Justin's also has a Prix Fixe Menu priced at only $21.95 on Tuesdays thru Fridays from 4pm to 6pm. And on Sundays from 1pm to 4pm.
Lunch is served from noon to 3pm Tuesday to Friday, dinner from 4 to 9:30pm Tuesday to Thursday and 4 to 10:30pm Friday and Saturday. And just like the original, our doors open Sunday from 1 to 9pm. While our Prix Fixe Menu hours are exactly the same, the price is only $21.95. So come down to one of two locations and enjoy the finest Italian cuisine.

Gracias por una noche perfecta. PURA VIDA!
My mom has been raving about this place for 2 years so, I finally tried it for myself. The food was delicious and fresh. Impeccable service. So many little touches make it perfect, like how they wipe the crumbs off the table with that little knife thing upon clearing your plates.
The atmosphere is cozy and I felt at home. They brought out my brother's desert and the entire room joined in singing happy birthday. It was extremely heartwarming.

The figs were wonderful, the mussels were perfect. If you don't like mussels, you'll love these. Of all the things people don't like about mussels, these had none of that. The calamari, however, was just ok. It wasn't bad - it was very good, much better than most you'll get anywhere else. Not chewy, nicely fried. It's just that everything else was excellent, so much so that it left me wishing the calamari would've lived up to the rest.

Justin’s Restaurante in Hawthorne was good but it’s Wood Ridge location is much better. Both locations are on the small side with a lot of tables fit in. Hawthorne’s lighting is on the dark side but the service was attentive and food is delicious at both locations. Hawthorne’s chef is either not using the same recipes or has a lighter hand on the seasonings than the Wood Ridge chef. Hawthorne did have a nice large tented seating area which was a plus. Parking for both locations is on street but Hawthorne has add’l parking down the block in a church lot across the street. Overall a nice

We had our rehearsal lunch here and everyone was so impressed with the food. The restaurant had a beautiful private room which was perfect and the whole occasion was so intimate. The staff was amazing. The food was fantastic and the courses just kept on coming! Our guests LOVED it. Such an amazing price point for all the food you get and its BYOB which is an added bonus especially when hosting an event like rehearsal lunch/dinner. We talked to Manny to arrange the whole event and it was so easy to coordinate. Could not be happier with how everything turned out

Today was my daughter’s Bridal Shower. The day was fantastic thanks to Justin’s amazing food and servers. We have always been frequent customers and there was no other place I would have chosen to have this special event. The food as always was delicious. They even prepared two amazing vegetarian meals. I would highly recommend Justin’s if you are planning a special event or just looking for a dinner out.

The best fine dining restaurant in Hawthorne. Justin's food is fabulous, the wait staff is attentive and courteous. I would highly recommend Justin's for a special occasion dinner. Suggest to make reservations on weekends and nights. Manny the owner takes care of his customers you cannot go wrong with Justin's restaurant

Came for a birthday celebration. Although we had a reservation for 7pm, we did have to wait 15-20 minutes before we were seated. As this BYOB store front restaurant is on the small side, we had to wait outdoors. Cozy inside but warm and inviting. Staff very pleasant.
Our waitress was extremely knowledgable with the menu and told us all the (extensive) specials by memory. We ordered the stuffed figs and stuffed artichoke for appetizers. Both extremely delicious! I had the zuppa de pesce for my entree which was incredible. Very good portion of fresh seafood and what looked to be a pound of pasta

Ever since my favorite waitress got sick and they made her work at the other location, me and my husband don't go there anymore. The service is lacking and I don't remember the early bird portions being as small as they were Thursday night. It reminded me of why we don't go anymore.
I just spent about an hour reading the reviews and noticed that the owner only responded to a handful that were positive. I think he should respond to the negative comments and rectify them.
Our service was subpar especially considering that we were sitting with one of the waitresses who was off.

Nice family owned place. Service is amazing, food delicious but be prepare to eat a lot. Their portions are ginormous, even appetizers are huge and you quickly will get full. Main courses comes with the complementary salad. So there is no need actually to order appetizers otherwise there would be a lot of food. Make sure you bring your own bottle of wine because they don't have any alcohol in restaurant.
