Italian Restaurant

Business For Sale Details

Broker has been engaged as exclusive advisor for the sale of a high-volume, full-service Italian restaurant and bar serving an affluent Northern New Jersey suburb about 30 minutes from Midtown Manhattan. Opened in 2019, the business has grown revenue in every year on record across four streams under one roof: dine-in (120 seats plus a 50-seat patio, April – October), bar, takeout and delivery, and catering and private events. Its standout asset is a rare on-premise liquor license, one of only two in the municipality and the only one active, acquired in July 2025 and capitalized at $600K. The founding owners are exiting; the management team, in place since day one, is staying with new ownership.
A rare license, only just coming into play. The municipality’s only active on-premise
license, permitted to 2 a.m.; FY2025 carried barely five months of bar salesand no full
mature year has been traded yet.
Growth in every year on record. An 18% revenue CAGR from FY2021 to FY2025, then
+41.4% in FY2025; seven months to July 2026 of $4.70M, tracking 22.7% ahead on a fullyear basis.
Strong cash margins. 61.3% gross margin and $2.0M adjusted EBITDA at 30.3% in
FY2025; $2.31M at 28.7% on the 2026 run-rate.
Exceptionally affluent catchment. Median household income of about $245K within one
mile, roughly three times the U.S. median; the highest Italian-ancestry share of any state.
A tenured team that is staying. 35 employees, 80% with the business since 2019; every
manager since inception; founders support the transition.
