“Great pizza, very friendly staff. I walked in the dining room entrance and a kind employee immediately asked me what I needed and led me over to the counter at the other side of the store. Pizza was ready in 20 minutes after ordering on the phone and it tasted great. Plain pie was an 8.2/10, great sauce and cheese with a good thin crust. If I could change anything I would have liked the crust to have a bit more of a crunch to it but I’m really not complaining, it’s awesome pizza and I would absolutely return for more.“
“Been to this restaurant a number of times over the last year. Have never been disappointed. Went to dinner this past Saturday night; we were a total of 10 people. Food was delicious; I had the Tripe appetizer and Pork Chops! Service was awesome; thank you Isabella! Going back again Easter Sunday... Can't Wait!“
“Pizza was great All of the staff is running around to get carry out orders. Conversations between employees and customers reminded me of the area I grew up in outside Chicago. Family spot where everyone knows everyone. Loved every minute of it!!!“
“Always loved the food from Ray's, never disappointed. Recently had them cater for a family event and their customer service was amazing. We had to reschedule last minute and Marco was so understanding and accommodating. Highly recommend for pizza night or events!“
“Vinny is a great guy that owns the establishment. And Antonio is a great server. Very friendly and always remember us. Pasta Primavera is delicious and the vodka sauce is great. Even when we order takeout, it's piping hot. Pizza is great too and the bruschetta of you're dining in.“
“I started coming here about a year ago after taking a job in the area. Salerno’s has been consistently awesome every single time I go which is at least once a week. I have had pizzas, salads, hot and cold sandwiches, their paninos, and everything I have had has been awesome! They greet me by name every time I come in. They are great people who truly care that you enjoy what they prepare for you. This is not you average restaurant. I can’t say enough good things about Salerno’s! Highly recommend!!“
“Greatest little Italian restaurant on Hylan Blvd. Food- Fantastic, Service- Superb, Ambiance-Amazing...their pre-fixed menus are the best and the prices are absolutely wonderful. I just had my 2nd party there and Robert took care of the set-up over the phone while Chris and his people handled the rest on Sunday March 10th. What was supposed to be a small family dinner for the 4 of us for our daughter's 6th birthday, turned into a small party of 17...they even got us her cake which was delicious, super fresh & super cute. I highly recommend Giuliana's not only for a party but even a night out for dinner with the family if you're not in the mood to cook & clean up afterwards. Our 1st dinner party was August 1st after our wedding at city hall on Richmond Terrace, that was during the week and for 12 people. The price did not match the outstanding service and brilliant mouth watering taste of the food, we could not stop talking about & praising Giuliana's for days afterwards & could not wait to have another gathering there which we did to celebrate our daughters birthday. Ask for Robert...tell him the Calvano's (Michael & Stephen) sent you“
“The other night we went to Sapori for dinner. We walked in and were greeted warmly. The staff here is super friendly and very accommodating. They seated us at our table by a window. The restaurant has a warm, romantic vibe with beautiful art work. We were given menus which is extensive and you have a lot to choose from plus they also had specials. They bring out bread, eggplant caponata and butter. I thought it was really good and different than just the traditional bread and butter option. We decided to go with fried calamari for an app. It was perfect.. Very crunchy, fresh.. lightly seasoned! Served with fresh tomato sauce. A rather large portion to share. Next for dinner I had a special- pistachio encrusted Chilean sea bass with citrus glaze and roasted veggies and potatoes. This was such a delightful dish. The fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The pistachios were so good on top of the fish and the glaze balanced the dish. The veggies were crunchy and seasoned perfectly with garlic and butter. I really enjoyed this dish. The linguine with white clam sauce. Was fresh and extremely delicious. This dish was packed with clams and a ton of roasted garlic. I must say the pasta dishes are very large. Lastly spaghetti with marinara the sauce was fresh and we really enjoyed it. the spaghetti was more thicker like a bucatini. And unfortunately it was a tad under done. It needed a minute or two in the water to be perfectly al dente. Other than that this was a perfect dinner. For dessert we ordered the chocolate lava cake and tiramisu. It seemed like it was home made. Lava cake tasted amazing it was accompanied by vanilla ice cream. the tiramisu was light and not too sweet. Cappuccino was perfect not bitter or overly milky. By far I really enjoyed Sapori and I would def recommend coming here for dinner. The ambience, staff and food were extremely enjoyable! Parking in street. Small parking lot.“
“The food was very good and the service was great. Love the mini sherbet they brought after the appetizers. The food portions were a nice size. After dinner, they brought us limoncello on the house.The only thing I did not like was that I felt like I was in a wedding hall and not a restaurant.I will be back because I loved what we ate and how the owners were very attentive as well as the waiters.“
“A great find! Love the creative menu and the food continually impresses - whether the seafood, steaks, or traditional Italian. The Bolognese and the Calamari are always on point. The service really stands out, especially Juan and the attentive bus staff.“
“Phenomenal sandwiches and other italian fare. Fried ravioli are must-trys. The sandwich selection is HUGE, and you can have them make any sandwich you like. I had the Mel Brooks (pastrami, corned beef, swiss, cole slaw, Russian dressing) on a panini. Absolutely delicious. Needed about five napkins as it was so juicy and savory. Will be coming back repeatedly and will try the italian egg rolls next time.“
“Amazing meal. Ivan was our server. Went out of his way to tend for our every need.Good was cooked to perfection. Artichokes & Non as meatballs for apps, Short-rib & Chicken Scarpiello for entrees.Will be back. Frankie, you killed this! Love it!“
“I love love LOVE this place. The owners are two old school Sicilians that reminded me of my Nonna and Nonno growing up, and the pizza was phenomenal! I also got their manicotti, and the sauce they make is exquisite. I'd absolutely recommend them, without question.“
“Recommended to us, which we are glad for - as we would have never walked in on our own. Visited for a late lunch. The entire menu is dynamic and unique. The portion sizes are small by NY standards but were how we really should eat - reminiscent of how it is in Italy.The 17yr old waitress we had was extremely professional, attentive & overall very pleasant.The thing I would comment on is the ambiance (think ice cream shop (way too bright) lighting and diner type furnishings) does not match the high quality of their food.We had one glass of wine, a soda, beef carpaccio appetizer, truffle gnocchi & osso bucco, one dessert & a cup of tea. $160 after tip.Would return to try other entrees for the delicious food & great service. Just not as a romantic dinner or celebration, solely because of the lighting & decor.“
“La Lupa consistently provides an excellent culinary experience. We love their take on nouveau Italian cuisine and the use of outstanding local or Italian imported products is first rate. It is a small restaurant and difficult to get a reservation so be persistent it is worth it. Also be prepared for a vibrant pulse --they enjoy their techno beat which will sometime overwhelm your ability to converse.“
“First, I must say our server James, was absolutely outstanding! The best! We enjoyed everything we ordered but have to say the Wagyu Short Rib was off the charts fantastic! The best we've ever had! The Charred clams are noteworthy too! To end the night, we had the best Carrot cake, not sure if this was made in house or not but it was the best as well!“
“Olivia’s II is an enchanting Italian restaurant which I was delighted to discover. Everything about it made you feel at home and cared about as family. It is one of those places whereby you might be having a difficult day only to have that change by the hospitality and quality of food. I always enjoy the pizza with sausage and anchovies as well as the Brooklyn pie which is also “heavenly”. The chicken parmigiana with linguine, garlic and oil alters your feeling state and makes you smile.It is delicious! I have never been disappointed and frequent this wholesome haven regularly.Dietary restrictions: The food is cooked to order and they also have vegetarian and gluten free options.“
“I ordered stuffed pepperoni garlic knots w/ vodka sauce and a grilled chicken Cesar salad wrap, did not disappoint!!! Food was great and delivered rather quickly. The few times I called for take out, they are always so nice over the phone, as well as the delivery drivers. Thank you Italian Touch for good dinners :)“
“Great place to enjoy a nice casual, comfortable, and professional place to eat. I enjoyed the service, and it was B.Y.O.B. I recommend a nice night out with your lady, she's worth it. Take her here, and make sure you can afford it..worth every penny!“
“I can’t say enough good things about this place. The food is delicious and fresh. Customer service is top notch. We love their daily specials!! Rice balls, banana pudding, porchetta, prosciutto are all amazing sandwiches are big that I always have leftovers Competitors serve way less for the amount they charge. Quality food like this is WORTH the money.“
“This is a 5 star establishment!! Thank you guys for being here !Parking: Huge parking lot next door. A-little busy during the day but after 5 everyone leaves the office complex next door . But even then he’s got a couple reserved spots for BELOs right next door .“
“I’ve gone a few times now had such great lunch and dinner here, also have taken food to go as well! Was just as delicious, the next day!The space is welcoming, they will accommodate the size of your party, adding tables/chairs to insure everyone is comfortable!Toddler friendly and approved! (Highchairs on hand)The service is so warm, friendly and attentive! The music and atmosphere is perfect for a family and/or friends night.I really appreciate the feeling of happiness when I’ve gone everyone is very busy but will always make sure to notice you and get you seated as soon as there is availability!It’s always busy and buzzing I love that about this place. I never feel rushed either the food is delicious we like to try a lot of dishes so we get to enjoy that in a timely manner and my kids really enjoy seeing other kids around having a great time playing, singing dancing whatever kids normally do!So If you enjoy food! Family! Friends! Kids! Happiness this place is a must!Not a tired stuffy or uptight place! Go elsewhere for that!Thank you!Kid-friendliness: Amazing! Kids having a wonderful time playing and enjoying a restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere!Wheelchair accessibility: There’s a ramp“
“Slice has quickly become our preferred destination. We appreciate every aspect of this establishment, particularly our support for family-run businesses due to their commitment to quality, consistency, and fair pricing. Frank makes the whole experience a very comfortable environment. Looking forward to visiting again, Frank!“
“We went for my birthday and what a gift it was. The service by Lea was amazing, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.The owner kept checking on us to see if we needed anything. And the food, oh the food was outstanding. Their strip steak was absolutely delicious melted in your mouth perfectly cooked and prepared. If you haven’t tried it there yet I absolutely recommend you do.Parking: I found a spot right outside and so did the other 2 cars that came with us. I went on a Wednesday night don’t know if that matters, there’s still plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: They were so patient and kind with my 3 grandchildren.“
“I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could. My mom had my dad's 85th birthday party at Mimmo's . The owner, Domenico, was incredibly flexible to the different possibilities my mom was interested in. Day of the party, his son Ralph personally took care of the main table where my parents were. ALL the staff was wonderful and attentive. But my parents were treated with incredible respect. The food was amazing!!! Our family kept raving over how delicious everything was. Course after course, one dish after another, just delicious. And the Nutella zeppolis for dessert - WOW, simply decadent. * A small detail - when signing the contract, while I was excited about the Nutella zeppolis, my mom mentioned "eh, she could do without the Nutella". Ralph remembered that and put out trays half with and half without the Nutella. Made EVERYONE happy! Thank you for everything. We'll definitely be back.“
“My dish was delicious ?. Clean place and good parking space. We went early. Server was nice. Not many menu choices which is why I gave 4stars. One other note bread was hard and cold. It would be nice to have soft warm bread ?. (This is my opinion no reflection on rating) Atmosphere was fantastic.“
“Great brunch, food was delicious, lovely place. I hate to say this the kid that was our waiter needs some coaching he was missing in action. Always at the bar playing with his phone instead of checking on us. We had keep trying to get his attention. We even had the bus boy get him twice. Will definitely go back.“
“It was pretty good! Nice date with my partner. I would say the food was quick and appetizers were good. Definitely come dressed nice the ambiance seemed for fine dining, which is fine just a little odd for the location. Waiter was good and friendly, but I will say there is no drink menu with prices so just prepped to pay lol.“
“Our family was going to have a repast for my mother in law. We weren't sure where to have it. So we went to Nonna's and spoke to Joe the owner. We were not sure of the exact amount of people but Joe gave us option 1 if it was 20 or less, option 2 if 20-30 people. Joe could not have been any more friendly or helpful. He was so nice. He then gave us salad, appetizer and main course suggestions. He told us Melissa, Bill and Greg would be our servers. They were absolutely awesome and their attention to detail was top notch. The meatball sliders were a huge hit and our family raved about how great all the food was. My wife and I have been back since, and have even ordered take out for a family function. Friends that came up from Florida said the next time they come to visit NJ, their first place to go for dinner is Nonna's Cucina in Englishtown. Again, many thanks to Joe, Melissa, Bill and Greg.“
“We gave it 5 stars as we like down home, mom and pop locally owned Italian restaurants and it did not disappoint as the decor was just how we like it, Homey and Warm.Since our beloved Tuzzio’s in Long Branch closed due to Joe retiring we ventured to Red Bank to the New Corner Italian Restaurant and after passing this establishment for 22 years we stopped in carrying our own Wine….yes it’s BYOB.I ordered the chicken parm with a side salad and spaghetti and my wife ordered Zuppa de Pesci, it was all very flavorful and authentic, we will be back.One last thing Stephanie the waitress was awesome.“
“Dinner at Toscanella was perfection! I had lasagne comparable to my homemade. My husband had a huge portion of eggplant Parmesan. Entrees came with a healthy mixed salad. Loved it! Everyone was friendly and attentive. Prices reasonable ,BYOB and great meal. Our new favorite!“
“No one can beat your cheese steaks. I had one yesterday from another restaurant and it was terrible. They used slices of yellow American which were hardly melted.. We ordered other food too , which I wasn't overlall thrilled with. VINNYS Old Bridge going forward 100%.“
“The pizza here is so freaking good and it’s not the crazy prices that most places are charging nowadays. Way better than La Madonna down the street & less expensive & the staff are WAY friendlier. I live in jersey city & work in New York and eat pizza way too much and Amano trumps 95% of places I’ve ever tried. Along with the prices and friendly staff, I would go out of my way and drive further to come here any day of the week. I got a spinach artichoke slice, a couple grandma slices, an Italian roll & a buff chicken roll and every bite of all of these were so yummy. I don’t leave reviews often but I really really really like this place. Would suggest.“
“It was my first time going there and I ordered a vodka fresh mozzarella cheese pizza and was one of the best pizzas I've had the service was good the owner was polite I would definitely go back again it's very convenient to get to right off of routeParking: There's plenty located in a strip mall right off of route 79 in morganville very easy access In-N-OutWheelchair accessibility: There is handicap parking right out in front of the place with a ramp right next to go“
“First time dinning at Piccolino’s and it was a pleasant experience!Serving staff was knowledgeable of the menu, attentive of our needs. Our water glasses were never empty.Our cocktail were excellent! The wine was a good size pour!All of our cocktails, appetizers, main course, coffee and dessert were all packed with great flavors!My pork chop was HUGE accompanied by seasonal vegetables and potatoes.Judging from the empty plates of my fellow guest theirs were delicious too.And as an added bonus they had a cruder singing in the style of Frank Sinatra supper club! He was a bit too loud but had a great voice and played all the classics!First timer but won’t be the last! They get a well deserved 5 ***** Star review!“
“Celebrated a few special occasions here and each time was nothing less than AWESOME! Great atmosphere and they treat each guest like family.Food and drinks are great. Service is excellent and the entertainment is engaging and lots of fun. Great singing!Definitely a great spot for a special celebration or just a great night out!“
“Delicious food, always very fresh & made with love just like home made. Owner John is very friendly and courteous. Our new go to place. Thank you John. You are a great addition to our local community. I highly recommend for everyone to try this restaurant.“
“Phone ordering was simple and easy. The person taking the order was knowledgeable and offered to apply day specials to my order even when I didn’t know about it. Payment was processed over the phone with no problems. Pick up was in time and the food was ready and hot as it should be. Aside from all that, it was delicious. We love Big Boy’s Pizza. Thank you.“
“Absolutely delicious pizza and what a wonderful owner. Delivered Pizza to my whole football team at Bloomingdale Park completely on time fully equipped with everything for the girls. There wasn’t even a slice left and we ordered eight pies. completely recommend this restaurant and we cannot go back to eat there and we are definitely having our seasonal football parties here! Thank you Mario!“
“Was here for a bridal shower. The menu was plentiful. It was a party menu however it offered a fair variety of choices. The wait staff was attentive and the wait time for food was fair. Food was delicious and was of a fair serving size.“
“It was a very busy night but we were able to be seated right away. The waitress was very friendly and realized we were celebrating Ramadan; she made us aware if there was pork in any of the food we were ordering and asked if we would like to customize our choices, if possible.The food was very good and each person who brought anything to our table was very courteous. There were just two moments of not being able to eat while waiting for grated cheese & and for someone so we could ask for salt.We were asked when the food was brought out if we would like grated cheese; but they never came back. The hostess noticed as soon as we started looking around and came over to see if we needed something. She brought grated cheese instantly.We wanted a little salt on the salad, but there was none on the table, and it took a bit before I was able to ask for it.Being it was busy, we assumed they were busy or got distracted.All and all... for as busy as it was, the two moments were not as bad as it could have been and definitely worth choosing to eat there.Highly recommend“
“Best place for pizza in the area. Food is consistently great no matter what you order but specifically their bruschetta slice and vodka slices are out of this world. The people who work there are very kind too and no matter how busy the place is the service is usually pretty fast.“
“We started with a couple of appetizers, fried chicken wings, and the fried mozzarella triangles. Which were really tasty. Then we ordered the Margherita pie and the Carnevale (meat lovers). They were perfectly done and had such a delicious sauce. We look forward to going back again soon.“
“Busy little spot. I love the complimentary bread. It came fresh out of the oven. So good. The lasagna didn’t look like the most appetizing dish but it was very good. I liked the flavor. The meatballs were decent. A little bland but my son loved them. The beet salad had more mixed greens than beets. Pet peeve of mine. The branzino was ok. The zeppoles were awesome. Get them with nutella. Service was great and I would come back. Check it out!“
“I love their pizza. Great crust and toppings (sauce and peppers) Their White Pie is good. I got mine with Broccoli. The Broccoli pieces were big which I had no problem but if you prefer smaller maybe ask them to cut them smaller.I also got their Fried calamari, which I did not like too much because it was mix with Fried Octopus, I wish it had all ring Calamari .“
“I usually pick up my orders due to the condition of my pizza when I order delivery but I ordered in tonight. I was pleasantly surprised to find my pizza not sloshed to one side, the cheese to sauce ratio was perfect! I don't usually write reviews but I had to let it be known that Chiafullos is on the up and up! I will definitely be ordering again!“
“Great fresh food! I had the grilled chicken Cesar salad! My granddaughter and boyfriend had the cheese steak! Everything was so fresh and was awesome! The chicken in the salad was delicious!! We also had the garlic knots!Parking: Large Parking lot on the side of the building!Kid-friendliness: Tables outside to eat. It was a nice day so we sat outside!“
“Absolutely delicious Italian pizza, pasta and entrees! There are so many pizza choices, my favorites were the grilled chicken Caesar salad and the Grandma with a sesame seed crust, soooo yummy! We shared the seafood salad with large shrimp, mussels and tender calamari and the beautiful cold cut platter. The pasta with bolognese was fabulous and so was the chicken francese. They even have gluten free pizza and pasta. Finish with cappuccino and the oh so fresh cannolis and zeppoles. Bring the entire clan as the prices are very reasonable at this wonderful family friendly restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pasta and pizzaKid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly“
“Had my daughters first birthday party here after looking at multiple other restaurants. This restaurant had the nicest party room and the food was delicious. The day of the party, I was able to come early to decorate and set up. The owner and his family were very kind and helped set up the room and accommodated our requests.They continually checked in throughout the event to make sure we were happy and if we needed anything. The waitresses made sure we had enough food and the kids were all given kids meals which they loved. My guests raved about the chicken francese and baked clams.It was a great day and I felt very at peace knowing how helpful staff was and didn't have to worry about the party going smoothly. Definitely recommend Ruoccos!“
“Just had my daughters engagement party here. The staff is amazing from booking everything with Joe to going over all the details with Maria- She has the patience of a saint! They really have a beautiful room and everything went flawlessly. The food was delicious. We had the fried Calamari, Brushetta, Fried Shrimp appetizers and then Veal Marsala, Chicken Franciase, Eggplant Rollatini, roast potatoes and vegetables. I was blown away by how good the food was- super tender and flavorful. The wait staff was amazing and so helpful- they work so hard and go the extra step to make sure everything went as planned. Thank you Donna for untangling my balloons! Tom is a great bartender- friendly and very funny! Everyone had a wonderful time and was super impressed with everything. If you are on the fence about booking a party here...DO IT! You will not be disappointed at all.“
