Visiting Staten Island, NY, is a fantastic way to explore a unique blend of culture, history, and, of course, delicious dining. The island boasts a variety of culinary gems that make any trip memorable.

Dining Highlights in Staten Island

Anthony’s Paninoteca – Staten Island, NY

First on the list is Anthony’s Paninoteca, a local favorite renowned for its hearty sandwiches. A standout item is the Do It For Johnny sandwich, an Italian-inspired twist on the classic French dip. This roast beef sandwich substitutes mozzarella for the traditional Swiss cheese, creating a gooey, melty layer of flavor that perfectly complements the tender, juicy beef. The sandwich is a delight—rich and satisfying, with each bite bursting with flavor. It’s no surprise that this creation was highlighted in the New York Times, making it a must-try for anyone visiting the area.

The ambiance of Anthony’s is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal.

Mimmo’s Brick Oven Pizza & Trattoria – Staten Island, NY

Next, head over to Mimmo’s Brick Oven Pizza & Trattoria, which has earned its place as one of Staten Island’s top pizzerias. Named among the top five in the area, this restaurant offers a diverse menu that goes beyond pizza. I opted for their chicken dish, featuring succulent chicken topped with prosciutto, roasted red peppers, and fresh mozzarella, all beautifully nestled in a rich Marsala sauce served over a bed of rigatoni.

The combination of flavors in this dish is exceptional—the tender chicken pairs perfectly with the saltiness of the prosciutto, while the roasted red peppers add a touch of sweetness. The Marsala sauce ties it all together, creating a comforting and satisfying meal that left me craving more. Each bite of the rigatoni soaked up the sauce, making it a perfect companion to the flavorful chicken.

Staten Island offers a delightful array of dining options that showcase the flavors of the region. From the incredible roast beef sandwich at Anthony’s Paninoteca to the mouthwatering chicken dish at Mimmo’s Brick Oven Pizza & Trattoria, your culinary journey on the island will undoubtedly enhance your visit.

Opting for a sampling of their sushi rolls, I settled on a few favorites and eagerly awaited my order. The rolls arrived promptly, neatly packaged and ready to devour. While nothing out of the ordinary, each roll was fresh and flavorful, with a satisfying balance of fish, rice, and fillings. In addition to the sushi rolls, I also sampled the chicken teriyaki meal—a hearty option for those seeking something beyond sushi.

Nestled along the Black Horse Pike in Sicklerville, NJ, Liscio’s Italian Bakery & Deli of Cross Keys is more than just a bakery. From its humble beginnings, where Liscio’s founder’s grandmother, with her timeless charm and dedication, swept the floors and shared smiles with patrons, to the bustling present-day establishment, the essence of familial warmth and passion for quality endures. Though time has passed, and loved ones have bid farewell, their spirit lives on in every loaf of bread and culinary creation that graces Liscio’s counters.

Today, as the aroma of freshly baked goods fills the air, patrons can still sense the dedication that has been a hallmark of Liscio’s since day one. With three locations now proudly serving the community, including the original Cross Keys spot, Liscio’s remains a bastion of artisanal craftsmanship and unwavering enthusiasm.

On a recent visit, I had their chicken parm sandwich. While it certainly satisfied my cravings, other offerings and treats may be best or it could have been on off day. The price point was good and all the treats you are able to purchase to enjoy are a plus on any visit here.

Dragon Nest, an institution in Clarksboro, New Jersey, for over 30 years just recently reopened in restaurant dining. I had Hunan Beef, a blend of beef, crisp vegetables, and a spicy, tangy sauce that was pretty good. The fried rice, a staple of any Chinese take-out joint, was a cut above the rest. Light and fluffy grains of rice were tossed with savory soy sauce, scrambled eggs, and a medley of vegetables, resulting in a dish that was bursting with flavor and texture. It was the perfect accompaniment to the Hunan Beef. The steamed dumplings and egg roll were decent as well. Next time you’re in the mood for Chinese take-out, if you’re in the area you may want to pay a visit to Dragon Nest in Clarksboro, New Jersey.

Welcome to Dunlop’s Bar and Grill, a surprising culinary gem nestled within the heart of a hockey rink arena in Sewell, New Jersey. While one might not expect to find a full-service restaurant and bar in such a venue, Dunlop’s defies expectations with its inviting ambiance and delectable offerings.

Let’s start with the star of the show: the food. I had the pleasure of indulging in a trio of classics that left me thoroughly impressed. First up, the cheesesteak—a quintessential Philadelphia favorite. Dunlop’s rendition did not disappoint, boasting tender slices of steak smothered in gooey melted cheese, all nestled within a soft hoagie roll. It was a hearty and satisfying dish that hit all the right notes. Next, I sampled the poutine as my side a Canadian delicacy that has been gaining popularity across the States. Dunlop’s take on this classic dish was very good. Crispy fries were smothered in rich gravy and topped with generous chunks of cheese curds, creating a decadent and indulgent treat that left me craving more.

And let’s not forget about the hot and honey wings—a true crowd-pleaser that combines the perfect balance of heat and sweetness. Each wing was perfectly cooked to crispy perfection and coated in a sticky glaze that had just the right amount of kick. It was a flavor explosion that left me reaching for another wing before I even realized it.

What truly sets Dunlop’s apart, however, is its unbeatable combination of quality and value. Despite its unexpected location within a hockey rink arena, Dunlop’s offers above-average fare at a surprisingly decent price point. Whether you’re grabbing a bite before a game or simply looking for a delicious meal in a unique setting, Dunlop’s Bar and Grill delivers on all fronts.
