    Hands down one of the best Italian spots around. The food is incredible—every dish is packed with flavor and feels like something you’d get at a top restaurant in NYC. The atmosphere is just as good, with a warm, stylish vibe that makes the whole experience even better. My favorites so far include the ricotta meatballs, the lemon chicken, the branzino, and the spicy rigatoni. You can tell every dish is carefully prepared with attention to detail. Plus, it’s BYOB, so you can bring your favorite bottle of wine to pair with the meal. Service is top-notch—friendly, attentive, and they make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. They also offer valet parking, which is a nice touch. Definitely make a reservation because this place fills up fast. If you’re looking for amazing Italian food in NJ with an NYC-style atmosphere, Falcone is 100% worth a visit.
