“I had been wanting to try Cafe Gelato after hearing so many positive things, so we decided to go during Restaurant Week. I chose the Restaurant Week menu, while my husband ordered from the dinner specials. He was offered a soup or salad with his entrée, which we later realized came at an additional cost—something that wasn’t clearly explained upfront. He still enjoyed his meal overall.

The complimentary bread was delicious, but I found my meal to be somewhat underwhelming. The lobster chowder was quite bland, and I was expecting it to include noticeable pieces of lobster. The bacon sprinkled on top added some much-needed flavor.

The potato ravioli was a standout and very enjoyable. My main entrée—ricotta and lobster wrapped in homemade pasta—was decent, though again, the bacon was the highlight of the dish.

The menu gave the impression that dessert was included in the fixed price, and even our waitress acknowledged that the wording was misleading.

That said, the service was attentive, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. I’m glad I finally tried it, but it didn’t quite live up to my expectations.“

“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.“

“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 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).“

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

“It was really good thanks!“

“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.“

“Love this place go all the time get all the spaghetti dishes the staff great friendly people love it“

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

“K es muy muy bueno“

“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“

“I ordered a cheese calzone for delivery…It got to my house so fast that it made me nervous but it wound up being THE best calzone I’ve ever had in my life. As an Italian that grew up in NY working in pizza shops….you can’t get a better compliment than this. The folks running this restaurant are FANTASTIC people that care about serving delicious food and it shows.“

“Second time ordering from here, food is fresh pizza is very good, and buffalo wings were good ,excellent service great customer service.“

“My fiancé and I had an amazing dinner at Seasons Pizza at the Pulaski Highwa, Bear location! The pizza was out of this world—perfectly cooked with a crispy crust, fresh toppings, and a fantastic sauce. On top of that, the service was outstanding. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. It's a great spot for a casual and delicious meal. Highly recommend!“
