“We loved dinner. No complaints. Tried brunch and brought friends from church. Definitely someone who has never cooked brunch. Egg benidict was a hard boiled egg, grits were so thick and way to much pepper. Eggs over easy were toast and burned. Service was Marginal. Omelet was also over done. We will continue to dine for dinner but avoid brunch. .“

“It’s rare that I write reviews, but our experience at Borgo absolutely deserves one — and for context, my wife and I are truly food obsessed. We moved here from Austin, TX and northern New Jersey, both places where excellent Italian food is easy to find. In the three years we’ve lived here, we’ve tried at least 15 restaurants in the area, and every single one has been forgettable, I’ll leave it at that. Borgo changed that instantly. From the moment we walked in, I noticed something unusual: the dining room was full, yet the atmosphere was calm, lively but not loud. When we sat down, we found ourselves next to three older couples speaking Italian. That alone told me we might finally be in the right place. A lot of restaurants claim to be “family owned,” but at Borgo, it’s the real thing. The entire family is from Italy. The owner came over to welcome us personally and took our order with genuine warmth. His wife is the chef. His sister was checking on tables and making sure everything ran smoothly. The whole experience felt like stepping into a small trattoria in a small Italian town and I don’t say that lightly. The food was exceptional. We started with the burrata with prosciutto and an arugula salad. Both were exquisite. The burrata tasted incredibly fresh and was served at the perfect temperature I don’t know if it’s homemade, but it certainly tasted like it. The arugula was vibrant and peppery, as if it had just been picked, and the dressing was beautifully balanced. For mains, we had the trout, the linguine with mushrooms, and the eggplant parm. Every dish was outstanding, but the eggplant parm stopped me in my tracks — I literally closed my eyes after the first bite. It was that good. Dessert was tiramisu and the limoncello cheesecake, and both were flawless. Light, flavorful, and not overly sweet, exactly how they should be. And the service? Flawless. Warm, attentive, personal, the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like you’re eating in someone’s home rather than a restaurant. It took us 45 minutes to drive to Borgo and we cannot wait to go back. After three years of searching, we finally found a place that feels like the real deal. Simply put, our experience was exceptional.“

“Always excellent service ‼️Always excellent food ‼️“

“I enjoyed my meal overall but wanted to leave a review here since for whatever reason ubereats would allow me to rate my order.I wanted to give this order 5 stars because overall I really did enjoy my meal but there just a few things preventing me from doing so.I ordered the spaghetti it’s a TASTY and HUGE portion of food. But my garlic bread was very BURNT. So burnt I’m surprised they thought it was fit to serve.The salmon with rice and salad was good! You get a ton of Haitian rice. I never had it before but really enjoyed it. Although the rice had a slightly burnt taste to it. Like the rice itself wasn’t burnt but maybe the bottom of the pot was. But it was still edible and well seasoned but the burnt after taste does linger. Also, they forgot to include my plantains.Lastly, I ordered what was labeled “Haitian Kola” on Uber eats thinking it was some sort of fancy Hatian cultural soda and was really excited to try a new drink but it turned out to be regular old fashioned coke. I was a bit disappointed and had I known it was regular Coke I would not have ordered it.Overall the items that bothered me weren’t enough to write this place off completely. Everyone has off days so I will try it again. But next time I’ll try it in person instead of ubereats.Like I said great taste and HUGE portions. Will give them another try.“

“Normally don’t write reviews, but I wanted to come here because I was in search of a new pizza spot instead of the one I usually go to. And honestly, I’m so glad I did!

The pizza was really good, the sauce was great, the cheese was amazing, and I loved how the toppings weren’t extra or overwhelming. We got a 14-inch and loved it.

The gelato was amazing too! I especially loved the peach cobbler flavor.

We also had an amazing server named Kiki. She was so sweet and super attentive, always asking if we needed anything else even though it was pretty busy when we came in.

10/10 would definitely come back again. The prices are amazing too!“

“Delicious pizza and subs, good prices, and great customer service.“

“Order food a while back and all I could think about for the next 47 minutes and 29 second was how freaking good that pepperoni Magnifico was. The cheese was perfectly melted, the pepperoni was just the right amount of crispy and crust was just simply delectable. The way that thing fit in the box just right almost had me in tears. And that’s not even to mention the perfect hand off I got from the driver. I wish I knew their name so I could shout them out. I even had a dream about how sensational this whole experience was. Got to my house hot and in time too! Will never forget that experience, Marcos will forever be my go to pizza place. GOATED!“

“Garrett was our server last minute because we showed up before the restaurant closed. He was one of the nicest servers we have had here at this location and we will ask for him again! He came and checked on us multiple times made sure the food was great and was smiling the whole time. Had a great experience will be back.“

“Their food is great, and customer service even better. This restaurant is very intentional about their operation. I'm impressed!“

“The crust is the best! Sauce good too.“
