点评:Stayed in Jersey City overnight at the Holiday Inn outside the Holland Tunnel looking for an Italian restaurant within walking distance. This restaurant replaced GP’s at 236 Pavonia Avenue and is now called Chickies. Short walk about 8 minutes and once you left the Holland Tunnel area was pleasantly surprised of the friendly neighborhood area surrounding Hamilton Park. This restaurant has a nice outdoor seating area resembling a nice piazza in Italy which was crowded on a warm summer night. I chose to eat at the bar as it would be a little cooler and as a 1st timer I could interact with the bartender much more than a waitress covering many tables. At the bartenders recommendation I had the pork chop with the spicy rigatoni and the homemade tiramisu. Both were exceptional and decent size portions. Their wine list was short but I opted for their super Tuscan “ciacci” for a decent price at $14 which is pretty good for the area. The service by the bartender was exceptional and I would definitely return again when in the area. The only recommendation I would give to make this more favorable would be to have a complimentary bread basket with each meal (as most Italian restaurants provide) and change the music to a more intimate music list focusing on italian. But once again very happy with my meal and service.This place is a hidden gem, kudos to the staff!
翻译:在泽西市过夜,住在Holland Tunnel外的Holiday Inn,寻找步行距离内的意大利餐厅。这家餐厅取代了 236 Pavonia Avenue 的 GP,现在被称为 Chickies。步行约 8 分钟,离开荷兰隧道区后,您会惊喜地发现汉密尔顿公园周围友好的街区。这家餐厅有一个漂亮的户外休息区,就像意大利一个漂亮的广场,在温暖的夏夜里很拥挤。我选择在酒吧吃饭,因为它会有点凉爽,而且作为第一次来这里的人,我可以与调酒师互动,而不是与一个服务于许多桌子的女服务员互动。在调酒师的推荐下,我点了猪排配辣通心粉和自制提拉米苏。两者都是特殊且体面的部分。他们的酒单很短,但我选择了他们的超级托斯卡纳“ciacci”,价格合理,14 美元,这对这个地区来说相当不错。调酒师的服务非常出色,我肯定会在该地区再次回来。为了让这更有利,我唯一的建议是每顿饭都有一个免费的面包篮(大多数意大利餐馆都提供),并将音乐更改为更贴心的意大利音乐列表。但是再次对我的用餐和服务感到非常满意。这个地方是一颗隐藏的宝石,对工作人员表示敬意!
