It’s always bittersweet to say goodbye to a local favorite, and Roman Nose on Newark Avenue has just announced it is closing its doors next week. Known for its Italian dishes, easy access to the PATH, and good vibes, Roman Nose’s owners shared a heartfelt message about the closure on social media, noting their last day of service would be on Sunday, November 2nd, 2025.
The Fiore Family shared their plans to close on social media on Wednesday, October 29th — just days before the final dinner service. In a statement posted to social media, the owners shared:
“After much reflection and conversation with our family, we’ve made the very difficult decision to close Roman Nose, effective next week. This was not an easy choice. But after 13 incredible years in downtown Jersey City, our parents’ well-deserved wish to retire has brought us to this bittersweet moment.”
The family expressed deep gratitude to their loyal customers and staff, saying that the support from the community made Roman Nose “more than a restaurant — you made it a family.”

The restaurant’s final service will be Sunday, November 2nd, and guests are invited to stop by throughout the week for one last meal.
“Rather than focus on sadness, we want this week to be a celebration — of great food, community, and 13 unforgettable years of sharing meals and memories with you,” the Fiore family wrote.
Roman Nose was known for its fresh, made-from-scratch pasta and signature dishes like Tagliatelle al Ragù, Cassarecce alla Norma, and Chicken Parmigiana. The restaurant’s meatballs, often described as tasting “straight from Nonna’s kitchen” and its indulgent desserts, from tiramisu to house-made gelato by Jersey City’s Milk Sugar Love, kept customers coming back for more. Brunch was also a highlight at Roman Nose, featuring Italian twists on classics such as lemon-ricotta pancakes, frittatas, and the fan-favorite Pizza All’Uovo.
Roman Nose leaves behind a lasting legacy in the downtown dining scene, having helped shape the area’s vibrant food culture alongside other Newark Avenue staples. Though its closure marks the end of an era, the Fiore family will live on.
“From our family to yours, thank you for being part of the Roman Nose story,” their farewell concluded. “You’ll always be part of ours.”
