Introducing The Kitchen Step, a neighborhood bistro in the downtown Van Vorst section that celebrates Jersey City’s rich history and delivers thoughtful market-inspired cuisine and craft cocktails in an intimate and inviting atmosphere. Known for his southern-Italian specialties, at The Kitchen Step, executive chef Ryan DePersio flexes his modern American muscle, delivering a market-inspired menu as diverse in its offerings – from crispy duck confit & frisee salad to miso-glazed portobello mushrooms – as it is in its flavor profiles.
