Italian Restaurants near Crosswicks

“Pizza and chicken wings were really good. The tiramisu however was not that great.. Not sure if this is how it should be, but we have had better ones from other restaurants. We had a take-out , don't know if that was why the dessert was not great. Will definitely try this place again soon and check out other items on their menu.“

“I ordered the ribs special and oysters as well as the chocolate dessert. The ribs were blended with some kind of sauce over the pasta. The pasta was perfect and I eat a lot of pasta! The oysters were on a large plate with ice and three sauces which were amazing. If I had known how good the oysters were I would have ordered 24 of them, but I only had 6. As it was the main dish was quite a lot but not too much to skip the dessert which was perfect chocolate mousse with some whipped topping. Honestly the specials were great so I wouldn't limit myself to what the menu is offering.“

“Went for a bite for dinner. Caesar made a special appetizer pizza at our request. Wonderful thin crust, EVO, pesto, fresh mozzarella and balsamic glaze. Wonderful BYOB family restaurant! Ceasar and his family are very accommodating and serve a terrific meal! I have all three meals breakfast, lunch and a dinner with all being delicious.“

“I was visiting the area and decided to stop here based on the reviews that I read. It did not disappoint. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. We ordered the calamari and a meatlover's pizza. There was also complimentary bread and dipping oil. The atmosphere was really nice; however, the tables are really close together. I“

“Thank you and your team for the incredible experience our birthday girl and guests experienced. From start to finish Devon and Alyssa were amazing. The appetizers and entrees were spectacular. We were so pleased with the exemplary service of all your staff. The event planner Christina listened to every detail I requested and the experience was flawless. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with the entire staff.“

“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.“

“This seems to be the place for fine dining in the area and is deservedly is so. Elegant though relaxed Italian restaurant, one of three by this owner in the area. This an upscale experience from the moment you end. The staff are warm, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. They offer great suggestions from the impressive menu. They know their wine pairing as well. The prices are quite fair for a place of this caliber. We ordered their famous 16 ounce bone in filet mignon, it was amazing. Everything here was great.The place was bustling even on a weeknight. It would fit any occasion to friend gathering to romantic dinners! Parking is on the street and was easy to find. Reservations are best. The bar is impressive.“

“It was a great evening in the Piano Lounge. We celebrated a family member's birthday. As has been our experience, the service was outstanding. Don't be intimidated by the menu. Order as much or as little as you want. Ask for recommendations or suggestions. The wait staff have great insight and made for an outstanding experience.“

“Staying on town for work and decided to check this place out for dinner . Place is kept spotless very clean and fresh. Had a Veal parmeson with angel hair pasta and a salad. Walked back to the hotel in the cold rain and food was still piping hot when I got there . I will definitely eat there more when I'm in town food was excellent. Prise was fair definitely get your money's worth.“

“Featured on Diners ,DriveIns, and Dives with Guy Fieri, and for good reason. Prepared foods, or sandwiches absolutely phenomenal. Not a bad thing served, from the deserts, to the breads, to the sandwiches, and of course the Italian hot foods. Definitely a destination place.“

“We were a party of three, with two having significant food allergies. The staff was highly tuned to our dietary needs. Portion sizes were amazing, much more than we anticipated. The food was excellent and the staff attentive, and very helpful in making GF recommendations. We had two staff members come over to ensure our dietary needs were accommodated.What a tremendous restaurant.Dietary restrictions: There is a GF menu with numerous options and the chef can ensure other menu options are GF.“

Parking is a bit difficult but you can park behind the church which is 2 doors down not a far walk at all!Parking: There is parking behind the churchKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly if you have well-behaved kidsWheelchair accessibility: A bit tight but it is accessible“

“Now this could be due to the fact that I broke my diet, or it could be the high-quality of the food, but I’ll let you decide on your own. When I ate this slice Of General TSO’s chicken, I was transported to an entirely new plane of existence of flavor that is only known in legends of olde…I may just never be the same again.“

“My husband and I got married here on 11/11/23. From our first visit touring the venue, to the night of our wedding, everything was PERFECT, seamless, easy. Joelynn and Trish were there for us every step of the way, answering my many questions and providing their professional opinions on things. The night before our wedding (at our rehearsal), we made the decision to move the ceremony indoors due to the colder temperatures, and within minutes there were people everywhere moving chairs and making sure theindoor space was just as beautiful as their outdoor patios. Their staff does everything for you: setup, cleanup, box up all decorations for us to pick up the next day, and everyone is so polite and nice. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you for making our wedding an unforgettable day! ?“

“I usually go to tomato pies every 2 months. The store is all the way from 1912! More than a century ago! Which makes me feel like i'm in a vintage store. Outside, there is a 2 doors in the front. There is a door for dine-in and another door for order to go or pick up. I personally haven't done dine-in but I always go for to go or pick up. Whenever I go, the staff is always so sweet and are always accurate for the time left. The only thing I dislikd is the time if takes to make the pizza. The pizza was delicious and stayed pretty warm when handed to me.“

“Love Marcelo’s, we come a lot for the Brooklyn sausage pie. This time got pasta and apps as well and it was all great. The vodka rig was really good. Michael was our server and I mentioned to my finance that he is a great waiter and those are very few and far between these days. We’ll be back soon“

“We went there with another couple who had raved about. Lived up to the billing. It looks like an old school restaurant that you'd find 30 plus years ago. They were extremely accommodating for gluten free items. There was literally not a bad bite of food. I was so focused on savoring every bite that I missed out on taking a photo of anything. I can't wait to take my other family members with gf restrictions who can finally enjoy really great Italian food.“

“My Wife & I were introduced totheir (our neighbor's)favorite Italian style eatery.It is 25 miles from their home, &they frequent it every week forlunch.We arrived hungry for dinner.Our waiter, Juan, was known toour neighbors. He was veryengaging, & professional providingexcellent customer service.I noted there was Broccoli Rabelisted on the menu. It's my favoritesauteed vegetable. I ordered itwith oil, garlic, & angel hair pasta.I had not experienced the way theBroccoli Rabe was prepared, cutwith short stems & blossoms.I only eat half of the served portion,having had delicious pasta e figulo soup prior. The uneaten portion ofpasta was brought home.?Our party of four all enjoyed theirmisc. meal entries and the friendliness of our server, Mr. Juan.We shell return for sure.Mr. Charlie“

“I’ve tried most of the highest reviewed pizza spots in Jersey (besides Deluca’s) and Dilorenzos is still at the top of my list. Their regular pie is phenomenal but if you like sausage & peppers on your pie, you’re in for a treat. Every so often, we’ll drive over an hour just to go here, well worth the trip!“

“I went in today for lunch with a good friend who is fighting cancer and haven't seen in a long time. Her stomache is very fickle and she did amazingly well with the food. It's definitely leaning towards fine dining. Linen table cloths, linen knapkins, polished silverware, white glove service without the gloves. Our sever observed us without being intrusive. He only served the next dished when we stopped eating the first one. If you're accustomed to being entertained by your server, this is not for you. If you value uninterrupted time spent with your guest while still not being neglected, this is for you. I actually like it when the server is vigilant but not overbearing. I want to enjoy the food, take in the atmosphere and speak with my friend, and our server allowed us to just be present. We never had to ask for anything. It was brought out at the right time, our needs were anticipated and we were greeted by Chef Jason, who greeted every table. I recommend the truffle oil fries, beet salad and hand held chicken pesto. The presentation of all three dishes was beautiful. Thank you so much. It was a really good experience.“

“As many have said, the appearance of the restaurant does not reflect the quality of the food. I ordered the "True Italian" sub and was not disappointed. The (unexpected) mild toasting of the roll gave a little crunch that really added to the sandwich. Owner is nice and a good conversationalist. Will visit again for sure if I get back to the area.“

“I’ve eaten at Amari’s twice and plan to go back at least monthly because the food is scrumptious and very reasonably priced. The service is excellent as well; welcoming, friendly, professional and efficient. I highly recommend the caprese salad (I ask for tomatoes to be removed and prosciutto to be added), chicken soup and the pasta dishes.“

“Planned my daughter’s baby shower from Florida with Sam and it turned out better than we could have imagined. Sam was so prompt with returning calls/emails and gave me suggestions to best accommodate the party from planning from afar. Being my family and a lot of friends are Italian, they are choosy with food and Villa Maria exceeded our expectations. The service staff couldn’t be any more attentive and courteous than they were. Being a lifetime Hamiltonian, Villa Maria was high on the list of venue choices when we began planning this event and having confidence that all would be as wanted , My daughter and son-in-law couldn’t have had a better venue than Villa Maria. Thank you again Sam for your professionalism and personal touch.Michele Rossi“

“This place is like a family kitchen they love you so much the food is so amazing you feel right at home I wish I could eat there everyday just to sit by their side and talk to them it's really a family pizza shop restaurant atmosphere love this “

“We've ordered from here about four times. The food is plentiful, hot and delisioso!! Gave them a pass twice for timeliness of delivery, but well worth the wait. It's now our new 'go to' place after a neighborhood favorite retired and sold their spot and another fav spot moved. Smack your lips GREAT FOOD and standard with plenty of leftovers! Get you some...and some more!“

“Best Italian restaurant I’ve ever had and immaculate service! I called ahead as they were getting close to closing time and they said come on in with no hesitation. They were beyond accommodating and the service was insanely fast. The bread and homemade tomato sauce that’s brought out is delicious and set the tone. I ordered the pasta alla vodka and my son ordered the gnocchi with Alfredo. Both came with a choice of soup or salad and the soup of the day was potato and bacon… to die for! The puffy garlic bread was also great! Both main dishes were fantastic and massive portion sizes. For dessert, the tiramisu and the lava cake were (again) amazing. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. We were visiting from New Hampshire and I wish I could transplant this place to my town! Thank you for an amazing experience“

“The Best Pizza And All The Food Is A+ ?. The Place Is Always Busy. ICome From Hamilton 2 Ewing Just 2 Get Me A Cheese steak And A Couple Slices. Remind Me Of The Boadwalk Pizza @ Seaside.The Staff R ?. 1 Mo Thing, U Better Order B4 U GO There! OK I'm Out! ??“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent service and the food is well worth a visit, and the positive energy you feel is a happy homecoming.(Original)Excelente servicio y la comida pues riquisima vale mucho la pena visitar lleva feliz a casa uno la energía positiva se siente.“

“We haven't been here since before Covid, so we were eager to see how they were doing. The answer is great! Attentive service, great food. We had several pizzas and my son had spaghetti and meatballs. Food came out quickly. It was a Friday, and they had someone there playing guitar music. It really is a nice little place, full of atmosphere, and attentive staff. We'd definitely come back.“

“Absolutely superb Old Fashion (Trenton Style) Tomato Pie!! Crisp, full of flavor crust with zero "flop"! Chunks of tomatoes in a semi-sweet, yet bold sauce, went perfectly with the correct amount of cheese! Worth the 40-minute drive, Salerno's Pizza is definitely within my top five places to get a tomato pie!“

“Love their pizza! ?Owner is Always polite So is HelenHowever their was a young counter worker female w long curly hair and I told her that she SHOULD NOT be constantly twirling and playing with her hair!!! I actually said sumthing to her and she said that she doesn't directly handle the food. I said U handed me my slice to eat in. Yr hair could have fallen on yr sweater and then unto my pizza on the plate...NOT GOOD!!Tie Yr hair back and Please STOP playing w it!!!“

“1st time ordering a pizza from here and I could kiss the chef. I ordered the special, a large pie with one free topping and you can pay for more toppings if you want and I got pepperoni and fresh garlic, it also came with a 2 litter bottle of soda, I got Barqs root beer which happens to be my favorite root beer. This pizza was so freaking good. They managed to keep the crust crunchy and airy and the bottom firm while having more sauce then most pizzas and the cheese and toppings nicely baked. My friend told me the pepperoni is all beef, and it was DELICIOUS! The pizza had substance while not being sloppy where everything slides off and that takes talent. Washing it down with cold Barqs rootbeer was an added bonus. Just look at the pictures, it's a beautiful pie!“

“Ordered their large plain pie 12 pc wings and 2 liter soda special pretty decent price for the amount of food. The pizza is a pretty decent size had a good amount of sauce and cheese, dough was a little soft so I’d prob ask for a well done pie but the taste and fluffiness are there. The Mild wings are some of the best I’ve had in the arena, sauce was a perfect balance of a little sweet and a bold kick that paired well with the crispy wing. Can see why this continues to be a staple in Trenton.“

“I was in my hotel room and I thought out loud: Hmm a pizza right now would be great. I asked to Google and I saw I was close to Anthony's Pizza.Ok, let's go there order a pizza. I confess it was fun to me, ordering a pizza in PA. It's because I left São Paulo, Brazil few days ago. São Paulo is considered the "Pizza land" outside of Italy.When I smelled the "pizza perfume"... OMG! ? When I eat the first slice... Oh boy, the pizza there is pretty good! I'm in São Paulo right now missing the pizza in this place.The customer service is very good. Good staff that prepared my delicious pizza.Thanks guys, and congrats for the good pizza and customer service.“

“This place is amazing and has the best pizza and pasta I’ve ever had. They have different toppings for pizza, and I love the one with the penne on top of the pizza cheese and sauce. It has that zesty bite to it with a bit of spice I can only put it as. The baked ziti is so good! It was sweet, saucy, and cheese filled goodness. Prices are good as well! Service is so nice and understanding. Definitely a place to go too!“

“Mannino’s is the best, My family is so thrilled we came across them. They have the best Grandma pie. Yesterday we ordered a sausage , onion and roasted pepper pie, it was amazing. This is the best pizzeria in the area. I didn’t think anyone here could make a fantastic pie, but they did. This will definitely be our go to place, no others in the area come close. Keep maki g your delicious food“

“Leonardo's consistently surpasses our expectations, not only with their regular offerings but also with their special events tailored to our group. Robert and Magdalena's dedication shines through in the delicious food and warm, homey atmosphere they create, making every visit an unforgettable experience.“

“I am a big fan of this place for probably the last 15 years not only because they make great pizza and I am a New Yorker but they have specials that they have kept consistent for Price even in this inflation economy which deserves some appreciation and loyalty. Two slices not just plain but anything they have on the counter and a drink for $5 and on Sundays a large plain pie for $10 cannot beat that deal please patronize them“

“I ordered from here for the first time & the food was delicious… I ordered the chicken parmigiana.. it was enough food to feed my husband & myself… I had the food delivered & was told 45 mins.. the food was here before that.. the delivery guy was nice.. I will order from them again“

“Nicely decorated, good service and delicious food. Decent size portions as well. I enjoyed a chicken and sausage risotto and also tasted the chicken marsalla. Both were very good, but there wasn't much marsalla flavor in the sauce. The prices were slightly on the high side, but not awful. I would have felt better about that if they included a house Salad with the entrée instead of everything Ala carte. BYOB also. Overall, I recommend this restaurant.“

“Quiet and cozy atmosphere even with their usual full house. I've ordered from here countless times over the years and I have never been disappointed. Browns Mills can be hit or miss with pizza so I drive a little out of my way and it's well worthe it. They have a lot of specialty pizza's to choose from and they are all fantastic. We've had a few of their specials that aren't always on the menu like chicken cordon Bleu and it was delicious! That Sauce was definitely made fresh from scratch and was made traditionally which most restaurants can't execute. Impressive. Very Clean and the prices are fair. Anything you order from here, you will love for sure!“
