The sandwiches are always fresh, delicious, and they live up to every memory of growing up in NJ. Trust me when I tell you that these sandwiches are the stuff dreams are made of. Absolute Core Memory stuff. Make sure to grab a few arancini, with some sauce to dip with and complete the flavor profile. And of course a cannoli or two.“

Mozzarella Frittata app was so light with a good pull of cheese. For dinner I had the Nonna's spaghetti with added meatballs (yum) & my husband got the chicken parm which he loved (huge serving!) & a side of broccolini that was excellent. We had enough to bring home for dinner tonight! For dessert we got the Zeppole's - a must have!! Definitely coming back. You can also come here & get a thin crust pizza which I plan to do next time as they looked so good! Great place for sure!“

“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.“

“Visiting from Chicago and I have to say this was the best Italian sandwich I’ve ever had. I got the chicken milanese which was perfect because I love fried cutlets. It had the perfect balance of flavors with the roasted red peppers and other toppings. It was a big enough portion to satiate my appetite and gave me energy for the rest of the day. I’m sure any of the other sandwiches are also the best in their category. And you can see behind the retail front where they make everything in house. I’ll be back next time I’m in the area.“

“Really cute café. The service was excellent and the food was really delicious. They have a really good variety and it is extremely clean and inviting with very convenient parking .

“We had our daughters 18th Birthday Bash here at the Appian Way on: February 5th, 2022. We dealt with Bob throughout the whole process. And he was just great! Alot is included in the price you receive. And many other venues don't compare when it comes to price. Helping to save you some money along the way. The rooms are beautiful and my guest were amazed. The workers were accommodating and helped get our room together way before time. This helped us tremendously with getting most of the setup being done the night before. The lighting is awesome. The food was absolutely delicious. My guests are still raving about the food. It really was better than I expected. I will definitely be back to celebrate more gatherings. Thank you Bob and your staff for your get service.“

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“

“Can't speak highly enough about the level of service and the professionalism of the staff. The food of course was so amazing, my party and I got the tuna tartare, the prawn salad, the ragu, the scallops, and other entrees and it was all amazing. It was a tiny bit loud but we were right under the speakers. But everything else was so good I didn't even mind. They even brought out a cake for my birthday. I'm 1000% going back. The manager even mentioned a lady's night on Thursday so I'll have to check that out :) 10/10“

I will say that tonight s dinner was exceptional. The service and the food was second to none. Great value, huge portions and fresh seafood ,cooked to perfection!. Our server Alexa was a pro who loves what she does. Hard to come by these days. Before we left we booked Mother s day, party if 12. Try this restaurant, you will love it. I wish them success.“

“I came upon this place through a friend's recommendation, and he was spot on! A good indicator of how delicious the food will be is the taste emanating from the to go bags. It was tough to sit in the car with that phenomenal aroma. Although we didn't try the pizza, the entrées we opted with were delicious. We ordered the rigatoni with meat sauce, and that was pretty good. The chicken cheesesteak with the works (onions, peppers, and mushrooms) were fully loaded. The vegetables were at the bottom and the chicken was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of cheese. I loved the well toasted bun that was very crispy. I would definitely try this place again.“

“I ordered the chicken parm dinner and it was fantastic. This is one of the best chicken parm’s I think I’ve ever had. Thin chicken cutlets that are pan fried and crispy with the perfect amount of cheese melted on top. The sauce was great and the garlic bread was like nothing I’ve ever had before but it was very good. The best part was they delivered it to an address I’m parked at for the night with my tractor trailer.“

“This place is new. If you live in the area you should make your way to Arca for dinner. It was super busy however, they were able to handle the crowd. We were seated in just a few minutes, Our waiter came with the drinks right away. The selection of wine is impressive. The food was good service was good atmosphere was very good. Definitely worth the dining experience.“

“I stopped into Danny's Pizza early in the day, shortly after they opened. I saw a sign outside that said they were voted #1 best pizza which I'm usually skeptical about. After having a slice though, I was pleasantly surprised. The pizza had a thin, crispy base with an incredibly flavorful sauce. The sauce to cheese ratio was spot on and the cheese was perfectly fresh and melted to perfection. Even the crust was bready and delicious. I'm definitely a fan.“

“Perfect as always when I call up and say I'm going to pick something up they know exactly who I am and usually what I order they're always so friendly when I walk in and the food is great every time if you want good pizza in Roseland and surrounding area this is the place to “

“The family and I were looking for a place to hold my grandfather's 100 birthday party. We searched around and finally found Bella Italia. Honestly, this is the best place ever. The management team (Sal) was amazing. He responded to our every need and provided much needed support during the process. The day before the event, we were surprised by being provided with the largest room which assisted tremendously with the amount of guests expected. The placed was simply beautiful. The staff were polite, responsive and accommodating. Let's not forget the price. Super affordable with amazing food. I cannot thank the crew enough for their assistance. I will definitely return to Bella Italia for our next party. Thank you again for everything.“

“I came here to get takeout with my friend who is gluten free and lactose intolerant. We ordered the gluten free 4 cheese vegan pizza and added pepperoni on top. The host was very friendly and gave us extra utensils . The place is very laid back and cute there are some tables to eat outside as well . The pizza is delicious and I really couldn't believe it is vegan . It is very fresh and filling ! We are definitely coming back“

“We had my son’s 3rd birthday party and everything turned out great!!! The staff was so friendly and helpful!!! The food was excellent as always!!!“

“Food was delicious but the service was really what I came to leave a review about... we were seated at a small table for two by the front door for our anniversary dinner. We begrudgingly accepted it but once our appetizers were served, the owner/head waiter asked us if we would like to move to a larger table that just opened up by the window - that really impressed me. Then, when dessert came, we were given a complimentary dessert with “happy anniversary” written on it. Not many places still do that so I must say Basilico is unique and we will def be back!“
