“I had the special cheese steak (steak, cheese, peppers, onions, and potato). One of the best, and hottest, sandwiches I've ever hadQuite literally I had to wait at least 10 minutes for my sandwich to cool enough to take a bite, and it was steaming the whole time I scarfed it down! This is a great thing, a hot sandwich should be hot as hell for the best flavor, and this place does it right“
“The food is always good. The server I had was kind, pleasant and helpful. So much so that it's haunting me that I didn't have my glasses and realized when I got home that I may have undertipped her. I'm going to go back and give her the tip she deserves; it was that good!“
“This is the best restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life. They really do treat you like family and are absolutely amazing all around. Then the food. Oh, the food is just to die for! I live in Cincinnati and only get this when I travel here for my grooming show/competition yearly. If I could travel here more or move here for just this place, I would. I got to sit at the bar this last time, and the gentlemen I met and my waitresses treated me wonderfully. I got the 4-seasons pizza which gave me more choices in one pizza. Highly recommend!“
“I have dined here for many years and thought the food was equal to surrounding places. This past year they have kicked it up a notch by revising the menu and creating special occasion experiences. The specialty cocktails are amazing and specialty menu items unique and delicious.I dined on the Lobster stuffed Agnolotti with champagne blush sauce, Excellent! The Love Potion cocktail was quite yummy as well.Look for those special occasion nights and give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.“
“Came here with my family for a goodbye dinner, and I have to say it was quite cozy and cute inside. They are a BYOB restaurant, so we brought our own wine and our waiter opened and poured it for us throughout the visit making sure our glasses were always full. I strongly suggest they type up the specials for people to read and to view prices. The waiter told us the specials from memory; so of course, all three of us had questions to ask and the waiter was getting angry that we couldn’t remember all of what he just said. After we order, we receive these absolutely delicious breadsticks and they were gracious enough to bring out seconds! I ordered the meatballs as an appetizer, I thought they were really tasty and juicy! I ordered the Chicken Milanese as my entree. I thought the chicken was a bit dry and super thin, it definitely looked like a large piece of chicken but was very deceiving. I was very excited for dessert because I was told by the lady that everything was homemade. I also work in the restaurant industry; I recognized 3 of the desserts right away being from a restaurant company. She then told me that the Tiramisu was a family recipe of theirs and let me say this, it is a must try for sure. Tiramisu is a favorite of mine and it did not disappoint! The lady also sold me on ordering her cappuccino because she makes them really good; it was good and extra foamy. Overall, it was a nice experience. However, I don’t think I will be coming back anytime soon due to the prices. If I knew 3 meatballs were going to be $19 I would have skipped it. Same for some of the other dishes, especially on the specials menu. I get they are going for a more upscale feel but having your waiter and waitress sit a table away from you eating and talking with other workers doesn’t really give off that vibe.“
“Lived here over 5 years and never checked this place out. My daughter and I went for a quick bite tonight. The pizza was delicious! And everyone was so warm and friendly! I'm from NY and I'm picky about my pizza! Definitely go check them out!!“
“Do you like authentic thin crust Italian pie? I do! This is why I love their pizza. I love the bubble in the crust with just the right amount of cheese to sauce ratio. I always ask for very little cheese on my Margherita pizza and more sauce. They get it perfect every time. I liked it better than the pie I had in Naples.“
“Heading to Hopatcong State Park and my husband remembered this little pizza place made excellent pizza. He brought out 3 slices. I'm from NY, my mom is from Brooklyn, we know pizza. I have to say, this pizza tastes authentic homemade; especially the crust. And good mozzarella too! I do not typically like sweet tomatoes sauce, but this one was spot on. Will definitely be back!“
“This is the best Italian restaurant in the area. Not only is the food delicious, but the staff is just so kind. Every time we come here we feel so welcomed and well taken care of. Truly love supporting this business and so glad we found it when we moved here!“
“Came here 2 years ago 10 minutes before closing and made an offer on pizza they most likely planned to throw out. I paid 20 bucks for 5 boxes of miscellaneous high end pizza slices they were going to get rid of anyways and went home a happy man, me and my buddies smacked on decedent, delicious, classic Italian pizza for 3 hours straight and it was the highlight of our trip to NYC (we got pizza on the way back) One of the workers there watched Dragonball Z and we complimented one of the drawings he had drew on the wall of a character from the show. The whole staff was super nice and loved serving us. I will be coming back here in the future.“
“The gentleman at the counter knew the customers by name and vice versa. I ordered an x-large pie to go, grabbed a Coke and tried a slice on the ride home. WOW....this pizza is exceptional! Friendly staff. Clean and relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely be back. If you haven't tried them, do yourself a favor. You wont be disappointed. If you like pizza, this place is for you. Wish I ordered two.“
“We have been coming to the Windlass for years so when our son requested that it be the venue for the rehearsal dinner for his recent wedding, we were happy to comply. It did not disappoint! Food, service and atmosphere were all excellent. We were excited to show our out of state guests how beautiful NJ really is. Thank you to Donna and everyone involved.“
“This place is amazing! The pizza, wings, macaroni, and pasta salad are all out of this world. The owner made sure that the oil was changed before making my wings, because after cooking eggplant, the quality of the oil was not up to her standards, which I greatly appreciated. I had mentioned to the owner that I had just moved in and before I took my food to go, she was kind enough to offer me paper plates, which I desperately needed, top notch customer service.“
“This place is excellent . In the center of Netcong and there pizza and dinners are excellent always . The service is great and the staff is very friendly. It’s worth the drive from where we live driving half hour for great Italian food . If you’re looking for a great Italian pizzeria & restaurant run by Italians this is the place to go. Food is always good !“
“Excellent restaurant with high quality food and daily specials. Nice variety of mixed drinks with a cozy bar. Relaxing and friendly atmosphere with nice clean decor. Ask for Heidi when you go!! She was an attentive and outgoing waitress. The bar pie is the best in the area!!! Looking forward to making this restaurant our go to place!“
“Meet up some old pals for dinner, good food and service also no rush on dinner, they let us hang around and catch up on life.Parking: Large!Kid-friendliness: We were kid less there, but there were other children around.Wheelchair accessibility: Nice ramp up into the building.“
“I love their sauce! One of my favorite pizzas in the area. My bf and I also love their tortellini carbonara and one meal is more than enough for us to split! Their chicken wings are good too. And if you’re looking for something a little different, try any one of their sandwiches (hot or cold) on a panini. You won’t be sorry. I enjoy the cheesesteak panini.“
“Landed here by chance but it was our lucky day we did. The service and the food was phenomenal. Marianna was a sweetheart, and she attended to our needs very nicely.We had Muscles and two different pastas, and they were all out of this world! We live in North Jersey and I have not eaten such fresh and delicious food up there. Yes it’s a hole in the wall but you can go to a fancy restaurants that overcharges you but will not give you this kind of authentic flavors!Looking forward to coming back every time we come near here.“
“I’ve never had anything but excellent pizza from Sorrento’s. It’s a very solid, local pizza place. I always order it in advance and then walk to pick it up and the guys in there are always super friendly. If you are picking up, it’s easy to park on the street right in front and pop in a grab your food. All I want from a regular old school pizza place is good pizza and Sorrento’s never disappoints.“
“My wife and a good friend ate at Mia Nonna's yesterday. I have never given a restaurant a review because I never felt compelled to. That changed yesterday. The first thing we noticed was the fantastic attitude of the staff. Eager and constantly at our service. Then there was the food. Excellent and generous portions. And served HOT! First, we started with an order of the Fresh Fried Calamari. Shared 3 ways it was excellent. I had the veal saltimbocca. As another reviewer commented, I got two very large portions of veal, pounded so thin it was almost as thin as the prosciutto. Served with broccoli, carrots, and roasted potatoes. One of my favorites when dining Italian. This was one of the best. My wife had the special veal dish and my friend had the penne alla scampi. Everything was excellent. We finished with dessert, home made creme brûlée, spumoni bomba (strawberry pistachio and chocolate gelato covered with chocolate). The wait staff was excellent and always there meeting our needs. And equally important to seniors with hearing aids, it was quiet with gentle background music. A very pleasant dining experience. We have definitely added Mia Nonna's to our "weekend night out" list. We will be back soon.“
“Causal pizza restaurant but not like your typical pizzeria. It's located in an old house. Friendly staff. Pizza is some of the best in the area! The fettuccine carbonara is also one of their best pasta dishes! Also able to get packaged goods to go. Full bar as well.“
“I’ve probably gone here 100+ times in the last 5-10 years whenever I’m in the area. Every time I order the Chicken Parm Sandwich. Consistently on point. Loaded with Parm so big plus if you love cheese. The owner and service has always been extremely friendly and accommodating. My favorite takeout Italian in the area.“
“Very nice place for food and drinks, waiter was somewhat slow, due to understaffing,tending to very large birthday party. Otherwise on other days, pretty good service and drinks. Try them, you'll become a regular in your first visit.Parking: Good parking and handicap accessible.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, go there, you'll see!!!Wheelchair accessibility: Access by wheelchair, very accessible, ramp in rear of building also, front entry will also accommodate a wheelchair, level first floor.“
“We frequently order from Enzo's for our office, not only is the food excellent the service a fantastic. Always consistent, always reliable. We love Enzo's if you haven't tried them yet, you are missing out. Everything is delicious and fresh. You will not be disappointed make them your go to for everything from Pizza, salads, sandwiches and more! I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant the owner and his son are absolutely wonderful.“
“Frank's is our favorite pizza place in the area. We have lived around here for 20+ years and have tried others but Frank's rose to the top and has stayed there. Our kids now live away from the area and whenever they are back one of our meals has to be Frank's! Great pizza! Favorites are the Tammy's Special and their BLT Pizza, but the plain cheese, pepperoni, or sausage are always a hit too. Some of my kids LOVE the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Service has always been good... great for sit down/dine in or take out. One of my sons just tried the gluten free pizza and thought it was really good too. Their sandwiches (chicken parm, meatball, california chicken) are great too.Dietary restrictions: Son just tried their gluten free pizza and thought it was really good.“
“Solid elevated Italian, in a charming house in historic Chester. We met friends who frequent Benito's and really enjoyed it. Despite the cold winter weather outside, it was warm and cozy, and festive for the holidays inside. Starter Asparagus Parmigiano - coming from California, we don't typically see asparagus in the winter, but it was delish. Main Course Cavatelli Calabrese for me! Ricotta pasta with sausage, broccoli rabe, cherry peppers in garlic and oil - hold the peppers Cavatelli with broccoli is my go-to pasta and reminds me of my Grandma. I must order it whenever it's on a menu. It sparks joy and floods me with happy memories. I asked for no peppers but my friend got it with peppers and loved it too. The guys tried a few of the veal dishes and licked their plates clean. Dessert We ended the night with classic, delicious cannoli, lemon cake, and espressos. This is a BYO restaurant so be sure to bring wine if you want any. The friendly staff will open and pour for you.“

“We recently had catering from Uncle Sal's Pizza in Budd Lake for our large Christmas party, and we were thoroughly impressed with the experience. Their catering menu is incredibly extensive, offering us a wide array of options to choose from. With a large number of guests and various dietary restrictions to consider, it was our first time hosting a party and having food catered for us. We collaborated with the restaurant to create a diverse menu that accommodated everyone's needs while ensuring we had just the right amount of food.We greatly appreciated the restaurant's guidance to prevent us from over-ordering. They delivered the food promptly and assisted us in setting everything up seamlessly. However, what truly stood out was the quality of the food. Every item was outstanding, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. Many asked where we had ordered the food, as it was not only delicious but also served hot and fresh.We will undoubtedly turn to Uncle Sal's Pizza for all our future catering needs. Their pricing was also very reasonable, making it a fantastic value for the exceptional food and service they provided. Uncle Sal's Pizza in Budd Lake is a reliable choice for making any event a success. Highly recommended!“
“This was the best meal of our lives. Picture this - three starving girls. We haven’t eaten in approximately 5 hours. So we were HANGRY. We ordered a large plain pie, buffalo wings, and the delectable garlic bread. Words cannot describe how absolutely delicious this meal was. We were RAVENOUS. We inhaled the food within 10 minutes and left three slices for later. The wings were juicy, the sauce was FANTASTIC - the perfect amount of spice. Do NOT get me started on the garlic bread. I swear i entered heaven with my first bite. The pizza left me SPEECHLESS, i haven’t felt this happy in so long. We literally could not speak as we devoured the food like starving street rats. All we could do was nod our heads, say “mmmhmm” and “yup”. This was a religious experience, especially during this holy time of the year. I would recommend this fine establishment to anyone. I would more than reccomend. I want to go outside, and get on the roof, and scream “GO TO SONNYS” to the surrounding area. Thank you to our kind delivery man who told us to enjoy - we enjoyed it more than they could ever know.“
“Best wings in the area. I always get the slammin hot and ask them to add some sauteed garlic to the sauce. It's a game changer. Great family restaurant and bar. I've had drinks with adults and had wonderful family meals with my toddlers. Great service and the prices are reasonable.“
“Nice, cozy spot, family restaurant with a nice bar. My daughter loved her ziti with meatball. My wife really enjoyed her chicken over pasta, and I was surprised by the quality of the prime rib king cut. The prime rib was fresh, tender, and juicy. It was a bit under seasoned, but it didn't matter at all. The quality of the meat was really impressive. There was no photo of dessert, but the apple crisp was warm and delicious.“
“I have never done a review , good or bad but I had to for Cinders. What a great experience. From the food, service , atmosphere I could not have asked for anything better. I had my daughter in laws baby shower there on Sunday and have been receiving phone calls and texts all day about how great it was. The food and selection was wonderful. The service was by far the best we have had in a long time. Friendly and very accommodating. I highly recommend Cinders for a party or lunch/ dinner . Can't say enough. It was perfect !!!“
“This place seems like a treasure to find. They are a bakery, an Italian deli, a sit-down restaurant, and a terrific brick oven pizzeria. Was taken excellent care of by Gary, who made our delicious pizzas to order.We also got some great desserts, including canoli.This whole experience was fantastic. We will be coming back soon.My appreciation to all who made things wonderful.“
“Awesome place with amazing pizza. I love the Sicilian with peppers, onions and pepperoni. I just wish they had rice balls available and didn't use that bbq tasting Cluck You sauce on their buffalo wings. I always ask for my wings naked so I can toss them in real buffalo sauce when I get home. Also a great place to have a beer while you're waiting for takeout.“
“We were passing through Chester and needed something quick to eat that wasn't from a coffee shop or Wendy's. Bella's sign caught my attention and there was a parking spot right out front, it was meant to be. We ordered a couple of slices and enjoyed them by the window with a soccer game on TV. It was a week before Christmas and they were busy working on catering orders it seemed. I'd stop here for a slice again. It tasted good, the seat was comfortable and the staff was friendly, that's all you could really ask for at a pizza place I think.“
“Claude & Joe Branda are amazingThey’re accommodating with last minute reservations even when their books are full.Their staff is amazing for the big parties & for the small tables - lot of local kids - which is great they support the local community.I live in nyc & I know the food I get at brandas is probably better than what I get in the city.Love having family gather there - & the food is out of this world.It’s BYOB which is also niceDon’t miss out on the shrimp with garlic sauce“
