This New Jersey Portuguese Restaurant Serves Hearty Meals That Feel Just Like Sunday Dinner

Skewers of slow-roasted meat get carved right at your table here, one juicy slice at a time. That alone is enough to make me hungry before lunch even starts. The walls are lined with vintage Portuguese tiles, and the framed menus speak both English and Portuguese.

This NJ pasta shop makes 10,000 ravioli a week the old-fashioned way

Flour. Water. Egg. It starts simply, said Dominick Discenza. Building on those three ingredients with "only the best" in cheeses, meats, spices, herbs and oils is the key to Discenza and his family-run L&D Sapore Ravioli & Cheese in Middlesex. For more than 55 years, the Discenza family has shared Italian traditions, family recipes and fresh pasta through its deli and pasta shop. The shop was recently named to Yelp’s 2026 list of the Top 100 Pasta Places in the U.S. Like many of the pasta shops on the list, Sapore's roots run deep into Italian territory, with chef-owners who hail from traditional pasta makers. Many learned the craft from their families with recipes handed down from generation to generation. At Sapore Ravioli, the story begins in the small village of Baranello, Italy. Dicsenza learned to cook while watching and working with his grandparents before he came to the U.S. at age 12 with his family. They would get milk from the cows, make it into mozzarella. They grew olives to make olive oil. Everything was "in the family," he said. Those traditions and flavors remain with him today. Discenza founded Sapore Ravioli & Cheese in 1970, determined to share

Big Veggies and Small Price Tags Keep Shoppers Coming Back to This New Jersey Farm Market

An eggplant big enough to change your dinner plans is a pretty good reason to pull over. Add Jersey-grown tomatoes, peppers, and a bakery turning out apple cider doughnuts, and a quick produce stop starts looking suspiciously like an afternoon outing.

Seventeen wire baskets. That’s how many bins of fresh bagels greet you at one small New Jersey shop, and they’re practically overflowing. I have to admit, that number made me look twice. The bagels are typically baked that same morning, so those baskets aren’t just for show.

5 Best Restaurants in Paterson, New Jersey You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Paterson, New Jersey — a city where the Passaic River tumbles over Great Falls and the streets pulse with the music of many tongues, where old textile mills stand beside vibrant bodegas, and the air is alive with the scent of shawarma, empanadas, and fried chicken. Here, the city’s heart beats in the laughter of Dominican families on stoops, the quiet pride of Turkish grocers, the dreams of Palestinian bakers, and the hustle of newcomers drawn by the promise of something better. Paterson is a patchwork — of old-timers and new arrivals, of poets and shopkeepers, of students and dreamers, all weaving their stories into the city’s living fabric.
