“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.“

“Starting with the name Italian Touch you can feel the reminisce of Italy throughout this establishment although not too flashy this location makes you want to dress business casual. The service is Unexpectedly 5 star and the energy is stupendous.Ok on to the food.My wife and I had the pleasure to getting to know one of the cooks trying out their personal favorites and I can easily see what the hype is about.Each slice bring farm to table flavors with a brick oven crust.I must say the flavor is what you expect when you desire that flavor.Food is an art and a science and they nailed both.Excellent experience here. Will be back.Sorry no pictures this time.“

“ordered a large cobb salad. it was so delicious. they gave so much chicken and the greens were so fresh. I used to be a steady customer of highland park pizza but they went out of business and I was upset because I have health issues and need meals delivered to me. Tried Francesco and they will have me as a steady customer now. so happy I found this place. give them a shot you wont be sorry.“

“We had a bunch of things to share and it was all so delicious! I loved the bubble waffles- which were amazing- almost tasted like funnel cake! We also enjoyed their deconstructed eggs Benedict, and their prosciutto sandwich. Will be back for sure“

“They have the best food, prices, and customer service in the area hands down. I moved to Old Bridge about six months ago and have tried most, if not all of the local pizza places and Torino is number one on my list. My friends and family who have visited have also agreed. I highly recommend Torino!“

“Took my father there recently on a whim. People are super nice, food is super, steak was a little cold, but nonetheless tasted like perfection.Few things:1. The Rib Eye was $165 dollars which we split so only one(1) entree, Gnocchi Appetizer and such..coffee at end.Bill was, with no Alcohol - - $292.00 before tip.So this is super high.....with a somewhat generous tip of $70.00, with a shared Steak and a few apps. Plus coffee. Total was, $362.2. Music was tad loud as place is small, so music echoes. Just maybe tone down the music and maybe switch to a soft/pop Sirius channel.Place is Aces if you like to spend $$$ as u won't be disappointed. The staff is A plus as they work together and seem to enjoy working there.“

“I love love LOVE this place. The owners are two old school Sicilians that reminded me of my Nonna and Nonno growing up, and the pizza was phenomenal! I also got their manicotti, and the sauce they make is exquisite. I'd absolutely recommend them, without question.“

“Great pizza with great service! The garlic knots are delicious- must buy! Tons of huge garlic pieces! I got half plain and half green peppers, and definitely the freshest green peppers I've had on a pizza ever. I haven't been here in years but went because they were supporting a fundraiser for the local animal shelter- another reason to come here! Definitely will be back soon!“

“EDIT: I am not as angry now and you acknowledged your mistake but every day is a tryout homie sorry I called you the b word.Showed up early to pickup my order let them know what I was there for, watch the balding guy take my sunny d ($30 pizza) box it and set on the cold granite countertop for 10+ minutes while they made the rest of my order. $30 pie literally ice cold before it got to my car. Livid and wish I could swear on here.“

“Slice has quickly become our preferred destination. We appreciate every aspect of this establishment, particularly our support for family-run businesses due to their commitment to quality, consistency, and fair pricing. Frank makes the whole experience a very comfortable environment. Looking forward to visiting again, Frank!“

“Tomato Pies Italian Kitchen offers a decent dining experience with its cozy ambiance and Italian-inspired dishes. The menu selection is varied, but some dishes fell short of expectations in terms of flavor and execution. While the service was friendly.Additionally, the portion sizes seemed inconsistent, with some dishes being overly generous while others felt lacking. Overall, Tomato Pies has potential, but there are areas that could be improved to elevate the dining experience.“

“The best tacos!! Keep it up always and you will never lack customers!! The delicious tacos al pastor and enchilada not to mention with their fresh and finely chopped onion their fresh cilantro the super fresh cucumbers, radishes, lemons that's how it should be! Just a little less fat but they are “

“Food was 11/10 ❗️Order 4 different dishes yesterday all of them tasted amazing! Ordered so much that I dropped my garlic bread on my way to the car. Went back inside and without hesitation the manager made me a fresh batch. Very hardworking people who care about our community. Great environment to bring to your friends and family for quality food.“

“Customer for years. Friendly service, quick pick up time, and literally the best pizza within 10 miles.Actual pizza with a fantastic sauce. LARGE slices if you come in for a quick slice and quick service if you're pressed for time. Not overpriced like many places in the area.Dinners are a good deal and the chicken parm never disappoints.“

“No one can beat your cheese steaks. I had one yesterday from another restaurant and it was terrible. They used slices of yellow American which were hardly melted.. We ordered other food too , which I wasn't overlall thrilled with. VINNYS Old Bridge going forward 100%.“

“For a mom n pop pizzeria, Carmela's sure is one of the best NY style pizzas that I've had. We ordered a large size cheese pizza, along with some garlic knots/bread. The pizza came out hot n ready from the oven. The cheese was just stretching away and the sauce was robust. The dough itself tasted very good. We sprinkled some red crush peppers and garlic seasoning/powder. Mmmmm more and more garlic. And more garlic. And wait....even more garlic. The garlic knots were delicious. They were heated warmAnd I asked them to lace it with extra garlic oil. A perfect combination of both items. There's a few tables inside and it's a simple looking pizzeria. They do offer pizza by the slices also.“

“Indo Chinese veg manchurian and fried rice too much good and fresh test like Mumbai street food service also fantastic . Jayesh bhai is awesome great service I like it .I am from Edison but nobody like your service here .Thanks jayesh I visit very soon at your place and eat more food with my family and friends.Thanks ☺️“

“Nice hideaway with an extensive craft beer selection (larger establishments should take note). The public house is located in the liquor, sounds strange but the ambiance is nice and they have live music on Fridays. Cheese fries were tasty! Don't judge a book by its cover. Solid four stars.“

“Tony's Open Kitchen is a great Italian addition to the neighborhood. I recently went to dinner her with a group of 10. Everyone enjoyed their food. The pasta entrees were a hit and the Regolare Pizza was great (ohh.. that sauce). The service was fast and efficient. I ordered then eggplant parmigiana, which was awesome and a plentiful portion size. I liked the fact that it was not deep fried, but instead lightly battered and baked. The accompanying vegetables were all so flavorful and delicious. The complimentary bread was hot, fresh and tasty out of the oven. It's a BYOB, so that's a plus. I look forward to going back and trying some of the other entrees. Note: They charge 3% for using a credit card and will only do up to 3 credit cards per table. That created a bit of an issue with 10 people, since not everyone had cash on hand.“

“3/1/24 I read about Via Sposito having multiple restaurants serving family style dishes and their Pizza ovens are wood and coal fired so we went to the one in Old Bridge, NJ. Our gracious host Dolores is an Sposito who we had the pleasure to talk with.We started with Zuppa di Mussels,which was delicious and the sauce to dip the mussels in was so sweet yummy.Just look at the pictures before and after.Then my wife ordered the huge Pork Chop with mixed vegetables and potatoes, my wife couldn't finish her meal.I ordered a Margarita Pizza with homemade mozzarella and pecorino romano cheese and fresh basil with extra virgin olive oil. On top I added real sliced sweet sausage,outstanding pizza,will definitely order it again together with outstanding service see the before and after pictures. Well worth the trip.“

“Went there for dinner today. I had the Eggplant Parm, omg that sauce was amazing that meal was huge and so delicious. My girlfriend had the Shrimp Scampi and she said it was the best she ever had. 5 stars for this diner. Very nice, friendly, owner who is also the chef. We will definitely be back!!!“

“This is a great place to go to entertain the little ones. The food used to be delicious. However, something has changed within the five years. I cannot put my finger on it however it does not taste the same as before. Service is exceptional for a Chuck E Cheese. The atmosphere has been drastically updated. The only item I miss is the Chuck E Cheese band. The prices are outrageous yet that seems to be there norm now because of inflationParking: There is a huge parking lot since this Chuck E Cheese is located within a plaza.Kid-friendliness: Games are easy and fun to play. There are also games that offer a bit of a challenge. There is a dance area for the kids as well as a projection screen as well a multiple television so the parents and children can see what is playing from the projection screen. There are prizes that you can trade in tickets for to win.“

“We grabbed a bottle o wine from the liquor store 2 doors down and went to dinner. The place was clean and set nicely with cloth table cloths and cloth napkins. Our waiter Peter was professional, courteous and attentive to our needs. I had the grilled seafood combo which was fantastic (and I'm from Massachusetts so know seafood). We also had the galic breas with cheese which was excellent. The chef presented us two complimentary mini cannollis which were obviously freshly filled and tasty. A 5 star experience after a 7 hour day driving.“

“A cosy place with a great selection of delicious dishes that remind me of my childhood. It's a great feeling when food brings back sweet memories. My favorites are phali, chkmeruli, and lamb shish kebab and khinkali. The owner always makes us feel welcome as if we're guests at her home.“

“I was looking to have a small lunch after my son's communion and pretty much every place I contacted was like "4 hours and $80/pp" which is more money and time than I wanted. On a recommendation I contacted Pasquales Brick Oven on Ryders in Milltown and for MUCH less they gave us their side room for 30 people and it was FANTASTIC! It's BYO so we brought some beer and wine and they set up wine glasses and gave us more delicious food than I can even say-everyone went home with dinner for a few nights! Service was impeccable and I would recommend anyone having an intimate party check it out.“

“Rustoni's is well loved by everyone at our branch. The wraps are to die for. Even just a simple chicken Caesar wrap or the chicken parm sandwhiches all come fresh and delicious. When he brings lunch we immediately know because the whole break room smells amazing!! The TD Bank family definitely recommends Rustoni's!!“

“If you are craving a desi pizza then do try at this place as well.I tried Bombay Garlic Paneer PizzaWill be trying Tikka Masala Pizza next time- They do recommend as well, if asked- They do make a half and half pizza for large pizzas. It would be grate of they can make do it in medium size as well“

“So I just moved to the area. For the most part pizza is awesome. They just have to let it actually cook. I don’t like non- crispy pizza. Other than that pizza is A1.When we first went for take out. I didn’t have such a great experience. However this last time for delivery changed that.“

“We love Sal’s over at my job in Cranbury. All the employees are friendly and accommodating; we even had one of them who delivered a catering order to us offer to set up the table and food — so thoughtful. Food is always delicious no matter what you get. Always fresh too!! Sal’s is always one of our first options because we know we’re always guaranteed an amazing meal and experience!!“

“This is a great place to go eat at because of the nice wall paintings they have and just the vibe is so homey and welcoming. take out is great too. i have had the pizza, the tacos, the sopes, and let me tell you you cannot go wrong with anything on their menu. it’s just too good. now if i really wanna put my food reviewer cap on i have to say there is one thing that is off, and that is the prices. the amount of food that you get for the price is crazy. they make sure that you are full and have left overs ?‍? love it keep doing what you’re doing ??Kid-friendliness: great place to bring kids“

“Please do not be mistaken, this is REAL PIZZA! I felt like I was in Brooklyn eatin a slice with each bite! Let's starts there. Next it's a very/ well put together establishment, I love how the inside has all of the different Brooklyn neighborhoods listed up top. Very clean, and well kept for sure. The service was top tier to match the food. I don't come to Freehold often but will definitely visit my next time down these parts, and plan to visit their other locations up north near me!“

“Yesterday, we visited for an early dinner, a spot we've frequented many times before. Unfortunately, the meal we ordered didn't meet our usual expectations. However, the exceptional part of our experience was the owner's response. His graciousness and attentiveness was remarkable! With the owner's guidance, we opted for another dish from the menu, and it was absolutely delicious! To us, not only is the food important, but also the way a customer is treated, and in this aspect, the owner truly excelled. A heartfelt thank you to the owner for their exceptional service. Thank you Jill and Joe“

“Cafe Amici is a wonderful Pizzeria. Nice atmosphere and great customer service. The young lady at the counter is very professional, courteous and efficient. The new owners are friendly and show interest in providing exactly what customers expect. I appreciate the staff at this restaurant and their effort to serving satisfying lunches and dinners.“

“One of the best places to grab cheesesteaks and subs in the area. Solid pizza and great entrees as well. They are my go to stop for subs (#3 extra oil & vinegar), cheesesteaks, and lasagna. Oh, the simple spaghetti with meat sauce is another hit!“

“Pizza Margherita is The Best I’ve ever had in Jersey. Grilled Chicken is delicious. Salad is crisp and fresh. Cheesesteak hot freshly made exactly how I ordered it excellent flavor. Even the French Fries are delicious. The kids enjoyed their Plain Cheese Pie too. Maintenance of Restaurant atmosphere is clean with high standard. Professional friendly staff helped me bring everything to car. Thank you kindly PJ’S!!!“

“The most amazing pizza and Italian dishes you will ever eat! Super fresh and always delicious! The owners are the sweetest and truly make you feel special every time you visit. We’ve been customers since they were located in the Meyers parking lot, however, we’ve moved in the last few years and are unable to get our fix of Bella La Pizzeria greatness since. We travel over 3 hours for the best pizza and meals because the food is that delicious! I’m sitting here in heaven this evening enjoying a slice of their perfect pizza. Yummmm!!!…….“

“Ordered a large pepperoni and sausage pizza with a side of calamari. The pizza quality never fails and is always tasty with the right amount of sauce, toppings, and cheese. The marinara sauce for the calamari is clearly made from scratch and took me by surprise by how fresh and homemade it tasted.Their staff were also super attentive and helpful in bringing out the food for tables, packing leftovers, bringing utensils, and water.“

“Was a fan of bubbas no more went there wed to eat ordered a bar Pizza six wings and house salad 40 minutes later no food a server comes with food goes oops not yours really will never go back to many kids as servers and wait time for food ridiculous today's world“

“The wait was long, but what do you expect on a Friday. Especially with no reservations. It was amazing. The sushi rolls, Christmas, shrimp tempura and Hawaii were delicious. The Asian ribs on the appetizer menu. Amazing. Everything we had on the appetizer menu was done. We were full and then ordered some sushi. The drinks were strong. But they adjusted it to our liking. I'll server was great and the bartender was amazing.“

“I don’t know that it’s the best New York style pizza place, but it’s my favorite. We stop every time we visit my wife’s family because I always want white pizza and ordering one in Florida is like picking up sushi at a gas station.The employees are top notch, and I know they go out of their way to take care of my MIL and make things special/fresh for her.Vegetarian options: Veggie and plain options availableKid-friendliness: Kids love pizza!Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space in the shop if you’re in a chair“

“What a little gem this spot is. I usually go to Pino’s to pick up a 6 pack every now and again and was always somewhat skeptical of them serving pizza, what a mistake on my end.I ordered online and picked up in person, pizza came straight out of the oven upon arrival, timing was impeccable.We went with the tried and true pepperoni and for the first time in a while I was thoroughly pleased with how the pizza turned out. The crust is crispy and thin but just thick enough to prevent flop, no excess grease running down your face, and the perfect cheese to sauce ratio.We also ordered a cheesy bread because why the hell not, and yet another pleasant surprise! Crispy cheese bits on the ends of the bread with a mild garlic flavor throughout. It put any and all other cheesy breads I’ve had to shame.Will definitely be the first place I go when I’m craving pizza around here.“

“I saw this place and stopped in. It was very clean and had a good parking lot size. The restaurant inside is rather cozy and the pizza was fantastic! I ordered I think a shrimp scampi slice and it was really big and very filling. I would definitely go back here again, the people were also very nice.Parking: They have at least 10 spots in the front shared with a barber shop and a ravioli place, and then tons more parking in the back.“

“Originally a blacksmith shop and inn before turning into a tavern with the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. I may have been thrown out of here, several times. This bar is proudly #14 on NJ.com's Best Dive Bars list. I really like this place, wish it was closer to home. We used to find it by the giant satellite dish they had outside. I once tried to kiss a girl who worked here. She was so horrified she ran into the street. "Nooo..." Good times. Recently renovated before Covid. Bar top is lacquered plywood with a knotty pine fascia and walls. No foot rail but the floor is burnished (scorched) plywood. Stools are metal frame backed with cushion seats. Open 11AM to 2AM. Package goods available. Allegedly, there's a prison style two seater bathroom, sans privacy screen. More local history at keenbug.blogspot.comEvidence of billiards and electronic darts. Unused fireplace and hearth. They should should throw the Mp3 juke in the fire. Outside pen for smokers & dining al fresco. I'm told they have better food. I've seen the new menu and it looks like standard bar fare with a few salads thrown in to confuse you. Still, I miss it so...keenbug.blogspot.com/202…“

“As someone born and raised in New Jersey, I can tell you I’ve tried about a million different slices of pizza. What I’ve found is there are 2 types of pizza: good pizza, and fast pizza. Occasionally, you’ll come across a place who has managed to craft a perfect 50/50 split. Though rare, it is possible. I moved to this area about 3 years ago, and I have tried nearly every pizza joint in a 10 mile radius.When Nana’s came along, I was skeptical, as I had found a regular spot with decent enough pizza and was pretty happy. But one fateful night, we switched it up and tried Nana’s. I can tell you: I will be ordering Nana’s for as long as I am within an hour driving distance. Whether it’s pickup or delivery, our pizza has always been fresh and just crispy enough. The garlic knots are light and fluffy with plenty of garlic. The sauce is to die for. The wings are never burnt, and the ratio of breading to meat is a healthy one. Everything we have ever ordered from Nana’s has been a grand slam. It just works out they’re a 5 min walk for me, too! (Though most days we order delivery any way because we’re Mets fans and we can’t risk missing out on a single minute of them losing)Love you Nana’s! Keep being crispy ?“

“Stopped here for dinner before a show at the Starland Ballroom. Plenty of parking and a ton of tables. Has an old-school Italian feel to it. Huge menu with a lot of classic dishes. Served warm bread before the meal with the option of olive oil and butter. They had a peach sangria special that was excellent. I tried the lobster raviolis and was pleasantly surprised. These weren’t your typical store bought pre-frozen raviolis. No sir. Fresh made and stuffed with lobster. The chicken Murphy was enough for two people! Amazing. Rest assured, next time I’m at the Starland I will be stopping back here before the show.“

“It was our second time there. The food is very fresh and authentic. Many traditional Italian dishes that are well prepared and presented. I had the seafood stew special which was excellent. It was $42 a little pricey but worth it. My wife had the eggplant Parmesan. It was excellent. We tried out the Jersey shore pizza. We thought it was very good.  Service was excellent. We have tried many different Italian restaurants and would definitely go back.“

“Have lived in the area for awhile and have heard good things about Brothers and finally had the chance to try them for lunch. I had a regular slice and a grandmas slice and they were both VERY good. Crisp crust and flavorful sauce. I will be back with the family to try other items.“

“Had pizza and wings on our move in day. First meal in Milltown. Pizza was ok. Not as good as what I'm used to in New York, Staten Island & Jersey City/Hoboken. Not terrible though- I would definitely come back. The crust was crispy and the cheese was good. Workers were friendly also“

“My favorite pizza place in New Brunswick. The vegan menu is incredibly extensive and delicious! The owner is so sweet, generous, and helpful. He's always willing to explain a menu item, chat with you ("where's the show tonight?") and make sure your experience is enjoyable. I can't say enough great things about Tata's.“
