    Been hearing about this place for years , very cute place . A hidden gem !!! They have great decor and the drink menu is really good , the food was great as well . Salmon Limone and File of sole oreganata . Was really really tasty . We sat at the bar as we usually do when we go out and the bartender Jackie was such a pleasant and professional lady . We will definitely be back , we enjoyed the quiet and calm atmosphere as well .

    The girls and I got together to get some Italian cuisine. Our reservations was for 7pm. When I arrived I found parking on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted and sat at my table. Our server was Jordan and he was really good and attentive. This restaurant has a great deal for a prefixed menu of an appetizer, entrée and dessert for $24 weekdays. I started out with a red sangria and it wasn't bad. I then had a glass of pinot nior which was pretty good. For my entree I got the jumbo shrimp fiorentina and that was very good. The girls really enjoyed their meals and there was plenty. My bill came to about $41. We had a good experience and I will definitely be back.

    This place had wonderful cocktails and delicious food. We had a prefixed dinner there which came with appetizer entree and dessert with coffee or tea. Very reasonable. Staff was very nice.

    My girlfriend and I came to this restaurant on a Thursday evening, to celebrate our anniversary. Looking online in advance, we really though they had a great 3 course prefix menu. Upon arriving, we chose to sit inside, as it was a hot day. We got a table right away. The atmosphere and decor in this place was very nice. The served unlimited bread with sauce and olive oil too, which i love a place that does this. We started out our first course meal (appetizers), with mussels in white wine sauce and eggplant rollantini. We split everything we ordered, so we could try a bit of everything. I really enjoyed the mussels. They were coocked great and just tasted so good. Then for our main course, we had a chicken parm and coconut shrimp. Both meals were excellent, but the coconut shrimp was just extra amazing. This was my favorite item that we tried all evening. For dessert, we had the tiramisu and creme brulee. Again, both were very good and the perfect way to end a night out. Overall, we really enjoyed this restaurant. We had an awesome time and experience here. Highly recommend.

    Haven't been to the restaurant itself but let me tell you, the delivery was freakin' awesome! The only thing I took a picture of was the chicken entree I ordered. The seafood appetizer with eggplant rollantini was just the perfect mix of calamari, shrimp, clams oreganato, and eggplant rollantini. Will try something else next time.

    Hello, the wonderful staff at my favorite restaurant Americano!…read moreHappy Easter to all! Such meaningful Holiday was celebrated by all this Easter of 2026! The place was packed with well dressed people! It was like one happy family came to celebrate life! My boyfriend and I came for a Sunday brunch! We were there for dinner the night before on Saturday and truly enjoyed the food, especially a lovely surprise- 2 singing guitar players! I could sing along every song they played! I had my favorite antipasto salad, chicken Marsala with mushrooms, my boyfriend had the wedge salad, chicken parmigiana, and for desert we shared the amazing napoleon.. I learned that their pastry chef bakes fresh pastries every morning! I also love the coconut cake - it's amazing! I want to thank everyone who worked so hard to create a special Valentine's party! Every woman received a long stem white or red rose in its own water holder! There were rose petals on the floor and every song played was a Love song! What a lovely touch making every woman so special! I truly felt loved! And thank you for a special Valentine menu, which included heart shaped ravioli, heart shaped pizza, special $8.00 non- alcoholic drinks with little marshmallows in them.. The place was booked for Valentine's! Every table was taken! Dear Americano! Thank you for creating such an amazing place that makes me feel like home every time! I enjoyed the 8 piece Latin band.. I even got to dance a bit.. Keep up the good work! Im grateful to have a place like this right here in Bayonne, practically in my back yard.. I can listen to live jazz without traveling to NYC! Dear Lance! Thank you for such brave idea to create a James Bond/Hollywood style restaurant! Bayonne really needed that! Sometimes when I'm there I get confused, thinking I'm in NY City! And I can actually walk home! Amen! I can't wait for May 19th jazz group - Champion Fulton - a lady jazz pianist who sounds like Billy Holiday, great saxophone player - recording artists from NYC. It's my boyfriend's birthday .. he licked out! Thank you! Sophia

This restaurant is beautiful to visit and you'll feel beautiful just walking in. Parking is valet and easy as can be. Where does that happen in Hudson County? Now, the service and food. I have a very discerning palate and love to cook. I always find something to complain about when we eat out. Well, I have to say, the food at Americano was just perfect. From the exquisite appetizer selection of burrata, oysters (priced well!), fried artichoke hearts, calamari (perfectly breaded), we could not find fault and only oohed and aahed at the deliciousness of every dish. The steak was just out of this world. I was able to cut the steak with my fork it was so tender. Eggplant parmigiana that was absolutely perfect. Do not leave this out of your selections. Oh my God- the desserts. Don't even get me started. The attentiveness and expertise of the servers was what you find in Europe at the finest restaurants. The owner, Lance, was there that night and overseeing everything like a family boss. You could tell the staff adore him and their work. Needless to repeat but, I will. What a lovely evening of old world Hollywood charm topped off with food that will have you feeling like you spent your precious time and hard earned money well. That's a rare gem in today's world. We can't wait to return. (My only regret was that we didn't take enough pictures of the food!)

Staff is very professional and friendly, always making sure everyone is having a good time. Honestly, all the food is great here but some of my favorites are definitely the carpaccio and calamari appetizer (the calamari is the BEST I ever had, hands down) and their coffee panacota for dessert is also out of this world, just amazing! If you are a bread lover just know they make their own bread in house. 5 stars always!

    I went here for lunch today with my husband and brother-in-law. The ambiance outside was very nice…read more It reminded me of the islands. The food, however, is another story. For appetizers, we got zucchini chips, fried calamari and mussels. The calamari was fried too hard and it had a very salty, spicy Chilean type sauce over it. The zucchini chips were thinly sliced, lightly battered with Parmesan cheese sprinkled over them. They were decent but nothing to write home about. In fact, after having about six or seven of the zucchini chips I began to experience heartburn from the grease. For entrees, my husband had the chicken parm. He said it was too thick and should have been flattened more before frying. It was also very breaded. My brother-in-law ordered the chicken and waffles and he said the chicken tasted day old so after having a bite of one piece of the chicken he pushed the chicken aside and called it a day. I called the waiter over and informed him about the chicken tasting day old. He didn't try to change it out or take it off the bill or get a manager. He just apologized by saying I'm sorry. My crab Mac and Cheese was decent. It wasn't seasoned the way I would have liked but the huge, plentiful chunks of crab made up for that. I ate a third of my dish and packed the rest for home where I will doctor it up to my taste. I've never been to this particular restaurant before. The only reason we came today is because my brother-in-law was here on business and staying at a hotel in the area.

I was a bit hesitant to try despite the strong positive reviews, because I also read reviews about it being hard to get a table and they can be rude and its a whole thing and blah blah blah. I am glad I didn't listen to those reviews! It was an amazing experience and Angelina and her son were so nice to us. Yes you have to call up a couple of times to make a reservation and put in your food order, but trust me it's worth it. The decor is nothing like any other restaurants, and the whole experience is nothing like another restaurant. The decor is loud, American and flashy, with an undertone of warmth given by the red and Christmas lights strung everywhere. 4th of July meets Christmas meets Election Day, also somehow it evoked a feeling of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Over the bar area a TV was playing the football playoffs and also a radio was playing jazz and swing music. It's literally like going over someone's house. In a really good way, you feel welcomed and taken care of. Angelina's son pours your glass of wine to the brim and refills your sangria at no charge. He even taught us how to eat the stuffed artichoke after he saw us scooping it on our plate. Instead he said just take a leaf off and suck everything out. Which actually made so much sense and made the experience eating the appetizer much better. I never had a stuffed artichoke before so I can't compare it to anything, but it was a really fun experience eating it and was buttery and delicious. Food came out pretty quickly. The artichoke came out probably just 15 minutes after we sat down. The meals seem to range from 20-40 dollars a dish. I assume the prices fluctuate more than your average restaurant. Which is fine to me, food is more expensive nowadays and these portions are huge and delicious. It's family style! The artichoke was $22, the eggplant parm $30, lasagna $38 and the chicken marsala $40. Glass of wine $10, Sangria $13. Cash only I believe. 3 people could probably share one entree and feel content enough to go home. But we got 3 entrees and an appetizer for 4 people. We have dinner for the rest of the week! Prepare to overeat when you come here. The Eggplant parm was stand-out for me. It was my favorite. The sauce was sweet and light, and the eggplant was crispy and flavorful. The lasagna had a different tomato sauce on it, also good. The cheese in the lasagna was really good as well. There was also a side of pasta handed to us, not sure which dish it was supposed to accompany. It also had red sauce on it, but tasted different from the two other red sauces! That's a real level of detail, make 3 different red sauces when you could just use the same. It's just such good quality food. The bread that was brought out was very good as well, soft, - a good dipping bread! Ask for dessert because the Cannoli was delicious! I want to come back and try tiramisu if they have it. We spent 2 hours here. There were only 2 other tables on a Saturday night. I don't think it's as coveted as it used to be, it's easy to call her. Just find it on google maps and press the call button. I called when the place is closed (before 4:30), because I assume she is busy cooking and attending to the guests during dinner time. Then you just reserve a date and time. She messages you the menu. Though for some reason the text never came through on my phone so I called back and asked if she can send it to my husband's phone number. She did, and we got the menu. I called her back up told her our food order and a week later we sat down and enjoyed our delicious meal! This place is the best, and a really great place to go when your new to the town. They have been here all their lives and know everyone. I felt welcomed and now a true member of the Bayonne community. We will definitely be back.

Cozy and definitely feels like an old school Italian restaurant. Servers are welcoming and super friendly. Attentive but not too attentive. We made a reservation by calling, it was busy but there were still a few tables empty on a Saturday night. The bartender greeted us with a big smile. Honestly this place should be busier it's much better than the other Italian restaurants in town. We started off with calamari. $20. Perfect texture, and flavor. Not too salty, and not chewy at all. It was delicious. I got chicken martini off the specials menu, and it was two thin sliced chicken breasts in a lemon caper sauce with tomatoes and artichokes. It was exactly what I wanted and the chicken was soft, moist and delicious. It's a little pricey for the portion I think it was $34 but it wasn't the biggest plate of food. My husband got a pasta dish that he loved, it was homemade stuffed pasta with spinach and cheese. The menu had a lot of creative dishes on there, not all typical Italian dishes you would normally find. Dinner comes with fried polenta and carrots and broccoli which is a nice touch. There is another Italian restaurant in Bayonne that does that, I haven't seen that done before I moved here. I do like it! It's nice that a side like that is complimentary. And the bread is complimentary as well, it's a big baguette and it was super soft and flavorful but crunchy on the outside, very good for free bread! I also liked how they had two sets of forks so you didn't have to keep your appetizer fork for dinner. They also box the food up in the back so you don't have to do it yourself. Excellent service. I would definitely come back here again.

I loved the fact that it's a small house like,cozy restaurant with a valet parking lot, which makes it even more convenient . I did, however, find parking on the side street and was even a pleasant little walking distance away. Since we were just a party of two, we did not need to reserve a table , but, if you do have a large party of people, you should definitely call and reserve! The restaurant isn't that big at all, so, there might be a little wait time, if you're there at a busy time. We were there on a Saturday night( two people) and waited for about ,not even 10 minutes. However, it's definitely worth the wait! It's a family friendly atmosphere and the service was very good! Very friendly staff and pretty fast service. I loved how it's all bricked wall and just so cozy! I have heard that their Chicken Parm was absolutely amazing and delicious. And so, we ordered the Chicken Parm and comes with side dish of pasta.( I had the linguine). I didn't expect the Chicken Parm to be a pretty big portion, so that made it even better! (Especially, when you're hungry and have been waiting to try this Chicken Parm I've been hearing about. lol!). Since the portion of the Chicken is pretty big, the side dish of the spaghetti, is just PERFECT! It's sauce and cheese is just mouth watering and a must have!! Now,Let's talk about their House Salad! DELICIOUS!! Their house dressing was so tasty and fresh and definitely makes their salads stand out! That homemade tasting bread was also very good and crunchy! I definitely Recommend, trying their House Salad and Chicken Parm! The house salad portion ,was just perfect for two people. As we loved everything about Laicos, and were completely Stuffed, lol! We couldn't leave ,without having and trying their Dessert , which is the Italian chocolate round like ball,stuffed with ice cream! That just made everything ,even better, before leaving for the night! I highly Recommend and must try!!
