Bread And Salt - Jersey City

We wanted to find a local Italian sandwich place within walking distance. I ignored the negative reviews and gave this place a try. Bought 2 sandwiches. Both were underwhelming to say the least. They tasted like stale bread and deli meat, and bread was too oily. Espresso tasted okay but way to small. Zucchini pie was too salty and lack of flavor. Can’t believe we had to wait at least half an hour for the poorly slapped together food. None required cooking. I couldn’t help but wonder if the business did it on purpose to make it appear that it’s a hit place therefore people don’t mind waiting?For this area, Dulce de Leche on Central Ave has better food. For Italian sandwiches and bakeries, we will continue to drive to Palazzone 1960 in Wayne.

I dine here every Saturday, and it's truly a one-of-a-kind establishment. Everything they serve is outstanding, flavorful, and exceptional.

After finally managing to visit this restaurant, I was disappointed. The pizza was okay, but slightly overcooked. The mozzarella and sauce were good, but not worth the $50 price tag. An earlier review mentioned that the staff is "pretentious," and I didn't believe it until I experienced it myself. When I asked if there were any toppings available, I received the most pretentious "no" I've ever encountered. It seems I’m not deemed worthy of "real Italian pizza" crafted by Brooklyn hipsters donning their folded beanies.

Everything at this restaurant is fantastic, but the rossa is truly out of this world. Plus, it's only a couple of blocks away from Riverview Park, making it the ideal spot to grab some food and a soda for a picnic.

Bread and Salt is such a rare treat. The bread is incredible, and a loaf lasts an entire week, yielding first great bread then toast then croutons and bread crumbs. Of course if you get Rick Easton’s cookbook you can make his delicious “meat” balls (3 kinds! , stuffed peppers, papa Al pomodoro, etc. The donuts are perfect with an espresso in the morning, and so far I have had the onion focaccia, the tomato and the zucchini- all outstanding. I look forward to this bakery opening on Friday all week, and the sandwiches are delicious- my favorite so far is the fig, Gorgonzola and salami. The ones I have had are all made on crispy, olive oil-y focaccia. There is usually a small line but the line conversations are great for menu suggestions, and you can usually have a coffee while you wait. Luckily I live close by but I would drive from Manhattan for this place!!
