39 Best Italian Restaurants near Skillman

“The pizza was amazing, along with the staff. They were all so friendly when I came in for a pickup. They all greeted me, and I felt bad for leaving them after that, with now wanting to stay, eat, and hang out some. The food was killer like I said, and I'll come back for that, but it's great when you meet people that make you want to stay.“

“Service was very good. Staff very friendly. All Food courses were delicious and came out hot, fresh and was delicious! I had the Bianca ? chicken with cavatappi special. Amazingly tender chicken and the sauce was exquisite! Atmosphere was OK but bathroom was neglected and needs a lot of work cosmetically.“

“This joint was jumping on a Friday at 6:30. We would have been turned away without a reservation. The pork chop scarpariello, short ribs and filet were excellent entrees. This was a birthday celebration, which is why we went a bit high-end. This venue at this time of night might be a bit noisy for some , but no complaints here - just an excellent meal!“

“We had an amazing meal at AMA tonight. Sat at the bar and was able to chat with the owner. He told us about growing up in Italy and how he worked to renovate the restaurant himself.Everything we had was delicious. Arancini, Parma pizza, Cacio e Pepe, and homemade lemon gelato.The outside seating is gorgeous in the warm weather. Highly recommended!“

“Best pizzeria in Flemington, blows Virami's out of the water. Crust was thin and had a nice crunch to it, sauce was perfectly distributed throughout the pizza (not heavy, not light) and the cheese was layered generously over the pie. Would 100% recommend.Kid-friendliness: Very laid back old fashioned atmosphere. Plenty of chairs with tables and booths with tables.“

“The staff were almost too attentive! Such personal service, with plenty of choices. There's a grocery deli area and a sit down part. Portions are great, food tastes great. The space is simultaneously cozy and modern. Might be considered a little tight for some.Wheelchair accessibility: Might be tight but all furniture moves easily. Patio space as well.“

“A new restaurant in our bedroom community of Hillsborough, NJ, Mama Fanti is a place you don't want to miss. We went around 6:00 on a Friday night and were seated even though we didn't have a reservation. We found the food VERY flavorful! I really liked the sauces which must have some "secret" ingredients because they tasted better than what I have grown used to. We had a stuffed zucchini appetizer, three mains, a salad and a dessert for around $150.The salad was plenty for sharing. The eggplant Parmesan was interesting. I'm used to very thinly sliced eggplant with lots of breading, but Mama Fanti's was thickly sliced, nicely breaded with a delicious sauce. The veal cutlet topped with arugula was great, but the chicken dish (see below) was out of this world. I'll get that next time I go. We finished with an incredibly light tiramisu (one serving for all three of us).“

“We ordered catering to pick up for a collegiate softball team and family members. Jessica and her catering staff were extremely helpful and very responsive. My questions were answered generally within an hour. All of our needs were accommodated as well. When we served the meal, all 48 guests were extremely satisfied with the quality of each item and all left very happy (and full). I would absolutely use Piccolo Trattoria again for my catering needs and would recommend it to others.“

“My first time coming to this place and came with my parents who live in the area. The place was very cute and the food was amazing and didn't break the bank. The pizza was great and great pasta and sandwiches and I got the tortellini and spinach soup and was very good. I will definitely be back !!!“

“A 30 year, small family owned business, that's a mixture of pizzeria and Italian restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Tonight, I stopped in for the first time and was cheerfully welcomed and felt right at home. The menu had a wonderful assortment of great looking entries. But I decided to try one of the specials, the very flavorful and savory Chicken with portobello mushrooms sun-dried, tomatoes, spinach, and mozzarella in a white wine sauce over penne ($23.95). Service was great with friendly and attentive staff. If you're in the Hillsboro, Princeton area, this is a must try. Dine in or takeout, I think you'll be impressed too. Follow me on yelp or on Insta @noodlesoupr. As I travel the world and search up the perfect bowl of noodle soup.“

“Really like this place! Admittedly, Flemington isn’t really a destination for foodie’s, but there some real gems in this town, and Dolce def holds its own.The food is very good and I LOVE that it’s BYOB. The menu might seem a bit limited (for instance, they use the same ingredients - like veal cutlets - in a number of dishes, but prepare them in different presentations). I can understand that given rising food costs, thankfully the specials add diversity. Had some world-class grilled octopus over white beans and spinach, the flounder franchise was legit too - will def be back“

“If you've ever seen the movie BIG NIGHT, this place has the same vibe. Part of me wants to not even review it because I don't want it to get crowded and ruined, but the food is so incredible and the people that work there are the nicest people on earth, so I have to do it. We went there about a month ago and then brought back four friends last night. (Our waitress was, I think, one of the owners--she was so happy and kind.) They all told me that they feared I was overselling it, but once they got there and ate, they were believers! If I could afford it, I'd eat here once a week. The food is--literally--inspiring. It makes me want to learn how to cook. How can people make stuff this good?“

“I been coming here since the 1970’s for awhile it was the only place in Manville to get pizza. Now there are three other places but their homemade sauce stands out amongst the other. The food is good the owner Anthony welcomes everyone like they are his family. Come try his pizza and his other Italian cuisine, you won’t be disappointed.Vegetarian options: I sometimes order the mushroom or peppers on my pizza.Dietary restrictions: They use quality ingredientsParking: They are by an open empty mall there is parkingKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“This place has really stepped up their seating arrangements and the patio was warm, beautifully decorated and enclosed. My only issue was that it was hard to hear one another inside the enclosure with a lot of people talking. It might be helpful to have some sort of sound-reduction put in place in the future.“

“We were just there for my husband's birthday. My daughter and her girlfriend made the reservation. We shared appetizers and had a good meal. Dessert was so good. I had a ricotta cake with a mixed fruit topping ❤️ We all took part of our dinner home.Parking: We did not have any problems parking, although it was on a Sunday.“

“When my stepbrother and his wife arrived for a three day visit they mentioned that it would be her birthday while they stayed with my wife and I. As residents of Lawrenceville, having a birthday dinner at Vidalia was an automatic choice. Our Restaurant Week special prix fixe menu was delightful, delicious and beautifully presented. The service was excellent. The tall candle on the Tiramisu was delightful. My only quibble is that the main dinning room can be quite noisy, making conversation difficult.“

“Caffe Piazza was a big, welcoming surprise in its unassuming location. Not since I've been in Italy have I had a similar dining experience. Welcoming atmosphere, the wait staff was exceptional - knowledgeable, attentive, courteous, helpful and friendly.The food - I dipped my bread in the olive oil and upon tasting it, immediately noticed that this was really good olive oil, and it went uphill from there, everything we ordered and tasted, looked, and was, delicious.The house salad came out and my wife and I both agreed, this may be the tastiest salad dressing we'd ever had! I don't know what was in it!My grandmother was from Calabria, and she could cook, and I grew up eating her sauce, so I never get the Sunday dinner (Stofato Special) at restaurants as I'm usually pretty sure I'll be disappointed. I gave it a shot and it was excellent. The meatball, sausage and braciole were tender and tasty and the sauce was scrumptious over the fresh made pasta. I was in heaven. I cleaned every drop of the bowl with my bread.The other 3 diners ordered a fresh pasta with a tomato cream sauce, a seafood dish and a chicken with vegetables dish and every single dish looked so good, I am thinking I'm going to have to go back at least 3 more times to try them ?Had the pistachio gelato for dessert. Just full of pistachio flavor, and that creamy gelato texture that makes your tongue dance, savored every bite.I ordered a cappuccino, which upon tasting it, also lifted an eyebrow as it was exceptionally good.After dinner, the owner, who is from Italy took pride in telling us about their ingredients, their philosophy and their roots in Calabria (no surprise!). He also shared that their family has been serving up delicious meals here for 29 years, that's just amazing. Just like back home, he offered some Limoncello to end the meal which sealed the deal.If you've been to Italy, or if you haven't, check this place out and you'll feel like you were.“

“We regularly get food and have done catering a few times now, everything is always fantastic. Joe, his family and team are great. You really get what you pay for and quality is number one here. Good food makes a good party and they nailed it. Thanks!“

“The very best in pizza, subs, the only place i trust to make me a good meatball without that nasty under taste you get from most restaurant meatballs.Family owned and operated, been coming here since I was a kid. I moved away some 10 years ago and somehow the brothers remember me when I stop by which is whenever i'm in town. I love th“

“I've been going to this restaurant for over 5 or 6 years. The atmosphere has definitely gotten better, but thier service in the restaurant isn't great. I visited last week 1/29/24. There were four of us with no one but another couple in the restaurant. We saw the waitress 2 times. Too busy talking and hanging with management . She looked like his daughter and she was not minding the table. Bar service is nuch better with John.“

“If you want Italian pastries or custom cakes this is the place to go! Ordered a cannoli cake for my mom’s birthday and a tray of her favorite pastries - it was so delicious! Rose and her staff are always super friendly. Highly recommend.“

“Every town should have a Pizza 'n Pasta! You walk in and everyone welcomes you; service is great, pizza made by Brian is superb. Menu has daily specials. Shout out to Mark the manager and Eric who help make it a favorite place to bring family and friends.“

“In New Jersey it's easy to be a pizza snob with authentic goodness being spun on virtually every street corner. Yet, the chain pizza joints who have captive audiences in flyover country continue to inexplicably thrive and prosper within the east coast pizzaria mecca. Inconceivable. That said, Marco's ain't bad. No, it's not quite up to the bespoke goodness of a foldable Neapolitan but it had taste and was downright lavish with the pepperoni. Not only was I surprised but more than a little impressed. So, if your goal is to procure a Eucharist wafer slathered in pizza chain indifference there's always Dominos. However, if you want a real pizza and the Giuseppe Brothers aren't available you could do far worse than Marco's. A surprising four stars in Jersey. Five stars in Iowa.“

“Best Italian restaurant I’ve ever had and immaculate service! I called ahead as they were getting close to closing time and they said come on in with no hesitation. They were beyond accommodating and the service was insanely fast. The bread and homemade tomato sauce that’s brought out is delicious and set the tone. I ordered the pasta alla vodka and my son ordered the gnocchi with Alfredo. Both came with a choice of soup or salad and the soup of the day was potato and bacon… to die for! The puffy garlic bread was also great! Both main dishes were fantastic and massive portion sizes. For dessert, the tiramisu and the lava cake were (again) amazing. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. We were visiting from New Hampshire and I wish I could transplant this place to my town! Thank you for an amazing experience“

“We have gotten take out and dined in many times. We are always amazed at how good their Latin food is and their Italian food. The menu is so big and diverse and we have never ordered anything we didn’t like. The prices are so reasonable and the portions are good. The staff there is also so kind and pleasant. Love this place!“

“trattoria uno....my favorite place, every time I go... I order seafood combo omg...I can't wait, I already want to come back from Miami to enjoy my pasta with seafood again...the cooks know exactly what They do...the owner Angelo is super friendly, the best thing of all is that he is Chivas de Guadalajara “

“Always great, fresh dinner (or lunch) options for the family or guests when you don't have time for a lot of dinner prep! Love their sauces, soups and my kids won't eat any other brand of raviolis having grown up eating Lucy's for 10+ years. Salads are fresh, sandwiches - and they do a great job catering large and small orders as well.“

“When you walk in the vibe is relaxed, warm, and inviting, as if you were having dinner in a friend's kitchen. There aren't an overwhelming amount of choices but there is something for everyone. While you wait for your meal, enjoy the delicious flatbread. I am on a diet but everyone else loved it. What is delivered to your table is absolutely delicious. My daughter, who has eaten there before, raved about their house dressing. How excited can one get over salad dressing? It was so good. She ordered the Parpadelle Meat Sauce. She loved it. It was a lot so she took half of it home. Her boyfriend had the Apricot & Walnut Salad. It looked delicious and he really enjoyed it. As I mentioned, I am on a diet so I was happy to see the variety of salads. I ordered the Pasta Fazool, yum, and the Beet & Goat Cheese Salad; I added Shrimp. It was delicious, especially the shrimp, well seasoned, and they weren't cheap on the beets or goat cheese which made me happy. It was topped with that salad dressing and, my daughter was right, it was delicious. My husband, whom we affectionately refer to as "Bob the Food Snob", had the Frutta del Mar. He always sends his food back but loved this dish. The pasta is fresh, the sauce perfectly seasoned. We ended the evening with zeppole shared for the table. It comes with Nutella. My daughter's boyfriend joked that zeppole filled with cannoli cream would be outrageously delicious. I ordered that and the Nutella. I expected the cannoli cream to be typical. It was really light. Yes, I had a taste because they were all talking about it and dessert is my thing. Brad was right, zeppole and cannoli cream is delicious. Put that on the menu! We are going back!“

“Needed a spot to meet a business colleague. The food and service were top notch. Presentation was great. Nice having a liquor store next door to pick-up a bottle of wine. Only issue was that it was very loud. They really should invest in some noise dampening items.“

“Three families went here for dinner celebrate my son’s birthday. The food was so good, but honestly it was the staff that overshined everything! They were so friendly, so accommodating, and so kind to all of our kids. The owner was so accommodating and so warm to all of us. I can’t speak highly enough about how great the staff was. We don’t live nearby but when we are here we will for sure go there for dinner.“

“I was born in Genoa and I miss my land every day. As well I miss the real Italian food. Thanks God Francesca and Le Kyosk exist!! Truly amazing Focaccia and all the sandwiches I’ve tried so far (I guess 5 different ones). The quality along with the kindness made me really feel at home.Thanks Le Kyosk Team!Vegetarian options: You can personalize your sandwich the way you want“

“Love, love, love the food here. I'm a pizza snob and I haven't found a better pizza in the area. It doesn't stop there, though. The sandwiches are fabulous, namely the Buffalo chicken wrap and the appetizers have been great as well.“

“We had a beautiful and delicious night here! Our waitress Erin was so sweet and attentive. We really enjoyed every aspect of our meal, from the drinks to the appetizers to the meal and dessert. Nice atmosphere, great service and all around a nice night.“

“You know the deal… Daddy David Portnoy told the public this place was AN 8.9. So you know me and Rj had to spin the block to Princeton. We got a large pie and devoured it like frickin animals. Unfortunately because of the crispness of the slice, Rj’s sperm count became a little too low and he died. Rip Rj. 5 Stars!“

“3/27/24 - my 1st visit to this fabulous gem Italian Restaurant: Antimo’s. So worth the short trip from Flemington on a Wednesday evening! Max the server — sweet and charismatic, kudos to Antimo the chef. The eggplant parm was a huge hit with very large portion (took over half home) and the margharita pizza was divine. (two meals worth from the “individual” size). Staff surprised friend with a candle in a cannoli for a special birthday. Cannoli was the best birthday cake! Dined in but also ordered steak stromboli and meatballs to bring home. They both smell Devine in car on way home! Highly recommend and I will be back! Definitely recommend checking this place out for a fabulous meal — dine in or take-out (cute, quaint dinning room has a humorous surprise parked in the corner!)“

“I love the food at Capuano's. I'm always satisfied with my meal when I'm there. On my most recent visit, I had the Chicken Capuano with a side of Broccoli Rabe. The sauce with the chicken was very flavorful and the chicken was tender. The broccoli rabe side was wonderful. It was crisp-tender, filled with garlic and I actually loved that it was cut into smaller pieces so I didn't have to struggle trying to cut it myself. It can be a little unruly. I also enjoyed their cannoli and a decaf cappuccino with dessert. The interior is no frills but it's clean and the wait staff is competent. Our food came out quickly too.“

“Not a bad pizza but nothing to write home about. 10 times better than Chimney Rock across the street. I moved to Flemington in 1984 and there was only one place to get a good pizza pie and now there's at least a half dozen places for great pies (though there are more than that in number of pizzerias). Sinatra ranks up there with one of my favorites. The cheese on our pie was a little off in colors which made it obvious that it was from two different lots, perhaps different manufacturers. Part of it was super yellow and the other was super white. Odd. I will continue to eat here but my all time favorite is still Taste of Naples mainly for their quality of cheese.“

“They have nice ambience inside and outside. It was perfect dinner place to celebrate my birthday. The place is in the middle of the Princeton downtown area and has a nice chill vibes. Staff is really good and friendly. Loved their food and drinks.“

“We were a party of 11 for the Easter brunch at 10 a.m. (in 2024). We had a wonderful time. From the first greeting by the host/hostess, to the servers, and the buffet workers, to the good bye ~ everyone we dealt with was pleasant and professional.The food selection was varied, delicious, plentiful, and temperature appropriate. Matt, our server, kept on top of monitoring our drinks; mimosas, coffee, soda etc., empty plates were taken away and not thank you for making our Easter brunch a wonderful family gathering left on our table for very long.We could not have been more pleased to come to Amalfi's, our first visit, but definitely not our last.The ONLY negative was it was a bit chilly in the room.I'm sure for the next seating it was a little warmer.Highly recommend Amalfi's. We thank them all fees for making our family gathering a wonderful memory.“
