Sanzari's New Bridge Inn

Hopefully this was an off day, starters.. egg yoke ravioli in brown butter sauce. Oysters Rockefeller were good.. Ravioli was meh.. sauce was broken. Which I pointed out to the server and he said he was going to report back to the kitchen.. cause they welcome feedback. he came back and said the kitchen didn’t remember if it was broken or not??!! Which I showed to him. Mains, I had the salmon, wife had Chilean sea bass… not a big fan of their versions, Old Bay was a little over powering.. they should’ve listed OLD Bay as an ingredient.. IMO, since I’m eating and paying for it. crab boil yea ok.. not on these dishes.

We started off our meal early and had the whole dining room quietly to ourselves, which was wonderful after a long day at work. Our server, Gus, made excellent menu suggestions, was quite personable, and we enjoyed our visit. I had more than enough food to take home for my lunch the next day.

the appetizers were delicious - all the food was great , no complaints ! Server was old school excellent , didn’t write our dishes down and everything was perfect ! Mixed drinks were very good ! Will be back ! what a gem !

I only have two things to add to numerous other positive comments- 1) The food quality is among the best that you will find outside of the city itself, and 2) ask for Gus. He is a the best server among any restaurant experience that I have ever had (Michelin and James Beard inclusive) . Period. He’s worth asking for. Trust me.

I grew up in Bergen County, have been away for a while but can’t count the number of times I drove by Sanzari’s on River Road and thought, “I should try that place.” Finally did.it. Good was good, large portions so you might want to consider sharing. I had the penne vodka which was good and strangely even better the next day as leftovers. The hit of the table was the scallops. Risotto was perfect, scallops just right. Old school waiters and dining room makes it a good place for impressing relatives.

The place is great, I had the short rib and my wife had the pork chops. Both dishes were so delicious. Highly recommend for dinner or any event.

We received a gift card to dine here. We've never been here before. When we walked in we were greeted warmly and promptly seated in a beautifully decorated room with a warm homey feel. The servers were so friendly, attentive, but not intrusive, and very helpful, even supplied a stand to hold purses off the floor. The food was perfectly prepared. Started with complimentary warm loaves of bread served with Olive Oil and sundried tomatoes - so good! From appetizers to dessert, each bite, each entrée was thoroughly enjoyed! We started with Coconut Shrimp, Shrimp Cocktail and stuffed mushrooms. The shrimp were of an impressive size, not too much but oh so good! The stuffed mushrooms portion of 4 good-sized mushrooms caps generously stuffed to delight! The prime rib was made perfectly and served with horseradish, potatoes, a delicious bread muffin and veggies. The homemade lasagna did not disappoint with its generous portion and topped with freshly shredded cheese, so good! The filet mignon was exquisite. So tender and bursting with flavor! The mashed red potatoes were creamy and whipped to perfection. Roasted veggies on the side were savory as well. The portions, overall, were more than we could eat, so we happily requested our leftovers to be packed to brought home. We ended the evening the Chocolate Mousse served with fresh whipped cream, so good! The prices are a little steep for us, but wow! Well worth it! We look forward to (hopefully getting another gift certificate and) returning! If you're the type who doesn't mind paying a little more than usual for an outstanding meal, amazing service and a beautiful atmosphere, then I highly recommend Sanzari's!

This is the place you want to visit with your family and enjoy the original Italian jersey style food. I am so glad these places are still around and standing strong. The food and wine selection is great and fresh which is the reason I give 5 stars. The service is fenomenal. I love the portions sizes and their entrées. The price is perfect. I recommend to reserve your table during weekends. There is a parking area next to the restaurant. I would def recommend it to family en friends and comeback on my next trip. Great job.
