“Evelyn was very pleasant and got everything we needed. Would recommend bertcci’s and our lovely server to everyone! 5 stars“

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

“Tonight’s visit was very nice. Our server made our meal enjoyable. Prompt, professional and she enjoyed our cheese jokes. Thank you for a wonderful dinner“

“Excellent food, service, & dessert! Reese was our server on his first day!! He was excellent, very attentive! The pumpkin ravioli was delicious!!“

“Very clean and very friendly. The owner is a really nice guy, he checked up on my son and I and you can tell that he loves what he does very passionate about his food. The cheesesteaks are really good will not disappoint. The sandwich is filled just right so you can eat it and not wear it. The chicken parm sandwich my son tore it up and said it was one of the best ones he has had. French fries are the way they are supposed to be not seasoned or curly just plain great fries. Buffalo wings damn good size not from a baby chicken full grown bird, got the mild sauce and it had a good flavor. Now the pizza! Great crust, thin on the deck and holds really well no saggy slice. True mozzarella not mixed with Provalone you will be able to tell when you taste it, the sauce on the pizza is perfect not sweet or to thick just right. Planning on going back to try more food. Very good menu to choose from and I can imagine it won't disappoint either. This family that runs this place I believe cares about quality to customers, good people, good food what else can you ask for? Next time I'll actually take pics of the food lost track after I bit into the cheesesteak.“

“Even if the name makes it sound like a gelateria, this place is much more than that! The food was very good, creative, and offered healthy alternatives. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. On my next trip to the US, I’ll definitely come back to this restaurant.“

“Been coming here for years. Delaware's hidden Italian secret!“

“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.“

“The gluten free pizza is delicious and safe for those with even the most gluten sensitivity! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“We came here on a random Friday looking for simple Italian food and we were not disappointed! We got a Stromboli and a chicken eggplant salad, both very generous and delicious.
Staff was also on point !

“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.“

“It was really good thanks!“

“I ordered a build your own stromboli with 1 ingredient wrong and was mad at myself for forgetting the ingredient and settled for what I was getting. The manager said no I'll make you a new one I want you to be happy. I couldn't believe it it. When it arrived it was amazing so I highly recommend this seasons 5 stars“

“Enjoyed the chicken tenders which were perfectly prepared! Nice size portion with moist meat inside and a super delicious crispy coating on outside. Excellent choice. The spaghetti and meatballs is also an excellent meal and very large potion. Very tasty sauce and the meatballs are tasty and moist. Two excellent choices!“
