    At the heart of Song E Napule is Ciro Iovine; however, you’re only as good as the people you surround yourself with and trust to run your establishment with integrity, high standards and passion. He has chosen well with the staff at the Rutherford location. Giampiero, the crown jewel of Song e Napule, a master pizzaiolo whose artistry with dough and flame is nothing short of alchemy. His pizzas, crafted with the precision of a royal artisan, are a symphony of crisp, charred crusts, vibrant sauces, and toppings that sing of tradition and passion. Each pie is a masterpiece, worthy of a king’s table, embodying the soul of Naples in every bite. I told him he ruined me, bc I compare any pizza I have to his, and it’s never nearly as good. The restaurant also has the warm and delightful Omar, a gracious steward whose infectious hospitality makes every guest feel like cherished royalty. His charm weaves a spell of comfort, ensuring that all who enter are enveloped in the warmth of family. Meanwhile, Raffaele, the masterful bartender and manager, presides over the room effortlessly, orchestrating the flow of a grand feast with the poise of a seasoned diplomat. Song e Napule is no mere eatery; it is a regal celebration of Neapolitan tradition, where every visit feels like a coronation of taste and togetherness. To dine here is to be welcomed into a royal family, where Giampiero’s unparalleled craft, Omar’s heartfelt warmth, and Raffaele’s impeccable stewardship create a banquet fit for the gods. Long may this kingdom prosper, and may all who seek true pizza pilgrimage find their way to its hallowed doors.

    I had an amazing time at this restaurant! Our server, Thomas, and his trainee, Anna, were absolutely wonderful and made our experience unforgettable. I was there with my best friend celebrating her graduation, and they truly went above and beyond to make it special. Even though Anna is new, you would never know it, she had great recommendations when we asked questions, and she carried herself with so much confidence, like she’s been working there for a while. Thomas was fantastic as well, so welcoming and attentive. Together they made our night so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back, amazing service and a great atmosphere!
