My sister recommended Gandolfo for Italian food and, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. From the appetizers to the entree. I had the garden salad, fried calamari which was fried to perfection, light & crispy. For my entree I had the meatballs & spaghetti parm. It was delicious and the portion was plentiful. Great service and a friendly staff. Whenever I am in the North Bergen NJ area, I will visit Gandolfo again.
BEST LOCAL PIZZA IN HUDSON COUNTY!!! This is my go-to spot. Pepperoni slice is my favorite, paired with garlic twist and some mozzarella sticks, hands down one of my favorite meals. Penne vodka and their chicken soup are also top-notch. All around awesome spot. I've been going here for 25 years.
The quality of their food is very consistent! Their linguine with red clam sauce is what I use to judge similar dishes from other restaurants. Oh, and their pizza is very good also.
It was very yummy. The vibes were peaceful, warm and we planned our next time back. Delicious!
Friendly owner and staff, food is good portion and taste good, family vibe love it
