    Sausage, peppers & onions.

    Daily specials are consistently good quality. The soup is like grandma made! The prices are reasonable for the size portions you get! Staff is friendly & accommodating. Early hours only, they close in the afternoon. A huge variety of (charmingly named for local streets) sandwiches on excellent Italian bread. They also offer delicious cannolis in 2 sizes. Plus they offer an array of Italian imports for purchase. A small parking lot is available in the midst of the big construction project. It's a quick turnover so there's always a few spots available. You can dine in the large space in comfort as well as take out.

 now that's a Sangwich

    This place is amazing. My office orders from here at least once a week now. Super friendly & professional people working there & on the phone. Prices are great for the quality & portions ( = Value) Full line of cold cuts \ deli meat and side orders. Packed Italian heroes, perfectly pressed panini, both using the best bread. Very good salads too. But check out the Specials! What Italian deli has creative items like this (AND for $16 or less!) --Flounder with fig & raisin stuffing in a mango habanaro sauce with veggies and a side. Great dish! Nice portion Just a tinge of heat balanced by all the sweet ingredients. --Sweet potato gnocchi (pasta) with shiitake mushrooms and a light sherry wine cream sauce. And if you think you know what an Italian Jersey "Sangwich" is..take a look at the picture. --The Broadway- Capicola, Prosciutto, Soppressata, Provolone, Roasted Red Peppers & Balsamic Vinaigrette ( Mama Mia!) And don't forget to grab a cannoli too for dessert! Ciao!

    This place is definitely a gem.. they catered my daughter's communion party and everything was amazing! My guests couldn't stop raving about the food!

    This place is a hidden gem! If you're looking for a delicious deli sandwich...this is the place to go to! Came here for lunch the other day and thoroughly enjoyed it! There's two places to order depending on what you want. There's a section for ordering sandwiches and then a section for ordering fresh Italian entrees. I had ordered a roast beef with fresh mozzarella sandwich on a roll. It was delicious! You can taste the freshness of all the ingredients in every bite. The roast beef and mozzarella are made fresh daily! They also have a variety on sandwiches on their menu with Jersey City based names. Definitely worth trying for my next visits!!!

The server we had, along with the runners we had, were all quite lackluster and seemed to just want to turn the table quickly. For a place with so much buzz and good pizza to back it up, one would think that the servers would be more excited or happier to work there. Foodwise, the pizza is good - they really deliver on the quality of the ingredients. Excited to try a new restaurant, my party of two ordered 3 pies (their pies are slightly larger than personal pies and eats light). The dough to the pizza is top notch. The pizza is thin but has a good chew to it and I appreciated that the roll of the dough is slightly different depending on what toppings they're holding. For example, the burrata (which was more like stracietella and not burrata) was thinner than the funghi that had heavier toppings. The flavor of the pizzas were well balanced. The shaved onions on the Funghi and Santo pie gave the flavors a lot more depth than other mushroom and sausage pies at other pizzerias. The pies itself ate light and were fluffy with a slight chew, which we really liked. I also like that the dough was seasoned and flavorful. The salad was disappointing though. The $18 kale Caesar was not only bland but the kale was rough and tough. It needed some more massaging to tenderize the leaves. While it was dusted with a good amount of parm, you couldn't really taste anything as it lacked salt and acid. The meatballs were ok. They had good flavor and were tender; perhaps a little too tender? The sauce was excellent but the meatball itself was missing just a little texture. All in all, Razza is a solid 3.5 - I prefer better service from restaurants that charge $25+ for personal size pizzas. Should I be in the neighborhood, we may give it another go, but there are certainly places with the same or better quality of pizza and better service through the other side of the tunnel.

Laico's is in that class of restaurants that exist unto themselves, in a neighborhood rather than a typical city district, with the look and feel of a home. The kind of place you go to really understand where you are. The salad is charming, the bread a little stale. The eggplant parm fills the entire plate in 3 layers, an excellent rendition. The accompanying linguine plays nicely. Great service. The chicken piccata is also perfectly executed. We dined nearly alone in the back (save for a local, possibly family, table). On leaving another couple in front remarked "oh, so we're not the only ones here." It might seem dodgy to get to; you might have second thoughts when you walk in to find it pretty empty.

For my main course, I ordered Chicken Parmigiana which came with salad. The dressing made the salad a little soggy. The chicken was very tender and the sauce had great flavor.

There's just something about them that you can't recreate. Yesterday, my buddies and I were supposed to hit The Belmont Tavern, but they were closed for the week. Rather than scrap the plan, we pivoted to Matthew's Italian Restaurant at the suggestion of one of the guys in the crew. What a great find. We were pleasantly surprised that an old school spot like this had somehow escaped us all these years. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for, the staff was awesome, and most importantly, the food delivered. We came out swinging with Clams Oreganata, Meatballs, Stuffed Mushrooms, Mozzarella Carrozza, and two different types of Ravioli. Needless to say, the table filled up pretty quickly. For dinner, most of the crew went with either the Veal Parm or Chicken Parm. A nice touch is that they'll do the parm with vodka sauce if you want to switch things up. I went with the steak special and had absolutely no regrets. Dessert was on point too, but I'll leave a little something to your imagination. Great food, great service, great old school atmosphere, and exactly the kind of Italian restaurant I'm always looking to discover. Matthew's is officially on our list now. We'll definitely be back soon.

While the inside of the restaurant isn't large (note they have a larger back patio area as well) it's cozy and parties of two may share a larger, communal table which can be a nice way to make friends should you choose. As others have noted it's a BYOB place with a convenient local wine-shop just a minute or two nearby. The menu changes regularly though we got many of the classics that have stayed on the menu (only missing the Angry Chicken which we'll get next time). The pastas were delicious though I wish the rigatoni was a bit saucier and really enjoyed the ravioli which had a lighter, mid-summer flavor with some pine-nuts for extra texture. The ricotta bread and honey was tasty though a large portion for two people and we felt that the standout was the halibut. My only complaint is the 3% mandatory card-processing fee (which at least is prominently displayed).

Both were great and cooked perfectly. The quality of ingredients were a standout in both of the dishes. Pork pampanella was the most tender pork I've ever had. Basically melted in your mouth. Very fatty and heavy (a little too heavy...) but delicious. 4.5/5 overall. Some of the dishes were missing a little something to take it all the way but I'd still recommend this spot tho. Also it's BYOB!
