Welcome to Bazzarelli's
Since 1971, our family has proudly called Moonachie home, serving generations of guests with recipes rooted in tradition and heart. Founded by Aldo Bazzarelli and Giovanni Mannarino, a devoted son-in-law and father-in-law duo, our story began with two immigrants from southern Italy who built something lasting from the ground up.
They carried with them the flavors of their homeland, passing down treasured recipes like our rich marinara sauce and our signature lasagna—dishes that have remained unchanged, comforting, and timeless for over five decades.
Today, we are proud to be a multigenerational family working side by side, continuing the legacy they started. Our restaurant is more than a place to eat—it's a gathering space where tradition meets today, where familiar Italian classics and Italian-American favorites are prepared with the same passion and care as they were in the beginning.
We are deeply connected to our community, grateful for the relationships we've built, and excited to share our heritage with a new generation. Every plate we serve carries a piece of our history—and an open invitation to become part of it.
