When deciding on a name for our new cafe, we wanted to pay tribute to our family's homeland. Our Family originates from Naples, Italy which has an area code of 081. One day during a family discussion, someone made this connection and the 081 Cafe was born.

Our family in Naples has a long history of opening premier eateries servicing their local communities with some of the friendliest atmospheres, serving the finest old-school dishes from generational family recipes.

Now in our third generation in America, our family proudly continues the tradition of providing delicious cuisine to local communities. Whether you choose Authentic Old-School Pizza cooked in an imported Brick Oven, a delectable Italian Dish or a savory Dessert, we promise to put all our passion and experience into every moment at our 'Cucina Italiana'...the 081 Cafe!

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
081 Cafe is a charming BYOB spot offering delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. The short rib pasta is "amazing," and the calamari is "cooked perfect." While service can be slow during busy times, the staff is accommodating. Perfect for date nights or group outings, it's highly recommended.

    Very inattentive service. No menus after we were seated, same as other tables around us. Took 20+ minutes to be able to get an order in. 30 before our wine was opened. Food was not nearly good enough to make up for the service. Chicken parm was ok but pizza was very soggy. Literally could not pay with a credit card because our server refused to come back to the table. Glad I had cash to drop so I could finally leave.

    First visit to 081 Cafe. Food was terrific and service was professional, attentive and experienced. Homemade pasta dishes were authentic and served right from the kitchen piping hot. A bit noisy but that is true for most Bergen County restaurants so can’t really fault them for that. Will definitely be back,

    FIRST TIME THERE. BEING IN A LEMON GARDEN IN SORRENTO WAS PLEASANT. THERE COULD BE MORE SPACE AND IT WAS BUSY AND FELT A BIT OVERCROWDED. SERVICE WAS AVERAGE. FOOD WAS GOOD. I WILL RETURN BUT WHEN IT WAS NOT AS BUSY AS IT WAS VERY LOUD.

    There was 1 waiter for the whole restaurant on a Friday night . Apparently they only have 2 waiters for the restaurant and one was sick . Waited 15 min just for waiter to first come to table and that was only because I asked the bus boy to flag him down. Food was average .

    The food is always incredible. Never had a bad meal. The only issue is the service. You wait and wait for someone to come over and open your wine, and then you have to flag someone down to take your order. There is a lot of down time from the time you arrive, to ordering, to food, to dessert, and then you get the check thrown at you because it is closing time and they rush you out. Maybe get one more server to assist taking care of the customers and then this would be a 4 star all the way!!!!!
