Our Beginning in Lebanon NJ
Janina opened its doors in 2010 with one clear goal, to create a place where people feel at home the moment they walk in. What started as a family dream quickly became a neighborhood favorite—and 16 years later, we are still proudly family-owned and family-run.
From the beginning, Janina Bistro has been serving the Lebanon and Clinton Township communities, welcoming guests not just as customers, but as family. Many of the faces we served in our first year are still sitting at our tables today.
Inspired by Italian Tradition
Our chefs draw inspiration from Italy, focusing on classic flavors with a modern twist. Seasonal ingredients are featured in dishes like shrimp, scallops, calamari, meatballs, and burrata. Desserts paired with a cappuccino complete the experience. Each plate reflects care and attention, inspired by regional Italian recipes.
A Warm and Welcoming Atmosphere
Janina Bistro was designed to feel like home. Guests can dine inside in our renovated interior or enjoy meals outdoors on the patio. The space is casual, inviting, and perfect for families, friends, or special nights out. Every visit is meant to feel comfortable and relaxed.
