New York City-based Song E Napule has opened in Rutherford, New Jersey. It is the brand's first location outside of NYC, according to a press release.

The restaurant, created by Ciro Iovine, will serve pizza and traditional Italian dishes.

"Today more than ever, it's fundamental that the restaurant business propose food characterized by top quality ingredients and love for tradition, but also authentic experiences that allow the customer to feel the cultural imprinting of where the dishes comes from," Iovine said in the release. "This is the reason why we are expanding our winning model outside of New York City, so that more people can experience our passion and love for the Neapolitan cuisine, and feel themselves part of this wonderful tradition."

Iovine started working in a pizzeria in Naples when he was 13. Song E Napule opened in the West Village in 2015 with the ambition to create pure Napoli in the city.
