“Attended a birthday party there today with about 80 people in attendance. Everything was delicious. The hot antipast, the tomatoes & motz, and the stuffed artichokes were all very good & in great abundance. The pasta was excellent. I chose the chicken parm for my entree. All no in all a great afternoon. I highly recommend LaStrata“
“This place is a total gem! Food is excellent. And, the best of all, Larry the dining room waiter is better than excellent. He has mastered the art of serving. He does not just serve his customers he conducts a symphony of service. Everything is carefully choreographed to the liking of each table. Absolutely the best of the best old school ristorante. Cannot wait for our next visit!“
“I work at an elementary school and we used to really order a bunch of sandwiches and salads every once in a while. Every time we have ordered, we have been extremely satisfied with not only the food, but the customer service as well. The owners are super sweet and always make sure to accommodate large orders! Thank you!!!“
“My favorite Italian restaurant in NJ. Everything they make is excellent, I love their Arancini, very close to how my mom makes them. For most Italians eating a meatball in a restaurant is blasphemy, but theirs are delicious as well. Can't go wrong here. We cater holidays from them often.“
“Always a wonderful dining experience from the waitstaff to the people bussing the tables.,friendly and polite. The food portions are amazing ad we have uet to finish our meal in one sitting. We usually go there around 5 times a year and have never been disappointed. The waiter Rob is terrific! We recommend this restaurant to all our friends and family. It is a must to go try it!!“
“Picked up this yummy pesto pie! The pizza itself was great, but the atmosphere definitely made it even better. Order was ready right on time during a lunch rush which I really appreciate. Maria took great care of me. I have no complaints and will be recommending and returning very soon!“
“My wife and I had Sunday lunch here with a dear friend. It was our first time at this establishment, and we were not disappointed. From the moment the valet Alejandro parked our car, to the warm ambience, to the top-notch service provided by David, to the generous portions of absolutely delicious food, to the great bottle of Montepulciano, to the decadent desserts, we had a wonderful experience that just continued to get better and better as the meal progressed. My wife and I remarked several times that if we lived closer to this area, we would be eating here constantly! Highly recommended!“
“Very nice place, very easy going, the owner puts you at ease straight away, and it's like having dinner at a friends house, I recommend it to everyone because the food is very good. The quality of the food is high.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“This place is fantastic!!! The pasta was to die for! The lamb pizza I’ve been thinking about since I’ve eaten it! The only hiccup was that they were short staffed in the kitchen so we were there for a very long time AND my husbands steak was over cooked. They did more than enough to make it right and were very apologetic. The place is very cute and homey inside. PLUS BYOB! We will be back again that’s for sure !“
“We absolutely love Due 360! Yesterday was our second time visiting and the service alone is impeccable(Luis, thank you for making the night even more special!), but then add to that the delicious food and ambiance makes for a perfect date night. We enjoyed the steak frites, octopus, garlic shrimp, and burrata! And the sangria was a perfect addition to our meal :) We will definitely be back again!“
“First time visit to this restaurant. Our server Alina was exceptional - made great recommendations. The service was on point. The staff is very efficient. I loved my drink "Pineapple Jalapeno Mockarita". The crab cake, the best we have ever had - no fillers, just fresh crab meat. It's even better than the ones you get in Alaska. Other dishes we ordered including Branzino, Halibut were delicious as well. Portions are big. Next time, we are going to try the salads, we have heard they are great. Memorable experience. Would love to go back.“
“First time bringing my baby to a nice restaurant and not only was the table set up with high chair but there was a lot of space for the stroller. they were very accommodating. great service! My baby loved the bread! My family was very happy with the food.“
“Love this place. We’ve been coming here since we moved to the area 8 years ago. They’ve hosted our first baby shower and my parents birthday party. The food is excellent, I’m partial to the chicken Marsala and chicken francese. They also do a nut free pesto on request which is huge for nut allergy people like myself. The owners and staff are great, and the vibe inside is even better now that they’ve refreshed the place. Go! Bring your family!“
“This place is unbelievable!!! My husband and i went for a quick lunch date and man, our only regret is that we hadn't tried it sooner. We got a salad, broccoli rabe, and the classic pizza to share. Everything was amazing. The pizza was like being back in Italy. We also got the nutella desert which should be illegal. Cannot wait to try our way through the menus. So happy to have this wonderful spot in the neighborhood.“
“Changing my review because it technically wasn't fair. The decor was very pretty. The waitress was nice and my husband enjoyed his pasta even though it was not as described on the menu. My eggplant was not done well and my lack of finishing it should have raised concern with the waitress. Overall it was a pleasant atmosphere and the wine list was extensive.“
“I don’t usually write reviews but this place was too good not to show appreciation for!Amazing service!The atmosphere was a welcoming small Italian kitchen feel with a dining room with warm lighting! They also have a nice back patio if you prefer to sit outside.I ordered a a Classic Caesar Salad with the 8oz strip steak on top. The salad was so flavorful and one of the best I’ve had in a long time! The steak was cooked medium rare and cooked to perfection!I will definitely be returning!Absolutely delicious!“
“When I arrived with my 4 year old daughter, I realized this restaurant may be a little more formal than we expected and not a place that served many kids. However, our experience was wonderful, and I can’t wait to go back. The staff treated my daughter so nicely & made her feel welcome, the food was delicious, they had a nice wine list, and a lot of care went into every detail. This is how a restaurant should be. Everything we ordered was tasty & well prepared, we had a nice swordfish appetizer and whole branzino that was filleted table side. I am looking forward to going back & trying more of their menu items.“
“We took my mom for her 82nd birthday last night. I can't say enough about this restaurant. The food is beyond amazing. Real authentic homeade Italian food you don't find at too many places. The Chef/Owner came out to say hello and meet us. Such a nice and humble guy. The manager and waitress couldn't be nicer. I highly recommend this delicious restaurant. You WILL NOT be disappointed. The BEST around!!!!!!“
“I dined here last night with friends, and it was a 10/10 experience! Everything we ate was delicious, but I cannot stop talking about the ravioli, the homemade cookies, and the steak! The wine was delicious and their selection is endless. The service was some of the best I have ever experienced. Our server was very attentive and we never felt rushed. I cannot wait to go back!“
“I've been looking for a local, full service coffee shop that roasts their own beans, sells coffee/espresso, as well as offers breakfast and lunch.**This IS that place**I couldn't tell from their website, but the posts I saw on insta showed that they serve food, and I'm happy to report that it tastes as good as it looks!Very friendly staff and accommodating. Although it's currently the middle of December, I wanted a macchiato over ice, which wasn't on their menu, but when I asked they happily said 'of course'.Seems like I'm going to have to sign up for their points system because I can tell I'm going to be back here a whole lot more.I'm particularly interested in sampling their beans, just wish i didn't have to buy an entire bag of beans. Why don't these local roasters sell sample packs, allowing you to still purchase a pound of beans, but separated into small batches with samples of each bean type? This would allow me to quickly figure out which bean I want to try without having to buy a single large bag and take a month to go through coffee I don't really like before trying the next type . . . Or maybe i should start roasting my own beans and do this method . . .Anyways, I really like the space they have, they've really made the most of it, very cozy and inviting.Can't wait to go back“
“OUTSTANDING!!! 10 STARS!!! Michael was amazing from the minute we walked in the door. I had my daughters bridal shower here and could not brag enough. The decor was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the venue is immaculate. Michael was very professional and helpful. He guided us, gave great recommendations and his communication was above and beyond!!! The accommodations were incredible, the chef was fabulous and the staff was terrific! I definitely recommend this venue! *****“
“The food is great! So are the reviews Design your own pasta dish -- sauce, pasta, protein, vegetable Home made ingredients, well-flavored, excellent chef from Naples. Very nice deserts too Don't be fooled by strip mall location. Just go!“
“Went there a couple of weeks ago with some friends and was absolutely blown away with the pizza , the quality of the food and the service ! I got the casino pizza and it might’ve been the best pizza I’ve had in morris county . Gianluca the owner also was so helpful with all and any questions we had, if you like Italian food this place is an absolute must !“
“This place was very reasonably priced, an unexpected surprise for the atmosphere. The salad seemed a little small, but everything else was incredible. Fresh hot bread, and probably the best Chicken Francese I've ever had... I highly recommend this place for an amazing meal, with friendly and attentive service in a white tablecloth elegant atmosphere!“
“Our Dinner club had a great time last evening. Food was delicious as expected, everyone enjoyed their dish. We received great service as well. The place had a modern vibe and lively ambience, perfect for a Friday night out. Thanks to James to work out a selective menu for us and ensure smooth service!“
“This honestly was some great food. I’m not gonna lie I be iffy about New Jersey food being from NYC but tbh this was bussin. If you know you know. I’m definitely coming back with my friends, because this is where it’s at! Loved itttt.“
“We had a crowd of about 50 people for an event at Nicholas Anthony and couldn’t have been happier. Leading up to the event we worked with the owner who was responsive and accommodating - answering all our questions. The day of we were blown away by the attentive service of of the wait staff - multiple guests of mine were singing their praises! So friendly and worked so hard- I felt like I was at their home and they were hosting us as friends. Last but not least the food was incredible! The flavors were delicious and the food was in abundance! 10/10 recommend!“
“The place is cute and well-decorated. We waited over 45 minutes after ordering for our food, and then the order was incorrect, so had to wait a bit longer for my full meal. Then waited a long time for the check, etc. Ended up spending about 2.5 hrs in there. I appreciated not being rushed, but I went in there extremely hungry and I am a busy medical student, so I did not anticipate spending so long in there.I will say, our server, Caesar, was stellar! very kind, charismatic, and helpful. Chatty when we wanted to chat, and left us alone when that time came, too. Great server.I forgot to take a photo of my food because I was soooooo hungry when I finally got it! Food was delicious and portion sizes were large.“
“I attended a friend's baby shower here about 6 months ago. Based on the food at the shower, I had been meaning to come back here for dinner. I came with my family this past weekend for Easter, and it was fantastic. Bill was our server. The service, the drinks, and the meal from beginning to end exceeded our expectations. You have found yourself some new regulars. Thank you for a wonderful family evening out.“
“I took my 90-year-old godmother out for dinner. There was an issue with the check, I want to give a shout out to Jeff, in management for handling our situation with professionalism, in a timely fashion and a smile.The Chicken Parm was great!!“
“I really really really like this place. I ordered penne (a form of pasta) with butter alongside my family, and I love this place very much. The penne is beyond the term exquisite and the butter with it was amazing. I can only say the downside is the physical appearance and even then I like it. It's a little cramped and it's relatively hard to navigate when with a group even though the place is small, but I genuinely love this place very much. Overall on a scale of 1-10, I'm giving this a 9.7 due to the small inconvenience of small size it that's what happens when your located in a strip-mall. Thank you for your service and food!!“
“My boyfriend and I have been going to verdes for about 6 months now and they do not disappoint! Their food is delicious, they strive to perfect their recipes and it shows! We just enjoyed their Christmas catering due to our situation not allowing me to cook my usual set up; and oh my was it worth it! The staff are great people as well. Highly recommend this place!“
“Heard NJ had some good Italian delis so was in the search for one nearby this weekend and it was a pretty good find. Very homey vibes as soon as you walk in. Staff was friendly. We were the only ones there upon arrival, less than an hour before closing on a Saturday afternoon but shortly after they had a mini rush and some locals picking up a catering order. We ordered a half and full but the half was a decent size so don't be fooled. Two sandwiches, a lasagna roll up and two bevs was about $31 total, I would say pretty affordable. I would return and maybe create my own. The Italian was delicious, def recommend. I got the Chicken Avocado BLT, tasty but not sure I like the fried avocado. Some fresh avocado, cheese and maybe a pesto would've knocked it out the park for me! They also have some frozen items you can take home. Good start to my search for an Italian deli.“
“Came here on Pi day 3/14 for a large plain pie and a grandma’s pie. The plain pie is 11.00 and the grandmas was a little higher. The style is thin crust and does not disappoint. The woman behind the counter was super friendly and nice to talk to while we waited. The sauce is sweet but not overly sweet and the grandma pie was super tasty. I will be back.“
“My boyfriend and I tried this for the first time today and thought it was absolutely DELICIOUS! Pizza had such good flavor and the dough was great. I’m so angry I didn’t find out about this place sooner! Will definitely be coming back.“
“Their catering food deserves more than 5 stars. Been using them for a yearly party for a few years now. Not once have I even received anything less than spectacular feedback from those attending. They are not afraid to season their food, which is a pleasant experience with catering. Do not hesitate to use Rusillo's for your next event. They will be there when they say and will help you take your event to the next level. You won't be sorry.“
“This is a place we want to even during the pandemic, when there was hardly anyone there. Food is excellent, prefix menu before 6 pm is wonderful. It is small, like someone's living room. which is intimate, but you are delegated to a small table when you made reservations for two.. The tables that are for two are so close you hear every conservation and hardly room for your food. I asked if we could have a table for four when we went in at 5:30. Waiter said we could not have a table for four because there were others coming in with 4 .. After we were eating I saw a couple come in and they had a table for 4 but only two of them...Could it be they called the waiter by name? made me feel that all patrons are not created equal....obviously we were not. Good for 3-4 but not two. I asked if we came in at 4 pm, could we have a table for 4 and out by 5.....no was the answer. I am thinking twice about going again...I am not part of the in crowd obviously,“
“My experience tonight has reclaimed my love for Nola pizza. I’ve never questioned how amazing the pizza was, it was more when they first opened the wait was outrageously long and often was not ready after the two and a half hour wait. It was because of that I haven’t been back until tonight. Expecting the wait would still be long for a Sunday, called around 5:30 and given a pickup time of 6:45, significantly improved! My order was JUST taken out of the oven when I walked in at 6:45 and to no surprise, the pizza was divine. Got the Diavolo with vodka instead of spicy and it was just perfection. I can’t wait to be back, just need to be mindful of when I want to eat and when to order.“
“What is not to like about this place?Warning: if you have a shopping list or have an idea of what you are planning to buy, try to stick with it. Otherwise, you will end up buying much more ?Their meatballs are so good that they don't last more than a day.Their sandwiches are great as well and with one you even have enough for 2 meals.The only item that is not my favorite is their mozzarella cheese, which I find too salty. But if you mix it with mushrooms you can make great quesadillas.“
“I've been wanting to come here for so long, and for my Morris county friends who grew up in the Italian triangle (Belleville Bloomfield nutley) this is the best kept secret. This is the real deal, they even have nastos desserts from Newark. Super happy to order Easter pies from here and they stock my beloved San bernadetto iced tea! Owner and his family are super sweet and friendly.“
“Matt and his team do an amazing job with fresh meals to dine in or take away. Their fresh pasta to take and cook is fantastic, and the sauces are delicious.The assortment of local and Italian goods the best around.They have done an amazing job with my catering orders as well for parties both large and small.Vegetarian options: Great options for accommodating vegetarians, as well as helpful with special asks and requests.“
“There Food is as delicious, authentic, and of good quality. The freshness of ingredients and the harmony of flavors in dishes like bruschetta are particularly praised1. Silvio's Service is Friendly, attentive, and efficient. Delivery is speedy and customer service is fantastic. Ambiance: Known for its wonderful homemade dishes and sides. Boccone South sets a high standard for an outstanding cuisine and food. Bobby“
“Their pizza is terrific, and unusual - square crusts!? My wife had the gluten free which is the best we've tasted, ever. There was a small error in our order which I will put down to the fact that it was the superbowl and the place was hopping. Veggie Pizza was great with the truffle oil touch and the pepperoni was thick cut and flavorful. Will definitely order again.“
“One of the best pizza’s I have had in New Jersey. It’s flavorful, thin, crispy and made fresh to order everytime. The owner takes pride in making sure every pizza that comes out the oven is made to perfection for all of his customers. Great spot for a quick lunch or a nice family dinner!Vegetarian options: Has many vegetarian options and if not, the chef can customize to fit your dietary needs“
“Easily my favorite gourmet deli in union county. It’s dangerous to come here when you’re hungry. The sandwiches are the best in the area, and the prepared foods are excellent as well. The service is unequaled, and to top it all off, the prices are no more expensive than many other places with inferior products. I’ve sworn off all other delis.“
“Restaurant is at the former Fascino location with same chef and waitstaff (but new owner and renovated space). Food is as fantastic as ever! Very attentive service. The pastas are awesome. The pan seared sea scallops with smoked cauliflower is to die for. BYOB.“
“Stopped in to check out the place for a private party. Had a quick fancy drink, that was amazingly delicious! The owner is very friendly and the place is as clean as a whistle! Definitely coming back hereParking: Had to circle around a few times to find parking. Someone left so I was lucky!“
“Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a private event at Pucciarello's, an establishment that truly surpassed all expectations. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the stage for what was to become an unforgettable dining experience. The staff greeted us with warmth and professionalism, ensuring that every aspect of our evening was nothing short of perfect.The food at Pucciarello's was nothing short of amazing. Each dish that was served seemed to tell a story of its own, with flavors that were both bold and harmonious. The ingredients were clearly fresh, showcasing a commitment to quality that could be tasted in every bite. Whether it was the appetizers, main courses, or desserts, each dish was presented beautifully, marrying visual appeal with culinary excellence.“
“Big C's Cheesesteaks are out of this world. The mushrooms, onion, peppers and cheese complemented the steak so well. Excellent bit of char of mush, onion and peppers for extra flavor. We hired Clemente to cater my birthday based upon a great friend's recommendation... and my man did not disappoint!!!!! Catering - ask for the Pasta Genovese - your mind will be blown. His meatballs and gravy are outta hand. My friend's still talk about his food months later. Not only is Clemente great chef but he is a great person! He preps, and presents....and the best part, he cleans your friggin' kitchen when he's done!! Love your food! Keep it up and you will do great things!“
“We came in and the kitchen had just closed. The server ran back and they reopened just for the 4 of us. Also, Crystal and Olivia recommended appetizers and they were delicious. They were very personable and a pleasure to talk to. This spot was a great find for our last minute stop at 9:30pm. Great place to go - we will be back again .“
