I always thought North Jersey did Italian food as good/better than anywhere. Went to a hole in the wall Italian restaurant the other night in Thomaston, CT of all places that felt like I was in North Jersey. All we ordered was entrees because they're supposed to have huge portions and because of the long wait time they kept bringing out huge trays of complimentary appetizers- bruschetta, antipast, and mussels in red sauce. The entrees are enormous served in humongous wood bowls and wood boats. Their chicken Arrabbiata special and mussels in red sauce are as good as it gets and free Limoncello shots to end the meal. Tramonti restaurant in Thomaston.Italian reataraunts? No state better than RI. I’ll die on that hill. Pizza? Nope. And it’s mystifying
