Reviews for II Giardino in Northvale, NJ
This is a small hidden gem. It's a BYOB, food and service are excellent.
The closest version to supermarket/seven 11/ pizza plus cheap can tomato sauce. Any other place is going to be better. Plus, we... employees in bad mood, probably underpaid. Avoid this place for pizza at least! Read more
They have the BEST vodka sauce!! I am a serious NYC foodie and this is one of the best I've had. Nice people, highly recommend
Absolutely fabulous food, great specials, cozy atmosphere and wonderful hospitality! Plus the prices are more than reasonable.
We just had the pleasure of eating at Il Giardino. I called The owner, Lilo and was able to book their dining room for our... family after we had the services for our Mother. He was so caring and patient with our every need. We ran late at the cemeteryand when I called him very stressed out he immediately put us at ease and said ?take your time?the room is ready for youwhenever you get here?. We were warmly greeted when we arrived and shortly after all the delicious appetizers started comingout. Hot and amazing?we couldn?t get over the amount of food and the quality was top notch. Every time you turned around someonewas refilling your coffee, water or asking if you needed anything else. We then had penne vodka and many of us said it was thebest we?ve ever had. A fresh salad followed and then the entrees started coming out. My brother in laws and I all love to cookand we were all loving every bite. This was the perfect place for our family and we sincerely appreciate being treated likecelebrities for the day. We had some of the best Italian food and received the most impeccable service we?ve ever experiencedthanks to Lilo and his wonderful team! We already said this will be an annual event in our Mom?s memory and will be back everyweek for dinner. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience on such a difficult day! Read more
I didn't give it 5 stars only because this was our first visit. I got takeout and it was delicious. The staff was courteous and... helpful. It looks like a pizzeria but it is a restaurant. We ordered shrimp scampi and a special stuffed fillet of soul:fantastic. Plus clams oregenato. These were covered with a wonderful white wine sauce. We will be back. Read more
We enjoyed a wonderful meal in the dining room here. The food was excellent. The owner / staff were lovely & welcoming. I'd... recommend that they work a bit on the ambiance in the dining area - because the food, prices & service are well worth a visit. Read more
Absolutely one of the best pizzas in the area--we took it takeout from the side that's more like a grab-and-go pizza place but... did notice they have a more restaurant-like space as well. Nice staff. Place is a bit run-down on the whole. Very reasonableprices. At some point I want to go back to check out their other food as well. Read more
