First impression of the restaurant, there is a lot of seating and everyone was nice! We didn't know we came for happy hour so that was a happy surprise, we ended up ordering the shrimp app on the happy hour menu and it was DELICIOUS, then we got the spicy rigatoni with grilled and breaded chicken. Also AMAZING! Talk about huge portions, honestly we should have shared (rookie mistake on our part) but the portions for the money is such a good deal. We had a lot of left overs we can't wait to eat this week! We will for sure be back to try everything else on the menu.

My friend who lives in Hoboken gave me a few options for Italian restaurants and Il Taviola took reservations, had space for us, and had a very good menu at decent prices. I had thought I had never been to Il Taviola before. But the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was like, well, actually I have been here before and I just straight up forgot. Woops. Well, it was a pleasant surprise to be back and I actually had an even better time this time than last time. I had the spicy chicken parm with rigatoni and wow, it was actually quite spicy. It was really good, but super spicy! My SFIL absolutely loved it though and killed the rest of my dish that I couldn't finish. Most of the group had the lamb ragu orecchiette and thought it was quite good. Both burrata appetizers were really good and thoroughly liked by the table. Service was attentive and we were never rushed. I really enjoyed that the restaurant wasn't super crowded. There were other tables but they were far away enough that we didn't feel like we were on top of each other.

We ordered several things to share, which I loved because it gave everyone the chance to try a little bit of everything. The pasta was definitely the star of the meal. It was perfectly chewy and cooked just right--not overcooked or mushy. Honestly, the pasta deserved a show of its own! We also enjoyed the focaccia and the bread-and-butter spread, which were both delicious. The chicken, however, wasn't my favorite. If I had to order it again, I probably would have skipped it and just focused on the pasta and other dishes. My cousin also ordered a pizza, and it looked absolutely delicious and filling. There was plenty to go around, and we even had leftovers to enjoy later. Overall, this was such a great find, especially for a group with different tastes and dietary preferences.

Absolute worst food I have ever eaten from anywhere I have ordered from through grubHub. I ordered pasta fagoli, garlic knots, and 2 orders of chicken parm (1 with ravioli & 1 with pasta). The pasta fagoli had about 1/2 inch of grease/oil floating on the top of it and it tasted like pure garlic. The garlic knots were DEEP FRIED and oil soaked. I've never heard of them being deep-fried, they are supposed to be baked! Simply disgusting tasting. One order of chicken parm had some thin frozen-bought chicken patty while the other order had actual chicken tenders. What happened to a nice chicken breast pounded out and baked or fried?!? Further, why are they not consistent with their chicken when 2 people ordered the same thing and received different types of chicken?!? Also requested linguini instead of spaghetti and and that request was completely ignored. I will never order from here again and would recommend against it for everyone else too. I unfortunately won't even attempt to order pizza from here after this bad experience. read more

Last month while running loads through North Jersey, I randomly stopped at Piscitelli Pizza & Pasta…read morein Lyndhurst, Bergen County. It turned into what might be the best pizza experience of my life. I've eaten pizza all over -- Texas, NYC (Upper Manhattan and the Bronx years back), and plenty of places in between since starting my trucking career. Back home in San Antonio we even have a so-called "NYC style" spot like Florio's Pizza, but respectfully, it's not close to what you get in New Jersey or New York. It works when you're hungry, but this was on another level. After this meal, I honestly feel like I'll critique every slice I eat going forward. When you've had the real thing, your standards shift. We walked in not knowing what to expect. Movies tend to paint a certain picture of Jersey, but that stereotype disappeared immediately. The door was opened by a friendly Jersey native who welcomed us in warmly. Being from Texas, I appreciate genuine hospitality, and that's exactly what we received. The same gentleman behind the counter took our order. Once he found out we were from Texas, his face lit up. He was all smiles, courteous, and clearly proud of the food he was serving. The place itself was quaint, quiet, and had that old-school neighborhood feel. It felt comfortable, like somewhere locals return to regularly. I asked what the most iconic or most ordered pizzas were. He mentioned pepperoni, chicken parm, vodka sauce with fresh mozzarella and prosciutto, and we ultimately chose the 18-inch Meat Lovers. We also ordered buffalo wings, cheese balls, and two Mexican Cokes. The pizza was outstanding. Pepperoni, sausage, bacon, plus two additional meats I honestly forgot because I was focused on how good it tasted. The crust was perfectly balanced -- crisp on the outside, sturdy underneath, but not dry. The sauce and cheese ratio was spot on, and the meats were layered in a way that delivered flavor without overwhelming the slice. What really stood out was that the pizza wasn't greasy at all. No oil pooling on top, no soaked-through bottom, no napkins stained orange. Each slice held its structure from tip to crust. Clean bottom. Crisp bite. Flavor forward without feeling heavy. You could actually taste the ingredients instead of just oil and salt. That level of execution makes a difference. The buffalo wings were equally impressive. Hot, fresh, and crispy with the right amount of sauce -- not drowning, not dry. They tasted like they were marinated or at least prepared with intention. They did not feel like a frozen, mass-produced product. They were balanced, flavorful, and cooked properly. The cheese balls were different from what I expected in a good way. Not the typical gooey mozzarella stick experience. These were crispy little balls with a more structured interior -- almost slightly crumbly, possibly incorporating sharper cheeses like Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, or Grana Padano in the coating. Savory and unique. What made the experience even better was the understanding that restaurants are ultimately about people. When you walk into a place, you're experiencing the individuals hired and trained to cook and serve your meal. Not everyone leaving reviews has worked in a kitchen or handled a rush, and that context matters. When I leave a review, it's my honest opinion, and here the staff clearly cared about quality and execution. Starting my trucking career has allowed me to travel and try places I otherwise wouldn't. Some spots are hits, some are misses, and some simply aren't my preference. This was a clear hit. We only had a small window of time while waiting on a nearby load, but it turned into one of the best food stops I've had. The atmosphere, the pride, the quality, and the lack of shortcuts were evident. Late post because driving kept me busy, but this one deserved recognition. Piscitelli Pizza & Pasta delivered one of the best pies I've had in my lifetime. I'll gladly return the next time I'm running through North Jersey.
