“Delicious Italian food that delivers in taste, quality, and presentation. Since it was our first time, it took us some time to order, but the waiter was very helpful and patient. The meatballs voted in best in New Jersey are definitely worth it. A combination of textures and flavors such as pine nuts and raisins gave it a delightful flavor; we ate every single bite. I got the genovese-gnocchi with braised beef short rib. The gnocchi was soft and pillowy yet firm. The braised beef short rib was tender and smooth to taste; the beef reduction brought all the flavors together nicely. If you're looking for great Italian food then give Lucas a visit.“
“Found this spot on the way home to get a quick pie for my fam. We love pizza so we barely deviate from our normal pizza spots. This is one of the best kept secrets in somerset NJ. We are pizza purists and we've tried a lot of different places, we're spoiled since NJ has a lot of really good quality spots. We've only had the plain pie from here, so cant really speak to anything else but we love it and this has been our top choice for the last few weeks.“
“Am amazing pizza place and so much more! Great daily specials! We like the Italian hoagie and their cheese steak. But they have many many other menu items!

“This place is what I call a great local pizzeria, I absolutely love the chicken bacon ranch pizza never fails me, the staff is always friendly and the food is great.And if you’re in a rush call in your order they do get busy, but if not totally worth the wait.recommend trying them out“
“What a great old-school Italian restaurant. Found it by chance, here for a wedding and came in and thought it was just a pizzeria. Someone, maybe the owner, waved us in and said come on in and come to the back dining room. The food was, outstanding! Atmosphere was totally Italian. Love the old school, family style Italian setting. BYOB keeps your bill down and the food is exceptional!“
“First time going we ordered Cheesesteaks and fries. The online menu says the sandwiches come with complimentary bags of chips, which isn't true, but for the prices, which is going to complain. The girl at the counter didn't pay attention to the online orders, so our order was started 20 mins after we placed it. The cheesesteaks were delicious, fries needed seasoning but still good. Would Def come back again.“
“I am updating my review from 3 years ago. I had a bad experience there regarding my server disappearing several times and being short with me verbally. I genuinely didn't want to go back until my grandmom mentioned it's her favorite restaurant.Thankfully, that experience with her was made out to be much more enjoyable than before. The past three times I have gone, the Server named Tim makes sure my experience is better than before.He's always asking what my 17-month-old son needs to go with his meal. He has made a great meal suggestion for us every time. Most importantly, he corrected the mistakes that your other servers and cooks tainted my life with years ago. He took responsibility for something he didn't even do, which to me is a sign that he takes pride in his career when the one who made the mistake disappeared.Top notch food! And now I can finally say top notch service!“

“Thank you so much for letting us host our event at your venue . It was my first Women's International Empowerment Event, and this venue was amazing with everything. They were very accommodating, and whatever I needed, I received it. Everyone had a lovely time. The food was very delicious, everyone enjoyed the food. I can't thank you enough. Artie and Tony are great. Thank you so much.“
“Today was the first time we ate out on a Holiday. Having Easter dinner @ Portofino's was the BEST!! We enjoyed a delicious meal, wonderful service and atmosphere without any 'clean up'. The food was served hot and appetizing. It couldn't get better. The entire staff was pleasant, accomodating and attentive.“
“Let's rally around the Paradise Restaurant! Remember Tuscany? Several former staff are there, and a fantastic new chef! They're planning on expanding the bar into the large dining room! Great atmosphere, staff, and food! We had the eggplant parm and chicken franchaise and it was top notch! Calamari was tender and crispy! Beer and wine selection was very good as well!“
“Lamp Post Inn is FANTASTIC! We recently had a reception here for our son's baptism. Sal (the owner) was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive, helpful, and very patient with all my questions and inquiries. The room we had was perfect for our guest list of about 45 adults and 15 kids (10+ were under the age of 9!) Everyone RAVED about the food which was your normal buffet food. However, this was the best buffet food I have ever had! The chicken francize was my personal favorite. Our minimalist decorations were perfect for the intimate space and getting to be in the space early was perfect! Our servers went above and beyond for all our guests. I will definitely be coming back for my next gathering!“
“Was very please with my food. I built my own pizza with cauliflower crusted. I ordered a white pizza with spinach and grilled chicken. I was not disappointed. The crust was crispy and the flavor was great. Staff were friendly and over atmosphere was good! Prices weren't that bad either.I would definately recommend this place and will be returning.“
“We stopped in to get a cheese pie on the way to the drive in and it was so good. Perfect ratio of cheese and bread. Some small shops have cheese sliding off but not this one! It was just done perfectly. Will be our go to when we go to the drive in!“
“Really nice and clean location, everyone working was super friendly. The specialty slices are really good, I recommend the Buffalo chicken slice. The regular plain slice was nothing to write home about, (expected better on that, since I been to a few other locations). Good place to stop for lunch.Parking: Small lot“
“Ordered delivery - we have tons of great pizza around here, this place is just another amazing addition! Not a single complaint. Got they're spinach garlic and ricotta specialty pie. Absolutely delicious. Wings came breaded and crispy! Don't pass this place up for your next pizza “
“I had a buffalo chicken wrap it was fresh packed with chicken and worth the purchase the delivery driver called ahead and gave his ETA which I thought was super nice. I didn't add a tip when I paid over the phone and when I got my receipt there was no space to add a tip. I didn't have cash and felt bad they should add a tip option on their receipts“
“The food is delicious, the service is good too, obviously depends who you get the day of and how their day is going, but overall i always recommend this place to anyone in the area and all my clients ( to be wed couples)BYOB SO THATS IMPORTANT , there is a wine store next to the parking “
“Hosted a baby shower here. I can’t rave enough about the servers and Dina, the manager. Family run (you can tell). The food was delicious , and the bill uncomplicated. It was the easiest restaurant party I have ever hosted. I can’t wait to go back for dinner and drinks.“
“Honest to God this is the best food I have had from a Pizzeria in 20+ years. Other restaurants need to pay attention to Brothers. From the first bite to the last the food is beyond savory. My meal was so very yummy!! This restaurant is clean and the staff is super polite!!. I will return again and I WILL be taking food home across the state border.“
“Had a mid afternoon lunch with a large party in May. The food was wonderful, the service was great and the view of the lake was spectacular! Highly recommended!Parking: Lots of parking in private lot right across the street from the restaurant.“
“Nice place. Attentive and friendly staff.Maybe I'm picky, but I gave food only 4 stars because while tasty, the pasta was extremely overcooked and mushy, and I feel there wasn't enough sauce. The veal parm was perfect, though.Coincidently, one friend felt the same about her veal marsala.The other 3 in the group enjoyed theirs without specifics.We'd give it another try for sure, though.“
“Stopped in for lunch and the food was absolutely amazing. Ordered a half buffalo chicken and half cheese pie and it was amazing. Everything you are looking for in a pizza was there. Correct amount of sauce cheese and the crust was baked to perfection!!! Also ordered an Italian sandwich and was delicious as well. The staff was very kind and friendly. I would come back here for sure whenever i am in the area!!“
“Our family loves Tony's Pizza. Their food is delicious! The eggplant parm is my favorite and the kids love their pizza. They also offer vegan meals which are delicious. The waitresses are always friendly and provide great service. The owners are so kind and offer our community exceptional Italian food.“
“Food is delicious and the inside is clean and cozy. A classic NJ pizza place vibe. Best spot for a quick lunch. The owners are so kind, great service. And the new Mexican menu is amazing just like the pizza is. Great food and better service. Highly recommend.“

Our server was Troy and he was great! And to my surprise chef Lorenzo brought out an in house homemade tiramisu which was so creamy and not over done with lady fingers.. it was a great experience.“
“This is our go to place for cheesesteak when we’re in the mood for a great sandwich. The portion is so big, my wife and I share it and get some of the homemade soup.The menu is very diverse. This is a great place to get pizza. They do delivery and overall they just do a great job.Parking: Look at it in the shopping center and there is always plenty of parking. Staff is phenomenal.“
“Most delicious muscles for a chain store. I actually prefer them to all the restaurants around here. Red sauce muscles taste much better than white sauce. Also the have a great special which is half a sandwich and a soup or salad but the soup and the salad are big.“
“I don’t write reviews very often, but this one deserves it. Best sub shop in Sussex county and possibly NJ. Everything is fresh and delicious. If you order a specialty item the owner can make it in advance, very nice employees. Love Saviolis!“
