“food was outstanding! Service was impeccable! Everyone on out party had to taste each other's food because we all raved about how delicious it was! Can't wait to go back!“

“5 Star all around, food, service, atmosphere and decor. Food is definitely fresh, light and filling. Delicious dessert too. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Such a nice little restaurant. We were looking for somewhere to eat while heading out for the night and google had this place on the list. Italian food with amazing flavor!! Staff was wonderful, friendly, and helpful! Prices were mid range and great for two, but a large family might be a bit out of range. Portions size made up for the extra cost in my mind. Will go back next time we are in the area.“

“Super friendly staff. I loved my egg and cheese on a Keizer role sandwich, they serve breakfast all day long. Good trendy place to sit. Would recommend to others.“

“We finally got around to trying this local eatery and were not disappointed. The service and the pizza were excellent. We chose outside seating, so unfortunately we had to endure a couple of noisy begging dogs someone chose to bring to dinner on the sidewalk. 😩 They were not service dogs and they were not particularly well behaved, constantly whining for food and blocking the sidewalk so people had to trip over them or step into the middle of the street to walk around them. But the establishment, the food, service and employees were great. Next time we will go inside if the outside is overrun with inconsiderate dog owners.“

“First time dining at Spigola's and it was terrific. Surprised to find a wonderful full service bar in a restaurant located among strip stores. Usually strip store restaurants are B.Y.O.B. Menu is quite varied and was accompanied by a special menu. My wife and I opted for entrees on the special menu which were superb. I love Halibut and it was prepared exquisitely. Dining experience deserved the five stars given. Our service was spot on.“

“We love the food here at Mercato. Always fresh and hot. The portions are big. Plan on having the leftovers for lunch. The flounder francaise is amazing. The fish is so fresh.
They have a selection of deserts. A must go to. This is a hidden gem!!“

“The owner Sal very pleasant , the food is great , I recommend it to anyone who enjoy good food , the service is great , no matter what time is , lunch or dinner .“

“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.“

“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.“

“Visited here for lunch with my children as we were passing through NJ on our way home from a holiday visit with family. Saw the great reviews and decided to try it out. We got Italian subs and pizza. The subs were absolutely delicious. Crisp, toasted bread, fresh meat and veggies, yummy sauce. We all loved them. And the pizzas were great too! We will make this a regular stop whenever passing through NJ again.“

“Great food & atmosphere. Love the spaghetti and crabs“

“This little restaurant has delicious Italian cuisine, and at reasonable price given the location. This place is the opposite of many venues in Princeton, where the emphasis is on atmosphere and exclusivity. The emphasis here is wonderful food and great service and it won’t break your bank account.“

“Smaller local Italian restaurant. The service was excellent considering how short handed they appeared to be. The garlic knots were unique and very good. Not an over powering of garlic. The pizza was great. Crust was light and airy. Loved the little air bubbles on it. Slight garlic taste in the sauce. Definitely recommended trying this spot.“

“Excellent service by Jason and awesome food“

“Food and service is great! Nice atmosphere and plenty of parking.“

“We ordered a tray of Chicken Parmigiana with vodka sauce for Christmas Eve dinner. It was absolutely amazing. We finished off with cannolis which were huge and so delicious! Romeo is the best, whatever you want, he will do!“

“Homey restaurant with fresh handmade pasta, you can choose the type of pasta and then the sauce, they have good desserts and a good cappuccino, the atmosphere is very nice and the service is very good, it is a good place to go with your family and partner“

“We went tonight with a group of friends and family! 5 stars is not enough! From the service to the amazing food, the atmosphere and the dessert! The owners are super friendly and I highly recommend this place. Thank you from the Luciano's and Boycos! We will certainly be returning to try many more menu options!“

“Nunzio’s is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was impeccable—warm, inviting, and full of charm. The customer service was in a league of its own; “amazing” doesn’t even begin to cover it. The staff was incredibly attentive, and their genuine kindness made me feel so welcome.

The owner himself, is the heart and soul of this place. He’s so humble, down-to-earth, and clearly pours love into every dish he prepares. You can truly taste the passion and care in the food—it was absolutely fantastic. Every bite left me wanting more, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

The prices are unbelievably reasonable for the quality of the food and the experience. Every dish I tried was worth every single penny, and I can only imagine the rest of the menu is just as outstanding.

This was the most amazing experience I’ve had in a long time, and I can’t recommend Nunzio’s enough to anyone in the area. Do yourself a favor and make this your next stop—you won’t regret it!“

North Brunswick, NJ. @leonestrattoria I got the Mozzarella in Carroza, House Salad, and Pan Seared Salmon served with a white wine, lemon, and Thyme sauce over Florentine Risotto. Everything was perfect! Not crowded on a week day for lunch,very close by and convenient for me.“

“Great Atmosphere! Service was amazing! Waitress was super nice and suggested good food! Ordered stuffed Ziti Fritta which was amazing appetizer, salad, chicken and Gnocchi soup were good, create your own pasta with rigatoni, chicken and five cheese sauce was also delicious. Stuffed chicken marsala that we ordered was average. Finally don’t forget the mint chocolate to finish it off. 😊“

“Great service, amazing cuisine!“

“The best tomato pie ever.“

“Food is always good, people are friendly the only problem I had is outside of this. Today when I paid I used my debit card instead of paying cash like I have every other time this was around 12:15pm today. The employee made a big deal about it being a NASA Card (my mom worked at Nasa & I have had an account there since 10th grade) By 1:30pm someone had attempted to use my card for a $1,339 AT&T purchase that was declined three times then used some Delta D account to charge $799.60 and unfortunately the second attempt work. I just came from the location and and all I had was smoke blown up my but. Either an employee or patron did something and they have a camera inside the store but was told the owner has the key. If the owner would just let me know when he will be there I will show up and we can handle this like gentlemen. I have been going to this place for over 5 years and work near by. For the record the card has been cancelled and NASA is tracking where charges are being attempted from. Paul“

“Great food and great staff“

“Excellent food! Friendly staff and prompt service“

“Enzo , his wife, Anna and their sister-in-law are the nicest people you would want to meet along with some really delicious pizzas. The pizza, as my cousin from South Carolina would say "is blazin' cuz" with a crispy thin crust, a delicious homemade sauce along with generous toppings. With each bite, you can taste every ingredient in and on the pizza. Nothing gets left on the plate with the crust being just as good. Also, try their meatball sandwiches which will surely fill you up and have you coming back week after week. Nothing says "New Jersey" like "Bella Napoli"! Try getting a taste of that in other states. HA!“

“Great food and excellent service“

“Excellent, food , Leonardo was great, thank you .“

“Thank you for hosting an amazing After Pass for my family and friends! The tables were set up beautifully as we arrived. The food came out in courses, hot and fresh. We are traditional Italian cooks by heritage, and we could not get over the incredible meatballs! They made the chicken piccata with just the right amount of lemon and capers. The last course was an assortment of Italian mini desserts that were scooped up in a matter of minutes!! The only complaint we had was the chef would not part with the meatball recipe. Thank you again JoAnne and Frank for a memorable ending to my mom's end of life celebration.“

“It’s a beautiful restaurant. Extremely affordable and the food was outstanding!!“

“delicious pizza was delivered perfectly on time. thanks for making our mothers day stress free!“

“I was searching online for good Italian to send to my family who were gathering for lunch before my favorite Aunt Harriets funeral. Trying to do this as a surprise for my family, I was calling from Colorado not knowing true reputations. I not only found good Italian, I found fantastic and authentic! Sal's genuine care for my phone order was beyond words. I ordered trays of eggplant rollatini, chicken parmesan, lasagna, fresh vegetables and garlic knots which was fresh, hot and delivered on time. Can't say THANK YOU enough for helping me feel present with my family when I couldn't actually be present. Someday during my travels back east, I'll find my way there and experience your cooking first hand. Thanks again Sal and keep doing (ministering in a way) what your doing. Diann R. Longmont, CO“

“Excellent pizza 🍕 and a abundance of choices to select from - new to the neighborhood and I think we found our new pizzeria“

“The food is exceptional, and the service is equally as impressive. I love the generous portion sizes at reasonable prices. I usually get the chicken Alfredo pasta or strombolis, both of which never disappoint. The pizza is consistently delicious, with a perfect balance of crunch and softness. Highly recommend!“

“The Pink Panther with hot cherry peppers was insane!!! Can’t get better service from nicer people anywhere.“

“It was Saturday evening the 11 of March . We ordered on line and went to pick it and they didn't get the order right away. They took care of the problem right away, got right on it and delivered it to our Condo. The food was hot and excellent. We will be back. I Highly Recommend Villa Borghese ll.“

“I have been a customer for over a decade. Maybe even two. Unpretentious place with outstanding food. They sneak in some great individual twists on various dishes while serving the usual hits.
I mostly get take out but have eaten in as well with great enjoyment.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options“

“There were 3 young men working when I arrived on Thursday to pick up lunch for my co-workers and I. They were all very nice and helpful as it was my first time there. One cooked our food, one rang me up and gave me menues for home and work, and one invited me back over the weekend for a charity event they were sponsoring. Kudos to all of you! I brought the sandwiches back to work, and everyone absolutely loved it! All of the food was so fresh and delicious! We even ordered again the next day! You guys made regular customers out of all of us! Thanks again!“

“The food here never fails to impress. It’s fresh, tasty, and expertly made. The staff are friendly, attentive, and work really hard to make your dining experience ( inside or takeout/delivery) an enjoyable one. We visit a couple of times a week!!“
