So cozy, reasonably priced but more importantly the food is superb. We got the homemade ravioli with vodka sauce and chicken parm. Delicious and one of the best old school Italian places I’ve ever been to.

This place is a gem! A great bar atmosphere & delicious Italian food! Highly recommend after a show or if you’re looking for a “homey” date night

Four years after my first visit, I can confidently say Barge Inn remains one of the most authentic, consistently outstanding Italian-American restaurants in Jersey City, NJ. Back in August 2021, I called it “Old school classic Italian-American at its best… I will definitely be returning. The food was VERY good and service was prompt and direct.” I’ve returned many times since — and each visit has only reaffirmed that first impression.
This is a place where tradition meets craftsmanship. The kitchen still turns out plates that feel like a warm embrace from another era — hearty, flavorful, and prepared with genuine pride. The Seafood Fra Diavolo is nothing short of exceptional: a bold, perfectly spiced red sauce layered over al dente pasta, brimming with fresh shrimp, mussels, and calamari. The Chicken Francaise is golden perfection — light, lemony, and delicately balanced. The Pork Chop Bitsy delivers that comforting, old-world richness that’s become a Barge Inn hallmark, while the Fried Calamari and Shrimp Scampi are executed with crisp precision and a level of freshness rarely found outside the shore.
The service remains exactly what it should be — professional, direct, and deeply respectful of both the food and the guests. There’s a timeless rhythm to the dining room: plates coming out hot, wine glasses refilled before you ask, and staff who know their regulars by name.
In a city evolving by the day, Barge Inn stands as a proud reminder that authenticity never goes out of style. Whether you’re a lifelong local or a first-time visitor, this is a must-visit landmark for anyone who appreciates genuine Italian-American cooking done right.

Awesome, awesome spot. Food from apps to entrees (I had chicken parm) are generous portions and VERY good. We went here with a group of 12 for my birthday and not only was service good, the staff were so nice & fun. We kept adding music to the jukebox and when it was clear the rest of the restaurant patrons were also enjoying it, they turned it up a bit we all sang and the staff were soaking it up. We loved them (even the cooks were enjoying it!). All in all, quaint spot, but if you go with friends and want to shut the place down on a weekend night, they’re happy to give you an unforgettable night.
Highly recommended and we will be back!!

Might be a little too cozy but I don’t care. Great atmosphere.
Food was good: apps tasted good and the main meal was a huge plate.
Service was great. Server made sure everything was going well and everyone was satisfied with what they ordered.
Will be back.

The most amazing chicken parmigiana I or my wonderful husband ever had in Jersey City. And their BREAD PUDDING! Holy moly! It’s immaculate. Frank is a rare chef with a true passion for savory and sweet dishes! I feel so beyond lucky to alive during Beyoncé & Barge Inn. ♾

Terrific old school Italian restaurant that I highly recommend to anyone the remotely lives in the area. The menu is simple and straight to the point but everything we ordered was top notch. The special board was very diverse and I can’t wait to explore it on my next visit. Most tender chicken parm I’ve ever had and they have an elite level chicken savoy.
The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable, and makes you feel like you’re part of the family. It’s hard to get this level of service at restaurants today.
I can’t wait to come back because this absolutely satisfies every Italian craving you have.

Great little Italian restaurant with an old world flair. I loved their linguini in white clam sauce which I ordered for takeout.
