“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“

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

“If you are looking for a family based excellent restaurant this is your place. Iccara has been in business for as long as I can remember. Their food is outstanding, the atmosphere on point. Most importantly the family are awesome! If you've never been you are missing out on a true gem! Now I'm hungry lol!!“

“The food has always been good here, but our waitress last night was above and beyond. It was packed but she never let more than a few minutes pass to check on us. In our rush to leave, we forgot to grab our leftovers and she ran to the parking lot to catch us! Mackenzie is a huge asset to your business and her service is truly appreciated, thank you!“

“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 😋“

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

“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.“

“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 had a fantastic late lunch on Easter Sunday at Toscano. We started with cocktails at their bar in front and then proceeded to enjoy a most delicious meal at our table. Bone-in ribeye and the 10oz filet were the main course with Caesar salad and French onion mashed potatoes on the side. Service was very attentive from Brianna and overall experience was great, definitely recommend.“

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

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

“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.“

“The food is incredible - highly recommend“

“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.“

“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! 👏🏽“

“My Family and our ParkwayAutoBody Crew love this delicious Italian Food… But the Chicken Salad 🥗 There is no other…!!! GREAT PLACE for GREAT PEOPLE“

“Best homemade Italian food We had the grandmom pizza, the eggplant parmigiana,the chicken parmigiana, the cheese steak and the homemade fresh mozzarella, was the best we never had!! Try Bella's you will be very impressed,“

“Well the atmosphere was my house (delivery, LOL) but the last time I ordered, we had a cheesesteak and couple of slices of pizza for two. The pizza was delicious (which we both had a slice first and by the time we got to the cheesesteak it was still piping hot which I wasn’t expecting but pleasantly surprised by! That was delicious as well. My dog, who believes our food is also his food couldn’t agree more! But he left his mushrooms. Had I realized he didn’t like them I would have never have given them to them because even they were delicious! Anyway, so happy about it that I ordered a whole pizza this time and the pork belly fries. Great food always brings happiness! So thank you!! Their excellent reviews are spot on!“

“Great service, amazing cuisine!“

“Excellent food. Great catering services. Reasonably priced“

“BRUSCHETTA = ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS Chicken parmigiana- if Angelo is making it, it’s 5⭐️ !! Meatballs rated by my 9 near old picky eater 5*“

“OMG. I tried Phil’s MULTIPLE times over the years and was so disappointed. My BF stopped on Thursday and brought me the most AMAZING PUPUSAS 🤤. And MAGICAL PLANTAIN EMPANADAS. I would have never tried it because I really didn’t like one thing any of the times I went before. I will DEFINITELY be going back. A LOT. This is a good and bad thing. Did I mention PUPUSAS??????!“

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