Best Authentic Restaurants in North Bergen

Just excellent food, drink and service from Serra. Tiramisu is the best. Spaghetti and steak also so delicious.

This cozy spot on the lower east side is very trendy with its gem named cocktails and seasonal menus. It is clearly incredibly popular as tables turn over quickly and there is never an empty seat. The food comes quickly and is deeply flavorful. The menu consists of dishes that can be harder to find, even in a cultural hub like NYC. I do wonder if lunch service is a little less bustling as at times I found it difficult to hear my dinner partner. I also wish they would tell you about the QR code for the food menu as it is on a physical drinks menu and that’s a bit confusing. Overall I’m glad I made it to Soothr and look forward to trying their sister restaurant Sappe soon.

We ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, Tartufata, and Margherita Pizza, and each dish was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Also, Nutella calzone was so tasty. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant experience. The outdoor seating is a standout feature, offering a cozy and charming ambiance, especially during the Christmas season with all the festive decorations. It's a great spot to enjoy a meal while soaking in the holiday spirit. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the atmosphere!

This is my go to place whenever I am in town. The ambience is warm, cozy and charming. The food is amazing and the service is excellent, always. The manager, who is incredibly knowledgeable about wines, makes each diner feel welcome and at home. This special touch is a rarity in New York! Make a reservation days in advance, walk-ins impossible. I’ve tried.

Our server, Kara, was amazing!!! So warm and friendly, she definitely enhance our lunch during what seemed a busy afternoon at the restaurant. Will be asking for her next time we’re back!
