Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Teaneck

After exploring a historic house in nearby Alpine, this longstanding establishment on Route 9 has been on my radar, and we decided on lunch today. Established in 1969 on the site of the former Bicycle Club, Giovanni’s Bicycle Club features irresistible flavors of Italian cuisine from family recipes using the finest ingredients. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable but was not necessary on a Sunday. Upon entering this two-story building, my partner and I were greeted by the host, and a few patrons were enjoying their meal on two enclosed outside patio decks with fans in the summer, so we joined them. The windows could be raised for that inclement weather, and heaters turned on when needed. They do have a main dining room, with the front bar much fancier. A few small bicycle artifacts make the place memorable and unique. We decided on the Philly Cheesesteak and Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad. Complimentary bread with dipping oil started our meal. The food was tasty with a healthy portion. The price was a bit pricey. The service was friendly; our server was Buket. We could recommend this place.

Whenever we visit American Dream Mall we always stop for dinner at this Houlihan’s location. It’s always good.

Our server was really wonderful and helped make it an enjoyable experience. I'm sad to hear that the restaurant will be renovated to be modern as I appreciate the retro decor, but the food is still great!

The food and service at Villa Amalfi are consistently excellent. The staff is wonderful. The senate the main reasons family returns frequently. The BEST!

Thank u for the great service! The Hanjeongsik (traditional Korean full-course meal, Golden Set) was such a treat. I couldn’t choose just one favorite banchan (side dish) — they kept coming until a table meant for four was completely filled! And there were only two of us. And, I especially loved the bori-cha (barley tea)! ❤️
