Ita Italian Kitchen - Jersey City

The review mentions vegan options, but there is actually only one vegan option available. However, it is a good one - a pesto pizza with mushrooms.

I originally thought it was a downside that there was only one main dish option, but I don't even mind because the pizza was so incredible. I would choose it every time without hesitation. The vegetarian pasta seemed vegan, but I suspect it contains egg since it was labeled as vegetarian. I will inquire about it next time. There is also a vegan kale appetizer on the menu, as well as other dishes that could be made vegan upon request.

I initially thought the only Entrée option was a kon, but I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing the pizza was. I was so impressed that I didn't even consider trying any other options. I noticed they also offer a vegetarian pasta dish that seems like it could be vegan, but I suspect it may contain eggs since it was labelled as vegetarian. I will inquire about this next time. Additionally, they have a vegan kale appetizer and several other dishes that can be made vegan.

The dining experience was excellent and the restaurant is clearly making an effort to enhance their service. All our orders were promptly and efficiently brought to our table. The only downside was that their bolognese sauce was surprisingly spicy for an Italian restaurant. Personally, I enjoy spicy food so I didn't have a problem with it, but some members of my group found it too hot.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we were directed to our table, but when we chose to stand instead, a comment was made implying we would only be there for a limited time, which was off-putting. The service was slow, from ordering drinks to receiving our appetizers. The only thing that arrived promptly was the bill. The food and drinks were tasty, but the service was unfortunately subpar. Additionally, the prices were unreasonably high and did not align with the restaurant's ambiance. While the decor and cuisine were impressive, overall, it was not an ideal dining experience for me.
