Laico's

"This classic Italian spot in Greenville has set up a very nice outdoor area where you won’t need to nervously check Dark Sky between every course. The tent and hanging light-covered space is available by reservation, which you can make by calling 201-434-4115." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, matt tervooren

"HIdden midblock in a residential neighborhood not far from the warehouses that line the northern reaches of Newark Bay, Laico’s is typical of the old-guard Italian restaurants that once dotted Jersey City. The cudgel-size pork chop parmesan covers the plate, while the eggplant rollatini — stuffed with scintillatingly fresh ricotta — is just like Italian grandmas used to make. The wine list offers plenty of bargains, and there’s a postage-stamp-size parking lot adjacent to the restaurant." - Robert Sietsema

"After months of nervously comparing weather apps on the way to restaurants, Laico’s provides some welcome relief. That goes for their tent and hanging light-covered outdoor space, as well as the tables and bar seats inside. Call this classic Italian spot in Greenville to make a reservation under either roof, and enjoy linguini with clam sauce or a pork chop with vinegar peppers without stressing about a 15% chance of showers." - matt tervooren

"It’s worth the 15-minute taxi ride from downtown to Laicos for the veal parmesan. Other classic spots include Barge Inn and Renato’s." - Annie Fitzsimmons
