The food was excellent excellent service and nice atmosphere and didn't have to wait for a table

I parked in a lot next to Patsy's -- not their main parking area -- and nothing made it reasonably clear in those conditions that it belonged to them or was restricted. It was an honest mistake. The car was there for around an hour, the lot was mostly empty with plenty of open spaces, and the lot itself is a good distance from the restaurant with no valet or staff present on site. Even if there is signage somewhere, it clearly wasn't visible or obvious enough for a normal person to realize, yet they still chose to tow the car within about an hour despite there being no urgency and no shortage of parking. The towing company Patsy's partners with then charged over $300 in storage and payment fees, including charges that NJ Consumer Affairs later required to be refunded, and they refused to release the vehicle while still charging storage for days. During that time, I had to rely on Ubers to get home and get around, adding even more unnecessary cost and inconvenience. It took nearly two months working with investigators before the towing company finally issued the refund -- the investigator even had to follow up more than once before they complied. Patsy's is responsible for the vendors they choose and how their policies impact people. Partnering with such an aggressive towing company and allowing something like this to happen -- especially when the neighboring lot wasn't full, the car wasn't there long, and it wasn't even clear the lot belonged to them -- says a lot. The experience was unnecessary, stressful, and entirely avoidable, and people should be aware of how they handle situations like this. Because of this, I won't be dining at Patsy's going forward, and I'd strongly encourage others to think carefully before choosing to do so. read more

Very classy place. Service was great. Waiter Cosmo was so friendly and recommended different things on the menu. Prices were very reasonable and food was excellent. Ordered italian antpostio, stuffed sole with real crabmeat. This one of my top 10 italian restaurants in the area. read more

We really enjoyed our meal here. We were visiting the area and the Airbnb we stayed at was just across the street. It's old school NY Italian like it should be... side car of pasta with red sauce on the side of an entree as it should be. Make sure to get dessert. It was so worth it! read more

Great food, great service and well priced. We had the eggplant Parmesan calamari and Italian ricotta cheesecake. All very unique and tasty.

Excellent local Italian restaurant! The staff is amazing and very personable and professional. They make you feel like part of the family. The food is always consistent and fresh. Meats are from Pat LaFrieda and pasta is fresh from Vitamia. The owner goes to the seaport to pick out fresh seafood of choice. The specials are outstanding with usually a large selection. It is by far one of the best restaurants in the area making this my go to for Italian food. I've tried most things on the menu and love their clam sauce, tortellini, parm, artichoke, calamari, chops, branzino, zuppa di, veal, and all dishes with their tomato sauce. read more

Food is served with simple perfection. When you want to have a guaranteed spectacular experience of fine dining in American Italian, you won't be disappointed. Very impressive culinary skill in this Jersey icon. One member of our party ordered the seafood fruita Del Mar, we tried the calamari, and everyone agreed any previous post about this dish have been perfected. Don't miss out on this dish, it's amazing! read more

The service was great. The food was great. What more could you ask for when you walk in you're welcomed by I think the owner and his wife. as far as I'm concerned it's the best restaurant around the freshest fish.! read more

I'm very disappointed that this restaurant no longer makes shrimp balls. The fried calamari and shrimp ball combo was the best thing on the menu, the only reason that I went there. Everything else on the menu is just typical Italian food that you can get anywhere. Very disappointing. will have to go to NYC to Vincent's. read more

Best in the bizz. We only get the patsy spicy sauce with seafood. Or the sweet patsy sauce. Always get extra sauce! Its almost like a tomato paste sauce. It has such depth of flavor and the portions are large. Zucchini is always tasty app. We love coming here read more

Was there with my family for a repass and the staff was absolutely amazing and friendly and very attentive, the food was delicious and amazing as always. Dealing with a difficult time, the staff and owner took the stress of planning the repass and handled everything. Definitely a family friendly place. Will be going back again. read more

Met up with some friends and it was a great evening. Hung out for almost 4 hours. Great friends and great food. A little expensive for me but the food is as amazing. Service was great and obviously the Godfather soundtrack playing in the background set the ambiance. Will be going there again. read more

Came here for New Year's Eve and it wasn't packed which should speak for itself. The food was subpar. We had calamari and stuffed mushrooms to start- four small mushrooms for $15 and barely cooked calamari with luke warm dipping sauce. Prices for beverages were not on the menu and with $3 no refill fountain sodas and $30 sangria pitchers I think this is warranted. A soup ordered as an appetizer came out AFTER entrees, which took over 30 minutes, and the server and manager looked at me like I had three heads when I told them I didn't want it. The entrees were all subpar- starchy pasta, room temperature proteins, and an over lack of flavor. Dessert cocktail prices were not on the menu, with $15 Irish coffees another huge miss on the part of management. Gratuity was automatically added, also not written on the menu, as was a credit card surcharge, again not put in writing. Between the lack of transparency and honesty and lackluster food, I would have to be crazy to ever come back here. read more

I can't even begin to explain how wonderful our experience was here. The waiter we had was very attentive and suggested us some amazing options from wine down to desert. I have to say my favorite dish here is the bruschetta I have never tasted one like it, The quality of the food is worth the price! I ended up ordering the filet mignon and I tend to be pretty picky with my meats and if I don't like it I won't eat it, but I ended up enjoying the whole thing. High quality, soft meat, and flavorful items this place had not one bad quality I can see. If you're looking for a your next place to try I highly recommend here! read more

AMAZING EVENT SERVICE! We can't say enough about how AMAZING the service, staff and venue was for our event. It was my girlfriend's mother's 88th birthday and everything was so on point that there wasn't one negative issue or comment from ourselves or our guests. Nothing but positive reviews from everyone. Manny, the owner, was accommodating in every way. I didn't get their names but our 2 waiters were attentive, entertaining yet very professional. And the bus service was so prompt we hardly noticed how quickly plates and glasses were collected. Allowing us to have a mariachi band (which every other restaurant said no) and the connection to hook up our iPhone for music in the room was such a bonus and the great sound system added to the enjoyment! Oh, by the way, the food was flawless in presentation, service and variety. The Chicken Francaise, Salmon and Veal Parm were all "delicioso"! We cannot recommend Patsy's enough for your next event. We know it won't be our last! read more

Me and my girlfriend had reservations for her birthday to this place and we got there early and we decided to wait in the car a few minutes. After about 3 minutes some guy claiming to be the owner came out of the restaurant to our car and told us to leave. I said why and then he began to yell at us about how we're not on the reservation list and how he's the owner and we can't park here. Then as we were leaving he spat on the car. I'm not one to play the race card but it felt really racist. Horrible experience we didn't even get inside the restaurant. read more

12/24/2023 We had Christmas Eve Dinner at Patsy's. Reservation was handled perfectly. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Our table was located in the large room located to the right of the entrance. The table we were seated at had several used dishes on it. I asked a wait person to remove them and he did. The music volume (speaker system) was so loud that we could not hear ourselves speak nor could our waiter hear us. Upon asking , the volume was lowered. Our waiter did not speak very good English. Difficult to understand. Also, he explained to us that he had one month waitperson experience. This was evident as he did not know what wines were available by the glass and he was unsure of our cocktail orders. We had to send the drinks back as they were incorrect. He did say that the bartender was very busy and service could be slow. Moving on, the Calamari and Shrimp Platter for $32.95 was very small and overcooked. The entrees were OK but overpriced. We did not have dessert. This is not the Patsy's that I remember from the original address. There the service was excellent and so was the food. Not so much at this address. Needless to say, we probably won't return to Patsy's anytime soon. DD read more

I wanted Italian food and found this place on Yelp. My ratings are from 1-10. 1 being the lowest, 10 the highest. Service and staff: 10- the servers and staff were friendly. They accommodated us with a positive attitude. Food: 4- I wasn't very impressed. The beef was bland. Their raviolis were also bland. However, their garlic and baby clams were very good. Except they gave a lot of empty shells. Did they eat the clams before they brought the plate out? Smh! I recommend not to order the calamari, it's bland, soggy, and chewy. Not very good. Pandemic precautions: 9- tables were sanitized after every guest. Most staff and servers wore mask. Overall, this place was a miss for me but...they get a good amount of traction. I say, feel free to check it out for yourself. Good luck! Eat and live well! read more

PATSY'S is an iconic venue for traditional Italian dishes with excellent service, ample parking and a sense of family and friendship. I attended a catered private party today and could not be happier with the selections of sausage and peppers,meatballs,pasta, salmon, chicken Marsala and a hearty salad as well as shrimp and other specialties served to those in attendance. PATSY'S offers a true environment that is Italian-American in every way. This is a new locale from the original and they have a beautiful property with ample parking tastefully decorated with a large banquet room and great photos of famous Italian-Americans like Marciano, La Motta and Sinatra as well as notable New Jersey personalities too! The waiters also offer shrimp and other specialty items and you got the feeling many in attendance were regulars and happy to dig in! If you're in the North Hudson/East Bergen area, give PATSY'S a try! You will be very satisfied with the quality of the cuisine and the friendliness of your hosts. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Been dining here for over 25 years. Same waiters and the food is consistently the same tasting.

Went there for my birthday. Not only was the food amazingly rich with flavor but the service was excellent. I think I found my new spot for Italian dinner. Thank you so much Gus for your attentive service. You made our big family night out a smooth and enjoyable experi read more

When I get a craving for hearty traditional Italian dishes Patsy's is the place I end up. The portions are generous, the service is excellent, the prices reasonable with great food. They have a unique spicy sauce that goes well with various seafood appetizers, fried calamari, shrimp, and fried shrimp balls, which are a must try. My personal favorite appetizer is the fried cheese with the aforementioned spicy marinara. For entrees you cant go wrong with any parm, eggplant, chicken, veal, all excellent. They make a spectacular seafood fra diavolo with an amazing amount of seafood in a delicious light red sauce, I mix a lil of the spicy marinara into this as well for a little kick, try it you wont be dissapointed! Ok I gave you all the secrets go try for yourself! read more

My husband and I went here last week for my birthday. The ambiance was very nice, and the meal was delicious. I have been wanting to come here for awhile, and haven't had the opportunity. We ordered a clams appetizer, and they were simply amazing. Thinking of them now makes me hungry. For my entree I ordered a sausage and broccoli rabe special, once again DELICIOUS. My husband also enjoyed his shrimp dinner. The only negative is that they only take debit or AMEX cards. read more

How have I not reviewed this classic? It's a three generation family staple! We adore their food. Our typical order includes mussels in marina with capellini beans to start. We then do an entree of steamed Calabr in sweet sauce. They always are great making us gluten free pasta - and before it was a trend would happily make what we brought! Extended (non gluten-free family members) love their fried calamari as well. Their spicy sauce is also fabulous. Since moving to this location it is a bit louder, but so much nicer. Summers on the patio have served many a family generational meal! read more

Food is still good here but was very disappointed to find that they've raised the prices by 20% on almost every dish. For example, the linguine and clams used to be $15 and now it's $19.95. The shrimps fra diavolo used to be $19.95 and is now $24.95. I understand the need to periodically raise prices but to jump a whopping 25% is plain greedy. Sorry. We will be frequenting this place much less because of the huge price jump. It's a shame. We walked in for dinner and there was only one other table present. It's not a good sign. Customers will notice when their bills are 25% higher than normal. read more

My family and I have been coming to Patsys for years. It is our family's favorite Italian Bistro. We are always greeted warmly by the staff and the food is delicious!

My wife gave me a surprise birthday party at Patsy's Bistro yesterday, a wonderful time was had by all, this restaurant is the definition of being treated like family, whether seated in the main restaurant or the large banquet room or the beautiful outdoor veranda, you can't go wrong, the food is always top quality with the freshest seafood and unique "old school" dishes, service is always five star, thank you for a great birthday! read more

How have I lived my entire adult life in the area and NEVER BEEN to Patsy's??? I am so glad I finally was able to enjoy it tonight. We ordered the arugula salad, stuffed mushrooms and baked clams for appetizers. Everything was absolutely fresh and delicious!! For entree, we ordered the penne Bolognese for my boys and they ate it all up! A true first!! We also ordered the tortellini carbonara and the shrimp Fra Diablo. All I can say is that the pastas were so fresh and the sauces were so flavorful! We were stuffed but had to order dessert- pistachio gelato and the raspberry sorbetto. Did not disappoint. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will DEFINITELY be back!! read more

First time eating here for my husband's bday. The service was good and the food and drinks were delicious. We had to ask for water 3 times but finally did get it. The outside is lit up very nice. They don't have a cocktail menu, but I reccomended the lemon drop Martini! One suggestion for the restaurant would be to put nosiy children towards the corner of the room, and try some live music like jazz! read more
