Best Home Cooking Restaurants in Hackensack

It’s been a dream of mine to dine at Joanne’s Trattoria and it did not disappoint! The most amazing, homey and nice restaurant. The service was very friendly and the food was exceptional! Travelled all the way from Australia and it was my favourite dining experience in NYC. THANK YOU!!

We have driven by this restaurant for a while and finally decided to stop in for a drink and a appetizer on Christmas Eve. We were greeted by friendly Jan who took us to our reserved high top, The menu had been changed to a special limited menu so we decided to have dinner. Had a lobster and burrata appetizer and then lobster ravioli and the salmon. Both were great. While we were eating a husband and wife combo came in and set up for the nightly entertainment. As they walked by us they stopped to introduce themselves and say Merry Christmas. They started playing a mix of Christmas Carols and popular music. Couples were dancing so we did too. The owner came over to say hello as well. We stayed longer for a couple of martinis. Overall a great ;meal, friendly people, and all in all a delightful surprise.

We loved dining with friends at Pizzaiolo! They have a great menu from which to choose. The service is outstanding. The good delicious. We are out-of-towners there but return with each visit to the area. It is a neighborhood gem. A must go-to!
