“Casual Italian deli that offers hot and cold wraps, sandwiches, paninis, subs and Italian specialties. Food is delicious! Staff is kind and accommodates all preferences. They got our orders completely correct. I love this place! Prices are good too. Go to for my significant other as well, who is in the area more often than myself. There are a couple iron tables and chairs towards the back of the store if you want to eat in. We usually take out.“
“I came in very close to closing time, and they still provided excellent service, despite having a long day.The pizza was still fresh and amazing, despite being close to close. The staff was very friendly.Thanks guys, for the great service!Parking: The parking lot is connected to the 7-eleven's parking lot. Easy to park.“
“My wife and I had Sunday lunch here with a dear friend. It was our first time at this establishment, and we were not disappointed. From the moment the valet Alejandro parked our car, to the warm ambience, to the top-notch service provided by David, to the generous portions of absolutely delicious food, to the great bottle of Montepulciano, to the decadent desserts, we had a wonderful experience that just continued to get better and better as the meal progressed. My wife and I remarked several times that if we lived closer to this area, we would be eating here constantly! Highly recommended!“
“Walked in, didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised. The interiors felt like a high-end restaurant, and the food kept up with it!The covered outdoor space was comfy and classy, with beautiful green art on the walls. The flavors, taste, and texture were really top-notch Italian food I've had. Highly recommended.“
“Very nice place, very easy going, the owner puts you at ease straight away, and it's like having dinner at a friends house, I recommend it to everyone because the food is very good. The quality of the food is high.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“The food at Carrabas is delicious and extremely comforting!The chicken soup always hits the spot and you can never go wrong with getting the Rigatoni Martino or the Chicken MarsalaThe staff is always super friendly and always accommodating for our food allergies! Thank you for always being one of our go to spots!Dietary restrictions: Gluten allergy and nut allergy“
“The food was very good and the service was great. Love the mini sherbet they brought after the appetizers. The food portions were a nice size. After dinner, they brought us limoncello on the house.The only thing I did not like was that I felt like I was in a wedding hall and not a restaurant.I will be back because I loved what we ate and how the owners were very attentive as well as the waiters.“
“First time visit to this restaurant. Our server Alina was exceptional - made great recommendations. The service was on point. The staff is very efficient. I loved my drink "Pineapple Jalapeno Mockarita". The crab cake, the best we have ever had - no fillers, just fresh crab meat. It's even better than the ones you get in Alaska. Other dishes we ordered including Branzino, Halibut were delicious as well. Portions are big. Next time, we are going to try the salads, we have heard they are great. Memorable experience. Would love to go back.“
“First time bringing my baby to a nice restaurant and not only was the table set up with high chair but there was a lot of space for the stroller. they were very accommodating. great service! My baby loved the bread! My family was very happy with the food.“
“I don’t usually write reviews but this place was too good not to show appreciation for!Amazing service!The atmosphere was a welcoming small Italian kitchen feel with a dining room with warm lighting! They also have a nice back patio if you prefer to sit outside.I ordered a a Classic Caesar Salad with the 8oz strip steak on top. The salad was so flavorful and one of the best I’ve had in a long time! The steak was cooked medium rare and cooked to perfection!I will definitely be returning!Absolutely delicious!“
“We took my mom for her 82nd birthday last night. I can't say enough about this restaurant. The food is beyond amazing. Real authentic homeade Italian food you don't find at too many places. The Chef/Owner came out to say hello and meet us. Such a nice and humble guy. The manager and waitress couldn't be nicer. I highly recommend this delicious restaurant. You WILL NOT be disappointed. The BEST around!!!!!!“
“ordered a large cobb salad. it was so delicious. they gave so much chicken and the greens were so fresh. I used to be a steady customer of highland park pizza but they went out of business and I was upset because I have health issues and need meals delivered to me. Tried Francesco and they will have me as a steady customer now. so happy I found this place. give them a shot you wont be sorry.“
“I dined here last night with friends, and it was a 10/10 experience! Everything we ate was delicious, but I cannot stop talking about the ravioli, the homemade cookies, and the steak! The wine was delicious and their selection is endless. The service was some of the best I have ever experienced. Our server was very attentive and we never felt rushed. I cannot wait to go back!“
“Recommended to us, which we are glad for - as we would have never walked in on our own. Visited for a late lunch. The entire menu is dynamic and unique. The portion sizes are small by NY standards but were how we really should eat - reminiscent of how it is in Italy.The 17yr old waitress we had was extremely professional, attentive & overall very pleasant.The thing I would comment on is the ambiance (think ice cream shop (way too bright) lighting and diner type furnishings) does not match the high quality of their food.We had one glass of wine, a soda, beef carpaccio appetizer, truffle gnocchi & osso bucco, one dessert & a cup of tea. $160 after tip.Would return to try other entrees for the delicious food & great service. Just not as a romantic dinner or celebration, solely because of the lighting & decor.“
“I love love LOVE this place. The owners are two old school Sicilians that reminded me of my Nonna and Nonno growing up, and the pizza was phenomenal! I also got their manicotti, and the sauce they make is exquisite. I'd absolutely recommend them, without question.“
“This place was very reasonably priced, an unexpected surprise for the atmosphere. The salad seemed a little small, but everything else was incredible. Fresh hot bread, and probably the best Chicken Francese I've ever had... I highly recommend this place for an amazing meal, with friendly and attentive service in a white tablecloth elegant atmosphere!“
“La Lupa consistently provides an excellent culinary experience. We love their take on nouveau Italian cuisine and the use of outstanding local or Italian imported products is first rate. It is a small restaurant and difficult to get a reservation so be persistent it is worth it. Also be prepared for a vibrant pulse --they enjoy their techno beat which will sometime overwhelm your ability to converse.“
“Great pizza with great service! The garlic knots are delicious- must buy! Tons of huge garlic pieces! I got half plain and half green peppers, and definitely the freshest green peppers I've had on a pizza ever. I haven't been here in years but went because they were supporting a fundraiser for the local animal shelter- another reason to come here! Definitely will be back soon!“
“I ordered stuffed pepperoni garlic knots w/ vodka sauce and a grilled chicken Cesar salad wrap, did not disappoint!!! Food was great and delivered rather quickly. The few times I called for take out, they are always so nice over the phone, as well as the delivery drivers. Thank you Italian Touch for good dinners :)“
“I attended a friend's baby shower here about 6 months ago. Based on the food at the shower, I had been meaning to come back here for dinner. I came with my family this past weekend for Easter, and it was fantastic. Bill was our server. The service, the drinks, and the meal from beginning to end exceeded our expectations. You have found yourself some new regulars. Thank you for a wonderful family evening out.“
“The place is cute and well-decorated. We waited over 45 minutes after ordering for our food, and then the order was incorrect, so had to wait a bit longer for my full meal. Then waited a long time for the check, etc. Ended up spending about 2.5 hrs in there. I appreciated not being rushed, but I went in there extremely hungry and I am a busy medical student, so I did not anticipate spending so long in there.I will say, our server, Caesar, was stellar! very kind, charismatic, and helpful. Chatty when we wanted to chat, and left us alone when that time came, too. Great server.I forgot to take a photo of my food because I was soooooo hungry when I finally got it! Food was delicious and portion sizes were large.“
“My boyfriend and I have been going to verdes for about 6 months now and they do not disappoint! Their food is delicious, they strive to perfect their recipes and it shows! We just enjoyed their Christmas catering due to our situation not allowing me to cook my usual set up; and oh my was it worth it! The staff are great people as well. Highly recommend this place!“
“Delicious food my family goes here for holidays or birthdays because the food is so delicious, it's bit upscale and byob. My absolute favorite is the rack of lamb with the mint honey sauce. The seafood risotto and grouper with artichoke hearts are also favorites. My son is a very picky eater but swears they have the best penne vodka he's ever had.“
“Heard NJ had some good Italian delis so was in the search for one nearby this weekend and it was a pretty good find. Very homey vibes as soon as you walk in. Staff was friendly. We were the only ones there upon arrival, less than an hour before closing on a Saturday afternoon but shortly after they had a mini rush and some locals picking up a catering order. We ordered a half and full but the half was a decent size so don't be fooled. Two sandwiches, a lasagna roll up and two bevs was about $31 total, I would say pretty affordable. I would return and maybe create my own. The Italian was delicious, def recommend. I got the Chicken Avocado BLT, tasty but not sure I like the fried avocado. Some fresh avocado, cheese and maybe a pesto would've knocked it out the park for me! They also have some frozen items you can take home. Good start to my search for an Italian deli.“
“My experience tonight has reclaimed my love for Nola pizza. I’ve never questioned how amazing the pizza was, it was more when they first opened the wait was outrageously long and often was not ready after the two and a half hour wait. It was because of that I haven’t been back until tonight. Expecting the wait would still be long for a Sunday, called around 5:30 and given a pickup time of 6:45, significantly improved! My order was JUST taken out of the oven when I walked in at 6:45 and to no surprise, the pizza was divine. Got the Diavolo with vodka instead of spicy and it was just perfection. I can’t wait to be back, just need to be mindful of when I want to eat and when to order.“
“The best tacos!! Keep it up always and you will never lack customers!! The delicious tacos al pastor and enchilada not to mention with their fresh and finely chopped onion their fresh cilantro the super fresh cucumbers, radishes, lemons that's how it should be! Just a little less fat but they are “
“What is not to like about this place?Warning: if you have a shopping list or have an idea of what you are planning to buy, try to stick with it. Otherwise, you will end up buying much more ?Their meatballs are so good that they don't last more than a day.Their sandwiches are great as well and with one you even have enough for 2 meals.The only item that is not my favorite is their mozzarella cheese, which I find too salty. But if you mix it with mushrooms you can make great quesadillas.“
“My second experience was even better than the first ? I was actually looking for a different eatery with similar names. I ended up @ Touch of Italy ??,. And it was the right choice. I ordered the Apple ? salad, which was excellent. Thanks again for the great food and the great conversation ?“
“Stopped in to check out the place for a private party. Had a quick fancy drink, that was amazingly delicious! The owner is very friendly and the place is as clean as a whistle! Definitely coming back hereParking: Had to circle around a few times to find parking. Someone left so I was lucky!“
“Easily my favorite gourmet deli in union county. It’s dangerous to come here when you’re hungry. The sandwiches are the best in the area, and the prepared foods are excellent as well. The service is unequaled, and to top it all off, the prices are no more expensive than many other places with inferior products. I’ve sworn off all other delis.“
“It was pretty good! Nice date with my partner. I would say the food was quick and appetizers were good. Definitely come dressed nice the ambiance seemed for fine dining, which is fine just a little odd for the location. Waiter was good and friendly, but I will say there is no drink menu with prices so just prepped to pay lol.“
“Big C's Cheesesteaks are out of this world. The mushrooms, onion, peppers and cheese complemented the steak so well. Excellent bit of char of mush, onion and peppers for extra flavor. We hired Clemente to cater my birthday based upon a great friend's recommendation... and my man did not disappoint!!!!! Catering - ask for the Pasta Genovese - your mind will be blown. His meatballs and gravy are outta hand. My friend's still talk about his food months later. Not only is Clemente great chef but he is a great person! He preps, and presents....and the best part, he cleans your friggin' kitchen when he's done!! Love your food! Keep it up and you will do great things!“
“We really enjoy this place. The food is excellent and it has a very chill laid back atmosphere. The second time we visited this place was because the Mexican restaurant next to it had a one hour wait. I'm not waiting one hour and we need that the food here was good. My wife ordered a Italian Stromboli and I had pasta and octopus. They were both exceptionally tasty, and always come out piping hot. In addition, everyone gets a really delicious bread basket with different types of Italian breads, garlic, bruschetta and baked bread. The owner is always cordial and you can see him mingling around talking to people.If you are in town I would recommend this place. They are fully accessible, and will move tables around for you if you need them to be moved. The bathrooms are also accessible and there are some accessible parking spots available on the street, or in the parking deck behind the courtyard restaurant area. By the way the prices are really good.Wheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible and that includes the restroom facilities.“
“The pizza here is so freaking good and it’s not the crazy prices that most places are charging nowadays. Way better than La Madonna down the street & less expensive & the staff are WAY friendlier. I live in jersey city & work in New York and eat pizza way too much and Amano trumps 95% of places I’ve ever tried. Along with the prices and friendly staff, I would go out of my way and drive further to come here any day of the week. I got a spinach artichoke slice, a couple grandma slices, an Italian roll & a buff chicken roll and every bite of all of these were so yummy. I don’t leave reviews often but I really really really like this place. Would suggest.“
“No one can beat your cheese steaks. I had one yesterday from another restaurant and it was terrible. They used slices of yellow American which were hardly melted.. We ordered other food too , which I wasn't overlall thrilled with. VINNYS Old Bridge going forward 100%.“
“Incredibly good. I had veal parmesan last night as I do every time my work brings me to New Jersey. Best I've had after going to about 5 different restaurants in the area. Very tender and perfectly seasoned and prepared.The bread was addicting since I had 6 pieces and the service was excellent. Unfortunately I didn't catch his name.This will be the go to place when we come to work up here from now on.“
“Yes, I did try Jimmy buffs and it was delicious. I enjoyed it and I will be back again. I had the red hot double dog with the peppers and onions the ketchup, the bread was nice and soft. The potatoes were cut round and circle. I enjoyed it. And I will go back again.“
“Had a 5:30 reservation for 5 on a Saturday night. Upon our arrival the table was ready and we were seated. This is a B.Y.O.B. establishment, keep that in mind. We ordered appetizers 1, fried calamari 2,fried mozzarella 3, garlic shrimp ?. They were delicious ?. Here is where the 4 starts came in. It took about an hour and a half between the appetizer and main course to come out. It is about the only drawback they have. I enjoyed a 14 ounce filet minion with a side of linguini in vodka sauce. It's outstanding!! Also enjoyed at the table was ravioli, a rack of lamb, pene with bolonaise sauce and a scallop dinner. Everything was enjoyed by all. We will definitely be back.Vegetarian options: Plenty of pastaDietary restrictions: All good cooked to order as you likeParking: There is a lot along side the building and in the rearKid-friendliness: A very relaxed atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: Single door on the ground floor. No steps here“
“Absolutely delicious pizza and what a wonderful owner. Delivered Pizza to my whole football team at Bloomingdale Park completely on time fully equipped with everything for the girls. There wasn’t even a slice left and we ordered eight pies. completely recommend this restaurant and we cannot go back to eat there and we are definitely having our seasonal football parties here! Thank you Mario!“

“My family and I had a wonderful time celebrating my fathers 80th Birthday at La Casa di Martino. Joe and his staff provided excellent service. The food was fantastic, everyone raved about Gilda's award winning meatballs which are not to be missed! I highly recommend having your event here and again want to thank Joe and his entire staff for providing my family and especially my father with a wonderful memory that we will never forget.“
“Easter Sunday byob,sizeable menu.Best plate I've had in a long while.The appetizers ...mini works of art, done to perfection, just like the ones in the picture,lol.Chicken Murphy Xtra peppers, the cherry peppers kicking it up a couple notches, right where you want it in spiciness,makes you slowdown to catch your breath .The desserts? Forget it I was already stuffed.Old school casual Ironbound open dining area ,chill atmosphere,the kids were wonderful they earned their tips.l would definitely bring a date or good friend here . ByoB .“
“Delicious Food! Fast Service! Nice decor with beautiful ceiling. Our server Norbert was pleasant and professional, suggesting the best of what the restaurant offers (which is everything including the bread basket and condiments.) Everything we ordered was amazing: the fried calamari morsels were fresh and tender in a delicious, light batter. Clams on the half shell were so fresh and succulent! The meatballs, eggplant parm, chicken parm and chicken francese were entrees that were big on both taste and portion size. I will definitely come back and tell all my friends about Francesco's Supper Club.“
“Had lunch here with my wife earlier today. Very nice setting here. Nice waitstaff. Ozzi was great. We ordered 2 lunch specials: lentil soup, chicken Marsala, penne alla vodka, with some junior cheesecake for dessert. We had no complaints. Thought everything was great.“
“This pizza place deserves a solid five stars! The pizza is consistently delicious with a perfect balance of crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and quality toppings. The menu offers a variety of creative options alongside classic choices, satisfying every pizza craving. The service is prompt, and the staff is friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Whether dining in or opting for delivery, the pizza arrives hot and fresh. Affordable prices and generous portions make it a go-to spot for pizza lovers. A must-try for anyone seeking a delightful pizza experience!“
“Their food and service were superb. My husband and I had this restaurant recommended by close friend and we were so glad for that recommendation! We went here for our first year anniversary and it exceeded our expectations. The seafood was fresh and the pasta was so flavorful. The desserts were also so delicious! Their carrot cake was amazing! Every recommendation our waiter Jose made was on point. Aside from the food, we had such a fantastic waiter who clearly enjoyed his job and did it well. My husband is from Northern NJ where they are known for Italian food, so if he was impressed than I knew it was a great pick for us. We will for sure be back!“
“I love this pizzeria restaurant. I have been going there since my teen years. The food is always fresh, delicious and made to order. The sauce is amazing in my opinion. Great portions hot and cold subs, mozz sticks, garlic knots and zeppoles. There is tons of parking and indoor seating.Parking: Large parking lotWheelchair accessibility: Ground level entrance“
“I wanted to try a new place for pizza, Benny's had pretty good reviews and I decided to try them. I placed my order for delivery not realizing there was a $5.99 delivery fee which didn't show up until I got the order confirmation. I don't know if the delivery fee was from the establishment or the delivery company Grabull.The Grabull website says " their service is absolutely free, all you pay for is the food & whatever fee's are mentioned for delivery or processing and taxes" I did not see any mention of a delivery fee on Benny's website. Also is the delivery fee a guaranteed tip for the delivery person? If it is that person got a big tip because I added on a tip at checkout.As far as the pizza goes, it was just okay, it certainly was not worth $37.23! It's too bad since Pharmaceutical Reps pays for our lunches we order food several times a week for delivery. We can't go over $17.00 per person delivery fee's cut into that $17.00“
“Absolutely delicious Italian pizza, pasta and entrees! There are so many pizza choices, my favorites were the grilled chicken Caesar salad and the Grandma with a sesame seed crust, soooo yummy! We shared the seafood salad with large shrimp, mussels and tender calamari and the beautiful cold cut platter. The pasta with bolognese was fabulous and so was the chicken francese. They even have gluten free pizza and pasta. Finish with cappuccino and the oh so fresh cannolis and zeppoles. Bring the entire clan as the prices are very reasonable at this wonderful family friendly restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pasta and pizzaKid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly“
“Jimmy provided the food for our family and friends after my husband's funeral. Everything was excellent. He went out of his way to accomodate us and made sure everything was set up and ready for us when we arrived from the funeral. Wonderful people to work with and prices were reasonable.“
“We absolutely love Dolce's. The food is top notch, the owner John and his staff are the best, the prices reasonable, and it's the BEST restaurant to host a party! It is BYOB and they are the most accommodating staff around. They treat their customers like royalty so visit John and his team for the best food and get treated like a VIP! Thank you, John!! Randi C“
