Popolari 1047 Broad Street, Bloomfield, NJ 07003

"Great local Italian restaurant with good menu size and tasty dishes. Right after placing the order we have received three bruschettas as compliment. Only wine is available from their bar menu, but the waiter has suggested that they have BYOB policy, so I have brought couple of beers from the next door liquor store. Overall great experience. Would definitely recommend for any occasions, make reservations in advance if you want to get seated for Friday-Sunday dinners."

"Our dining experience at Popolari for lunch was nothing short of amazing. Both the food and service exceeded our expectations. The highlight of our visit was the owner, who not only served as our waiter but also ensured that every aspect of our meal was perfect. His friendly demeanor added a personal touch to our experience. The food at Popolari is noteworthy for its freshness and incredible taste. Every dish we tried was a testament to the quality and care put into their preparation. I wholeheartedly recommend Popolari for either lunch or dinner. It’s a place where the excellence of the food is matched by the warmth and attentiveness of the service."

"Enjoyed quite a delicious lunch here with my husband. We ordered our pizza just the way we did in ITALIA! Quattro formagi, grilled melanzane, prosciutto, Italian sausage, topped with spinach & arugula! Our fried calamari was perfectly cooked and lightly breaded! Their homemade huge meatball was also very delicious! The ambiance and art inside and out was also beautiful."

"The Ambiance is nice almost gives Italy vibes so it’s cute for a date but it’s a small restaurant so expect to be close to the table next to you! Went on a Friday the place was busy but the food is what disappointed me the most. Ordered meatballs and garlic knots for appetizers meatballs were very COLD and garlic knots were definitely not fresh. Carbonara pasta was watery not sure how, the flavor was good but the overall plate wasn’t good. Popolari pizza was another disappointment with the overall flavor and the prosciutto very Dry. I had high hopes for this place but honest opinion it was a disappointment. Wouldn’t recommend!"

"Amazing restaurant with a very full and varied menu - something for everyone! Plenty of vegetarian options too. Beautiful atmosphere with an artist’s touch. Service was amazing - greeted by the chef and owner! Victor was an incredible waiter. A MUST GO! Will be back for all the great items on the menu we were too full to try."
