“Came here for lunch. Relatively quiet bc it was lunchtime on a Wednesday. Waitress was friendly. I ordered the cauliflower pizza with broccoli. I dont know how they do it but the cauliflower crust tasted like a regular pizza crust. Delicious! Typically priced like all other restaurants. I did like that the menu offered half sizes for lunch and full sizes for dinner. We live in NY, the food was just as good as Staten Island Italian restaurant food. Will def come back to try for dinner.“

“I was visiting New Jersey from Miami Florida and I’m so glad i found this little Italian spot. The quality of food is incredible and worth the drive and price. Big portions and packed with flavor. It’s a hidden gem that only locals know about but I did some digging and I’m so glad i found it. The server was funny and down to earth her name was 10/10“

“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 wanted to try a new place and came across this restaurant, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best we've ever been to. Everything was just perfect from start to finish. The host was super welcoming and seated us at a really cozy spot. Our server was great, really friendly and knew the menu inside out, which helped since we were asking a lot of questions. The food came out fresh, hot, and beautifully presented. We had the fish special and the filet mignon for our entrées both were absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. After dinner, we moved to the bar for a couple of after-dinner cocktails, and they were honestly some of the best we've had. The whole experience the atmosphere, the service, the food was just spot on. We'll definitely be coming back here again soon!“

“Excellent service by Jason and awesome food“

“Stopped for lunch with hubs and friends. We we're looking to share a pizza, this is NOT that place. Yes, personal size for dine in. We opted for sandwiches. 2 ordered the roast pork, broccoli rabe, sharp provolone and both finished and raved how delicious 😋 Other 2 of us ordered the cheesesteak with LTO, red wine vinegar and olive oil, I added light mayo. The rolls these sandwiches were served were fantastic 😋 The sammies were NOT "packed" with fillings like a cheesesteak joint. Nicely presented with homemade potato chips. Quality of ingredients is huge because I can't eat a lot. The red wine vinegar and olive oil was top notch. I use red wine vinegar almost daily 😋 I would definitely go back for the same meal, about 1hr from my home and worth the trip 😋“

“I write reviews when it matters and only to help others. This place stands out on so many levels, but for me, service is everything and thanks to Gina it was beyond exceptional. The food, amazing and authentic. Can't wait to make this place a regular spot.“

“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!“

“We came up from Virginia for a wedding. Staying at the Hilton in Allentown. They had no food service. I didn't want food chain. So I looked up Italian and Found this restaurant. We took the drive and were glad we did. Had A large pepperoni pizza. Thin crust flavor was just what we wanted. Was the Best pizza I had in a while. You can't beat NJ pizza. This place is worth the drive. I'm originally from NJ and the pizza in Virginia is not like here.“

“We recently hosted a Sweet 16 party here, and it couldn’t have been a better experience! From the very beginning, Francesca (the owner and chef) made everything so easy. She personally helped us plan the menu and was so accommodating with all of our requests — it really took the stress out of planning.

The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was fresh and full of flavor, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing everything was.

The staff was just as wonderful. Everyone was polite, attentive, and genuinely kind. Our party ended up going past the restaurant’s closing time, but the team was so patient and gracious, never making us feel rushed.

We’re so grateful to Francesca and her staff for helping make this celebration so special. I’d highly recommend this restaurant to anyone — whether you’re planning an event or just going out for a great meal. Our family will definitely be back soon!“

“Best food I've ever eaten. The atmosphere is wonderful.“

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

“Had family birthday dinner and as usual a world class meal. Fabulous veal dish, penne vodka among other dishes! Calamari appetizer and meatball appetizer! I highly recommend Albivi!! World class food and matching service!!“

“This deli is almost hidden in a big plaza. It is a small spot but the food is delicious. The chicken parm with vodka sauce was good. The true test of a sandwich is the bread and the bread is the star of the show here. The pasta salad with grilled chicken was delicious as well. It had a vinegary dressing that worked. I would recommend you try if you are in the area.“

“I love the food at Lola's its fantastic! The service is great! I highly recommend ?“

“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. 😊“

“Good food in a friendly atmosphere!“

“Great food and great staff“

“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“

“Fantastic pizza and VERY friendly staff. Definitely recommend trying their pizza! You will not be disappointed !!!!!“

“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!“

“Food is amazing! Great staff, great service, and prices inline. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“Wonderful, Wonderful & Wonderful!“

“Jaspers was the best food I have ever eaten. The steaks,gf pasta,veggies and potatoes were to die for. The atmosphere is just beautiful. The trees they have in there are gorgeous. The waitress was incredible and so sweet they work as a team. I wouldn't highly recommend 10 out of 10. Thank you for a wonderful night last night“

“Went with friends after Six Flags closed for the night, and even as they were an hour from closing, the staff welcomed us in so warmly and the service was incredibly speedy! Portions were huge and affordable. If you’re going to Six Flags, or ever in the area, give this place a visit!“

“Mr. Subs was recommended to me by many people and ever since I tried their subs I wouldn’t go anywhere else to get a sandwich. High quality service and preparation, the workers are personable and very friendly. Never fails to exceed expectations. Definitely recommend.“

“Thank you Dolce & Clemente who catered one of two Thanksgiving celebrations! Joe and Bella worked magic to help me create the most delicious menu—one that skipped the traditional dishes but still felt festive and perfect for the occasion. They not only delivered a meal that wowed everyone, but they also kept me from completely losing my mind while planning. I didn’t take enough food photos to do it justice., but trust me, it was unforgettable. The food got rave reviews all around. My 7-year-old great-niece inhaled three mac & cheese bites and made sure to take a fourth home. Meanwhile, my nephew—who doesn’t like pork (except bacon)—commented how great the “turkey” was... only to learn he’d gone back for seconds on a pork loin in garlic, white wine glaze! Dolce & Clemente nailed it from start to finish. If you’re considering catering for a big event, look no further. Thank you to Joe, Bella, and for making this celebration such a success! #dolceandclemente Dolce and Clemente's Italian Gourmet Market“

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

“Today was a cheat day for me to enjoy carbs. I am traveling so i did a quick search for an Italian/pizza place near me, and found this pizzeria. So glad i did.. the meatballs melted in your mouth with a delicious sauce accompanying. Our table also enjoyed a meat calzone, gnocchi and a rice ball ( all freakin delicious!!). Our server was spot on, friendly and attentive to our experience. It doesnt get any better than this. 5 stars. Highly recommend“

“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.“

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

“OMG. I tried Phil’s MULTIPLE times over the years and was so disappointed. My BF stopped on Thursday and brought me the most AMAZING PUPUSAS 🤤. And MAGICAL PLANTAIN EMPANADAS. I would have never tried it because I really didn’t like one thing any of the times I went before. I will DEFINITELY be going back. A LOT. This is a good and bad thing. Did I mention PUPUSAS??????!“
