VB3...that's what the front desk at the Courtyard called it...oh and they called it delicious too... Another solid recommendation from the locals. VB3 was casual and Ryan and friends took good care of us. The arancini were served with an orange sauce...which I was curious about when I read it. Apparently, it works...don't know how, but it works. Kim had the garparm fries and Nona's meatball...while I trusted that "Joe" knows his pizza. I think I won...Kim still thinks she won. The meatballs are tender and tasty, the sauce is a good compliment but a little muted. The fries are better than most for me...I like a crunchy fry. Joe's Special Pizza...that's a winner!!! It traveled all the way back to Canada and still tasted great. The sausage meat was balanced well with the onions and cheese. The part with the red onions was the best...I don't know if the different onions were put there on purpose of if they were running out of one kind...but ask for the red onions if you can. VB3 is a solid 4.5 and yet one more time I wished for half stars.

Stopped in for a ‘meatless Monday’ dinner. The Eggplant Rollatini with penne was excellent. Simple and hearty. It’s enough food for 2 people. The Malbec went well with it. Nice ambience, and not too noisy.

Go try it! Food is surprisingly excellent! We have been a regular for a few years as the place serves food late and has many choices depending on mood and hunger level - from healthy great salad and fish to heavier steak and burger. My favorites - tuna nicoise salad, branzino, linguini with clams, flounder piccata, pasta fungi, steak, pizza with mushrooms. Drinks - federalist chardonnay or any great beer. For wine, the fact that they pour from a flask measured at the right level instead of inaccurate guessing says a lot about paying attention. Jambalaya from special menu is also excellent! Great take on something from New Orleans, which is not easy to execute. Appropriate glass depending on beer - enhances the experience. Also brings a small carafe that measures exactly a glass amount of wine, unlike many places that guess the amount. Thank you!!

Cozy place in Newport. Good food. Tasty Italian food - pasta, pizza and bruschetta were all tasty. Good service and a quiet place. We had been here for a weekend lunch and we enjoyed the quiet lunch. The only drawback is the quantity of food. It’s very less. One entrée is not sufficient for one person. The portions are very small. Generally anywhere we go (especially Jersey City) we order one entrée for 2 of us. But here we had to order 3 entrées for 2 of us.

Nice bar to hangout in Newport, Jersey City. This place has a happy hour from 5PM to 7PM where there is beer and other drinks are served at reduced prices. Food also is cheap with the drinks in the happy hour. This place has a small pizzeria as well where you can take out pizza and stuff.
