still felt like an inconvience .

“Visited this restaurant with our friends, Eddie & Kathie, who live in the area and we had a marvelous time. Cocktails, wine, main meals and dessert were great as was the ambiance and the hospitality of Dina, who we met, her sister and the entire staff. We live about 50 minutes away but we will make it a point to return in the not so distant future.“

“Food is always excellent. Best pizza in town! The Grandma Pie and Eggplant Sorrentino Pie are especially fabulous! Mangia!“

“Ron's did our banquet of 160 people and everyone said the food was excellent. We found the staff on time with the food, extremely helpful, fairly priced and very generous with amounts. We will be using Ron's going forward. Thanks so much, Ron, it was great!“

“Five’s all around for this amazing pizza! We have ordered whole pies and sometimes simply a whole mess of slices. Each time it’s delish! The owner & staff are so friendly & helpful. It’s a cozy seating area….which would earn a “5” if there were a few more booths! Give it a try….you won’t be disappointed ❤️🍕“

“I absolutely recommend Pizza1! Beat pizza I’ve had in YEARS! They also cover the ENTIRE pie with mozzarella and I never bite into dough and sauce! FINALLY a pizza place that is not a con or CHEAP and uses ENOUGH Mozzarella! Their pies are also 16 inches,but it’s the biggest 16 in pie I’ve eaten! At least you can fold a slice of pizza from this place. Definitely get your next pie from this place! Hopefully they stay consistent!!“

“Very accommodating, great food, great atmosphere and wonderful place to dine“

“I like La Vita. It’s a nice option amongst a town full of franchise pizzeria restaurants.
We get sliced meats there and love the beet salad with hazelnuts. I hope this is taken constructively and not as harsh or overly critical:

When I get one arancini I’m always offered one very small side of marinara and never have been charged for it. It’s about a tablespoon of sauce in a small condiment cup. Now two weeks in a row I’ve gone in and asked for four arancini. Last week I was given two cups ( or tablespoons ) for four large risotto balls. Didn’t realize it till I got home. Today I asked for four arancini and was asked if I’d like marinara, said yes and was given one cup. I said I’d like one for each risotto ball and was told it would be extra.
That makes no sense. One condiment cup for four large arancini. Said I’d pay but explained my point.
Why not just increase the price 25-50 cents per ball and automatically include the sauce… and give a fuller cup of sauce ? It saves the unnecessary up charge which doesn’t make me feel good having to explain. Don’t know if I was charged because no receipt is ever given.

Also, the Caesar salad dressing has no flavor, it seems like no anchovy, lemon or garlic. Caesar dressing is a specific recipe and thought would be honored in such an establishment. Just offer authentic dressing and an “ lighter “ option.
Also, when I ask for it to go why is it dressing is on the side? It’s like romain lettuce from the supermarket in a box instead of a cellophane bag… just at a higher price.

And the porchetta meal I had recently-
while delicious was mostly fat and not much meat or fennel. Not a lot for the price.

Finally, I had asked for a caprese sandwich but said focaccia was too much bread and was offered a hero and said yes.
I know, I know… Hero’s are huge and I wasn’t thinking because I said focaccia is too much bread. But I said I didn’t want a lot of bread. So, a hero wasn’t a good alternative- and without olive oil or balsamic on the bread makes for a very dry sandwich even though the arugula was dressed nicely and the ingredients fresh and tasty. It’s too much bread for a tomato mozzarella and arugula sandwich. I ate everything except the bread. Was there a better option? Communication.“

“Just moved here from NH. Got it to go. My husband and I loved the food for such a reasonable price. We live in Sparta and this place is only 2.5 miles from our new home! Yea!!“

“Grabbed both breakfast (BEC PK) on a roll and then lunch (Sausage, Peppers and Onions) today, both were great. The breakfast sandwich was layered perfectly between the meat, 3 eggs and cheese that it came with. It wasn’t greasy and it also wasn’t falling apart when you were eating it. The Sausage, Peppers and Onions sub came on some really fresh bread, had a ton of flavoring and again, not greasy. Definitely would recommend if you are in the area and want to try something delicious on the go.“

“A Hidden Gem in Wharton That Keeps Getting Better!

This evening we had a truly wonderful dinner at Reno’s Pizzeria and Restaurant in Wharton, NJ. From start to finish, everything about our visit was top-notch. Our server, Shirley, was incredibly attentive—friendly, prompt, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. What really stood out, though, was that Reno himself came by to check in and ensure we were enjoying our evening. It’s not every day you see that level of care and pride from an owner, and it absolutely elevated the experience.

We started with two fantastic appetizers—the eggplant rollatini and little neck clams in marinara sauce. Both were delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. For entrees, we chose the mahi mahi in mango sauce special and the shrimp scampi over linguini. Each dish was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. Compliments to the chef—truly excellent work in the kitchen!

We ended our meal on a sweet note with the mini cannolis, which were perfectly crispy and bursting with flavor.

Although Reno’s (formerly Maria’s) has been a staple in town for some time, their recent expansion into a charming sit-down dining area has added so much to the local dining scene. It’s cozy, welcoming, and a perfect spot for a relaxed and satisfying dinner. Reno’s is a real asset to Wharton, and we’ll definitely be back! (PS It's BYOB!)“

“Owner Steve makes an outstanding pie. He’s been in the business along time and knows all the secrets to making a delicious pizza. He was very personable and I look forward to going back soon. OOne of my new favorite pizza restaurants around.“

“I loved this experience very good. The real tall blond lady helped me with my walker and walked me to the door. Such a kind and caring soul on gods green earth. Blessed thy heart!“

“The food here is outstanding & delicious! You must try the Sicilian Grandma's Pizza. The crust was amazing as is how they make a Sicilian slice of pizza. It's the right balance of crust and fresh ingredients without it being overpowered with dough. The salad we had was delicious too. Everything so far we had here is just phenomenal as is the customer service, staff & owner. Definitely go and check it out!“

“Today was our first visit here and we will definitely be coming back. Their Sicilian pizza is super delicious. I can’t wait to go home and try their cannolis.❤️❤️“

“Carmine's is our go to place whenever we crave Italian or a cheesesteak. Husband and I were there yesterday for late lunch. Excellent pasta fagioli soup, huge slices of pizza, and overstuffed, cheesesteak. Great service and reasonable prices. We were informed there is an extra charge if you're not paying cash. This is becoming a common practice and we were informed of it. Server was excellent and made us feel welcome. I was asked if I knew of any pizza parlors served gluten free and of course I recommended Carmine's.“

“Thank you, George and staff Always aiming to make things right.“

“I ordered Mike’s Special Pizza yesterday, and it is amazing! Reminds me of a combination of their Chicken Aurora Dinner (which I love) and their Grandma Pizza (so so good.) My kids also love the burgers here. I look forward to ordering again!“

“specifically asked for half with no cheese I called and spoke to someone there to make sure there was NO CHEESE on half. She asked if it was an allergy and I said "no I just DO NOT EAT DAIRY" I got the pie and noticed after eating 2 pieces there is cheese under the sauce . WTF I haven't eaten dairy in 6 years. I called back and they said there is nothing they can do about it. furious and upset. and I'm sure a little sick later . I hate leaving bad reviews on local businesses, but I am furious.“

“Just started ordering from Anthony & Sons all the way from Northeastern PA and couldn't be happier with the selection and fantastic service. Excited to incorporate their breads and rolls into our menu.“

“Muy buena comida me encanta la pizza y las alitas de pollo con picante“

“Brian is a gem, great service and Drinks. Some of the other should take tips from him, not as good but overall service and food is very good. There should be uniformity in cooking, for example the pastrami sloppy joe has been in 2 pcs ,grilled and other times it's 3 pcs toasted, other times it's not grilled or tosted and served sandwich style, 2 pcs. White bread!! Great food and drinks overall, no matter how it's served. Try them and you'll become a regular patron!!

Parking: Parking is very good whole parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, try em you'll see for yourself!!

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible by wheelchair, from parking to restaurant, whether diner or tavern.“

“My husband and I have visited La Strada a number of times over the years. Back in April, after the pandemic, when eating inside was allowed once again, we visited and wasn't happy with the service, nor the meal. But keep in mind, most places were having a difficult time finding help. We thought that we would once again give La Strada a try, and we were very happy and delighted with everything. First, the service was excellent. Upon sitting down, bread, butter and a array of olives were served. We then ordered drinks and dinner. Dinner came with a wonderful house salad. (We loved the house dressing.) My husband order Chicken Marsala and I ordered Chicken Parm. Both meals were excellent and very generous in size. (Enough left overs for another meal.) They obviously had gotten a new chef, who is excellent. Also, they had a number of waiters/waitresses, who were very attentive. They really have greatly improved over our last experience, and we'll be going back soon.“

“Excellent food! Friendly atmosphere as well?“

“My first time here and the food was great! The atmosphere inside is really nice and they play good music. The mushroom ravioli, charcuterie and lamb lollipop were all fantastic! We went at night on a cold day; but, we plan to go back in the summer or maybe lunch to catch views of the lake. I would definitely recommend!“

“Frank’s is the best pizza place around! Their food is always so fresh and the waitstaff is great. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!“

“We always love ordering from La Gratella. For big parties we like to order a tray of Cavatelli and Broccoli with chicken in their garlic sauce, it's absolutely delicious! Their lunch specials are also great, my favorite is the chicken francese sub!“

“Pepperoni pizza is a flavorful masterpiece, with a perfect balance of toppings on a deliciously crispy crust. The service is friendly and efficient, making every visit a pleasure. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this pizzeria is a must-try for authentic Italian pizza lovers.“
