Delicious traditional Italian food, great ambiance, amazing staff (Michele our server was so nice, professional and very polite). Highly recommended.
Where do I even begin? Luciano’s San Vito isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a destination. We were tired and hungry, having just reached our destination. We wanted to find somewhere local to eat and came across Luciano’s. Upon leaving our AirBnb, we realized our door keypad had died and we would have to order in. The wait was a bit longer than expected but was absolutely worth the wait. Let’s talk about the vodka pasta. I’m not exaggerating when I say it was life-changing. Creamy, rich, perfectly seasoned—every bite was a revelation. I’ve had vodka pasta before, but this? This was next-level magic. It somehow managed to be comforting and luxurious all at once. I would travel states for this dish alone. If you’re even thinking about ordering something else—stop. Get the vodka pasta. You’ll thank yourself later. We also had the chicken Alfredo, which was beautifully balanced with tender chicken and a velvety sauce that clung to every noodle like it was meant to be. And the pepperoni pizza? My first real New York-style experience—and it blew me away. The crust was thin and crisp with just the right amount of chew, the sauce was bright and flavorful, and the pepperoni had that perfect curl-and-crisp magic that dreams are made of. Service was warm and attentive, the ambiance was welcoming, and the flavors were out of this world. This is the kind of place that doesn’t just serve food—it serves memories. Luciano’s San Vito has officially ruined me for other Italian restaurants. Five stars, hands down. If you’re nearby, go. If you’re not—get here somehow. This is a food experience you won’t forget.
Great family run restaurant is very busy, great priced wine, and also the staff did there job the food is great, not at all disappointing. We love this place. Anthony is a gentleman
This place is incredible. They accommodated a large party on a Saturday night which included 5 children. We chose family style. Although food was amazing. The service we got from Tasha was the best! I highly recommend this place.
Omg. I love pizza, I've tried it all over NJ ans NY. Usually I have a slice or two. Might give me heartburn, from this restaurant I ate four slices... I'd eat a fifth but I'm going to wobble. The delivery was super fast by a young girl which was both surprising and appreciated given the 10 degree weather. I plan to come eat here. Best of the best pizzas I've had and I'm glad you're un Bayonne. I'm a new customer who is going to return. I would rather wait, to get a slice from San Vito then to stop anywhere. Please keep it up and don't change. What you are doing is working! It's so good. Thank you!
Excellent food at a great family restaurant. Seems like they have a lot of regulars. Good pizza too!
Amazing very friendly staff, every time we order, never had anything that wasn’t DELICIOUS !!! ...
Very nice. I walked in and had a table, glass of nice Italian red wine and a basket of hot bread all within 7mins. Then comes the Caprese followed by spaghetti puttanesca and more wine and hot bread. The chef ‘Anthony’ came to the table and greeted me and chilled my wine (per my request) and followed up with me all evening. Fantastic meal. Place was very busy and all were enjoying their meals. Folks in/out picking up to-go orders and pizza by the slice as well. Nice place. It will be on my weekly visits!! Thanks Anthony and team for making me feel so special. Tutto bene.
