    I found this place awhile ago, a woman in my town makes amazing homemade cheesecakes and recently started selling them here. Checked out the shop on Yelp and the food also looked very delicious and was on a mission to try this place out the next time I was in Hackensack. I would consider this place a gourmet Italian coffee shop. Sounds weird but it is just beyond amazing. They have pasta there for sale that I believe is imported from Italy which I decided to take home a bag for myself. They also have Italian beverages and jars of marinated vegetables they sell. I tried it out for the first time yesterday, I went in wanting this pasta and the owner was working, he told me he only does pasta specials on Wednesday but offered to whip me up something if that's what I wanted which I thought was really nice of him to offer! I didn't want him to go through all that just for one dish so I decided to try the chicken Parmesan and my husband ordered a chicken cutlet. The bread was SO FRESH and the sauce was made to perfection, I was amazed at every bite I took. I also tried my husbands chicken cutlet and it was also outstanding. We finished our meals and then decided to have some of that homemade cheesecake (which I already knew would be delicious) and some coffee. The owner was very genuine and kind and we enjoyed talking to him. Great service great food. Easily 5 star worthy and I already can not wait to return.

    Such a warm friendly atmosphere

    A great find 2 blocks from the NJ Courts in Hackensack. If you have jury duty (like I did) or simply in the area this is a great place to visit. I had the roasted eggplant panini and it was large and superb. They roast eggplant with a crushed garlic and some fine oil, and layer it with tomatoes and mozzarella. I enjoyed their espresso while I caught up on work in a friendly quiet environment. It's obvious the owner (show in photo) puts in his all!

    I was around the area and wanted to take a coffee break and found this place through Yelp. They have street parking. Once I entered in, it had a really chill and welcoming vibe. Was gonna just get a regular coffee but ended up getting the iced mochaccino. It was delish. Place is fairly priced. If your around the area and need a coffee break, this is def the spot.

    I asked surprise me with something healthy no carbs. I got this crazy good meal!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about this amazing place. What a find!!! A little coffee and food cafe run by a very passionate guy of Italian decent. The food is ALL fresh and done well. Nothing outrageous or fous fous. Simple and tasty fresh food like you'd expect from an Italian farmhouse kitchen of an old fabulous grandma. I said I didn't want to eat heavy or big so surprise me with a grilled chicken and salad something. I got the most wonderfully seasoned fresh grilled chicken breast. The salad was ridiculously fresh mixed greens with marinated mixed mushrooms, marinated grilled onions and sundried tomatoes. The vinaigrette was homemade from the tastiest vinegar. I don't know what kind of vinegar it was but it had a fruity mild tang without the rough bitterness of your typical vinaigrette. To be honest it tasted like my dad's homemade sherry vinaigrette that rocks and I haven't had in years. The grilled veggie sandwich was delicious on the freshest tastiest focaccia. And that ziti and braciole. Do you see that braciole? If that doesn't look like an authentic Sunday gravy braciole then you didn't grow up in an Italian house like I did. The sauce was bright and tomatoey. But that's just the food. There is a very extensive coffee menu and while we didn't have any, no doubt it is amazing too. The vibe is fantastic. They have a friendly little seating area with seats and a sofa as well as table seating. I could go to this place to sit and eat and hang out every day! And I didn't even get to the food he sells. Jars of marinated veggies and a whole host of speciality flavored panettones for Christmas. Yes I stocked up. This is a new favorite. Go. Trust me.

    Tiramisu and Double Espresso

    Hidden gem in Hackensack - lovely Italian coffee shop that serves strong, aromatic espresso, not the watery stuff you would get elsewhere. The owners are very amicable and true to their craft. The tiramisu was okay but perhaps i will try a different dessert next time. I look forward to visiting again. There's plenty of seating to converse with friends or settle down with a laptop.

    I loved this cute coffee shop. There is fast wifi, plenty of seating, and great food and drink! I tried the Caprese Salad which was very fresh and tasty! The latte was also very strong and well made. It definitely tasted like the coffees I've had in Italy. The service is very relaxed and low key. I felt very welcomed and comfortable.

    If you're looking to support a small business coffee shop, Coffee Break needs to be your top choice. This little cafe has quite the ambience and should be your next go-to morning spot. I got the Bacio which was very tasty and perfect for your Instagram feed. The Egg Frittata with bacon and cheese was also freshly made and a nice food option to go with my coffee. Definitely recommend if you're in the Hackensack area.

    Nutellino
    Nikki E.

    I order a coffee drink. I want to try something different which is Nutellino. This drink has a mixture of Nutella, whip cream, and espresso. This place is a good spot where you can grab a coffee and study spot for college people to come by.

    Breakfast Panini

    Friendly service, great coffee and breakfast panini. Panini was much bigger than I expected and so good. I like the fact that most casual places like this would probably serve the coffee in a paper cup but here it was in a real mug. Nice. I couldn't resist the orange Nutella crepe! So good!

    Nutellino
    Nick C.

    Stopped by for a coffee break with my good friend, Jabriel J. It's an Italian coffee shop, with cute artsy decor and seating. Unfortunately, they close pretty early. The guy running the place seemed pretty unenthusiastic on a Wednesday afternoon, but he wasn't a dick either. They have free Wi-Fi, and a pretty limited food menu. I can imagine this would be a good spot to study or do work if they would stay open past 5:30pm. I got their Nutellino, which was basically a cup of espresso, lined with Nutella, topped with whipped cream. It was a decent drink. I like the spot

    First off Marco and Dominick are the sweetest. Their hospitality goes above and beyond expectations. Place is clean and cozy. Favorite on the menu is the nutellino! So delicious and chocolatey!! Fridays and Saturdays they make dinner which We are looking forward to having! They definitely have us as a customer.

    Nutella and Banana Crepe - Tasty!

The capellini is a blend of primarily angel hair and sweet sausage. Simply add a touch of parmesan cheese and you'll be in heaven. I usually eat cheese filled ravioli with marinara sauce, but the chef put an excellent twist to this dish! The food preparer has given a new meaning to ravioli by altering the filling and the sauce making it tastier. On a slightly constructive note, I enjoyed the tartufo but it's basically a pricey version of a Klondike bar with a cherry in the middle. However, their cakes are out of this world. The tres leches and chocolate mousse has the perfect amount of sugar and consistency. Sweets like these are the reason why there are two "s" in dessert; you'll always crave seconds! From appetizer to dessert, you'll dine like a king in a suburban palace. Be sure to go the full distance with a three course meal! #italianrestaurant #njfoodie #ravioli #calamari

Located on the busy West Pleasant Avenue in Maywood, my partner, our friends, and I decided on Amici's, translated from the Italian meaning "friends." Upon arrival for some of us as first-timers at this family-owned BYOB neighborhood establishment, we were greeted by the staff and got a table for 5 inside one of the dining rooms by the window for a celebratory dinner. Outside dining is available, weather permitting. Their menu features authentic Italian staples such as wood-fired pizzas, classic pasta dishes, and homemade comfort food. As appetizers, we decided on the Rice Balls with vodka sauce. For our main meal, we opted for the Flounder Francese, Eggplant Parmigiana (one with spaghetti and another with linguini), Paccheri with Seafood, Roma Pizza, and Tossed Salad. Some meal accompanied by a side salad. Complimentary bread began our meal. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. One can tell they take pride in their ingredients and preparation. The pasta especially deserves all the hype, rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were healthy and suitable for a second meal. The prices were reasonable. The owner, Rosario, would personally visit each table for small talk. The entire staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our experience special; our server was Dawne. So, the next time one sits down to eat, take a moment to appreciate the experience. Savor the flavors, yes, but also relish the connections that form across the table. In a world that sometimes feels divided, food serves as a reminder of our shared connections. This is exactly how a business needs to be run; therefore, we highly recommend Amici's to anyone looking for true back-home dining.

    So, the comfort that I didn't quite find at my hotel? I found it here -- at an Italian restaurant…read more I wasn't so much in the mood for Italian food as I was for patio/al fresco dining and something delicious to drink. The food was an afterthought (initially). At Aumm Aumm, it (the food) became the main story. My rideshare dropped me off and I thought, 'This will do.' A large patio in the late spring sun was just what I needed. I walked in and said I was a party of one and I wanted to eat outside. Done. Soon, a very chatty and kind waiter was taking good care of me and offering a glass bottle of still water.* As I am wont to do, I ate in waves: appetizer and main course (and, if I have the room/interest, dessert). A drink and a solid. A began my meal with the burrata. Rarely can you go wrong with a ball of cheese but this was a silky, milky sphere of mozzarella, served with oranges, toasted walnuts & topped with truffle honey. Truffle honey. I tried to pair every bite with cheese, citrus, nut, and honey and each time I was successful, my mouth sang. To accompany my chews, my waiter suggested Rancoli Vermentino, a dry white with a crisp finish and enough adjacency to the fruit components of the burrata to make it make sense. Lovely. I forgot that I was in Jersey. For my main, I had a GF version of the pennoni alla genovese napoletana - slow-cooked caramelized onions & diced beef pasta. Simple but incredibly flavorful (which, I've learned, is what Italian food is all about). The plate was large and I could smell it before I saw it (a very good thing). To help bring the dish to life, my waiter suggested a warm red blend (earthy, cherry/berry forward). He was correct on the type of wine but I was a bit disappointed in the price point. Believe me, I know the ins and outs of the restaurant biz, but this glass should have been (at least) a couple of dollars cheaper (knowing what I could get a bottle for). This slight faux pas lessened my rating to a 4. Not the end of the world. Just know what you're paying for before committing. I was pleasantly full so I passed on dessert/coffee. Th NJ sales tax was less than I was used to but the dreaded credit card charge fee made an appearance. I probably spent more money on dinner than I would at present but I don't regret the experience. I slept very well that night. *There was a charge. Know before you go.
