“We had an amazing meal a few weeks ago at Luca’s! We were greeted and seated and waited on promptly. We brought our own wine in which they had no problem opening for us. The food was out of this world. Their meatball appetizer is everything you’ve heard and then some. Incredible sauce, bread service, and our meals were excellent. My partner had the octopus for an appetizer and said it was incredible. Both of our meals were amazing and served timely and piping hot. I had the chicken marsala with mushroom risotto, delicious! And he had the veal saltimbocca. The service was prompt, pleasant and just perfect, and the atmosphere is lovely. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“This deli is almost hidden in a big plaza. It is a small spot but the food is delicious. The chicken parm with vodka sauce was good. The true test of a sandwich is the bread and the bread is the star of the show here. The pasta salad with grilled chicken was delicious as well. It had a vinegary dressing that worked. I would recommend you try if you are in the area.“

“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.“

“Amazing food and staff. Always a great experience!“

“Food is always good, people are friendly the only problem I had is outside of this. Today when I paid I used my debit card instead of paying cash like I have every other time this was around 12:15pm today. The employee made a big deal about it being a NASA Card (my mom worked at Nasa & I have had an account there since 10th grade) By 1:30pm someone had attempted to use my card for a $1,339 AT&T purchase that was declined three times then used some Delta D account to charge $799.60 and unfortunately the second attempt work. I just came from the location and and all I had was smoke blown up my but. Either an employee or patron did something and they have a camera inside the store but was told the owner has the key. If the owner would just let me know when he will be there I will show up and we can handle this like gentlemen. I have been going to this place for over 5 years and work near by. For the record the card has been cancelled and NASA is tracking where charges are being attempted from. Paul“

“This was our first time dining at Bello's and the place was clean and family friendly. We ordered fried mushrooms which were previously frozen and not very good and I had the buffalo wings which were average with little flavor. We both had a salad which was good and then a bar pie and eggplant parmesan which was good.“

“Food is amazing! Great staff, great service, and prices inline. Highly recommend“

“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!“

“Emilio’s new Bar Pie is hands down the best Bar Pie that I’ve ever eaten. It’s handcrafted and the crust is perfection. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!!“

“Nunzio’s is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was impeccable—warm, inviting, and full of charm. The customer service was in a league of its own; “amazing” doesn’t even begin to cover it. The staff was incredibly attentive, and their genuine kindness made me feel so welcome.

The owner himself, is the heart and soul of this place. He’s so humble, down-to-earth, and clearly pours love into every dish he prepares. You can truly taste the passion and care in the food—it was absolutely fantastic. Every bite left me wanting more, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

The prices are unbelievably reasonable for the quality of the food and the experience. Every dish I tried was worth every single penny, and I can only imagine the rest of the menu is just as outstanding.

This was the most amazing experience I’ve had in a long time, and I can’t recommend Nunzio’s enough to anyone in the area. Do yourself a favor and make this your next stop—you won’t regret it!“

“Excellent food, the owner and staff are extremely friendly! Dusal's is my favorite Italian restaurant!“

“My server, I believe his name was David, gave us the best restaurant experience we could ask for. Consistently coming back making sure we had drinks and the amazing breadsticks. He talked us through the menu and gave good suggestions that we ended up loving! Very good experience overall a little pricey but will come back in the future.“

“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 ❤️“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Since moving to New Jersey, Mezza Luna is the only Pizza that my youngest son will eat. Not only is their pizza amazing but their dinner dishes and everything else on the menu is just as tasty. I look forward to when I order from Mezza Luna because I know we will be having a delicious dinner. They are generous size portions, and the quality and taste are excellent. The customer service is amazing. And the delivery is always faster than what they tell you which is so nice. the owners are wonderful and generous people. They are active in the community. I recommend that everyone eat here or order from here with their really fast delivery, the food always comes hot. I love Mezza Luna and I will continue to be a loyal customer.“

“I had lunch here at Delios in 2014. Here i revisit 2024 and I must say 10 years later and Katerina & Pete still serving the best Pizza. Godbless !!! Quality , Service and consistency is still the same! If you haven't tried it You must.

Love

“Usually pick up pizza to go never disappointed in the quality and service.“

“Every time I mention the Olive Garden, my Italian friends look at me funny and laugh but I swear the food is pretty good.
Yeah it may not be authentically Italian, but the food on their menu like the crisp and not chewy calamari, the creamy chicken Alfredo & shrimp Alfredo and even the spaghetti with eggplant is always on point. Every time either myself my wife or my teenage daughter orders from the menu we are quite happy.
Tonight our server Jaylen was awesome. She brought us our drinks, appetizers and main course pretty quick. She was very friendly, polite, and extremely helpful which is what every diner experience should be when you go out to eat.“

“hi everyone yes I stopped by Kings Pizza many of times they have a good service they're super clean friendly people they always ready to figure out what exactly you wanted to order very good place I completely recommend it“

“Stopped by last Friday - just took a chance.
Pleasantly surprised how good the food was.
Had the vegetable tikka pizza - well made crust was perfect.
Also had the saag paneer and naan - both were very good and came with side of rice.

Their menu is bit confusing and hard to follow but glad we tried.

Very reasonably priced - try it out!“
