New York City pizzeria Song E Napule is crossing the Hudson River, opening its first restaurant outside New York City at 106 Park Ave. in Rutherford, New Jersey. The restaurant, created by the Neapolitan food entrepreneur Ciro Iovine, will serve pizza and authentic and traditional Italian dishes.
“Today more than ever, it’s fundamental that the restaurant business propose food characterized by top-quality ingredients and love for tradition, but also authentic experiences that allow the customer to feel the cultural imprinting of where the dishes comes from,” Iovine said. “This is the reason why we are expanding our winning model outside of New York City, so that more people can experience our passion and love for the Neapolitan cuisine, and feel themselves part of this wonderful tradition.”
Iovine started working in a pizzeria in Naples when he was 13. After several experiences abroad, he traveled to New York, where he met his now-wife Austria, and the duo opened Song E Napule Pizzeria & Trattoria in 2015 in New York City’s West Village.
