“Food was amazing !! Must check out“

“Undiscovered goodness in Levittown. Very nice byob with excellent food. The Ceasar salad, bread and oil with herbs and balsamic was a great start.
Chicken piccatta and the veal marsala came with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables in a nice presentation. No knife needed and the taste was phenomenal. Staff and service were excellent and priced reasonable. Will be back and will recommend to friends and family.
Thank you chef, staff and management.

P.s.make sure you take a dessert home the pistachio ricotta cake was great.“

“If you are looking for a family based excellent restaurant this is your place. Iccara has been in business for as long as I can remember. Their food is outstanding, the atmosphere on point. Most importantly the family are awesome! If you've never been you are missing out on a true gem! Now I'm hungry lol!!“

“The food has always been good here, but our waitress last night was above and beyond. It was packed but she never let more than a few minutes pass to check on us. In our rush to leave, we forgot to grab our leftovers and she ran to the parking lot to catch us! Mackenzie is a huge asset to your business and her service is truly appreciated, thank you!“

“We got their menu in our mailbox last week. Tried them tonight and we enjoyed their food very much. Nice thin crispy crust, nicely seasoned sauce, nice amount of cheese and toppings. A definite "recommend" !“

“My family and I have been coming to Non Solo for years for their authentic Italian delicious food. Recently I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and tried Non Solo's gluten free pasta at the owners suggestion. It was fabulous and I had no reactions. I can't wait to go back and try more. Thank you Jerry“

“We had a Birthday party here oct 5, 2024 in a private room and we were very pleased with everything from the food to the service. Our servers were fabulous!!!! would definitely recommend to everyone.“

“If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable meal, Toscano in Bordentown, NJ is the kind of place that sets the bar. I finally got to try it after hearing rave reviews, and let me tell you—it absolutely lived up to the hype.

Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but the flavors, the quality, and the whole experience are worth every penny. This isn’t food you can recreate at home. The service was incredibly fast and attentive, without ever feeling rushed. Our server knew the menu inside and out and helped guide us to what ended up being one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.

Let’s talk food. The root beer pork chop—I’m still thinking about it. This is no ordinary pork chop. It was so tender I could almost cut it with a fork, and somehow, it was juicier than any steak I’ve had. The flavor was out of this world—sweet, smoky, and savory in perfect harmony. Paired with a side of their French Onion Soup, heaven is right around the corner with this combo. If you go, do not skip this.

That said, the steaks here are also incredible—some of the best you’ll find within a 30-minute drive, easy. They come out sizzling on a 500-degree plate, perfectly seared and full of bold, beefy flavor from their in-house dry aging.

And then… the butter cake. I honestly think it might be the best dessert I’ve ever had. It comes out warm, with a creamy, cinnamon-kissed richness that’s so intense, it’s almost too decadent to eat alone. (But that didn’t stop me from trying.)

Because Toscano is that good, it gets busy—so definitely make a reservation if you’re planning ahead. If not, the bar area is a great backup for a more casual visit, and the food is just as amazing.

Bottom line: Toscano is worth the trip, the price, and the planning. It’s that kind of special-occasion place that delivers every single time.“

“Absolutely amazing food. Superb service by Miguel F“

“Have had dinner there several times with friends and everyone has always been most complimentary of meals served. I have personally enjoyed the shrimp and scallops as well as stuffed flounder. Also ordered for take out catering trays of chicken and penne vodka for a family event which were wonderful. Great place with a strong menu and terrific meals. Also ordered several catered dinners for my family including chicken Marcella and penne vodka.“

“We had our Thanksgiving dinner and everything was great. I look forward to additional gatherings in the future.“

“First time dining at diamonds. Everything was absolutely delicious. The fried calamari had some spicy hot peppers in it with a marinara sauce. It was so good my husband had his favorite chicken Parmesan with Bolognese sauce super scrumptious, and I had the beef Wellington with pasta. it was absolutely outstanding. We will definitely be back . Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.“

“You will always see this place full of happy returning patrons and we are two of them. Food quality is fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. You have to try their Brick Oven pizzas. If you crave an American cheese hoagie, that is prepared on the best tasting roll in New Jersey, delicious cheese, and crisp lettuce and onions, try one of theirs. The very best that we have ever judged.“

“Don't let this place fool you. It may not look like much from the outside. The pizza is excellent. Have even had a number of family events there over the years and it was great every time. Was there tonight and will certainly be back. They put their $ into the quality of the food rather than the ambiance. Place is clean and the owner and staff are friendly. Rates 10 Stars if possible. Reminds me of Pizza places I would frequent with my friends back in the early 70s“

“We stopped at one of those amazing places that you see on Instagram yesterday and they had no selection . We stopped at Carluccis and they had a full case of pizza selections to choose from , the steak and pepper pizza was amazing as well as the chicken bacon ranch , usually places use too much ranch not here , the pizza was the focus . My wife had a traditional slice and said the sauce was excellent . Your staff was super friendly and what also who I believe was the manager was awesome and made us aware of your in house special . We will be back for sure .
Thank You“

“Great dishes Your son is incretable“

“Huge shoutout to Angelo’s tonight. Only wish I would’ve remembered my server’s name, to give her extra recognition here. We went out for an important dinner tonight. We were celebrating something small, but meaningful. When we called they had no reservations available for the evening, but then called us back and squeezed us in at 4:30. The power went out in the entire city after we were served our first course. We were served our entrees in the dark, with the same elegance, as of nothing had occurred. Even with the unfortunate circumstances, we were treated like royalty by the entire staff, and had an exceptional dining experience. I will be dreaming of the escarole, until I have it again. Thank you Angelo’s! Great job! 👏🏽“

“Best homemade Italian food We had the grandmom pizza, the eggplant parmigiana,the chicken parmigiana, the cheese steak and the homemade fresh mozzarella, was the best we never had!! Try Bella's you will be very impressed,“

“What Amazing food and staff!“

“Love the food here! Friendly atmosphere and the service is always great 😊“

“Everything was delicious. The pizza is so good! Food was served extremely quickly. Dinner for three, including an appetizer, two sodas, one glass of wine, and three pizzas was about seventy dollars.“

“i love their food. it never disappoints. everything is so good. pizza, sandwiches, chicken fingers, etc. everything ive tried so far is really good. sometimes the wait for delivery is an hour, but my food is still hot when it gets here! i really love this place!“

“I was hungry and decided to pop in for a bite. I haven't eaten here in years. I ordered a personal pie, fries and a beverage. Very friendly service and attentive, so I decided to dine-in. After taking a few bites of my pizza, was not too thrilled with the taste. I am not sure which brand of mozzarella cheese they used, or cheese in general. Just a flavor I wasn't use to. Though, my fries were good. I'll come back and try something else other than their pizza.“

“Their Chicago deep dish is to DIE for!“

“Ordered dinner tonight and 15 minutes later, they brought it out curbside & loaded into my car. Zero contact. The food was fresh, hot and delicious! Thank you!“

“A local classic! Rocco's has been serving amazing pizza for decades. A staple of Florence Township!“

“Best 🍕 Pizza in So. Trenton !!!“

“It was a cold and windy night and we were so happy to be at John Henry's! We were warmly greeted upon arrival and immediately seated. Our waiter Will gave us all the time we needed to look over the menu while he brought our drinks. He was so very nice and pleasant and made our dinner fun and enjoyable! The food was excellent (as always) and Will checked back with us several times to see if we needed anything. I did ask for more bread but couldn't finish it all so Will packed it up and let me take it home! I must say that evening was one of the best highlights I've experienced during this forever cold, dark and dreary winter. Well done!!! Thanks again!“

“One of the best low key Italian restaurants in our area. Always delicious food and great help there. Fair prices and large enough to accommodate everyone. Don’t miss it“
