked good as well
Charlie CooperOctober 31, 2014Amazing food!! The butternut squash pizza is so good and I can't fault the pasta dishes I've tried
Adelle CharlesDecember 29, 2019Great happy hour, house wine is on point (red). The charcuterie was amazing.
Zucchini pizza is very good and the Cacio e Pepe fettuccine is yum. Share one of each and then get the tiramisu.- Chris GamioAugust 7, 2014Grab a friend and split the full-size meatball sangweech and some tiramisu for a perfect light lunch.
Isaac MalehAugust 19, 2014Didn't love it at first, but it's amazing now! Try the meatballs, and the home made pasta is great- Without question try the quattro fromaggi pizza. It's delicious and the Asiago gives it a sharp, salty bite.
Incredible authentic Italian food. I've had the meatball sangweech and the rigatoni with meat sauce and I've been impressed both times.
- Jeannette L.November 17, 2016The meatballs are really good! Get a side of them with your order. It's a must!
- Omar SierraltaOctober 22, 2013Best meatballs and tomato sauce I've tasted in years... Wonderful Panini's and family run... You won't regret it!
Y. NEGi SatoDecember 28, 2013pizza is good and the servers have a great attitude. definitely coming back :)
Just opened, great food and very friendly service. The whole menu is for take out as well. PS: The Tiramisu is 2D4.
Everything about my meal was lovely. The creative ice cream flavors are great, especially the olive oil!
Best lentil soup. Friendly, accomodating service. Goid authebtic food. 🍷🍴🥂- Saloni MehtaMarch 7, 2013Penne Alla Norma Pasta and Margarita pizza are the best. The best pasta and pizza had so far.
Rita ChipalkattyOctober 20, 2012Fantastic food. Get the cacio e pepe. Super friendly and funny staff. Definitely coming back!- Zucca pizza is delicious, with great cheese and it even has maple syrup on it
John ButtFebruary 16, 2017Love the butternut squash pizza. I wish the beer selection was larger and better.- Wonderful lentil soup. Love the salads, eggplant parmigiano, etc.!
Both the Pesto and the Penne alla Norma are excellent veggie options. And get the cookie too.- John ButtJune 1, 2019French toast is awesome. Fair warning it can get uncomfortably loud inside. Music is too loud, every surface is hard, and the server station is in the dining room.
What a great place and the food is outstanding! Follow your nose to Roman Nose!
Greg AvolaSeptember 4, 2013Amazingly little pasta place near Grove St. They make their own mozzarella on-site - try it!
