Nice bar to hangout in Newport, Jersey City. This place has a happy hour from 5PM to 7PM where there is beer and other drinks are served at reduced prices. Food also is cheap with the drinks in the happy hour. This place has a small pizzeria as well where you can take out pizza and stuff.

Great space and food! Friendly and attentive staff (Thanks Star). Free valet parking. Went for brunch 7/27- wouldn't try the pancakes again, they were dense and dry

My new fav spot! #SummerFoodieLOVIN’ for real! 😋💚♾ 7 stars for their PERFECT vegetarian RICE BALLS! Great burger, Ryan the bartender and staff is fantastic, amazing Happy Hour M-F and love the ambiance and music here!

Just was in the bar as others were too crowded in Washington Blvd. The bar attended was amazingly sweet, very nice to talk to. Not sure about the restaurant food but will.go back to be at the bar for couple of drinks later .pizza is good .

Stopped in for a ‘meatless Monday’ dinner. The Eggplant Rollatini with penne was excellent. Simple and hearty. It’s enough food for 2 people. The Malbec went well with it. Nice ambience, and not too noisy.

This called VB3 and is take-out only unless you’re a member. But that is not explained on the Google app. Pizza looks good!

Came here with few friends on Monday night for dinner; place was about 10% full from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Food: Linguine Alla Vongole was decent – the contrast in texture and flavor of linguini, clam & tomato, plus a hint of white wine, makes this a simple yet delightful dish. Service: Average, nothing to write home about. It took approximately 25-minutes to serve all the foods. Atmosphere: Feel more like a sport bar than a restaurant – loud music, TVs everywhere, dim lighting…tables, seating and deco definitely need some TLC and update. Probably is a venue good for a group event.

I got the wrong pizza delivered. The person on the phone was so very nice and made us a new pizza, which was great! (The wrong pizza was good too, just not what we wanted.

Absolute terrible food. Veal was rubber, mozzarella sticks cold on inside all stuck together, penne vodka sauce was bitter. Couldn’t finish any meal we got, we’re hoping we don’t get sick.

VB3...that's what the front desk at the Courtyard called it...oh and they called it delicious too... Another solid recommendation from the locals. VB3 was casual and Ryan and friends took good care of us. The arancini were served with an orange sauce...which I was curious about when I read it. Apparently, it works...don't know how, but it works. Kim had the garparm fries and Nona's meatball...while I trusted that "Joe" knows his pizza. I think I won...Kim still thinks she won. The meatballs are tender and tasty, the sauce is a good compliment but a little muted. The fries are better than most for me...I like a crunchy fry. Joe's Special Pizza...that's a winner!!! It traveled all the way back to Canada and still tasted great. The sausage meat was balanced well with the onions and cheese. The part with the red onions was the best...I don't know if the different onions were put there on purpose of if they were running out of one kind...but ask for the red onions if you can. VB3 is a solid 4.5 and yet one more time I wished for half stars.

Go try it! Food is surprisingly excellent! We have been a regular for a few years as the place serves food late and has many choices depending on mood and hunger level - from healthy great salad and fish to heavier steak and burger. My favorites - tuna nicoise salad, branzino, linguini with clams, flounder piccata, pasta fungi, steak, pizza with mushrooms. Drinks - federalist chardonnay or any great beer. For wine, the fact that they pour from a flask measured at the right level instead of inaccurate guessing says a lot about paying attention. Jambalaya from special menu is also excellent! Great take on something from New Orleans, which is not easy to execute. Appropriate glass depending on beer - enhances the experience. Also brings a small carafe that measures exactly a glass amount of wine, unlike many places that guess the amount. Thank you!!

We stopped for a late lunch on a Saturday, and although the place was quiet the service was prompt and friendly. Salad and personal pizzas were excellent. Nice bar and wine selection. Would make a return visit for dinner next time we're in town.

Obviously not “upscale” but nice people with good food as a bar.

Cozy place in Newport. Good food. Tasty Italian food - pasta, pizza and bruschetta were all tasty. Good service and a quiet place. We had been here for a weekend lunch and we enjoyed the quiet lunch. The only drawback is the quantity of food. It’s very less. One entrée is not sufficient for one person. The portions are very small. Generally anywhere we go (especially Jersey City) we order one entrée for 2 of us. But here we had to order 3 entrées for 2 of us.

This restaurant is unquestionably one of the best place in the area. Always when I come there I am greatly happy. They manage their high standard service and the highest level of food they offer. You surely will enjoy this this place. Highly recommended.

Food was great..ordered lemon fish dish,chicken parmigiano & Rigatoni Bolognese Had to edit previous review as I had the wrong items ordered... Review still same,food servings were huge and our food was delicious and we will be back...low key casual vibe,but not the food...have to try their pizza..

VBIII: Is it a pizzeria, serving some of the best pies to be found in Chilltown? Is it a sports bar serving burgers, wings, salads, and entrées that are a cut (or more) above typical bar fare? Is it (occasionally) a nightclub busting out the hottest jams along with those hot wings? Is it a modestly priced (but consistently delicious) Italian restaurant? The answer to all of the above questions is: yes.
