We didn't have…read morea reservation and it was clearly busy, but the manager went way out of his way to seat us right away at the bar and gave us the first available table when one opened. He was very sincere and even surprised us with complimentary drinks and dessert on the house for having to wait. The food, drinks, and service were so top notch that it's my new gold standard. This place is a hidden gem.

If you're looking for a small piece of Italy in Jersey City, Ita Italian Kitchen is it…read more This place has become my go-to and for good reason. The moment you walk in, the hospitality wraps around you the staff genuinely makes you feel like family. That kind of warmth is hard to fake and even harder to find. I started with the Focaccia with Garlic Oil simple, perfect, dangerous because you'll eat the whole thing before your entrée arrives. Then the Spicy Rigatoni with Shrimp? Absolutely not to be skipped. The sauce has the right amount of heat, the shrimp were cooked perfectly, and every bite just made sense. I've been back multiple times and it never misses. If you haven't been, you're late...go fix that.

The vibe is exactly what you want good music, great atmosphere, drinks flowing from the jump. We started with the Tamarind Ball and honestly, that alone was worth the trip. The new menu? A whole moment. The Salmon Pie empanadas were addictive, the Jerk Chicken Egg Rolls had the perfect kick, the Stuffed Crab Cake was rich and satisfying, and the Sticky Spicy Sesame Wings don't sleep on those. Every single bite hit. They picked up right where they left off and somehow made it even better. If you've been waiting to go back, this is your sign. Some things are worth the wait.

Ive been wanting to try this place for a while so I was happy we got the chance. For drinks, I got the rum punch. For an appetizer, we got the jerk chicken egg rolls, which was really good. The sauce on the side was really good. For dinner, I got the curry chicken with the roti bread. My friend got the stew peas. My curry chicken was okay but the sauce was not think enough and the curry not spicy enough. My friend enjoyed her food. My only regret was that we were provide a sample of the coconut rum punch while we waited for our drinks, and i should have gotten that one instead. It was very good and better tasting the the regular one. Service was really good. The ambiance was nice, music was playing and we enjoyed ourselves.

Nothing really stood out in the sandwich, it was bland and the pork belly had mild flavor, overall it was a disappointment.

The Ambience is great and it's a huge restaurant! Great music! The thing that's really unfortunate…read moreand appalling about this establishment, is that the security guards got physically abusive with me. I had a miscommunication, mix up which was the staff's misunderstanding with closing out a tab, and as I was leaving, I was chased by two huge men who were security guards, and they physically assaulted me. They grabbed my arms and wrists forcefully, telling me to go back inside to pay my tab, after the mix up was already explained inside. In no circumstance, should any security guard put their hands on a customer, especially a small female. It was painful! Absolutely ridiculous!

I got me the lamb and beef burrito and when I say that shit was huge it was HUGE lol they packed it with so much meat I could barely eat it . Def worth the price even if you think it's on the pricey side and they also gave me 3 sour creams to go with it. I could barely hold the burrito and eat it all. Highly recommend their food and drinks

Huge portion, and flavor was fine, but I feel like it could be better with something sour or tangy. I think the onions were pickled, but not well enough. Or instead of avocado, you could do a lime guac. Also I had to use my own knife to cut it into manageable sections (to-go order). Pretty crazy that they just serve the whole thing to you, but maybe they cut it if you dine inside. Pina colada slushie was great, but not worth dropping 6 bucks, that's insane.

My entree was shrimp and grits which was also delicious, the shrimp was cooked perfectly and there was a poached egg on top which always makes everything better. I got to pick a type of bread to go along with the meal and was about to choose sourdough until the server mentioned the option of a fresh baked biscuit! Bonus - it was served with butter and house made jam. My husband got the mojo chicken which was also very good, especially the black bean puree. We also wanted to try the crispy bacon fried rice (which also came with an egg!) and it was something we'd definitely order again. Last but not least, the service was amazing! Can't wait to try their dinner menu.

Perhaps a drizzle of hollandaise sauce would have helped elevate the flavor and make the presentation more appealing. At some point, they ran out of glasses for the mimosas and brought them out in regular white wine glasses. I noticed some employees arguing and one of them was saying that he was going to speak to the higher-ups. In summary, there won't be a repeat visit.

I don't often take the time to leave reviews, but this experience absolutely deserved one…read more The food was outstanding from start to finish. Every course was delicious, beautifully prepared, and exceeded expectations. That alone would have made for a great evening. What truly made the experience exceptional, however, was our server, Kyle. Having managed fine dining restaurants myself and dined at many high-end establishments, I pay close attention to service. While this isn't marketed as fine dining, Kyle delivered a level of service that absolutely was. His attention to detail, professionalism, and cleanliness were second to none. After every course, he didn't simply clear plates... he thoroughly cleaned and reset the table with a level of care and precision that I honestly haven't seen from a server in a very long time, anywhere. Every detail was handled seamlessly, making each course feel like a fresh dining experience. Kyle elevated an already fantastic meal into a truly memorable one. Restaurants can teach the mechanics of service, but genuine hospitality and pride in your work are much harder to find. Kyle clearly has both. The kitchen deserves compliments for an excellent meal, but Kyle deserves recognition for providing some of the best service I've experienced in years. He's a tremendous asset to your restaurant, and I hope his hard work is recognized.

5 out of 5 Ambiance, Service and food all perfect…read more Came here with the girls! My second time here and a first for my friends We started with the crudo and the whipped ricotta and the carpaccio for me the whipped ricotta was amazing with the date syrup and the olive oil and the carrots gave it a perfect crunch I hope they never change it I had the Lumache omg what can I say but it was simply amazing so delicious my friend had the Mafaldine another amazing dish it had a smoky taste to it that was so yummy and my other friend had the special dish of the day which was the black bass fish she loved it We also tried the tiramisu which was a little dry for my taste but we also tried the Lemon Olive Oil Cake which in my opinion should be called Limoncello Cake because it has a very profound taste of lemon which reminds me of limoncello lol it was super moist and delicious a must try! Definitely will be coming back!
