This goes by aura wings on uber eats. beware. I'm giving a 2, and not a 1- because the deal was b1g1 on ubereats. But quantity over quality... I got the three spiciest. they were equivalent to buffalo at BEST. No crisp. No heat. Nice size wing. Personally, could have done the same flavor in one container, as opposed to 1 per every 6; so that's a sustainability thing.. read more

I really love the Italian meals, sandwiches and salads at Buon Appetito at 280 First Street in Jersey City, NJ. The food is always so fresh and tasteful. When I come into Buon Appetito it is as clean as a whistle. The salad and deli display is appealing. Manager Amir is pleasant and prepares the tastiest meals for me every single time. I highly recommend passersby stop in and give it a try. read more

This place is consistently amazing! I usually stick to the pastas only but today I tried a wrap and WOW, I might have a new favorite. Alfredo & vodka sauce are solid. I love that they offer cavatelli as it's not a super popular noodle shape! The Italian wrap was *chefs kiss*. The delivery is always SUPER fast (I only order takeout from here!). My only complaint is that the prices have increased over the years (pasta dishes used to be $15.95 in '21 and now are $18.95 in '23) which I guess I can understand due to inflation, but it felt like a deal before and now it's something I only get every once in a while.. :( read more

Buon Appetito - Baked Ziti - Pizza Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Doesn't taste like real Italian food The food is tasteless and bland. No flavor, no salt, no seasoning no nothing. The mozzarella sticks are okay. The breading is too thick and the dipping marinara sauce is bland Alfredo penne pasta tasted like pasta with a sauce that came out of a jar. The eggplant Parmesan was a real disappointment. The eggplant was seasonless, soggy and tasted like breaded mush. The spaghetti and marinara was bland I do not encourage that you get food here if you enjoy authentic Italian or seasoned food. Such a disappointment! read more

Peter, what are you guys doing bro? I had to call and confirm you and your bro are still running the place. There's all kinds of new add-on charges to stuff I've been ordering for years. An update has been made to your order. Order # 578010554682604 Summary of changes made: This additional charge is due to the special instructions. Cost of changes: $3.42 I understand inflation and cost of living but, it's ridiculous: 1) $2 charge to get Vodka Sauce on my pasta? OK 2) $1 to have the tomatoes on the Bruschetta "on the side" and not on top of the chicken? 3) Oh, and the buffalo wing? only Drummets? I like the Flat Wingette too. of the 10pcs, 9 are Drummets. Is the Wingets special order as well? C'mon man. read more

Woohoo! Wasn't sure what to expect based on reviews, but thankfully everything was edible and tasted good. My only recommendation is ventilating the fried calamari so it doesn't arrive soggy, but that's tricky so didn't take any points off. I'm a Bronx native so I don't expect any good pizza shops in Jersey! I ordered grilled chicken with linguini, calamari, garlic bread, and lasagna. Sauce was good too! read more

Buon Appetito - Nice little garnish here - Pizza Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

This is a tiny restaurant (more like a takeout spot) in the heart of downtown JC, serving Italian food. We ordered a garlic bread and a vegetarian pizza. The garlic bread isn't as delicious as I expected - pretty average in terms of texture, flavors and taste. I would rate the pizza as slightly above average - it did remind me of a Papa John's or Pizza Hut, so not something I would be excited to order again. Overall, a bit disappointed with the food here. read more

Ordered two subs and a pizza on a Saturday night with a delivery time quote of 45-50 minutes from grub hub. When it was fifteen minutes late I called the restaurant and was told "it already left, it should be there soon, sorry." Order didn't get here until twenty minutes after that and by the time it did, I had some seriously hangry children on my hands. The pizza was small and already cold. The subs were enormous, but the rolls they came on were both stale and my cheese steak was dripping grease. I wouldn't order from here again. read more

I really liked the way they made the eggplant parmigiana dinner with spaghetti. I've been here for this dish 2 times over the past month. Then, I went back today for the same dish and they changed the recipe for the worst. It's no longer made with thinly sliced eggplant, now it's cut into thick pieces, no sauce and not even cooked all of the way. New cook? New ownership? Don't know and don't care. Got my money back and will never go back to this place again. Ugh. read more

Honestly the best subs in JC. It's a hidden gem - and I'm picky. The best bread ever, fresh meats and cheese, and crisp veggies. They always follow order instructions and delivery is super fast and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Value your life and those of your friends and family. Boycott this establishment until they follow current health requirements. This is a portion of NJ Governor Phil Murphy's executive order 122. "Require workers and customers to wear cloth face coverings while on the premises, except where doing so would inhibit that individual's health or where the individual is under two years of age, and require workers to wear gloves when in contact with customers or goods. Businesses must provide, at their expense, such face coverings and gloves for their employees." They are not complying and putting us all at risk to end up in a box. Full executive order is here... https://www.nj.gov/governor/news/news/562020/20200408e.shtml It's a shame. I used to like this place. read more

I ordered from here on New Year's Day and was immensely satisfied. No issues with service or delivery. I used Yelp's Eat 24 app. I got a 14 inch pizza with pepperoni and onions. They don't skimp on the meat (see photo). Pizza is SOLID. The sauce is yummy, the cheese is salty, the dough is pretty average, but not too thin or thick. You can still do a proper New York fold. The wings were AMAZING. Fresh, the skin was so crispy and there was salt all the way to the bone. I actually like that they give you the buffalo sauce on the side because you can also enjoy the wings by itself. Honestly, even without the sauce I liked it, so with the buffalo it was that much better. We will definitely order from here again. It's a solid choice. I hope I don't run into the terrible service that they're known for. read more

Recently I visited Buon Appetito for a quick pizza pick up and was so thrilled I decided to do an update to my previous review. Fantastic pizza, the Meat Lovers is totally delicious. So are the regular pies with just one or two toppings. Their crust is crispy and thin, just how I like it. Fast, easy, and very friendly service. I met the owner, Tony and he was right back there making sure everything went smoothly and chatting up the customers. I love this local treasure. read more

I used to enjoy ordering from this restaurant because the food was good but after this last experience with them I will have to think, at least 3 times, before ever beginning to dial their number again. I've ordered many things off their menu and decided that I wanted to give their buffalo wings a try. On their menu it says this: Buffalo Wings: (10)............. 6.95 (20)............. 11.95 I wasn't having a party so the 40 and 60 options didn't matter. The price for the 20 piece sounded like a great deal so my husband placed the order on the phone. All of a sudden all these questions popped up: "Breaded or No Breading?" (No Breading) "Bone in or Boneless?" (Bone In) "What Type of Sauce?" (Wait, what? Buffalo sauce, you know, hot sauce) We scratched our heads because none of these options are even mentioned in the menu, whatsoever, but we went along with the order. We also ordered a medium cheesesteak and my husband went to pick up the food. When he came back I asked how much it came out to. He goes "$28 something". Whoa wait, the total should have been around $21 and some change. So naturally I'm wondering what the hell happened. My husband called the restaurant and spoke to someone on the phone. They told him that what he ordered was something called "Atomic Wings" and that that's a different price than the buffalo wings. NONE of this was mentioned on the phone when we placed the order. Not a single "hey this option costs more". Because silly me for thinking that buffalo wings are bone-in, non-breaded wings with actual buffalo sauce on them. My mom was fuming and decided to call the restaurant herself to get an answer as to why the hell none of this is mentioned on their menu. First thing out of the mouth of the person who picked up the phone was "Ugh, I thought we handled this already??". Wonderful start. My mom was then handed to, who she was told was, the manager who then proceeded to get irate on the phone with my mother about how what we ordered aren't actually buffalo wings and if we want what we thought the price was for, that we should bring the food back and they exchange it. They never even explained what these "Actual Buffalo Wings" are. My mom pointed out that we had already eaten one of the wings so they said "oh well" and when my mom got pissed off, they hung up the phone on her. Just hung up. There's a secret menu in this restaurant that apparently only the assholes who run it know about and they will upcharge you for anything they'd like. They even tried to charge me $3 dollars extra once when I asked them for a chicken parm sandwich with the chicken in a separate container. Just forget this place. read more

Just moved and now I'm closer to Buon Appetito than Delenio's. I'll be satisfied making this my new go-to spot. First of all, there are literally a million options on their menu: pastas, chicken dishes, hot subs, cold subs, salads, calzones, etc. Gosh. My bf and I ordered tortellini in vodka sauce and the chicken rollatini in Marsala sauce, and they made it to order. We were there on a Sunday night and could see them printing out Seamless orders one after another, so they were pretty busy. Good to see they were making things fresh. The food took about 15 mins. Both dishes were yummy! Not the best vodka sauce I've had, but still quite good. The tortellini was a good choice. The chicken was super juicy and had a ridiculous/amazing amount of gooey mozzarella stuffed inside. Seems like this'll be a good spot for Sunday night Italian. read more

For starters, me and my coworkers order from here multiple times a week. We usually get the same order repeated but the last couple of times the chicken fingers have been burned. We didnt call because we understand its lunch rush hour and what not and people arent perfect. This time (the 4th time) we decided to call. The chicken was dry and dark brown (see picture). We were going to ask if for next time the chicken not be cooked the same but when I spoke to someone they put me on hold for a moment and then asked me if the chicken was black because " [she] wouldn't send out black chicken" and I explained the past incidents and the current chicken we had received. And her excuse was "Well I have to make sure the chicken is cooked inside too." Seriously? A restaurant that has to burn food to make sure its cooked?? That doesnt make sense since the other food was great. read more

order delivery a Pasta Taormina with Linguine for $11.95 with $1.00 delivery fee excluding tax and tips. Total of $14.93 Delievered on time. The food is good and hot when it got to my hand. They give decent amount of shrimps and tons of broccoli and garlic. It came with a bread. The way they put the bread is kind not good. They just placed the bread in the paper bag along with utensil, food with container, napkins, ketchup packs. Come on, why not put a bread in a separate paper bag or a container. I don't feel save to eat the bread. the food itself tasty but very oily. Reading other people reviews about cleanliness of this restaurant making me doesn't wanna order from this place anymore. read more

Super average pizza/deli. We placed an order for 2 sandwiches to go (an Italian and grilled chicken, Moss, and roasted peppers). It was supposed to take ~10 min, but was more like 20-25min. The grilled chicken sandwich could have used some balsamic so we added it on once we got home. The place was overall pretty messy. I also saw a dirty towel on the salami meat. Definitely a delivery/take out spot as the place was filled with drivers. read more

Normally I like this place but today they pissed me off... I order the Italian hotdog... yes I know it's messy but explain to me how your establishment doesn't have a knife that can through hotdogs you threw on my bread... also the bread is split on both sides. Yay. Update: after attempting to eat it I had to downgrade the score. If you can imagine 4 mustard slathered hot dogs on a plate with a side of bread saturated with ketchup... paired with onions and peppers lined up against tin foil. One of the onion piles contained the tip of the onion with the stem (you know, the part you throw away)... extremely disappointed and threw it away. Look, the place makes decent food normally but if you were me and this is what you had to eat while at work, you'd call and complain... I don't have that kind of time. Moving along.... oh and by comparison Villa makes a much better version. read more
