“Been there for lunchs dinners and just drinks. great family place. friendly staff. amazing food. ordered a few trays for christmas eve. was like made at home.“

“I ordered a large pizza with sausage. It was tasty, the kind of pizza you crave after a day of working on stuff that makes your kitchen not usable. The only drawback was the crust was a little lacking in texture and depth of flavor, a bit stiff and airy rather than that perfect mix of crispy outside, chewy inside with a well developed flavor.“

“Great people great delivery drive very friendly great food 🥳“

“The pizza were good. They were coal fired. You could actually taste the coal pieces in your food and mouth.

Other than that, pasta Alfredo had such amazing flavor. The pizza tastes great.
They have beer and wine available.
I’m sure this place will be a whole different vibe, more cool sports bar feel on a game night.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome and it’s kids and family friendly.“

“Owner should learn how to treat customers We were a party of four and we arrived on time for a 7:45 reservation. When we arrived there were many people waiting to be seated. We were told that the wait would only be 10 - 15 minutes. Fifteen minutes later we were told that the wait would be an additional 10 - 15 minutes. A half hour later my wife was told that the wait would only be another 10 - 15 minutes. After 45 minutes I requested to speak with the owner and I was told that I was speaking with the owner (at that point there was only one other group waiting to be seated). They informed me that a group of six with an 8:00 reservation was just seated. I said that it was not fair to make us wait 45 minutes since we did have a reservation and the people with a later reservation were just seated. I said that I may have something to say about it after the meal. The reply was "if you have something to say, say it now"! I replied that I would reserve my thoughts until after the meal. How insulting, imagine waiting over 45 minutes and then being told if I had anything to say I shouldn't wait till after my dinner, that I should say it now. I replied that I would wait till after the meal before I had any additional comments. With that we were refused service and we were told to leave. I am a 75 year old retired veteran and in my life I was never treated in this manner. When we grew up we had more respect for others. This is not how customers should be treated.“

“Our favorite date night spot!! From the moment you enter- elegant atmosphere, warm faces and nice music set the tone for a wonderful night. Anthony the owner makes you feel like you’re the only diners there- making sure you’re enjoying yourself, getting your food in a timely manner and making it special. He is such a kind generous man. The servers Faith, Carson, and JoJo are absolutely incredible- they are knowledgeable about the food, friendly, and their work ethic is incredible for such young people. They truly made our night special! The food is the star- best rice balls we’ve ever had!! We have been dreaming of them ever since! The homemade burrata, meatballs and eggplant were also just amazing. We had the homemade gnocchi and chicken scarpiello- again the best we’ve ever had We are locals and try to get here as often as we can for date night- and we are always so amazed how it continues to be just 5 star every time. It’s a special, special place and we are lucky to have such a gem in our small town. Thank you Anthony & Heather!“

“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!“

“Had a Family Birthday Celebration Awesome definitely go back!!“

“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.

“Every time I mention the Olive Garden, my Italian friends look at me funny and laugh but I swear the food is pretty good.
Yeah it may not be authentically Italian, but the food on their menu like the crisp and not chewy calamari, the creamy chicken Alfredo & shrimp Alfredo and even the spaghetti with eggplant is always on point. Every time either myself my wife or my teenage daughter orders from the menu we are quite happy.
Tonight our server Jaylen was awesome. She brought us our drinks, appetizers and main course pretty quick. She was very friendly, polite, and extremely helpful which is what every diner experience should be when you go out to eat.“

“Very good food. God service .“

“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.“

“This place is the best! The Branzino is so delicious and the service is always on point.“

“Since moving to New Jersey, Mezza Luna is the only Pizza that my youngest son will eat. Not only is their pizza amazing but their dinner dishes and everything else on the menu is just as tasty. I look forward to when I order from Mezza Luna because I know we will be having a delicious dinner. They are generous size portions, and the quality and taste are excellent. The customer service is amazing. And the delivery is always faster than what they tell you which is so nice. the owners are wonderful and generous people. They are active in the community. I recommend that everyone eat here or order from here with their really fast delivery, the food always comes hot. I love Mezza Luna and I will continue to be a loyal customer.“

“great pizza and welcoming“

“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!“
