50 Best Italian Restaurants near Chesilhurst

“My favorite place for food, people and atmosphere. Highly recommend. My favorite is chicken capri, finger steaks and awesome salad with cheese“

“Top of the line restaurant at average pricing. BYOB is nice also. Five star on quality of food, service and it’s Italian flare.“

“The pizza was exceptional, but the customer service did not meet expectations. We waited extensively for our waitress, who was engaged in conversation for 20 minutes or more, and never returned to our table to inquire about additional needs or requests. Thank you!“

“Great take-out family style menu that changes with the seasons. Delicious, quality Italian food for a great value.“

“absolutely delicious. highly recommend!!! employees are super nice! our waitress was Debbie and couldn't have been any nicer . it was our first time there and we WILL BE BACK thank you all“

“always have a good meal here. we even do take outs for sandwiches and pizza and never had a issue.“

“Ambiance and service was great. Very friendly host that shared her favorite dishes. Dining room was cozy and inviting. Friendly service and great, made-in-house desserts. Entrees were pretty good. Carrot sauce was unexpectedly delicious, but didn’t love the lobster raviolis. Linguine and clams were very flavorful. Each clam was larger than a quarter but they were hard to chew. Everything else was great and partner had no complaints. They even gave us complimentary limoncello because it was our first time. I would rate them 4 1/2 stars but it’s not an option.“

“We had a delicious dinner on Mother’s Day. Our server, Melissa, was a delight. We have passed this restaurant many times with the intention of trying it out. So glad we finally did!!“

“Excellent food, excellent service. Our favorite restaurant in Medford. The food is always fresh and delicious.“

“Gentlemen handed me a menu while outside in my development. figured I would give it a try. Wings and eggplant sub where outstanding! Will he back.“

“I have only had the bar pie with extra pepperoni but as a PA transplant that has been searching for a good pie I have found it!!! Absolute gem of a pizza and I can’t wait to try other things from them.“

“I have been to Mamma Rosa several times, so this deserving review is overdue. In a word…..FABULOUS! The decor of this BYOB is so welcoming and comfortable, with an intimate and romantic setting. The service is 2nd to none. The menu is not overwhelming, but has plenty to choose from, and then add in the daily specials and there’s something for everyone’s taste. All of the pasta varieties are AMAZING! We had two appetizers on special, a burrata with grilled peach slices and prosciutto and grilled shrimp with fava beans and asparagus with a touch of lemon. Both were to die for! For entrees we had eggplant parmigiana and from the specials, lobster ravioli with jalapeño peppers in a thickened, but not heavy blush sauce. Both were delicious, but the lobster ravioli was in another level, what a compliment the jalapeños made! We then had dessert and coffee to top off the meal. I would eat at Mamma Rosa’s daily if I could! If you haven’t been here, then you really need to go, if you have, I bet you’ve been back!“

“Amazing. I love this place. Everyone is so nice and it feels like home. Love Loretta’s lasagna!!!“

“We had an event at Tullia’s and everything was amazing! From the moment I first called the customer service experience was fantastic! I was able to drop everything off the night before. The Tullia’s staff did an amazing job setting up our event.. Everything I dropped off was set up perfectly ( Beer, Wine, cake, custom menus, party favors , picture boards) and ready when we arrived. The food was fantastic. The service was perfect and you can’t beat BYOB. Big shout out to Enza! They get five stars plus from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food was very good! Waitress, bartender and everyone in there was so nice! Will definitely go back!“

“Eggplant parm is great. I ask for olive oil to put on my dish to pick it up a little. Fresh basil or parsley would be a nice option. Not available.
Salad is tired and outdated. I bring some mixed nuts and cranberries from home to throw on top to give it some life. Offer some candied walnuts, goatcheese, something!!! Salad has become boring.
Wines are good. House Cab is good enough with meal!!
Spaghetti/marinara sauce is excellent, from someone who cooks sauce from scratch. Actually looked up online to create their sauce.
I dont get breadsticks. Dont want fillers.
Its a Thursday night , 7:00 pm, not crowded.
Put a happy hour in the bar area?
Loved the eggplant parm.
The choc cheese cake dessert was a disappointment. The picture at the table made the dessert look soft and homemade.
Reality. It was processed, bland, supermarket. Would not order it again.“

“This restaurant has been around forever and I’m just going to add to the compliments. It’s been about a year since I’ve been in and for a Tuesday evening it was plenty busy. My gf and I started with the clams casino which were phenomenal. I got the scallop and crabs over angel hair. I swear I’ve never seen so many crabs and scallops in a meal before. I ate a lot and took some home that still had plenty of crabs and scallops. My gf got the broiled seafood platter which she loved. I also had a raspberry margarita which was awesome. Great wait and bus staff. Thank you Joes Maplewood for a wonderful night and meal.“

“Lord of Life's Lunch Bunch dined there yesterday. There were 13 of us. We had a great time. The food was fabulous and waitress was fun. Everyone is planning on visiting again! The eggplant was out of this world! This place is a gem.“

“It was our 1st time there today and the woman who owns it was so friendly. We got vegetable soup, chicken cutlets, eggplant parmesan and a side of string beans and everything was delicious. All the food was homemade and you could taste the care she took in making everything. We can't wait for our next visit!“

“I’m not normally one to leave reviews, but this experience was especially frustrating. I placed a Grubhub order for a small white pizza from Santucci’s — a specific request that means a lot to my family. My son has special needs and a restrictive eating disorder, and this white pizza from Santucci’s is one of the only foods he’ll actually eat. I timed the delivery to make sure it would arrive by dinner, and when I opened the box and saw a regular red sauce pizza instead, I was heartbroken. Mistakes happen — I get that. What made this worse was how it was handled when I called the restaurant. A young woman who answered the phone was kind and apologetic, and I appreciated that. But after holding for over six minutes, I was passed to someone who immediately accused me of placing the order wrong. I had already double-checked my Grubhub receipt before calling — the order was placed correctly. I even had a screenshot as proof. When I was passed to the manager, I expected a little more compassion and accountability. Instead, I was met with indifference and more blame. I offered to send a screenshot to show the order was right on my end, but the manager refused to look at it and stood by their claim that I was the one at fault. Ironically, the first woman I spoke with had mentioned it looked like a system issue on their end — which made the gaslighting from management all the more frustrating. To be clear, this wasn’t just a minor inconvenience. When your child has very limited safe foods, and you make an intentional effort to get the one thing they will eat — only to have it messed up and then be blamed for it — that’s a big deal. The mistake was frustrating. The lack of accountability and empathy? Even worse. I’m incredibly disappointed with how this was handled and hope Santucci’s reflects on how to better support customers, especially when mistakes are made“

“Loved it!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!“

“The owner is a very nice person. The atmosphere was good and so was the food! I was craving a couple slices all day of pizza and the owner made sure I got my craving satisfied with their honey siracha chicken pizza. Definitely coming back!“

“Finally got over to try cibo And let me tell you genaro, did not disappoint! Our food not only was fresh and hot, but every dish was 100% perfection. Take some time out of your busy day and head over and check cibo out! you won't be disappointed..“

“How come there is rarely any plain or pepporoni pizza slices available for pickup? I feel like every time I call, they only have unpopular slices available like vegetable slices and pepper & onion, even on a Friday and Saturday night“

“Didn’t know about them until I got a card in the mail and so close! Perfect pizza!!!! Second time we ordered tonight, they answer the phone, prompt delivery (they said 45min but delivery was here in 20 min!) and the food is so good! Good specials and prices too.“

“So glad he changed his rolls for the cheesesteaks! He has these awesome seeded rolls now and they’re the best ever!! I hated those shitty rolls he had before. They were awful and would always fall apart and the bread just dry and gross. That’s why my family and I stopped ordering from there for a while. But now the rolls are incredible!! 😇“

“Im not a certified food reviewer but the service here was outstanding. The food was something that would cure the soul. I don't recommend ordering any alcoholic beverages though, they were very pricey for the quality but the food was absolutely chefs kiss 🤌“

“Best hoagie I've had in a long time ,will always order there“

“Hands down the best pizza in south jersey. And we eat all over. Glad it’s in the next town but we would drive two hours for this pizza. Owners and staff are so friendly and it’s really starting to look nice inside.“

“This is my #1 go to spot. Antonio and his crew make the best pizza! We enjoy everything on their menu, pizza, wings, salads and sandwiches. Great place reasonably priced and quality food. You have to try Capri! We even like Sal! 😂😂“

“Love the cheesesteak!!! Go there everytime we are in town!!“

“I ordered a Too Good Too Go surprise bag (my first time) and got way more than I anticipated! Sever different types of slices of pizza and zeppoles. I grabbed tiramisu since it’s my husbands favorite (he said it was the best he had in a long time!) the owner was very nice and gracious!“

“tasted awesome! our first time ever having it.“

“we just stopped by to get meatball sandwiches, very good!“

“The seafood buffet was incredible. The lobster and various crab offering were nicely seasoned along with the shrimp offering. Great lobster Mac and cheese.“

“Excellent food and always great service whether I eat there or take out.“

“Edited to say: Try the wings. They are HUGE! Pizza was also a hit. Delivery prompt and friendly. Thank you!

Jazzy atmosphere, very high energy. Staff is friendly and polite. Generous portions. I had a pork sandwich, which was well seasoned and delicious. The only concern I had is that they have Pepsi products and won’t let you get tap water if you don’t like Pepsi. Cold bottled water in the fridge isn’t for me. (Some of us seniors have our preferences.)

I hope these people are successful because the area needs a food option like this. But, please consider letting seniors (and others) have tap water. Thank you.“
