This winter has been especially cold, and all one wants in these frigid temperatures is a comforting meal in a warm, inviting space. For those looking to enjoy a meal that satisfies both the heart and belly, Segovia, located at 150 Moonachie Road is the place to be. Family-owned and operated for nearly four decades, Segovia continues to gather loyal guests time and time again. Read on to learn more about Segovia, a beloved Moonachie gem.
The Restaurant
Segovia Restaurant sits on a quiet street in the small town of Moonachie. A warmly lit, old-school atmosphere greets guests. There’s nothing flashy here — just a homey vibe, almost like walking into your grandmother’s house, with the irresistible aroma of a tempting meal in the air. Soft string lights hang from the ceiling, adding to the intimate, welcoming atmosphere.
What truly sets Segovia apart is the staff. The dedicated team greets guests with huge smiles, focusing on providing an exceptional dining experience. It’s immediately apparent that this is where people come to celebrate — large groups are the norm, and the sounds of “Happy Birthday” echo through the space as patrons make their way to their tables.

Segovia’s cuisine embodies the essence of a family-style meal, with generous portions that are suitable for sharing. It’s an ideal spot for appreciating a cozy, hearty feast with loved ones. The flavors, ingredients, and cooking techniques all reflect the dishes served at the owners’ family table, giving each meal an intimate touch that feels both authentic and comforting.
The expansive menu can be a bit overwhelming but in the best way possible. For those looking to enjoy some fun beverages, Segovia has a full bar with inviting cocktails, but the sangria truly steals the spotlight. Our recommendation is to order a pitcher for the table — it disappears quickly. Segovia organizes its menu into sections, beginning with tapas (over 30 to choose from), followed by daily specials, featured seafood, cuts of red meat, traditional seafood dishes, more meat varieties (including chicken, pork, and veal), and flavorful sides to complete any meal. If there is room for dessert, don’t miss the homemade flan — it’s a must-try.
