I have big hands so that goes to show much food there was and the Onions were delish with their green sauce. I ate for two days on it and of course the Inca Kola is a classic, Best soda around.”

“The staff are always very polite with me, and I eat here once or twice a week, eat-in or delivery. The woman who works at the front has a very polite manner and obviously works hard. Shocked to see reviews complaining about rude service. I suspect some customers may have an attitude problem of which they’re unaware!

The pizza is solid - not great, but solid. They use flavorful cheese and sauce; the crust of the pizza for whatever reason strikes me as off, almost as if mass manufactured, even though I know it’s freshly made. Had Penne Ala Vodka with meatballs a while back. Also good, not great. Overall, however, the food is good enough that I keep coming back, and I think the prices are reasonable.

And they have a slice and a drink special for four bucks! Great deal these days. Give them a try. Nice people. And remember: YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE IN LIFE‼”

“My family and I enjoyed an excellent dinner at Riuniti Pizza & Restaurant prior to attending a concert at the Carteret Theater.\nThe menu is very broad with dishes that will satisfy anyone's palate. The interior is classic italian with beautiful tile floors and walls in a very tasteful motif. I loved the real Christmas tree and decorations that provided a warm Holiday feel in keeping with the season.\nWe ordered Caesar Salads and Calamari for our appetizers and Veal and Chicken parmesan for our dinners. Portions were large and our choices were prepared to perfection. This restaurant is BYOB but there is a liquor store next door for your convenience.\nTable service was quick and efficient. Kinga , our server, took our orders accurately and knowing that we were attending a concert, made sure that our orders got top priority in the kitchen. She was also very personable and helped us to pick our choices, understanding our culinary preferences.\nI wholeheartedly recommend Riuniti Pizza & Restaurant as a top choice for great food, great atmosphere and excellent staff for any event or for just a quite family dinner.”
