“We spent our 9th anniversary at Toscano's. Overall, we had an amazing experience. The food and staff were amazing. Our waiter offered to box up the rest of our food for us since we were stuffed after our appetizer/bread. However, we're a bit disappointed when we got home and noticed the bone from our porterhouse was not included in our box. It still had a ton of meat on it that we missed out on. We figured they would include it in our box. Next time, we will ask to box our own food or request this also be boxed up.“

“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 😋“

“Robert and his staff made my son's 35th Birthday Celebration very special. We had 30 people for dinner at Leonardo's on October 24, 2025, all of them were very pleased with the food, service and atmosphere for my sons 35th Birthday Celebration. Our menu consisted of Penne Marinara, Farfalle Vodka, Chicken Parmesan and a Caesar Salad. All would recommend Leonardo's when dining due to the taste and the service of the staff at Leonardo's. The pasta just melted in mouth and could taste the chesses, or the sauces on the pasta. There was more than enough food for all. The Caesar Salad was a blend of crisp, creamy, tangy and savory favors working together to achieve a satisfying balance. All in All the evening was perfect, and I will be coming back to Leonardo's for future celebrations.“

“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.“

“Wow! What a perfect meal for my Italian friend and I. Service was excellent and the food was absolutely delicious! We got the Broccoli Rabe Sausage app and the Mussels and Clams Fra Diablo. She got a pan fried Soft Crab special and I got my favorite Eggplant Parmesan. We took dessert home but are too full to eat it. Highly recommend! Great vibes inside and BYOB.“

“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,“

“Call ahead or dine in. Either is preferred.“

“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.“

“Great pizza and fast delivery! Shout out to Brodie.“

“Celebrated my wife's birthday last weekend. Food was delicious, service was excellent...we will be back!!“

“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! 👏🏽“

“I was up by Trenton for a dentist appt and went to get my lab work up there instead of by my house as I had time. I stopped by D&C as it looked interesting and I was hungry af. I drooled over much of the store (and enjoyed a sample!) before I settled on a peanut butter bomb. It took me 2 weeks to finish it, it was that rich. But OMG was it delicious. I somehow didn't lick the wrapper it was in, but it was by far the best dessert I have had in many years. I am sad this isn't close to me, but then again, probably for the best as everything there looked amazing! The line was long and everyone anxious to have lunch. I would definitely recommend! Part of the reason for my review is that I can search back and recall the name...if I am ever in the area...or in the mood for a road trip!❤️“

“Went to the restaurant for an anniversary dinner with my husband due to a few recommendations to come here. Rob was our waiter and was absolutely fantastic. Attentive and helpful every step of the way making the night fantastic. The food was 10/10. We had the special slab bacon, a Caesar salad, and each tried the eggplant and chicken parm substituted with the spicy vodka rigatoni. We finished the night with the 7-layer cookie. Overall, everything was truly delicious and Rob’s service was impeccable. Will 100% be returning to try more foods in the future.“

“We came up from North Carolina to visit family and couldn’t wait to get some real New Jersey pizza — Anthony’s in New Egypt absolutely hit the spot. The pizza was amazing: crispy crust, perfect cheese, and that classic NJ flavor we’ve been missing. Great place, friendly staff, and awesome food. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!“
