“Stopped for lunch with hubs and friends. We we're looking to share a pizza, this is NOT that place. Yes, personal size for dine in. We opted for sandwiches. 2 ordered the roast pork, broccoli rabe, sharp provolone and both finished and raved how delicious 😋 Other 2 of us ordered the cheesesteak with LTO, red wine vinegar and olive oil, I added light mayo. The rolls these sandwiches were served were fantastic 😋 The sammies were NOT "packed" with fillings like a cheesesteak joint. Nicely presented with homemade potato chips. Quality of ingredients is huge because I can't eat a lot. The red wine vinegar and olive oil was top notch. I use red wine vinegar almost daily 😋 I would definitely go back for the same meal, about 1hr from my home and worth the trip 😋“

“First time dining at diamonds. Everything was absolutely delicious. The fried calamari had some spicy hot peppers in it with a marinara sauce. It was so good my husband had his favorite chicken Parmesan with Bolognese sauce super scrumptious, and I had the beef Wellington with pasta. it was absolutely outstanding. We will definitely be back . Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.“

“Worth the Five-Year Wait!
We have been meaning to try Toscano Steakhouse for five years, and after finally going, my only thought is: what on earth were we thinking waiting so long?! From start to finish, the experience was flawless.
Our server, Debbie, was exceptional. Her knowledge of the menu, attentiveness, and sharp attention to detail truly elevated the evening. The rest of the staff mirrored that standard, making sure every single need and request was met seamlessly.
The food was spectacular across the board. We started with Emma's meatballs, which were a massive hit. For the main courses, the root beer pork chop was incredible, the salmon was completely delectable, and the eggplant certainly didn’t disappoint.
We topped the night off with some fantastic desserts. The staff even went out of their way to bring a complimentary dessert to celebrate our daughter and her husband's wedding anniversary—a genuinely thoughtful touch of hospitality that you just don't see much of anymore. We will absolutely be back, and we definitely won't be waiting another five years this time!“

“Ethan was an incredible server! Very attentive & took great care of us, will definitely be returning!“

“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! 👏🏽“

“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.“

“Had our reunion dinner there last night. The food was outstanding and our waitress was tremendous. She did a fantastic job.“

“Great pizza and fast delivery! Shout out to Brodie.“

“The food and atmosphere are AMAZING!!! Everything is so fresh and you can tell it is all made with the best ingredients. A great place to go for authentic Italian food and a plus is it's a BYOB!!!“

“I was up by Trenton for a dentist appt and went to get my lab work up there instead of by my house as I had time. I stopped by D&C as it looked interesting and I was hungry af. I drooled over much of the store (and enjoyed a sample!) before I settled on a peanut butter bomb. It took me 2 weeks to finish it, it was that rich. But OMG was it delicious. I somehow didn't lick the wrapper it was in, but it was by far the best dessert I have had in many years. I am sad this isn't close to me, but then again, probably for the best as everything there looked amazing! The line was long and everyone anxious to have lunch. I would definitely recommend! Part of the reason for my review is that I can search back and recall the name...if I am ever in the area...or in the mood for a road trip!❤️“

“Wanted to compliment . On a busy Saturday eve we ordered chopped Caesar , vodka sauce and chicken parm pie. This former Staten Islander who is a sauce snob was impressed . All things delicious and fresh and delivered within 40 minutes. Thank you . You’ve won this family over .“

“Trisha and Carleigh have worked tirelessly to ensure our wedding was as magical as it could have been!

Food: compliments from the entire guest list. Some of which are chefs themselves so that only adds to the praise.

Ambiance: The candles and the lighting with the chandeliers really make it look incredibly lovely.

Staff: Trisha and Carleigh handled logistics and made sure we were taken care of. The bridal suite is a wonderful spot to recuperate away from the guests for a bit and the made sure we had enough to eat and drink before rejoining everyone. Matt, our server, was just as attentive during the ceremony and even got me coffee without me asking based on how ragged i was looking throughout the night.

Overall: was a lovely choice for our wedding reception and they are quick to accommodate. Thank you again!“

“We came up from North Carolina to visit family and couldn’t wait to get some real New Jersey pizza — Anthony’s in New Egypt absolutely hit the spot. The pizza was amazing: crispy crust, perfect cheese, and that classic NJ flavor we’ve been missing. Great place, friendly staff, and awesome food. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!“
