“daFilippo's is a hidden gem of a restaurant that has been my family's special occasion standard for many year's. The Northern Italian menu which changes to focus on only the freshest ingredients has a little Swiss influence and is presented with an artistic touch and personal care. Last evening I hosted sixteen business associates in the back room which has an iron gate for privacy. Filippo presented a five course meal which blew everyone away followed by him playing a few songs on the Piano. The Chicken or Cod dishes were pan seared to perfection. daFilippo's is a BYOB restaurant which I Love. My wife remarked how clean the restrooms are kept. Plenty of parking in the rear of the building. In closing, if you are looking for a family owned, unique restaurant where the owner chef touches every plate to ensure perfection then this is the place to make a reservation.“

“everything was amazing!!! we will be back“

“Moved to the neighbourhood a couple of weeks back and were looking for a nice place to eat... we found Girasole within walking distance and it exceeded our expectations. The staff were attentive yet not overebearing and the food was delicious. Pointing out that I do cook... and well... so it is nice to find a place that I can enjoy without thinking "I could have made this better at home". Definitely be coming back and soon!“

“Best food ever 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 love coming here with our family Tammy and Sal the owners are so nice very special people and so are their waiters and waitresses we love Palo Thanks to our Father for introducing us to Dimaios“

“Arugula salad special was outstanding“

“Had a great dinner! Always great service too!“

“Delicious food! Great staff!“

“Great service, food, and location.“

“Food is Delicious. Nice Place.“

“The food and ambiance are always on point, and the people are welcoming like family.“

“Always a great classic dinner experience. Small and intimate, the noise is much better with hidden acoustic tiles, the pasta is homemade, and specials are actually interesting, and the service is exceptional. It's also nice to be on Broadway rather than Burlingame Avenue, because it is a bit smaller and charming. This is a great place for Italian food in Burlingame.“

“So grateful to Café Picasso for making my birthday dinner last Friday night a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was above and beyond! It's dimly lit inside which made reading the menu a bit challenging. However, everything we did order made up for it! I highly recommend the Frittura di Calamari for an appetizer. The following dishes we ordered were spectacular! Rigatoni alla Vodka, Penne alla Grotta, Gnocchi Alessandra, Norwegian Salmon (special), Penne al Forno, Spaghetti alla Carbonara and the Pollo alla Francese! It is a BYOB establishment, luckily there is a wine and spirits store next door. My family will definitely be returning to this beautiful gem in the heart of Somerville!“

“I never write reviews, but this one is worth writing! Yesterday was my Dad's 97th birthday. I ordered food from Anthony for his party of 25-30 people. Best choice I ever made! Not only were Anthony and Donna so nice and accommodating, but the food was out of this world! I cannot recommend Anthony's food, and service, more highly. Thank you Anthony and Donna for making my Dad's birthday even more special.“

“Best Pizza in Union & Middlesex County HANDS DOWN! The Hot sandwiches, calzones, Stromboli’s all great! The dining area has that cozy home “cucina” feel. The serving staff are friendly and prompt. Whether it’s take out or dine in. Max’s Pizzeria & Restaurant is the only place that gets my money! Quality, Value & great food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everything is the best!!! ♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟♥️“

“We were there for my daughters birthday this past Saturday. My wife and my daughter's boyfriend had the seared salmon which they loved. My daughter had the chicken parm, which she said was good. Her only "complaint" was that the sauce was a bit too sweet for her taste, but the portion was good and the chicken was cooked well. My son enjoyed his pepperoni pizza. He's not very adventerous. I had the Capellini Napoletani. It was very good. The capellini was cooked perfectly for my taste as was the shrimp, clams and calamari. Very tender. The sauce was great. This is our go-to for great food and is my wife's favorite. She is returning with coworkers for lunch on Tuesday. Service is top notch. Keep up the good work. We'll definately be returning.“

“Fantastic!! So glad we came, by far the best Italian we’ve had….ever! Service from the outset was 1st class, very attentive team, could not do enough for you. Food quality was outstanding. Definitely worth the price tag.“

“This spot is a hidden gem. I’ve been living in the area for about 15 years now and just randomly tried this place one day, and let me just say it not only exceeded my expectations but blew them out of the park. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is nothing short of simply the best. I would highkey recommend trying their freshly house made pizzas, they’re finger licking good as well as their pastas which are chefs kisses. I’m genuinely amazed at how not many people know about this restaurant. The owner is the sweetest woman I’ve ever met, we talked for 15 minutes just about her business it was 2 minutes before they closed and she offered me all of the left over pizza they hadn’t sold that day FOR FREE. I’ve found my new favorite go to Italian spot.“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“good service, good place to go with family and friends.“

“my review is for the amazing pepperoni slice I just grabbed for lunch. it had a crispy, thin crust with no flop. the sauce was a nice balance of sweet and tangy. the cheese was not excessive, and the pepperoni wasn’t too greasy. I added pepper flakes and oregano because that’s how I like my pizza, but it would be perfectly delicious without it.“

“We've been ordering here for a while now. It's one of the better NY/NJ style pizzas in the area without being too specialized.Their pasta and meat menu items are where they are best - looking at you Chicken Puicinella and Cavatelli with Broccoli.For appetizers, they have great wings which are crispy, the way I like them. Also, the fried calamari uses a very light batter, so it's not too heavy.We've ordered trays from them twice for parties and we weren't disappointed in the quantity provided and they were affordable.“

“The BEST in Stirling for anything from amazing Stromboli that cannot be beat - fresh doughnuts, bagels & the tastiest desserts... You can't go wrong here. PS: Meatballs are to die for!“

“Absolutely the best! The food was delicious--I had the seafood ravioli and it was to die for! Husband had a pasta dish, homemade pasta with a tomato based sause with short ribs--out of this world. Great service and beautiful atmosphere! Will be coming back soon!!!“

“Drove from Cleveland to a meeting in NYC, specifically had a layover in New Brunswick, just to have dinner. This was my second trip for dinner in two months and it exceeded all expecations, the hoilday decor transformed the second floor. The service (Regan) was on point, pleasant and efficient with out being over bearing. The meal was the single greatest pasta dish I have had in the U.S. (wild boar ravioli) Already making plans to return, if you are with in a days drive, you really have no excuse not to enjoy a meal with them.“

“Buen servicio, excelente dinner y aperitivos, mi familia todos contentos y en especial mi esposa la del cumpleaños. Gracias.“

“New ownership and some of the BEST pizza in NJ you have to come try this place“

“Great food and service in a very stylish restaurant…“

“Quaint and cozy restaurant. Friendly service. Great takeout. We’ve been going there for years. We even had them cater some parties for us.“

“We stopped in for dinner at Chrone’s Trattoria to try the food since it’s under new management now. It was SO good!! I got the Greek salad with chicken cutlet and onion rings. Everything was so fresh. I can’t wait to come back- their menu includes a ton so an easy place to go with friends for a great meal. Definitely check it out!“

“This past Saturday, 5.21.22, my family and I ventured out to Cucina Mandreucci, for the first time since covid, for my niece's college graduation celebratory dinner. We have been here before for other special family occasions, as well as for everyday family dinners. No matter whether you are a party of 20 or an intimate party of two, Cucina Mandreucci will treat you like family. They handled our rowdy bunch with ease. Jill, our server, and our busser (I apologize, but I forget his name) treated us like family. They remembered us from our last large family gathering three years ago, as well as from the last time I was there with my fiance and our four children. They remembered where we sat and what we ate; simply put, they (but especially Jill) made us feel at home, and welcomed us back with open arms. As if that were not enough, the food was, once again, outstanding! I am a picky eater, and that puts it mildly. Jill was ready for my crazy requests and substitutions. She, and the kitchen, handled it all like pros. As if our large, rambunctious party were not enough to handle, we actually forgot a to-go meal for a family member who was unable to attend; we put that request in as we were paying the bill. Not four minutes later did that food come out of the kitchen ready to go. When I tell you this place has their stuff together, that is the truth. This is my favorite restaurant in Middlesex County for sure, and of course we'll be returning!“

“This evening I had the pleasure of dining here.we were greeted warmly and staff was very attentive .The atmosphere is warm & inviting! The shrimp with chick peas outstanding flavor! Zucchini flowers beautifully presented & tasty. Seafood w/ said pasta fresh and tasty. Fresh fruit, brownie and cappuccino to top off the evening. Definitely recommend!“

“Awesome dinner - awesome atmosphere - very friendly people and staff!!!“

“We celebrated our daughter's 19th birthday at Victoria's. Let me just say Vinny and team made us feel so warm and welcomed. The atmosphere reminded me of how restaurants used to be when I was a kid, growing up in NY. Top notch customer service and the icing on the cake.. food was amazing. We ordered appetizers including the baked wings and buttermilk fried calamari which was delicious. We had pasta dishes including carbonara, penne vodka and even gnocchi. All of which were amazing. As well as desserts . The waiter was amazing too. This is now our new favorite spot! Thank you Victoria's for a memorable evening ❤️“

“Great place! We come back to NJ from Arkansas and love getting a meal in here!“

“I’m visiting family in the area & after leaving the gym, I did a google search & this popped up. I read thru the reviews & decided to give it a try. I ordered “The Dom” & omggg, watching the gentleman make it, I was flabbergasted
seeing the mountain of meats & cheese. This is no ordinary subway type of sandwich. Before writing this review, I had to try it & it did not disappoint…AT ALL!!! (Macaroni salad was good too) The only downside would be I can’t share it w/my family member b/c her teeth are not good & although I liked the crispiness of the bread, I should have asked for a softer roll. I’m not complaining though, it was perfect for me! I’d say I’ll be back tomorrow to try something else but I’ll be eating this for the next couple days. 😁

The staff all worked together, helping each other out which was nice to see. The new lady who initially took my order…super sweet! Best of luck to u all & thanks for making my 1st time experience a memorable one!“
