    The food was delicious. The service and employees were great. The ambiance was great also. And they had a singer/ musician. Everybody should try this place especially when they have a musical guest.

    Edmund took great care of us. Great draft beer selection. Meatballs and artichokes were amazing. The rigatoni was very good. The pizza crust and sauce was great. I should have tried a less healthy pizza. It was good. We will be back.

    First time dining here and it was pretty good. I came as part of a large group (17) so we were split into two tables and it worked out because cousins sat on one side and parents on the other. The food was good, the spicy meatball pizza was definitely my favorite and their appetizers weren't bad either. The service was decent but could've definitely been better, I understand it was a large group but it seems for the table of adults they had to constantly ask for plates, utensils or a refill and at my table they did clear off the area as much as they could but could've been more attentive with refills. Nonetheless, they were nice enough to sing to my sister for her birthday and we all still enjoy our time. It's also great that they have free parking right behind the restaurant because it's on a bit of a busy road. Another restaurant that charges a service fee for credit cards so bring cash if you want to save some dollars.

    Great local spot for a good meal and cocktail. Their fresh salads and pizzas are always a hit. This weekend we were pleasantly surprised to find a new outdoor setup with a big TV and fire pit. We sat indoors by the window and still enjoyed the view of the outdoor TV.

    We were in from CT, googled best food near me, and this little gem popped up . Customer service!! I love a restaurant that is attentive and kind . The food was amazing! I tried Grappa for the 1st time. Interesting taste! Didn't get the pizza, but we ordered a margarita and artichoke with some other veggies. Delicious! The atmosphere was a little different. They had events going on in the dining areas, so seating was limited to 1 community table of about 8 seats or bar seating.

    I order from Vesta on Doordash regularly, and I've visited in person as well. It feels more upscale than you'd expect. The food is pretty expensive, but it's very good. Big enough pizza to get multiple meals for the family. Chocolate PB torte is addicting! We love their meatball pizza with jalapeños as well.

    If you love pizza you need to come here! We love going here it's close by to American Dream Mall so come after shopping! Nice atmosphere with soft music and pizza was so delicious!! Our service was quick too but we were here for happy hour.

    You get to pick the cocktail of the night off their drink menu so go before your event to decide!

    Bareli's in Secaucus makes a fantastic first impression. The restaurant sits on a busy route with…read moreeasy access in and out, and the parking lot is large enough to accommodate many vehicles. The interior is visually impressive: elegant table linens, comfortable leather chairs, and a dining room that looks polished and upscale. When we arrived, what appeared to be the owner was greeting guests at the entrance. Since he was welcoming everyone and dressed differently from the rest of the staff, we assumed he was the owner. It was a great touch and immediately raised our expectations. Unfortunately, the experience did not fully match that first impression. We started with drinks: a glass of wine for me and an Old Fashioned for my wife. As happens too often in restaurants, the stronger drink was automatically assumed to be mine, and the drinks were delivered incorrectly. It's a small detail, but one that reflects attention--or lack of it. Bread arrived quickly, followed soon after by the food. I ordered the gnocchi with meat sauce. The dish was acceptable, but nothing extraordinary. My wife ordered the house seafood salad, which was very good--fresh, flavorful, and easily the best dish we had that night. Our waiter spoke limited English. Once he realized we also spoke his language, the service became noticeably more relaxed and somewhat overly familiar. He immediately tried to guide us toward the most expensive items on the menu. When I declined coffee after dinner, he responded by saying something along the lines of: "Well, that's your choice, but the coffee here is very good," which felt unnecessary. We also had a small issue with the Old Fashioned garnish. The orange peel looked unusual, so we asked for the drink to be replaced. The waiter did replace it, though he first tried to explain that what we thought were worms were simply marks on the fruit peel. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu, which the waiter promoted heavily as the best dessert to try. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver. Instead of the classic layered presentation, it arrived more like a cup full of cream with a few pieces of soaked bread and very little coffee flavor. The issue was not just the dessert itself, but the expectations created when it was described. Bareli's is a beautiful restaurant with a great location and atmosphere, but the service details and execution didn't quite match the level suggested by the setting.

We walked in to a beautifully decorated waiting area and were seating quickly. You could hear the live music playing and it was perfect. Our waiter Nathan R., was welcoming and attentive. The dirty martini was made perfectly and the hand stuffed blue cheese olives were a nice touch over the pre stuffed jar ones. To start we ordered the Burrata Salad. It was delicious. All the ingredients worked well together. For the second course we were floating between the Black Spaghetti and the Lobster Ravioli Special. We wound up going with the special and it was the move. The black inked ravioli, had chunks of lobster inside and hit nicely with the "angry sauce" on top. That bread helped clean that plate up nice. For the mains: 20oz Bone In NY Strip with sautéed spinach. Perfectly cooked to my liking and I loved that it was pre sliced for me. Spinach was lightly oiled and a perfect amount of garlic. Salmon Special - Pumpkin seed crusted with butternut squash. The plate was beautifully decorated and looked fantastic, but as soon as we cut into the salmon it was raw. It was a huge piece of salmon. So I'm sure that's what happened. Picture shown is the under cooked one that was taken back. I did not get a picture of the next. The manager saw immediately as my wife cut into it and we didn't have to say anything. He took the plate back and began making another. The dish came out and it was definitely well done this time. The piece of salmon was a lot smaller than the first. I'm sure it was to cut the cooking time down and get it out asap. The meal was fantastic. Just wish we were able to eat together. It happens. For dessert: Espresso Martini - Perfect. No baileys, 3 beans. Pistachio gelato - fantastic Zeppole - There were 3 different sauces for each one. It was amazing. Our waiter Nathan and the manager were extremely apologetic. They even came out with a complimentary limoncello spirit as we were settling up. I can't wait to dine here again to give Bareli's the 5 star it deserves.

They also have some seating inside, though it feels more like a takeout spot.
