“daFilippo's is a hidden gem of a restaurant that has been my family's special occasion standard for many year's. The Northern Italian menu which changes to focus on only the freshest ingredients has a little Swiss influence and is presented with an artistic touch and personal care. Last evening I hosted sixteen business associates in the back room which has an iron gate for privacy. Filippo presented a five course meal which blew everyone away followed by him playing a few songs on the Piano. The Chicken or Cod dishes were pan seared to perfection. daFilippo's is a BYOB restaurant which I Love. My wife remarked how clean the restrooms are kept. Plenty of parking in the rear of the building. In closing, if you are looking for a family owned, unique restaurant where the owner chef touches every plate to ensure perfection then this is the place to make a reservation.“

Last weekend, we had the il Forno pizza truck for our son's rehearsal dinner and it was outstanding! They served a variety of delicious pizzas and just kept them coming for 2 hours. Service was perfect, there were many compliments from guests, and no one left hungry!

I would highly recommend them for any event!“

“My brother and I just had a memorial service for our parents and we went to Espo’s for a luncheon after the church. This place is amazing and Nick the owner treated us like royalty. The food was the best Italian food I’ve had. Nick and his staff made our celebration of life for my parents wonderfully memorable. I live in Colorado, but I will definitely visit Espo’s for a meal next time I’m in Raritan NJ. Thank you Nick“

“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!“

“Outstanding good food & service“

“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.“

“Buen servicio, excelente dinner y aperitivos, mi familia todos contentos y en especial mi esposa la del cumpleaños. Gracias.“

“After many friends telling how good AMA is I decided to grab a pie and meatball parm sub to give them a go. My words will not give their food justice but it is delicious. Napoletan done the right way. Not to mention the owner is beyond good people. Greeted me outside while I was waiting for them to open and then offered me an espresso while my food was being prepared. We will most certainly be back.“

“Best tacos in flemington!!!“

“every time i go i have wonderful experience, the food is always delicious and the staff are wonderful…nothing to complain. The last time my family and i went a waitress made her own decision to change our order. my husband and i shared a plate and we were supposed to get one salad to share too, my parents the same thing. instead of getting 2 salads to share she made her own decision to bring a bigger and more expensive salad for the four of us to share. Good thing my dad checked the bill and was able to spot it. The waitress did try to explain but it didn’t make sense and then later we saw on the bill that she gave us something we didn’t ask for. this never happened before but just always make sure you check the bill before paying. the manager was wonderful and very helpful about it.“

“So far so amazing this is our first experience“

“Thank you so much for making my daughters Sweet 16 so beautiful!! Everything was perfect! The staff was wonderful and very attentive. I highly recommend them if you need a place to have a party! Great food and service! Again, thank you for everything!!“

“Stopped here for lunch. Food was excellent and very much enjoyed the antipasto bar. Place was very clean and welcoming and service was great. The only thing we didn't like was the boardwalk pizza- zero flavor so that was a little disappointing. If we are in the area again, we would definitely stop here for lunch or dinner for their delicious meals, salads and antipasto bar!“

“Excellent food great service never disappoints highly recommend“

“Highly recommend the Calabria (eggplant/roasted peppers) pizza. Moved away to MD and love a chance to stop at Lenny’s when we are back in town.“

“Pizza always great!!! Love the Sicilian“

“These guys are the absolute best“

“We used them to cater our food for our wedding, and when I say they were perfect, I mean it!! They were professional, easy to use, and delivered everything up for us (in terms of food) while the ceremony was going on. We just set up the racks and sternos beforehand, and they did the rest. I had many people tell us that it was the absolute BEST wedding food they've ever experienced. And the price was unbeatable. Tons of people pay over $200 a plate at their wedding, and we paid less than $15 and we still had left over food!! AND people said it was the best! My uncle doesn't eat penne vodka, but he said he had 3 plates bc it was so good. With the leftovers, we were able to donate it to a homeless shelter. You couldn't ask for a better cater for your wedding food!!“
