The sauce leans savory instead of sweet, which I personally love, and there's a light hint of garlic that ties everything together really well. Their cheesesteaks are also worth trying. The bread-to-meat ratio is on point, making each bite balanced and satisfying. My only gripe is that there was a bit too much Cooper Sharp cheese, which made it slightly saltier than I'd prefer. That said, I'd definitely order both again.

I placed the order in store ( they have a tablet where you place your order ) and waited about 15 minutes! While waiting for the pizza , I sat in the couch and watched the movie on the tv absolutely loved it! As for the pizza , I wish they put some more pepperoni but other than that it was 10/10 , the chicken parm was crispy and the vodka sauce was delicious! Totally recommend this place!

Since I moved back to Jersey I've been on the lookout for a great brick oven Neapolitan style pizza…read morerestaurant and I am happy to say I think I found it at Emilio's! I decided to dine in (but at the last minute had to change it to go) and ordered my go to brick oven pie .... Margarita with Arugula (arugula goes on top after the pie is done) . The best pie I've ever had was at a place in Northern VA and I must say Emilio's pie gave them a run for their money! The chew and char of the dough, with the perfectly balanced sauce and fresh mozzarella topped with arugula leaves ... truly perfection in a pie! The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because I didn't get the full dine in experience as I hoped due to a little delay due to the kitchen being super busy, but I will be back :)

To start,…read morethey bring out some ciabatta (?) bread, which was crusty on the outside but soft on the inside. For food, we decided to order a bunch of things to share: -Zucchini fritte (with lemon aioli dipping sauce) - this was thin and perfectly crispy but somehow not oily. It was addicting -Arancini - these were okay. Could have used more meat -Margherita pizza - can't go wrong with a margherita. I do wish the actual crust was thinner -Meatball & Co pizza (meatballs, sweet sausage, cherry peppers, tomato sauce, mozzarella & ricotta cheese) - same with the crust situation. The description also said cherry peppers but they also added jalapenos, which is not a big deal - just a call out. The sausage was alright -Seafood fra Diavolo (sauteed clams, calarami, mussels, spicy tomato sauce) - sauce could have used a bit more spice. They don't skimp on the seafood though. I was pleasantly surprised by the calamari, which can taste rubberband-y but that wasn't the case here -Tiramisu - tasted fridgey/supermarket-bought -Affogato - a nice way to end the meal. Made me wonder why I don't make more affogatos at home Overall, it the meal was fine. Is it something I'd crave for? I don't think so. Well, maybe except that zucchini fritte. I wouldn't mind ordering that again. Tip - BYOB (there's a liquor store across the street)

Nothing quite compares to biting into a freshly made pie made with high-quality, imported ingredients--especially when enjoyed in the right atmosphere. The owner of Song E Napule, Ciro Iovine, clearly takes immense pride in his heritage, and it shows in every detail. From the vibrant decor honoring Diego Armando Maradona--a true legend and god-like figure to the people of Naples, still revered throughout the city--to the selection of ingredients imported straight from Italy, the commitment to authenticity is unmistakable. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the service. The staff doesn't just serve you--they welcome you like extended family. They greet you with genuine warmth, polished professionalism, and that unmistakable Italian hospitality that makes you feel at home. We laugh, we chat, sometimes hug, and we leave with full stomachs and even fuller hearts. Our sincerest thanks go to the owner for bringing such a genuine slice of Napoli to the New York area. The Rutherford, NJ location remains our favorite, thanks especially to the outstanding team: talented pizzaiolo Giampiero, whose skill and passion shine through every pizza; manager/host Omar, who we love like a younger brother. This last visit, servers Kevin and Aslihan were both exceptional. Spending time in the company of the staff at Song E Napule is always a joy. We truly feel blessed every time we walk out the door.

[A decade later, my original review needs a sprucing up...]…read more Rutherford is an interesting town, right? Where else can you find multiple shoe repair shops ("cobbler" - there's a Scrabble bingo word for y'all!) rubbing elbows with state-of-the-art apartment complexes, and a smattering of 'hip' and 'hot' new restaurants that keep getting rave write-ups and making all sorts of "Best of..." lists. If you're a working stiff that doesn't want to break the bank to feed your family - you can't help but appreciate that there's a place like Da Mario's that's not chasing 'likes' but remaining humble and knocking out damn good food that's affordable and tasty. The pizza is solid. Good taste, a satisfying crust, it's not going to lure any 'influencers' their way and that's fine. (Da Mario's doesn't look like a place that has any social media presence and I'd bet they still have a dedicated fax line!) The garlic knots looked 'basic' but they had a serious smack of flavor that took me by surprise, I can't lie. (And their mozzarella sticks were a hit with my kids.) And - per the usual - I must order cavatelli and broccoli when I see it - and they absolutely nail it. Not the most comfortable chairs to sit in? A table you're expecting to be a bit wobbly? Generic maps and drawings of Italy on the walls? The place is bare bones... nothing fancy, exactly what you're expecting from an old-school pizza joint. Crew behind the counter - awesome. Metered street parking (but this block is incredibly busy, so you'd be keen to drop a quick prayer to St. Frances of Rome - the patron saint of car drivers - to help you find a spot). A family of four stuffing their mugs for about $8 a person? In today's economy? Cosa non è da amare.

Just note that when paying in store, there is a 3% credit card fee so consider bringing cash with you. To start, we got garlic knots which came with marinara sauce. They hit the spot. My husband got chicken parm over spaghetti and he was quite pleased with it. No complaints. He has about a lunch portion leftover. I got the Chicken Sorrentino over penne which was wonderful. I am probably able to make 2-2.5 meals out of it. We also got 2 sets of 3 pieces of Italian bread and some extra marinara sauce. The food was super hot even by the time I got home which I was happy with as takeout can sometimes be off temperature-wise. We look forward to trying them again and maybe even eating at the restaurant!

The restaurant is a former residential property and the interiors is no frills. People come here for the food. We were comped an appetizer as well as a dessert and the service is fast and first rate!

I was too stuffed for dessert and I love coming here because I know there isn't a poor selection on the menu. Located on Schuyler Avenue close to the Lyndhurst border, La Venere works for parties of two or large groups for parties or special events. North Arlington is changing, but there are constants and thankfully La Venere continues to impress and flourish. Love Italian old school? Check out La Venere and you be disappointed!
