“Excellent“

“Celebrated my father's 70th Birthday party at Caffe Piazza. The owners son was absolutely amazing. Moving things around at the last moment to accommodate my guests. Very attentive to my children's needs as far as food and drinks. ( Very helpful when your hosting an event )“

“Excellent food served with gracious hospitality. Definitely a night to be remembered!“

“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.“

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

“Great local spot that consistently delivers. Their vodka rigatoni is a standout & is rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The seasonal specials are always worth trying as well. The location is convenient, the service is genuinely friendly, and everything feels welcoming and well run. An added bonus is the small market on site, which makes it easy to grab take-home items and enjoy their food later. A great place for both a quick bite and stocking up on quality prepared foods.“

“Delicious food, great service and nice ambience!“

“This place is a hidden gem . We were there the other night with 5 people and everyone loved the food they ordered. We have been there a couple of times since it changed ownership and it’s great. It seems to be empty except on the weekends and I have no idea why. Maybe because it’s a few miles out of town. It’s more than worth the drive in my opinion !“

“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.“

“My third time here , tonight I had the lamb shank fantastic service is top notch it’s a small place so kind of tight but I’m planning on being a regular“

“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.“

“Angelo’s never disappoints food fresh & yummy.“

“Great food! Excellent service.“

“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!“

“After many friends telling how good AMA is I decided to grab a pie and meatball parm sub to give them a go. My words will not give their food justice but it is delicious. Napoletan done the right way. Not to mention the owner is beyond good people. Greeted me outside while I was waiting for them to open and then offered me an espresso while my food was being prepared. We will most certainly be back.“

“Really good food and service. We really miss going but moved to Pennsylvania. However this spring we will be in more frequently.“

“Great service, amazing cuisine!“

“All .. salad pizza is my favorite“

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

“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!!!“

“Thanks for the great dinners. This is definitely my goto Italian take out or dine-in. BYOB is perfect too as I can bring exactly what I want to drink. Capisci! 😎“

“I absolutely love ordering from this restaurant. This is the only place that I will order my pizza from since I moved to the area. Anything that I have ever ordered from here has been absolutely delicious!“

“Just stopped in on a whim and it turned out to be our new favorite spot. This pizza is better than the best i've had in NYC and is phenomenal. The options are endless and their buffalo chicken garlic knot is a must eat. It's a beautiful shop and the owner is so kind and awesome. Brooklyn pizza has arrived in Flemington and it's 5 stars all around. We can't wait to try everything !“

“Rose and Joe run a top notch bakery. All of their stuff is fresh and delicious. If you want bread get there early though! It sells out quick! ❤️“

“Friendly service and fantastic pizza. What a variety to pick from! I highly recommend this place. I was in town visiting family and came at my sister's recommendation.“

“Food is awesome but it's the service that makes this place better than just good. Tonight my car wouldn't start and someone who worked in the restaurant came out in the freezing cold to help me. It reminds me that there are good people in the world. Thank you!“

“First time there with my sister and my wife... I will DEFINITELY return to sample something else on the menu... The mussels and linguini in white sauce was PERFECT!!“

“Jimmy out did himself tonight. A large pepperoni, mushroom, and onion pizza was what was for dinner. The crust was absolutely delicious-crispy yet fluffy. One of the best pizza’s I’ve had in a long time!“

“comimos una pizza de clens espinacas y ajos estaban 🤤 😋 👌 exquisita reconmedadicimo“

“These guys are the absolute best“

“The best pizza in Hillsborough. Not only do they have amazing pizza, they are consistently fast and on time with delivery orders. Pick ups are nice too because of how nice and friendly the staff is. Recommend this place to anyone in the area.“

“Delicious Sicilian. The big, greasy slice of sweet sausage was good, too, but I wish I'd opted for a plain cheese to get a better sense of their style. Friendly staff. I overheard the cashier talking with another customer and apparently the place is under new management. With a Stewart's Root Beer plus a credit card fee, the total came to over $15. I went during lunch on 7/14/25 and it was only a little busy. #YouWannaPizzaMe?“

“They are the very best around! Never miss. Great for catering too. Get a slice, get a sandwich, a pie or a dinner, it's always great. I love the owners!“

“I went to Olive Garden on 1st Jan 26 with my family. Our overall experience in dining out here was excellent. For one our server Jonah was very sweet and helpful that by itself helps add to the experience. Food quality, quantity and taste was amazing. I will definitely be going back to eat there“
