“Just had the best meal and wine! First time at this restaurant since we only moved to the area a year ago but we will be back - many times! Pappardelle Al Cinghiale was incredible as well as the Cavoletti Bruxelles! Lastly, the Nutella Mousse ❤️ - so delicious!Giovanni is an absolute GEM!Give this place a go and support local!“

“We dined here last night to celebrate my mother's birthday and everything was perfect. Our server Elliott was wonderful and the food was delicious. We ordered a number of appetizers to share and while everything was wonderful, our favorites were the artichokes and the mussels. For our dinners, we ordered the pork chops and the short ribs. Both were cooked perfectly and very tasty! Oh, and the tiramisu cake to finish off the dinner was one of the best I've ever had. If you're thinking of dining here, stop thinking and go! Not only is the food amazing but the owners are sweet as pie.“

“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.“

“I visited Marinelli's for dinner with a friend this weekend and it was OH-SO-GOOD! I had the delectable Chicken Kristine and my friend ordered the Eggplant Tower and we shared. What an absolutely delicious dinner! The lemon blueberry cake we shared for dessert also did not disappoint. The next time I'm in the Flemington area I will definitely make a stop at Marinelli's. : )“

“I'm thrilled to share our wonderful experience at Campania Pizza & Deli! Their calamari, veal, and pizza are clearly top-notch. It's always great to find a place that consistently delivers excellent Italian cuisine. Thanks for your hard work!!!“

“My kids have grown up on Virami’s. When they were little, Virami’s was the friendliest place to take them and the food was always amazing. Jersey pizza ? done right! And as they got older they still went to Virami’s on their own because it’s a community staple AND it’s that good. Virami’s is my go to when the family needs dinner & I can’t cook or need a break from making dinner ? I’ts always a hit in our house big time. Garlic knots, salad pizza and of course the classics. Something for everyone from the best pizza spot in the area. Hands. Down.We are so lucky to have Virami’s in our town & it is always delicious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We drive down to get their honey mustard chicken pizza all the way from Philly. Their pizzas are delicious and GIGANTIC. Especially their specialty pizzas. We made that mistake and got an entire pizza on Christmas Eve and could not finish it…had left over for days! They are insanely large and loaded with all kinds of delicious ingredients! Their prices are also pretty standard but definitely much cheaper than city prices. Customer for life!!!“

“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“

“Amazing food, amazing people. We came here and had such an amazing time with the owners (Gerson and Ana) who made us feel so loved, welcome, and right at home. I had the Lobster Ravioli special and it was delicious. Bread was warm, we were attended to frequently and honestly I felt like royalty. I never leave reviews, but this business and family deserve every bit of business.“

“What a lovely dinner! The handwritten menu is a fun exercise in focus, took us maybe 10 minutes to read. Ambiance is very peaceful. Food was delicious. I had the shrimp linguine fra diavolo. Perfectly done. It was fun being able to see into the kitchen as well.“

“One of my favorite places to eat, the pork chop is life changing. Like that dish could bring world peace. The owners and staff make the experience feel like you’re eating at a friend’s house, a friend who cooks the best pork chop dish in the world.“

“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!“

“We picked up 3 takeout meals to eat while watching the Eagles game. We were hungry and they hit the spot. What we ate: spaghetti and meatballs, veal parmigiana, and eggplant parmigiana. All came with salads, salad dressing, and rolls. Each of these meals were large portions. If you want to share or have a second serving, that would not be a problem. Plenty of food to eat. We ordered and were given a time and all was ready on time. They were busy but were well staffed and friendly. We have ordered meals here over the years and have not been disappointed. They have fresh pizza and an array of sandwiches and Italian dishes. If you want dessert, there is a large selection in their bakery. Take credit cards. Plenty of parking. Very good Italian food. Highly recommend!“

“My first time here. this place was fantastic. The portions and the quality is absolutely amazing!! Calamari shrimp Caesar salad appetizer and the garlic salad was delicious. The Gorgonzola pizza was fantastic. Great job!! Very nice people there and fantastic “

“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.“

“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 were there for dinner on Valentine’s Day. The atmosphere was great, loved that we could bring our own wine, and had great service. The filet mignon, Bob’s seafood, bread and dessert were all phenomenal. The only thing we wouldn’t recommend is the lobster bisque. It didn’t quite the hit the mark and had no pieces of actual lobster in it. Everything overall was wonderful though!“

“What a wonderful, cozy Italian influenced tavern in Lambertville! We were seated at a high top near the front window which was lovely. There are plenty of things to order on the menu but we wanted pasta! We ordered basic pastas - that's what we were in the mood for - Mariana Spaghetti & Pesto Fettuccine! They were delicious but a HUGE serving. We could have easily shared one entree between the two of us! So either share, bring some friends, or be prepared for leftovers! Our server was lovely and balanced the perfect amount of attendance and privacy! :) Totally would come back here again!“

“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.“

“Stopped here for hot chocolate and ended up staying for dinner. We got the antipasto, lobster ravioli, eggplant parm, and chicken parm. Everything was really good besides the antipasto which I wouldn't get again. The atmosphere was great!! Service was quick and friendly, it has also had the same family ownership for 40 years! Would recommend giving it a try and want to come back for their pizza!“

“Got some pizza and mozzarella sticks to go. Special ordered a chicken Parm pizza with vodka sauce. Both pizzas were great! Also a nice place, it looks like, to sit down and eat. Liquor store right next door so that's good. I will order pizza from here again!“

“We had a lovely meal. Artichoke Salad Special was great and so was Blue Cheese Salad dressing. Both vegetarian pasta entrees were well prepared and tasty. We ordered Pistachio Cake to share....should have ordered two! Shout out to Chastity!Vegetarian options: Someone in my party is vegetarian. She had 6-7 entree choices...unheard of! Soup special was also vegetarian as well as the usual suspects- salads.“

“British pub themed space, but most dishes are Italian. We went on a Friday night and it was quite busy and a bit noisy. Some Brit dishes: fish & chips, which I had and a shepherd pie. The fish was good; the chips could have been crisper. Service was friendly but a bit overtaxed by the crowd. Go there for lunch: far less crowded so you'll enjoy it more.“

“My family and I come to this pizza place every week! Lots of diet options are available such as gluten free dough, pizzas, wraps, twists, and more!Great atmosphere with the best staff!! Always a pleasure seeing everyone here!They even made us fried pickles upon request and they were delicious!! Thank you for trying something new with us!!I would say this place is 10-20$ per person and their food is great!Thank you a million Dominik’s!!! Best place around!!“

“I had the opportunity to visit Al Fresco's on a couple of occasions and found the food delicious. The Chicken Franchise was tender, flavorful, with the perfect amount of lemon. Cavatelli and Broccoli was amazing and could tell the cavatelli had the chance to finish cooking in the sauce. I'll be back and would recommend Al Fresco's to family and friends. BTW They have space for events.“

“The food is excellent! Jim Flyn makes the best drinks I've had since I moved into the area. Bonnie is a very attentive serer and the and the atmosphere resembles the town of Brunello. Roof and Marcy kept us entertained with the best song selections. Sonia has created a very special place to dine on a Friday night.“

“Got a pizza, panini and calamari to goThey were all great! Very good pepperoni on a solid pie. Depending on your preference, I may ask them to cook the pizza a little longer next time. The calamari was very good quality which was surprising for a pizzeria - and so was the sauce.“

“Chimney Rock Inn is a great place to grab dinner with the whole family. As tradition states, Friday is pizza night at my house, so we decided to give Chimney Rock a try. I am gluten-free, so my pizza options are limited, so I was excited to try Chimney Rock's gluten-free pizza. They did not disappoint! They were able to make their Maui pizza gluten-free for me, and now its my new favorite! Keep up the great work, and thanks for providing GF options!Dietary restrictions: Fantastic place if you have a gluten or wheat allergy. They have many options and their gluten-free pizza is fantastic!Parking: We went there around 5:30pm on a Friday and the parking lot was ~75% fullKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. We went there around 5:30pm on a Friday, no wait time, and every table had kids.“

“Yesterday my sister and I had lunch at Giuseppe's restaurant. All what we were ordered at Giuseppe's restaurant is tasty, the wings were not tough, the chicken breast in the flatbread was very tender. The soda mashine was clean and the soda had no foreign aftertaste ????????. I rarely encounter it. In Giuseppe's restaurant also sells delicious cookies.“

“We've been trying out the local places for quick lunches mid-shopping on the weekends, and this has been far and away the best of the bunch so far.Easy access, good parking, large cool dining room, friendly service and good food as well.We got several slices to try out on this trip. The selection was not as large as some of the other spots we've been to, but the quality more than made up for that.Next trip we'll look at having a pizza made for us, as we saw some delicious pizzas coming out at other tables.It was only when we got up to leave that we saw the back patio... Well also be trying that out next time as well!“

“Excellent food, good service and it's a clean restaurant! I've eaten here for many years with my family and we've always had great meals! Sometimes they are a bit under staffed but that's typical of the times nowadays especially when it's busy. I can't imagine how hard it must be to run a restaurant but they sure do a great job! The cooks are great, servers are nice and the owner Tony is too!! Thanks“
