Best Italian Restaurants in North Bergen

The atmosphere was great and we were a large group of 9 seated at a large round table which is perfect for conversations. The food was excellent - in particular the veal chop was amazing as was the branzino. The lemon cheesecake was great and presented in an artistic way. The manager helped during the service and she was outstanding. We would definitely come back!

What can I say…Carmine’s never disappoints. It’s just one of my all time favorites in NYC. Food and service and cocktails were fantastic!

We live around the corner and have been meaning to go here--Valentine's day felt like the perfect opportunity. Once you step in, you're transported away from the casual vibes of the Upper West Side and into an elegant fantasy that reminds you to treat yourself. Notable moments: The service here is perfect--our waitstaff were so kind, efficient, and helpful all the way through. They aren't stuffy and are, in fact, very human, but they provide that upscale service all the same. The food is gorgeous. The Valentine's prefixe was $75 a person. My partner got a plate of calamari as an app that was big enough to share, and the escarole salad I chose was lush and bountiful. Our pasta mains were well-portioned, not to mention al dente and seasoned to perfection. We also received two desserts for the pre-fixe price--both of which felt like gourmet iterations of homestyle favorites. It's kind of like this whole restaurant. The ambiance is relaxed yet upscale. My partner and I are by no means fancy people, and yet, we felt welcome! We saw people of all backgrounds and dresscodes come and go. There's a buzz of conversations around you, but it's not so loud that you can't have a conversation. The only slight discomfort we experienced was that our table was kind of wedged next to another table and the main hallway where the waistaff hung out--we assumed maybe they overbooked for the night and had to make new tables--but it was worth nothing more than a giggle and asmile once we realized. And hardly took away from the experience. Instead, it was a great vantage point for people watching and the perfect place for attentive service.

This was our second time to eat at Quality Italian. We are from Texas and will come back every time we are in the city. Our waitress Natasha was incredible! She went over the whole menu giving her recommendations. She was attentive the entire meal and went above and beyond for us. The food was a 10 out of 10! We had the oysters, Caesar salad (the best one I’ve ever had), filet au Chianti-poivre (the sauce on this is amazing), black truffle cacio e Pepe, pistachio gelato, and Natasha gave us the burnt marshmallow gelato because she said we just had to try it. She was right it was delicious! We left happy and full! 5 stars for Quality Italian!!

It’s such a comfortable spot for a meal before a performance across the street at Lincoln Center. The food, ambiance and service have never disappointed me (us). We are beginning to feel like regulars sitting at our requested table each time. Dining there is another type of performance to enjoy. A class act! It has been around for a while judging from the discolored ceiling tiles.
