The Appian Way | Our Story
The La Banca family's home
You're in the La Banca family's home on Langdon Street in Orange, New Jersey.
Since 1975
We're a family-run restaurant, and more than one generation of the family has worked here. Other restaurants have come and gone on the tides of trends, and we've stayed true to our heritage.
Bobby, your host
Bobby La Banca is our owner and your host. He treats everyone like family, whether you're here for dinner or planning a party.
The Via Appia
Our dinner menu opens with the story of the Via Appia, the road of ancient Rome begun in 312 BC by Appius Claudius Caecus. It ran 350 miles from Rome to Capua, and parts of it are still used today.
Take your time
True to the Italian way, we want you to relax and linger over the food and wine. And to everyone who has come back over the years, thank you.
