Gallo Nero Ristorante Italiano

My wife was craving vongole pasta, so we decided to go out for Italian and chose this place based on the reviews—and it did not disappoint. We started with Cozze al Vino Bianco, and it was absolutely amazing. The mussels were fresh and perfectly cooked, and the white wine sauce was so good we ended up dipping our bread into it after finishing. The bread itself was warm, fresh, and paired perfectly with olive oil and balsamic. After that, we were really excited for the vongole pasta. The sauce was a little different from what we expected, but when we mentioned it, the manager kindly let us know that we can request the same sauce as the mussels next time, which we really appreciated. I also loved the small details—how they decorate the plates with fresh basil leaves. Such a cute and though

We loved coming here! The atmosphere is beautiful, warm, and welcoming. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and the owner is an amazing host and a very nice man. Most importantly, the food was so delicious. I loved the octopus salad and that was my favorite part of the meal and I highly recommend it. I got the tomato basil pasta and it was simple, delicious, and fresh. The prices were good here too. Highly recommend if you’re in the area! :)

This place was a solid 10/10 all around! We had a group of 15 & they welcomed us with open arms. The food is incredible! Every single person raved about their meal. Every dish was authentic and homemade. The decor is beautiful and makes the place so warm & cozy. Perfect for a date night or family gathering. Will be returning anytime we’re in the area! Highly recommend!!

Last minute stay in NJ and let me tell you this was the BEST FIND. We are celebrating my dad’s birthday so I saw the reviews and had to come. Let me start with the ambiance was beautiful and cozy. We met the owner Marchello and his lovely wife, warm welcoming and soooo much history in the making of this restaurant. Fresh oven baked bread at the beginning. Everything we ordered was exceptional! I had the languini cacio e Pepe 😋 WOW , ragatoni pollo pazzo , crab cakes and grilled octopus. EVERYTHING was delicious and the flavors stood out on their own. Let me tell you alot of places don’t know how to cook octopus, this octopus melted in your mouth. Recommend everything. We also ordered an oven baked pizza because we needed to try it too😂 Come here for not only the 10/10 food but 10/10 atmos

I totally recommend this place! I went with my daughter for a lunch date, amazing service. Everyone is accommodating and welcoming, the food is great. The pricing is reasonable for the services and food you get. It's a very calm place with nice areas in the restaurant to take pictures. I totally recommend, HIGHLY SATISFIED.
