Landmark restaurant Spirito's made MSN's national listing of the top Italian eateries, ranked as 18 out of 50. As described on MSN, “If you’re from a certain part of northern New Jersey, there’s about a 100 percent chance that you’ve heard of Spirito’s, and an equally good chance that you’ve been there.”
Established in 1932, the still family run restaurant on the corner of High Street and Third Avenue seems to standstill in time. No butter, coffee, or dessert is served, and it is strictly cash only. Famous for its pizza, veal parmigiana, and homemade ravioli, the restaurant is a well known spot for generations of local, and not so local, customers. Hillsborough residents Patricia and Bob Matzek often take the hour long ride back to their hometown for pizza and salad with garlic dressing.
