“Had a fantastic Valentine’s dinner at Bistro Seven Three in Bernardsville last night! Food was unbelievable and the service was friendly and really attentive! Thanks! We’ll be back!“

“The food is amazing and it never disappoints. Love the atmosphere and coziness of this place.“

“Overall we enjoyed a wonderful meal. We ate at the bar and had a very good meal good service from the younger bar tender. The only negative was the grumpy older bartender who spent most of the time ignoring us and paying attention to his phone.“

“Absolutely one of the best tasting pies around! Been going there for years. They also have a new garlic spread that is a MUST HAVE! Great to dip your slice in or have on a white slice. If you haven’t tried it yet, ask for it when you order a pizza! 🍕🇮🇹👌🏼“

“My very Italian New York family and some friends joined us for a celebration at Chianti Wood Fired Pizza (Bernardsville) this past Saturday evening and they are still raving about the delicious food and quality service. We had originally booked a party of 15 and due to unforeseen circumstances ended up having 22 people show up. Frank was so gracious about it and quickly added tables and chairs. The food kept coming and we ate until we rolled out of there. I wish I could pick a favorite food we had but everything was so delicious that I can't decide. The calamari, brussel sprouts and grandma's pizza immediately come to mind. We plan on returning for future celebration and will hopefully get the number of guests right lol.“

“They expanded the dining area and what an improvement! Nice atmosphere and good food!“

“We went last night to celebrate NYE at Rosie's... the food was delicious, however we did not get our dinner until 10:45. We arrived at 8:30. In fact, our table was last to receive each course of the meal, and it was just too slow. The bill for 4, with tip, was $650, which is too much to receive such poor service.“

“Best food ever 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 love coming here with our family Tammy and Sal the owners are so nice very special people and so are their waiters and waitresses we love Palo Thanks to our Father for introducing us to Dimaios“

“I have known Adolfo for a long time and not only He’s a great Person but an outstanding Chef and in his latest endeavor nothing has changed . Great quality food with plenty of care and dedication to his craft and unbelievable ambience inside the Restaurant with fun and friendly Staff all around . I highly recommend it to give it a try …“

“Oh man… where to start. The service was phenomenal, great recommendations, great atmosphere, the owner, Ms. Dana greeted us with a smile, Nikki the manager was great to deal with. Now the food… I had the special, “The Gobbler” and it was unbelievably tasty. The crunch from the toasted bread, the flavors all together were a symphony on my taste palette. My gf got the “Toni Ann” and she couldn’t talk while we were eating together because she wouldn’t stop stuffing her face. After she said the chicken cutlet was cooked perfect, mozzarella was fresh, peppers were exquisite. Overall experience was just mind-blowing. I’d recommend Ferraro’s to any person, local or travelers, you NEED to stop and eat here.“

“I have been eating here for years. It’s one of the best Italian restaurants in New Jersey. I have been lucky enough to take customers to many restaurants in NY and NJ and Vincenzo’s is one of the best around. The food and service is awesome. I recommend you going there.“

We were not rushed and enjoyed every savory bit of food that was put before us. They also catered to me being a vegetarian. We finished our meal with the most delicious homemade gelato . if ever given the opportunity, please do not pass this gem of a restaurant up.“

“What a find! We are local but this was our first time here. Been going to the nail salon near by for years and decided to try the restaurant with friends! It is now my favorite restaurant and not only near because it is near by.

Can't wait to go back and try more from the menus. The Supa de Pesce was spectacular. Fresh and delicious! Service was great as well! Can't wait to return and try some other items on the menu! As a pescatarian this may well be my new favorite restaurant and being local
Is a bonus!!!“

“I never write reviews, but this one is worth writing! Yesterday was my Dad's 97th birthday. I ordered food from Anthony for his party of 25-30 people. Best choice I ever made! Not only were Anthony and Donna so nice and accommodating, but the food was out of this world! I cannot recommend Anthony's food, and service, more highly. Thank you Anthony and Donna for making my Dad's birthday even more special.“

“Beautiful alfresco dining weather permitting. Dinner never disappoints all selections excellemt. Best mussels ever. It’s not about the mussels but about the sauce which is FABULOUS.“

“Cute and cozy with something on the menu for everyone. restaurant was packed and seemed AC wasn't on , so on the warm side for temperature. Service seems rushed and smiles didn't come easy. My chicken piccata sauce was on the heavy side not light and clear like I'm used to but overall great flavor! Great neighborhood Gem!“

“Great food, excellent service from Dennis Yusko in coordinating our catered party!“

“After finishing my workout this morning, I found myself craving a good old-fashioned meatball parmigiana sandwich. I asked AI for local suggestions, and it pointed me toward Gabagool. Even though a meatball parm wasn’t listed on the menu, I decided to stop in and ask if they could make one. To my pleasant surprise — they happily did! The sandwich was absolutely delicious: perfectly seasoned meatballs, melted cheese, and just the right touch of sauce on fresh bread. I’ll definitely be back to try more from their menu — and maybe another one of those off-menu gems!“

“Luna Rossa is an exceptional restaurant which is run by a loyal and dedicated team under the direction of Adrian. Our first time visiting this establishment was with a party of 10. Adrian took all of our orders including appetizers without writing anything down. The food was delivered to perfection. I am astounded by the diversity of the menu, the ability to switch out sides, the quality and taste of the food. The chefs are talented and cook to delight every palate. I can not say enough about this wonderful restaurant including their staff Carlos, Kevin, and everyone that works so hard to deliver memorable meals. I look forward to going back soon. Thank you!“

“Fabulous food. Honestly don’t think there are many restaurants who can beat the food quality. If you haven’t tried it, you should.“

“We've been ordering here for a while now. It's one of the better NY/NJ style pizzas in the area without being too specialized.Their pasta and meat menu items are where they are best - looking at you Chicken Puicinella and Cavatelli with Broccoli.For appetizers, they have great wings which are crispy, the way I like them. Also, the fried calamari uses a very light batter, so it's not too heavy.We've ordered trays from them twice for parties and we weren't disappointed in the quantity provided and they were affordable.“

“Delicious food! Great staff!“

“Food is fresh and delicious! Hats off to the Chef! Great atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“Rarely do you find a restaurant that consistently provides a top level local experience for decades. The staff is attentive and caring and the food is just great. Sitting outside in the summer is relaxing and familiar. What you local haunt should be.“

“Four of us enjoyed this hidden gem in Randolph this evening. All four appetizers and entrees were superb. In both taste and presentation. Great value for the price and the services was superior. I recommend this restaurant highly for all.“

“It's always a delight to eat at Bruno's Bistro. The atmosphere is so warm and friendly. We're visiting family and getting to eat delicious, freshly prepared food. Some of our favorites are the cheese gnocchi with crabmeat in vodka sauce, short ribs, and the paroadelle bolognese. The pistachio dessert is to die for. Their whipped cream is homemade and to perfection. Mangia and enjoy!“

“The BEST in Stirling for anything from amazing Stromboli that cannot be beat - fresh doughnuts, bagels & the tastiest desserts... You can't go wrong here. PS: Meatballs are to die for!“

“I recommend this place, food is good. nice environment.“

“Absolutely outstanding! The food was incredibly fresh, and you could truly taste that everything was handmade with care. Every dish was full of flavor and felt authentically crafted. The service was just as impressive—our server took the time to answer questions, explain the menu, and offer excellent recommendations. A perfect combination of exceptional food and genuine hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Sometimes I crave their soups and pasta, although we all know is a pre made dish, the only things that they could improve is whenever they offer how you want your steak and one say medium rare and you get all cooked, not done , cooke… why bother to ask?
And Why offer a more expensive Lavazza coffee when they bring a coffee from the pot and does not say anything… that attitude in a downside… if one cannot do it, don’t offer…“

“Thank you Sapori for the amazing food you made for my family Father's Day party! The Baked ziti was so cheesy good, the green salad fresh & crisp, bruschetta was crunchy & lots of topping, & shrimp scampi garlic yum! the service was so friendly! Many Blessings to your family from Ken & JoAnne Betz xo“

“This is hands down my favorite pizza place. We’ve had them cater multiple family occasions and they never miss...everything is always fresh, on time, and a hit with everyone. Rosario is friendly, personable and accommodating. His son and staff are polite and helpful.
The pizza is consistently great, and you can tell they care about quality. It’s become our go-to for any gathering. Highly recommend.“

“Everything we have ordered from DaNapolis has been excellent...pizza, Chicken Francese, Shrimp Scampi, etc., everything is perfect. By far the best in the area.“
