50 Best Italian Restaurants near Hamilton Square

“Oh man that was good. Thanks !!“

“Clean Customer Service Friendly Food Excellent Chicken Parmigiana was fresh and delicious Pricing you get what you pay for similar to the reasoning behind purchasing a new Ford Maverick rather than an older Hyundai Cold hoagies I have had Italians and their Turkeys the hoagies were delicious meats and cheeses were brand names and good and plenty of LTO and oil and vinegar“

“I recommend this place to everyone every meal we’ve had is excellent. The atmosphere is very pleasant. You will not be disappointed with this place. Give him a try.“

“I hosted a rehearsal dinner in the Wine Room at Iccara. The space was the perfect size for our group of 28. The staff was great in setting up the table scape and decorations to meet my daughter's "vision". Everyone raved that the food was delicious and plentiful. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Our food was delicious! Stuffed shrimp and veal with mushrooms in a frangelica cream sauce.“

“great family owned business with good food and interesting weekend specials“

“From mouthwatering cocktails to exquisite dishes in a stunning local restaurant where you can be soothed by the band and catered to by staff...nothing compares.“

“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.“

“We had our Thanksgiving dinner and everything was great. I look forward to additional gatherings in the future.“

“Stopped for lunch with hubs and friends. We we're looking to share a pizza, this is NOT that place. Yes, personal size for dine in. We opted for sandwiches. 2 ordered the roast pork, broccoli rabe, sharp provolone and both finished and raved how delicious 😋 Other 2 of us ordered the cheesesteak with LTO, red wine vinegar and olive oil, I added light mayo. The rolls these sandwiches were served were fantastic 😋 The sammies were NOT "packed" with fillings like a cheesesteak joint. Nicely presented with homemade potato chips. Quality of ingredients is huge because I can't eat a lot. The red wine vinegar and olive oil was top notch. I use red wine vinegar almost daily 😋 I would definitely go back for the same meal, about 1hr from my home and worth the trip 😋“

“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.“

“The food is incredible - highly recommend“

“All the workers here are kind and considerate. They make you feel welcome. They also provide fast service, but still quality. The food is A+ tier and there is nothing to complain about. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great atmosphere with great people around you!“

“Robert and his staff made my son's 35th Birthday Celebration very special. We had 30 people for dinner at Leonardo's on October 24, 2025, all of them were very pleased with the food, service and atmosphere for my sons 35th Birthday Celebration. Our menu consisted of Penne Marinara, Farfalle Vodka, Chicken Parmesan and a Caesar Salad. All would recommend Leonardo's when dining due to the taste and the service of the staff at Leonardo's. The pasta just melted in mouth and could taste the chesses, or the sauces on the pasta. There was more than enough food for all. The Caesar Salad was a blend of crisp, creamy, tangy and savory favors working together to achieve a satisfying balance. All in All the evening was perfect, and I will be coming back to Leonardo's for future celebrations.“

“Wow! What a perfect meal for my Italian friend and I. Service was excellent and the food was absolutely delicious! We got the Broccoli Rabe Sausage app and the Mussels and Clams Fra Diablo. She got a pan fried Soft Crab special and I got my favorite Eggplant Parmesan. We took dessert home but are too full to eat it. Highly recommend! Great vibes inside and BYOB.“

“We ordered a tray of Chicken Parmigiana with vodka sauce for Christmas Eve dinner. It was absolutely amazing. We finished off with cannolis which were huge and so delicious! Romeo is the best, whatever you want, he will do!“

“Worth the Five-Year Wait!
We have been meaning to try Toscano Steakhouse for five years, and after finally going, my only thought is: what on earth were we thinking waiting so long?! From start to finish, the experience was flawless.
Our server, Debbie, was exceptional. Her knowledge of the menu, attentiveness, and sharp attention to detail truly elevated the evening. The rest of the staff mirrored that standard, making sure every single need and request was met seamlessly.
The food was spectacular across the board. We started with Emma's meatballs, which were a massive hit. For the main courses, the root beer pork chop was incredible, the salmon was completely delectable, and the eggplant certainly didn’t disappoint.
We topped the night off with some fantastic desserts. The staff even went out of their way to bring a complimentary dessert to celebrate our daughter and her husband's wedding anniversary—a genuinely thoughtful touch of hospitality that you just don't see much of anymore. We will absolutely be back, and we definitely won't be waiting another five years this time!“

“A true gem in Lawrenceville. I highly recommend this place to those who enjoy good food.“

“You will always see this place full of happy returning patrons and we are two of them. Food quality is fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. You have to try their Brick Oven pizzas. If you crave an American cheese hoagie, that is prepared on the best tasting roll in New Jersey, delicious cheese, and crisp lettuce and onions, try one of theirs. The very best that we have ever judged.“

“Ethan was an incredible server! Very attentive & took great care of us, will definitely be returning!“

“Huge shoutout to Angelo’s tonight. Only wish I would’ve remembered my server’s name, to give her extra recognition here. We went out for an important dinner tonight. We were celebrating something small, but meaningful. When we called they had no reservations available for the evening, but then called us back and squeezed us in at 4:30. The power went out in the entire city after we were served our first course. We were served our entrees in the dark, with the same elegance, as of nothing had occurred. Even with the unfortunate circumstances, we were treated like royalty by the entire staff, and had an exceptional dining experience. I will be dreaming of the escarole, until I have it again. Thank you Angelo’s! Great job! 👏🏽“

“Had our reunion dinner there last night. The food was outstanding and our waitress was tremendous. She did a fantastic job.“

“Great pizza and fast delivery! Shout out to Brodie.“

“Call ahead or dine in. Either is preferred.“

“August 3, 2024....Just had the most delicious meal in recent memory, the Stuffed Chicken Breast over Spaghetti Puttanesca at Amalfi's in Lawrenceville!!! Outstanding! MUST TRY!!!! If you are fortunate enough to get ANDRES as your server as well, you will have a PERFECT dining experience.“

“We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary here, and it was a magnificent experience from reservation to dessert! The food is indescribably delicious, and the service is first class. Our guests look forward to returning soon for their own experience. Thank you!!!“

“The food and atmosphere are AMAZING!!! Everything is so fresh and you can tell it is all made with the best ingredients. A great place to go for authentic Italian food and a plus is it's a BYOB!!!“

“Last night was our first time at Pastiamo's and our experience was fantastic from start to finish! The food was absolutely delicious -- Burrata, Gnocchi Pesto, Penne with Walnut Sauce and Rigatoni Ragu were especially everyone's favorites. The staff was polite, attentive, and so patient, even when we stayed past closing time. Thank you, Francesca and team for making our night so special. I highly recommend this restaurant, and our family will definitely be back!“

“I was up by Trenton for a dentist appt and went to get my lab work up there instead of by my house as I had time. I stopped by D&C as it looked interesting and I was hungry af. I drooled over much of the store (and enjoyed a sample!) before I settled on a peanut butter bomb. It took me 2 weeks to finish it, it was that rich. But OMG was it delicious. I somehow didn't lick the wrapper it was in, but it was by far the best dessert I have had in many years. I am sad this isn't close to me, but then again, probably for the best as everything there looked amazing! The line was long and everyone anxious to have lunch. I would definitely recommend! Part of the reason for my review is that I can search back and recall the name...if I am ever in the area...or in the mood for a road trip!❤️“

“Great make your own pizza event! Very friendly and accommodating family of owners. Generous portions and surprisingly nice desserts. Highly recommend!“

“Trisha and Carleigh have worked tirelessly to ensure our wedding was as magical as it could have been!

Food: compliments from the entire guest list. Some of which are chefs themselves so that only adds to the praise.

Ambiance: The candles and the lighting with the chandeliers really make it look incredibly lovely.

Staff: Trisha and Carleigh handled logistics and made sure we were taken care of. The bridal suite is a wonderful spot to recuperate away from the guests for a bit and the made sure we had enough to eat and drink before rejoining everyone. Matt, our server, was just as attentive during the ceremony and even got me coffee without me asking based on how ragged i was looking throughout the night.

Overall: was a lovely choice for our wedding reception and they are quick to accommodate. Thank you again!“

“One of Pennington’s hidden gems! This adorable place may be located in a shopping center but don’t worry about that! The atmosphere is just perfect inside! The staff is friendly and inviting! Jen is amazing! The food is delicious and the drinks are just perfect! The spritzes are my favorite but there is something for everyone! Don’t miss out on the meat and cheese boards! They are a must try! Perfect for a date, girls outing or just an afternoon out! Can’t wait to go back!!!“
