Best Seasonal Restaurants in North Bergen

The food was INCREDIBLE. The portions are family sizes; my spouse and I shared an entrée and appetizer, and it was a lot of food. But it was so good. The drinks were great as well. Front desk people were meh, but our waitress and everyone helping around were super nice. 100% recommend.

Our server Fariz (I think that was his name) and the rest of the staff was impeccable. Kind, warm, and attentive. My daughter Eloise (yes, that’s her name) was over the moon!

The pre-theater menu was excellent, I had grilled octopus, hake with broccoli rabe, and sorbet for dessert with the wine pairing. Our sommelier Matthew was fun and informative, offering novel combinations including a mellon liquer with dessert. Oceana is a great alternative to restaurants that are closer to the monster shows but don't offer much novelty or interest for me. We will return!

Becco is an Italian restaurant near the theatre district. While narrow at the entrance, it extends room after room to the back. Service was prompt and sensitive to theatre show times. Tables are very close together, but since everyone is there to eat and enjoy, it only presents a problem to the claustrophobic. Appetizers were generous and very well presented. The special - lasagne Bolognese - was well put together, flavorful and rich. Even the bread and olives, put out early were top notch. The wine list is broad, but the pours for individual servings were generous. Unless you plan to finish a whole bottle, one glass should be ample. We didn't get desserts, but the dessert menu was tantalizing. Next time. Service was first rate. If you plan on going, I would advise reservations in advance, which we did. Wait times when we got there were over an hour, and on an early Thursday evening. This is good classic Italian cooking, well-presented and customer focused.

Amazing experience at the Marshall. Small and cozy with excellent service and delicious food. Would definitely recommend.
