“Having lived in the area my whole life I can't believe last week was the first time I ever ate here. The restaurant is bigger than it looks from the outside but is very cozy. The wait staff is friendly and the pizza we ordered was the best I've had in a very long time. My wife and I shared a large pie and had plenty to take home. Usually the next day pizza's not so good but honestly I think it was better!!! We will definitely be going back“
“Food , service, vibe, all awesome! We started with the most tender fried calamari I have ever eaten and a side of fried artichokes topped with a lemon ailoi. My husband had a twist on chicken parm, topped with gnocci that were like pillows. I have never had gnocci so light. I had eggplant parm and it was unreal. The sauce was flavorful, the eggplant was thin, not bitter at all. The bread was warm and light, even the olive oil on the table was top notch. I had a glass of house chardonnay with dinner, I don't know who's it was, but it was tasty! Even the music was upbeat and nostalgic. This is my third time there and it's always been perfect. I can't wait to explore more of the menu!“
“Love this place. Fresh meats, cheeses, delicious prepared foods and a small selection of Italian ingredients to stock your cabinets. Great place to grab a quick sandwich or buy your picnic supplies. They are always so nice here and have that "locals" vibe.“
“I moved to Monroe over a year ago and I have sampled the pizza in the area with my family over that time, but recently a co-worker of mine told me I have to try Sal's. So with it being lent ... and a Friday ... I thought what better time to try it. I felt a little like Dave Portnoy without the camera and the millions of followers of course. I'm originally from NJ with family roots in NY. I know all the hub bub about pepe's and sally's - they are solid. This is the best local pie I have had. Hands down. Best pizza I have ingested since I got to Monroe. We will be going to Sal's only now for pizza. I didn't comment on atmosphere, because we ordered to go.“
“Hubby and I ordered from Bella Rosa tonight. Hubby had the cheese pizza and I enjoyed the Lula Grelhadas. My meal was succulent. The calamari was tender and the broccoli rabe had just the right amount of garlic. The piece de resistance was hubby's pizza crust. Each time he was finishing a slice of pizza I was asking for the crust. It looked beautiful and tasted absolutely yummy. Crunchy on the outside soft inside. Perfectly done. Yummy.“
“The menu features a wide variety of pasta dishes, pizzas, seafood, and meat dishes. Some of the most popular items include the eggplant parmesan, the lasagna, and the grilled salmon. The restaurant also has a full bar with a wide selection of wines, beers, and cocktails.Vazzy's Osteria is a popular spot for both families and couples. It is also a popular choice for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, and reservations are recommended.“
“Our family tried Osteria Romana for the 1st time in Monroe on Easter Sunday. A challenging time to be first trying a restaurant. There were little things here and there that kept this from being a 5 star experience. When we arrived the parking lot was filled. There was a valet but we were skeptical because I did not notice the guy had a sign, pin, or jacket stating he was the valet. Luckily it was legit. When I checked in early they were of course not ready for us. I asked would they come out and call us once our table was ready? I was told No and to keep checking back. I kind of felt like since there was no where to wait inside. They should have at least come got us when our table was ready. Our reservation was for 7 people @ 4pm and our table was ready at 4:15pm. It's fine it was Easter and they were busy. At one point our waiter left, and it took a bit before a new waiter came over. All the staff we encountered were very friendly. For appetizers my husband had the octopus salad, I got the mini meatballs. My husband was skeptical about the grilled lettuce but actually enjoyed it. The mini meatballs came in a cute bowl with a nice added touch of a wooden spoon and was really good. Our main courses were seafood risotto for him and prosecco chicken for me. He ate every last bite of his seafood. I tasted his risotto which was cooked nicely. The sauce for my chicken made my chicken cutlets not crispy but it had nice flavor. Desserts: Chocolate Lava cake with ice cream and pistachio cheesecake. Both heavenly and sweet (but not too sweet). Wish we were offered coffee or cappuccino. But I guess its good they didnt because we were all ready to get up and moving. Hope to try their brunch with my husband or smaller group soon.“
“The food was very good and our waitress was very helpful and friendly! I would give Jennies five stars if it wasn't for the very loud acoustics. Once a few large parties left, it quieted down making the remainder of our meal much more enjoyable!“
“Our third time back, this time with friends. As usual, we were not disappointed. Being an Italian girl I know good Italian food and Marcello’s hits the mark every time. The chicken piccata was delicious and the pasta with eggplant was cooked perfectly. And of course none of us could finish the generous portions. I highly recommend the coffee and donuts for dessert, absolute delight.Parking: Easy parking close to restaurant“
“Honestly one of the best meals I've ever had. The cowboy steak was amazing!!! 4 of us sampled each other's dishes and we were all impressed with them all. The vodka sauce was one of the best I've ever tasted. And then there are the desserts!!! Everything was perfect from start to finish. Cannot recommend enough.“
