The clams in the pasta dish I ordered were not clean enough, resulting in a gritty texture with every bite. Additionally, the ratio of pasta to clams was disappointing, as there were only three clams in the dish and an overwhelming amount of noodles. Overall, I was disappointed with the dish.

We have been ordering delivery one day a week for at least 6 months now. Their food is consistently very good. Delivers on time always in 45 mins or less. Their grilled and breaded chicken are both absolutely stellar. Always tender and sliced perfectly. Their rigatoni pasta is very good with red sauce and vodka sauce. Their chicken Caesar salad is also very good. This is the best little local Italian in jersey city!

Worst Alfredo pasta I have had in a long time. As you can see from the picture, they practically send you straight up plain boiled pasta with a hint of Alfredo sauce. The staff is rude enough to say “deal with it”, when complained about over the phone.

Every time we order delivery from here the food is delicious, hot, and exactly what we ordered. The pesto sauce and the vodka sauce are both so flavorful, and the chicken cutlets are huge! Definitely would recommend for quick Italian takeout 🙂

Bad quality, bad service, bad deal. Their pasta dishes are essentially just the noodles with a tablespoon of watered-down sauce to be as stingy as humanly possible. Used to be a solid spot for cheap Italian food in JC, but they simply stopped caring about quality. Try Leo’s Grandevous in Hoboken and you’ll get vastly better food for only a little more $.

Amazing takeout / delivery spot. The food is always good and still hot when it arrives.

I ordered a large pepperoni pizza and it was a pleasantly bizarre experience. At first, I was disappointed on how it looked because the cheese was completely sliding off. It was as if they cooked the cheese separately and put it on top of the sauce. (maybe that’s how its supposed to be..?) but when I bit into that first slice, it was one of the best pizza I ever tasted. Me and a buddy finished it all and had serious thoughts about going back to the restaurant for seconds! Highly recommend.

Trying to understand how this place has only 3.7 stars. Their pasta and pizza are the best. Love it.

Just plain not good. Pasta was cheap and rubbery. Supposed to be olive oil and garlic but seemed to have none. Meatballs on side had good marina but the balls were burnt.

Food was pretty good but the delivery service was terrible. Waited almost two hours for the food and turns out the delivery person left the food at the door (which I did ask for) but did not notify in any way. All other places I order from call or text me when they leave the food outside. At least it was still warm when I picked it up. Very disappointing. If they had called or texted that the food was dropped off, this would’ve been a 5 star review
