restaurant VIEWS-That’s Amore! Da Noi Restaurant serves Divine Italian Cuisine in a Romantic, Elegant Atmosphere

By Sally Deering

River View Observer’s restaurant VIEWS Pick for October 24th to November 11th DA NOI Restaurant

Da Noi Restaurant in Bayonne

 “Da Noi” means “by us” or “from us” in Italian and it’s also the name of a romantic and elegant restaurant in Bayonne where you will enjoy fine Italian dishes that are like “amore” on a plate!

I heard Chef Gordon Ramsey say on one of his TV shows recently that New Jersey is known for its Italian restaurants and after years of dining Italiano in my home state, this Jersey girl knows by now that some of those places serve pizza and spaghetti and call it Italian cuisine.  But if you want to taste the real deal, Italian dishes that are made to order by an excellent chef, in a warm and romantic setting, then run, don’t walk, to Da Noi Restaurant in Bayonne.
