My family and I hit up this spot once and a while for some decent Italian eats. We have dined in, taken out, and tried multiple things on the menu which is why I think we have a good taste of what this place offers. We have had some good experiences along with a few sub par ones. The pizza here is generally good, we enjoy their variety of pies and how they offer Sicilian style as well. Their mozzarella sticks are pretty good too, they serve up a good amount with some nice marinara. They generally throw a decent amount of garlic knots and bread with the food which we enjoy. We are usually happy with the pizzas, and would recommend staying on that side of the menu if you dine here. I hate to say it but would recommend passing on the sandwich/wrap section. I was going to leave this alone because they did refund one of our sandwiches before that came with nothing on it, but it became a recurring thing when we gave their sandwiches multiple shots. I tried their signature cheese steak, a wrap, and their shrimp hero. I will add that I do not see the shrimp hero on the menu anymore which I believe is a good move. I have to say I was disappointed in their sandwiches because they are around 25 bucks with no sides. If you see the picture of this steak sandwich, for 25 dollars I wanna see steak falling out and overflowing in that sandwich especially if it comes with no side. I could have gotten an ENTIRE PIZZA PIE to feed me for a day with that. Was the steak sandwich good? Not really because it did not fill me up and neither did the shrimp hero which they did replace. The reality is if that sandwich was 12 bucks, I would not be complaining but at the price of a whole pizza, throw a mountain of fries with the sandwich or PILE IT UP. Thankfully their menu is large enough to enjoy some of their food while avoiding the sandwich section. At least their wraps come with fries, but I can’t make any excuses for a skimpy 25 dollar sandwich. On a brighter note, give their pork king pizza a try and their best seller pie is also quite good. They have given us a decent amount of toppings whenever we order and definitely recommend their pizza. If you are looking for other food besides pizza, you may want to skip this spot because it is just not enough food; to get enough you will end up spending sushi level prices. I also will say the service here is good; I happen to know a few of their staff and they do work hard… Just stick with the pizza.

Very nice restaurant and decorated lovely. The food was good for an Easter brunch. The service was a little slow but we were a party of 10 so understandable. I would definitely return if in the area again.

Came here yesterday because I was taking a class in the area and it really impressed me, including my great waitress!
Food: I ordered some strawberry pancakes with some sweet mascarpone cheese because it reminded me of a meal I had in Chicago. The flavor blew my mind, I didn’t even need any syrup. The waitress also gave me some garlic knots as a “free bread” and it might be some of the best I have ever had.
Aesthetic; really nice looking place inside with a comfortable dance floor near the bar. Bar is nice, well stocked.
Service: I can’t begin to say how sweet Alexa was the entire time. Super helpful, kind, and chatted with me a little bit about the place. She is a great waitress and they are lucky to have her.

Came here for brunch for Father’s Day. Walked in with no reservation and was able to get a spot on the deck for 5 people. The staff were nice and understanding, and the atmosphere was good, especially outside on the patio (beautiful day)
We ordered the strawberry pancake, which was very good but the Steak and Eggs were a miss for two reasons, (1) we asked for medium but it came out well done so it was very dry and (2) it was suppose to be a skirt steak but for some reason, they were out and didn’t tell us so they gave us Shell Steak without informing us about the change.
Overall, it was not bad, but the service for the food to come took about 30- 40 minutes to come out, while others that sat down a little after us got it much faster, which was annoying.

Warm and breezy weather calls for outdoor dining! If you dine here you have to sit on their patio!
I also highly recommend the spicy margarita!
For our appetizer we had the fried calamari and we shared the margarita and prosciutto pizza. I wasn’t a huge fan of the fried calamari because of the prominent fishy taste, but many fish lovers would like it. The pizzas were also a bit bland and missed flavors.
The garlic knots were my favorite part of dinner! They were nice enough to send me home with a basket!

Giovanni’s Bicycle Club in Englewood, NJ. You know when fresh hot garlic knots are served in the bread basket the food is going to be good! They are serving some AMAZING Italian food. From the classics like Eggplant Rollatini to Giovanni’s creations- you won’t be disappointed. Of course the burger is amazing and you can find just about everything on the menu!

Went for brunch, lovely ambience and the service was decent. Only issue was a found a shard of glass in my California Skillet. I asked the server to notify the kitchen and was expecting an apology from the chef or kitchen staff but got no response so raises questions about the hygiene in the kitchen and staff behavior.

Def one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve had the pleasure of dining in!! Love the ambiance, vibes are great. Staff is super friendly and the food is 10/10! But make sure to save room for the best tiramisu you ever going to have! Absolutely amazing

The pizza here is great. No complaints about the food. The problem was how unwelcome I felt the moment I walked in.
My friend and I had hiked 6 miles from the Alpine Boat Dock in 40° wind and light rain. We were cold, tired, and starving. We even extended our hike specifically to come here, walking all the way up from the Englewood Marina. I ordered the pizza on the way up so it would be ready when we arrived. By the time we got to the register, I was literally salivating.
All I asked was, “Can I eat one slice inside before heading out?” That’s it. Not a table, not a whole dine-in setup. Just one warm slice for maybe 90 seconds before walking back into the cold with the rest of the pizza.
The cashier responded with “why?”
I explained.
He asked “why?” again.
Then he gave me this passive-aggressive, “That’s fine, just eat it. It shouldn’t be a problem.”
The place was almost completely empty — 30–40 open tables, a bar, one customer in the entire restaurant. For some reason, me eating one slice of the pizza I just paid $38 for was treated like I was asking for something outrageous. Instead of offering me a plate, or even just a normal tone, I got interrogated. So after that, I didn’t feel welcome eating inside at all and ended up eating the entire pizza outside in the cold wind.
I grew up working in my family’s restaurant. I’ve been a cashier, a waiter, a dishwasher, delivery — the whole thing. I would never ask a customer to explain why they want to eat the food they purchased. If someone wants to eat a quick bite before heading out, you just let them. Zero friction. That’s basic hospitality.
This restaurant is right next to one of the most popular hiking entrances in the area. Hungry hikers showing up cold and exhausted shouldn’t be a surprise. If there’s some unwritten rule against joggers or hikers eating a slice inside, at least put up a sign so people know.
The pizza was legitimately great. But the attitude? Not so much. This could’ve been an easy five-star stop. Just let me eat one warm slice inside before making me go back out into the rain. Instead, I ate four slices outside: three lukewarm, one bitterly cold. Thanks for that.
I’ll come back at some point to revise my review, and hope the experience is better, because the food deserves better service than what I got.
