My wife and I went there last week and I regret not saying anything at the time. I don’t write bad reviews and put this one off but I felt completely DUPED by all of the great reviews. 1. My water glass was dirty and both of our menus were also dirty to the point we didn’t want to touch them. (Not the end of the world but gross). 2. My chicken parm was fine, cheese was good but the chicken was small and clearly frozen prior; my local pizza place is better and cheaper. 3. My wife ordered the Penne Vodka and it was $34….MORE expensive than my chicken parm. Not only was it not Penne (it was ziti…), but it tasted like a mixture of Kraft mac and cheese powder mixed with milk. It tasted NOTHING like vodka sauce or anything else that I had ever eaten. It was also supposed to have pancetta but we found literally 3 specs. We were honestly shocked and a bit angry after reading all of the wonderful reviews calling it “The best Italian food in New Jersey”. It’s clear that the owner has a lot of friends and family that write nice reviews that aren’t truthful. Staff was friendly but the food was extraordinarily over priced and just not good. I hope it can be chalked up to a bad day in the kitchen but I’m not so sure. Hopefully they change some things…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding!
Cordi Italian is hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in New Jersey. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth, care, and authenticity that so many places try to imitate but rarely deliver.
The food is incredible — rich, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with top-quality ingredients. Every dish tasted like it was crafted with pride. The pasta was fresh and cooked beautifully, the sauces were layered with flavor, and the entrées were the kind you dream about long after the meal is over.
Service was just as impressive. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a great dining experience. They check in without hovering, make great recommendations, and treat you like a welcome guest — not just another table.
The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and ideal for everything from date nights to family dinners. It’s the kind of place you can’t wait to return to.
If you’re looking for exceptional Italian food with top-tier service, Cordi Italian is a must. Easily a 5-star experience. Highly recommended! 🍝🇮🇹
Absolutely Perfect Holiday Party at Cordis!
We recently hosted our holiday party for 50 people at Cordis, and it was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, everything was beautifully set up and perfectly organized.
The food was incredible—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.
The atmosphere was stunning, spotless, and festive, with a great setup that included a DJ and a gorgeous flower bar that everyone loved. The staff were beyond impressive—so friendly, professional, and attentive. The waiters were on top of everything the entire evening, making sure our guests had everything they needed without ever having to ask.
A special shout-out to Niki and her husband, the wonderful owners, who went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. You can really tell how much they care about their guests and their restaurant.
Thank you, Cordis, for giving us a night to remember! We can’t wait to come back and celebrate with you again.
Love, Ocean Heart Group Team ❤️
Dominic Cordi who is the owner greeted my family and I at the door and was kind. He advised us of all there great options of dishes the restaurant has available. We went with a delicious pizza pie for lunch that we enjoyed. AL who made and serve our pizza pie was great. He was very kind and generous. My kids including my wife and I enjoyed the restaurants environment. We will definitely be back. Thank you for showing class and professionalism Dominic and AL, The food and service was A1.
It's my husband's birthday and I wanted to treat him to a good Italian restaurant. This place was highly recommended and the reviews were great. I had high hopes but we were disappointed. The server was great. She accommodated all our requests and even gave my husband a cheesecake with candles on it and sang the birthday song. The owner came out and visited every table but ours and when he did, it was only to move our table to give space to the table next to us. The said table complained that our table was too close and didn't like my husband looking at their table. One guy even asked my husband," Can I help you?". The owner gave us a complementary pie but that was unnecessary. To make matters worse, we got sick from the food we ate. I was not impressed with the food. I was looking forward to the fettuccine Alfredo made in a cheese wheel but the version in the menu with panchetta was not available and instead they have chicken or shrimp. The ambience was not for us. It was too small and crowded and the regulars were snooty and uppity. I was also disappointed that some of the guests were wearing shorts and sandals on the 'upscale' restaurant.
