   tried this place for the first time, we were seated immediately and ordered cocktails. aperol spritz and negroni, both were good and reasonably priced. we wanted to try a few things and ordered a margherita pizza and gnocchi to start. my wife ordered the chicken scaloppine and i had the branzino. we asked for the gnocchi & pizza first and then the entrees. the gnocchi came out first and was plentiful and flavorful. we waited for the pizza while enjoying our cocktails. the wait for the pizza continued and before that our entrees were served. following that we cancelled the pizza. our server who said it was her second day apologized for not putting it in. having finished my cocktail i asked to see what wine was available and our server returned with the menu. i told her what i wanted and waited for it to be served. i started in on the branzino and hoped the wine would arrive in time for me to have it with the meal. similar to the situation with the pizza it never arrived. our waitress cleared our plates and boxed the remainder of the chicken and returned with the dessert menu. i informed her we were not having dessert. she returned a while later with our bill and it included both the pizza and the glass of wine. we politely asked her to adjust the bill and was surprised i didn’t receive the wine. not sure why she reacted that way since there was no wine glass on the table. to sum things up with everything considered, we enjoyed the cocktails and the gnocchi, the entrees were carefully prepared and reasonably priced, but the lack of attention by the waitress was not something we could overlook. the place has a great vibe which should appeal to the younger crowd which was well represented at the surrounding tables. i don’t completely blame our waitress and when something like this occurs normally management gets involved but they could have cared less. it’s a one and done for us.

   This is the best Italian food in the NY/NJ. This is not Italian-American. This is real Italian food. If you’ve been to Naples than this place will feel very familiar

   Food was very good, but would not go back because i felt like we were bothering the wait staff. They were not welcoming at all.

   Every time, the food is the star. The pizza is the most authentic Neapolitan pizza I’ve had in the USA, and I lived in Naples. The menu is fantastic, the desserts are insane. The service is attentive.

   We arrived early for our reservation but were seated right away. The service was very attentive but not overbearing. Our appetizer was a Caprice salad. It was very fresh and well-seasoned. The main courses came out hot and delicious. Our leftovers were packaged by the wait staff and brought to our table. We were thanked and wished a good night by the staff on the way out of the restaurant. A very nice place and I highly recommend it.

    If you want the best pizza in the country go to Song E Napule. There is no better. They make you feel like family and the food is fantastic.
