Perusia — Restaurant in Waldwick

I'm from Perugia, but I currently reside in NYC. I recently came across a story online about a new restaurant launching in New Jersey. I couldn't hold back. When I arrived yesterday, I was incredibly welcomed. Seeing pictures of my hometown on the walls made me quite emotional. At that time, Jimmy and Donika were very busy, yet we still had time to get to know one another. There are many shared friends, memories of our city, and so on. then comes the meal. For a very long time, I had a "Norcina" in my dreams. I was curious to know if it would test the same as "our" Norcina. The components are from Italy, and the cooking time is proper, therefore it most definitely did, It's not already pre-cooked; instead, it is prepared fresh each time, like it should be; it might take an extra five minutes to be served, but that's how it should be! Then comes the torta al testo, a special delicacy that can only be found in Umbria. And once more, delicious! So in the end, it was a beautiful day with wonderful company and delicious food. We will undoubtedly learn more about "Perusia" in the near future. I'll return soon and bring more buddies with me. I appreciate you,...

Perusia Restaurant is that little gem of a place that once you discover it, you wanna tell the whole world about it!

We love food. We eat out all the time, here in New Jersey or in the city. This honestly competes with the likes of Pepolino or other well known italian restaurants in the city, but Perusia has much better prices!!!

We were 6 people total. 4 adults and 2 kids.

We ordered for appetizers Bufalo Mozzarella, Cozze Or Mussels, octopus served over roasted potatoes, Margherita pizza and mozzarella sticks for the kids. Everything was perfect. Honestly ilthe food is so authentic, you feel like uour are eating freshly made food right in Umbria, Italy!

Main courses, we ordered Black pasta infused with squid ink, and seafood, linguini seafood, ruccola pizza, salmon, tagliata di manzo or sliced hanger steak. Woow! Can’t wait to go back.

They don’t have a liquor license so you better bring your own vino!

Just incredible. What an absolutely gorgeous place and food!

The waitress was really attentive too!!!...

Words can hardly capture the incredible experience of this place! The food is a delightful fusion of freshness and traditional flavors, perfectly crafted to transport you straight to the bustling streets of Italy. The service is exceptional and heartwarming, making you feel right at home. You can truly sense the care they put into every detail.

The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance—charmingly simple yet inviting without being overly decorated. It's a joy to watch kids running around, their laughter filling the air while adults savor their meals and enjoy a well-earned coffee afterward. There's no rush here; just like a genuine Italian restaurant, they believe in reliving every moment with loved ones. And let me tell you, the place is pristine and immaculate! You’ll leave with a whole...
