“Looked a place up on the way home. Found this. Has good reviews. Drove up. First impressions uhh is this place abandoned? There's people inside. Parked and went in. The staff was friendly and inviting. We sat in. The food was good. They didn't really have drinks besides bottled water. Which is fine for me. Food came out in a good amount of time. Fairly priced.“

“Had reservations for 2 at 6:00 pm. We were seated right away, our waitress Avery was very friendly and attended to our needs. Our drinks and water came out right away. We had the fried zucchini as an appetizer and it was delicious. Both our entrees were delicious, I ordered the special of asparagus wrapped in prosciutto and feta cheese with shrimp in a white tomatoe sauce and my husband had shrimp fradiavlo over linguini. Over all the evening was delightful. We have been here several times and would come back again.“

“Absolutely amazing food. Superb service by Miguel F“

“Food and service were five stars as usual, have dined at Toscano many times over the years. However, I made a Sunday lunch reservation (8/3) expecting a lunch menu per their website. Only offered a dinner menu and no drink lists. Another negative during this visit was the amount of flies in the dining area. Several circled and landed on our food during our meal and many more could be seen on the ceiling. Never experienced this before here so hoping it was a blimp. Will visit again and am hopeful for a better dining atmosphere.“

“You will always see this place full of happy returning patrons and we are two of them. Food quality is fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. You have to try their Brick Oven pizzas. If you crave an American cheese hoagie, that is prepared on the best tasting roll in New Jersey, delicious cheese, and crisp lettuce and onions, try one of theirs. The very best that we have ever judged.“

“Best Pizza in The Area!! 🙌“

“Delicious every time we've ordered. The pizza dough is fresh and the salads are beautiful. Attention to detail is rare these days and is greatly appreciated! Would recommend. (We order thru "Slice" and they've been good too)“

“Food is good. & Excellent service from Nicole.Good to see people coming back to Tessara’s. A nice menu selection! A good place to check out !“

“Such a nice little restaurant. We were looking for somewhere to eat while heading out for the night and google had this place on the list. Italian food with amazing flavor!! Staff was wonderful, friendly, and helpful! Prices were mid range and great for two, but a large family might be a bit out of range. Portions size made up for the extra cost in my mind. Will go back next time we are in the area.“

“The best tomato pie ever.“

“BEST pizza in town! Friendly staff, great prices, amazing menu!“

“Incredibly welcoming staff. Quaint and historic interior. The food is out of this world! Can't wait to get back there again for that Primo sauce!“

“Huge shoutout to Angelo’s tonight. Only wish I would’ve remembered my server’s name, to give her extra recognition here. We went out for an important dinner tonight. We were celebrating something small, but meaningful. When we called they had no reservations available for the evening, but then called us back and squeezed us in at 4:30. The power went out in the entire city after we were served our first course. We were served our entrees in the dark, with the same elegance, as of nothing had occurred. Even with the unfortunate circumstances, we were treated like royalty by the entire staff, and had an exceptional dining experience. I will be dreaming of the escarole, until I have it again. Thank you Angelo’s! Great job! 👏🏽“

“Great food and excellent service“

“I am writing this review specifically to compliment the server Ritchley Junior M who not only displayed a gentle demeanor but was very welcoming and asked us every now and then if the food was good or we needed anything. We ordered minimal food like rigatoni pasta with five cheese marinara and breadstick with salad and felt very satisfied with our dinner with good potion of serving.“

“It was our first time here but we will be back dinner was delicious! Service was great ! We loved it here!“

“Thank you Dolce & Clemente who catered one of two Thanksgiving celebrations! Joe and Bella worked magic to help me create the most delicious menu—one that skipped the traditional dishes but still felt festive and perfect for the occasion. They not only delivered a meal that wowed everyone, but they also kept me from completely losing my mind while planning. I didn’t take enough food photos to do it justice., but trust me, it was unforgettable. The food got rave reviews all around. My 7-year-old great-niece inhaled three mac & cheese bites and made sure to take a fourth home. Meanwhile, my nephew—who doesn’t like pork (except bacon)—commented how great the “turkey” was... only to learn he’d gone back for seconds on a pork loin in garlic, white wine glaze! Dolce & Clemente nailed it from start to finish. If you’re considering catering for a big event, look no further. Thank you to Joe, Bella, and for making this celebration such a success! #dolceandclemente Dolce and Clemente's Italian Gourmet Market“

“I attended the most beautiful wedding last night at the Stone Terrace! Everything was done to perfection! Most of the staff seemed to be young, and I was blown away about how attentive they were. They were on top of every little detail, from serving hors d'oeuvres, to cleaning up tables, to refilling your water glasses, without even asking. I've never seen such a group of people work so hard and so efficiently. Everyone did a phenomenal job! The venue is absolutely stunning, as well as the outside patio, and where the ceremony was held. I've never been there before and didn't realize how much property and beautiful landscaping they have. If you are looking for a large venue in the Hamilton, NJ area, I highly recommend the Stone Terrace!“

“Grate customer service, quick and delicious. We Love it!“

“Delicious amazing food. Great atmosphere.“

“Super friendly staff. I loved my egg and cheese on a Keizer role sandwich, they serve breakfast all day long. Good trendy place to sit. Would recommend to others.“

“I absolutely love ordering from this restaurant. This is the only place that I will order my pizza from since I moved to the area. Anything that I have ever ordered from here has been absolutely delicious!“

“Food was amazing !! Must check out“

“I’ve eaten at Amari’s twice and plan to go back at least monthly because the food is scrumptious and very reasonably priced. The service is excellent as well; welcoming, friendly, professional and efficient. I highly recommend the caprese salad (I ask for tomatoes to be removed and prosciutto to be added), chicken soup and the pasta dishes.“

“Excellent food and service as always! Highly recommend“
