“I dined at the Pike Creek location. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Im confident that if you dine there twice, you're a regular.

While the menu may appear to be limited, they all the homestyle favorites. There are vegetarian options. My favorite appetizer is on the menu, Fried Burssel Sprouts.

The portions are family style. Don't expect to finish what you order.

I have a bias here. They aren't far from my home. That's waht makes this a welcome addition to the restaurant scene in Pike Creek.“

“Order anything with the garlic bread and amp up your gastronomic experience to epic proportions. Lauren has that way of scanning the bar/restaurant for a refill, making sure everything is cool, or the check. It’s not loud so you can converse with friends-and new friends! Community vibe. Oh, and did I mention the garlic bread?“

“Amazing. Every flavor was so pleasing. Presentation was beautiful and the service felt so comfortable and gracious. The experience was delightful and we will definitely return. The celery bisque was the best I have ever tasted. Entrees delicious and the deserts to perfection!“

We can't wait to order again!“

“stoll as good as it was 20 years ago when I was eating it for study fuel!“

“Five of us had lunch at Cafe Verdi today. I only wish we had discovered it sooner! Between us we had four different pasta dishes and 1 salmon burger. Everything was excellent- fresh, nicely presented, and delicious! The family restaurant feel, the lovely music, and the people on staff made for a most enjoyable and memorable afternoon! We will definitely return- thank you, Sylvio!“

“We ordered catering to be delivered to the Bands of America competition and were very pleased with both the service and food! Serving 95 hungry students and over 20 parent volunteers can be challenging, and even more so when done out of state. Nick & Joe's made it super easy for us and we appreciate that!“

“We have loved enjoying the delicious food at Cafe Valentina. We have been coming here for more 15 years. We feel like we are dining at one of the finest restaurants in Italy. We were missing Fortuna and Giuseppe for the past six months but finally tonight we had the pleasure to see them at the restaurant. Everyone should come here and enjoy their delicious food. It is real Italian food and they have good prices.“

“My Husband and I just got the Bianca pizza. Everything else there doesn't taste good(reg pizza, fries) This location was our first date over 27 years ago. We will never stop coming here. As with all food places, prices are way too high.“

“Tony's is a local Italian restaurant in Newark along Chestnut Hill Road (DE 4) in a shopping plaza anchored by the local Shoprite. The dining area is basic, mostly what you'd expect from a local restaurant. However, the decor could use a little bit of an update and then it'd be just right.
The menu features what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant in the orbit of Philadelphia - pizzas, pastas, strombolis, etc. and have a great variety of different pizzas. For my meal, I went with a vegetarian pizza (spinach, tomato and ricotta cheese) and an order of garlic bread. The pizza itself was pretty tasty and the ricotta made a good contrast to the mozzarella on the pie itself and the vegetables were generally nice and fresh. The crust was also pretty decent as it could hold the slice and had just enough crisp for a good thin-crust pizza. The miss for me was the garlic bread. I don't know if it was the preparation for my particular order, but my bread had some minced garlic topping the butter on the bread rather than well-dispersed in the butter. I love garlic but trying to eat those pieces of minced garlic wasn't for me as it was bitter. I would like to see them better incorporate the garlic into the bread as that might help the read out. The garlic aside, the bread was nicely baked and had the butter and garlic been better spread I would have really enjoyed it.
The service was decent as well. I didn't have to wait too long for a refill and the server made sure I was take care of at my table.
Overall, it's a nice neighborhood Italian restaurant for those local to Newark and you'll at least get an enjoyable meal if you visit here.“

“I really enjoyed the grilled chicken salad because it had a lot of veggies and wasn't just lettuce. I also really enjoy getting the penne with meatballs in blush sauce because the dish is so full of flavor.“

“Eight family members celebrated being together during the Christmas holidays. The food was excellent. I had Parma Rosa with shrimp, crab, and lobster. Delicious. Another had gnocchi, another salmon, beef tips, etc. all excellent choices. We also enjoyed the calamari and burrata for apps and a variety of desserts. I feel like it is reasonably priced. Service was spot on.“

“Going to Tony's is always a wonderful experience. The owners and staff are amazingly warm and friendly. And of course, the food is mouth watering delicious; the very best around.“

“I love Anthony’s food especially the chopped salad and the Desserts 🧁“

“We usually just do take out from here, but the selection of slices each day is great to choose from as always something different in the case. The garlic knots are also pretty good.

You better be hungry when ordering the Italian Entrees as the portions are huge. We always have leftovers if we each order our own. We've wisened up and will select an entree to share. The sauce on the entrees is fresh and delicious.

They are great with catering and have used them for several events. They're helpful and responsive to your needs.

The staff has always been kind and courteous to us....even in the busiest of times (place was hoping at 5pm on Superbowl Sunday .... but they were still pleasant despite being run ragged with to-go and take-out orders).“

“It was really good thanks!“

“AWESOME EVERYTHING GUYS!!KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING WORK!“

“being a transplant from nj 25 years i finally found authentic pizza and to my surprise a panzerotti..5 star“

“The morning/afternoon crew is the greatest! They make the best pizza around. But if you order after 6pm not so good! Whoever makes the pizza then is afraid to use cheese!! Can you have the morning guy (probably the owner) teach the late day guy how to make pizza?!“

“I order frequently from Ciao. I have never been disappointed. The food is always good and leaves everyone satisfied. I highly recommend.“

“I give them a five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating. I always knew this little shop was tucked in this shopping plaza but I never ever tried. Well let me just say I was missing out. I’ve now tried several different items and different pizzas and all of them have been delicious. You gotta try the BBQ beef cheesesteak (add extra meat and extra cheese) and BBQ chicken pizza. Wow 👍👍. I can tell they get slammed with takeout and delivery orders. Great staff. They’re my new go to.“

“We order from here entirely too often. It’s fast, hot, reliable, good-tasting food, and the portions are generous. We’ve ordered a bunch of types of sandwiches, the chicken tenders, eggplant parm, cheesesteaks, and it always gets here with integrity - not cold or mushy or lukewarm. The corn nuggets are one of the best items on the menu.
The most impressive thing is that after ordering a million times, not once have I ever received a soggy cannoli, not even a soft shell. They’re always crispy. I’ve seen some people complain about them and honestly, I think they’re good, I always get one, and they’re much better than the alternative, which is no cannoli. Tiramisu is also good and rich, but I always go back to the cannoli.“

“amazing pizza would return to area just for this pizza“
