Biagio’s has become our go-to spot for romantic dinners, and for good reason. My wife and I had our wedding reception at The Terrace last year, and every time we dine here, it takes us right back to that unforgettable night. The food, the atmosphere—everything is just as amazing as we remember. 10/10, highly recommend!

For Valentines Day, they used one of their catering rooms as overflow for the restaurant. It was nicely decorated, less crowded and much quieter than the main dining room. I heard some people complain about it. I was very happy in that quieter room.

Not sure what took me sooo long to come here?????? Best Italian food I’ve had in the north Jersey area hands down my husband agreed. The chicken cutlets were phenomenal! I got the chicken parmigiana it was to die for! My husband got the penne ala vodka with chicken cutlets he wanted to go back the next night LOL. The service was AWESOME he was so attentive to us I cannot wait to come back. The starter tomato bread basket was awesome as well! I think we devoured it before I got a picture LOL

The food was good. At least most of it. An order of seared scallops was undercooked and inedible. The fettuccine carbonara was good. Tasty. Pasta cooked perfectly. The room soon got very noisy. Understandable for a Saturday night but a foursome next to us had zero indoor voice. Ear piercing. Not the restaurants fault. However our sever was a no show. He never got my son’s soda. Never checked on us. Never refilled any water. After ordering our food the only other time we saw him when the food got delivered to the table. While he was doing so, I asked him to please refill the water and to get my son’s drink. He said OK. Once the food was delivered, he then asked me if there’s anything else so he can repeated it as if I never said it before. He looked at me and said OK and never came back. I had to ask a server at another table to please refill our water. I will go back again, but I would hope for better service.

Hello Mike. Thank you for your visit with us this weekend. Yes, I remember the table next to you and apologize for their comically loud volume. We were a bit understaffed, so I'm sorry for the server's lack of attention to your table - that should not have happened. I'm glad that most of the table enjoyed their meal and I hope to see you again soon.

First time here on t he restaurant side. The food was delicious. I had the grilled Scottish Salmon. It was cooked perfectly and came with a side of sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes. The waiter was very attentive. The interior was very appealing. There were a lot of people there for a Thursday night, as the night went on the bar area became more crowded however the noise level was not overbearing into the restaurant. I will definitely return here for another meal in the future.

Lousy. Very inattentive service and disappointing that on top of it a tip was added for party of 6. Pizza available in bar but got a hard no in the restaurant for my 15 yr old son . Fifth visit, will definitely not be a sixth. Too many other great options in the area.
Biagio'sResponded on 19 January 2025
Hello Micah. Yes our bar and dining room areas have different menus for a different crowd and atmosphere. Except on rare occasions, we do not serve pizza, burgers and other items for dinner in our dining room. We are happy to serve that in our bar or our lounge area. While we try our best to be flexible with modifications to our menu to accommodate our customers, there are some in-house rules that we generally don't break.
