“Excellent food, excellent service and excellent atmosphere. I promise if you try this place, you will be extremely satisfied and for sure you will go back again! This restaurant serves the best Italian food in Staten Island.“

“We highly recommend Patricia's of Holmdel. We have frequented this establishment with our immediate family of 12 for birthdays, celebrations, and more! The environment is warm and inviting through its modern decor, enjoyable music, lighting, and seating. Tables are covered with white clothes and seating is comfortable whether inside or out. The location is well maintained and clean. The pricing is average for fine dining. The entire staff is exceptional. We enjoy all pleasantries with the staff members. It is evident that care is placed in choosing the staff. Each is professional, personable, and thorough. They make us feel like VIP every time we go, especially when John N. is our server. John N. is extremely knowledgeable of the inner workings of this establishment. We have severe food allergies and dietary restrictions. John N. illustrates such compassion towards us. He is diligent in keeping us safe, and keeps open communication with the chef when we are present. He is so kind and fun, too, in such a way that he feels like a family member. While eating at Patricia's it feels as if we are transported to a family dinner in Italy. Between the welcoming ambience, pleasant staff, and delicious food, we (without hesitation) highly recommend Patricia's of Holmdel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Fun atmosphere, delicious food. Our waitress Staci was great! We will be back.“

“This was my first time here. I'm visiting from Pennsylvania. It won't be my last. We ordered dinner to go. We had Chicken La Nonna, and Housemade Rigatoni. Everything was light fresh and delicious. The portions were large enough to have some for lunch tomorrow. Fresh bread was excellent. Now let me tell you about the Creme Brule cheesecake. I can't. It was so good that even I am speechless. I may have to go back tomorrow for another piece. Absolutely delicious. The staff was very friendly and the service was great.“

“Amazinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn💯❤️“

“Absolutely love this place! Our waiter was amazing and very knowledgeable on everything on the menu. Yes EVERYTHING!! I personally don’t like beets but everyone I was with said they were to die for. Meatballs were amazing. The tomato sauce was so yummy. Mushrooms I would label as vegetarian steak. Beautifully charred. The sausage and peppers pasta dish is my favorite thing on the menu. I love everything about it. Pasta is always perfectly cooked. I can’t say enough good things about this place!“

“Giuliano’s Restaurant is a place where the food is absolutely fantastic. I’ve never ordered something that I didn’t love. The staff are all wonderful. From the first time you walk-in the doors they make you feel like you’re part of their family. I highly highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Had a dinner party for my daughter . Jimmy and Marco were super accommodating. Everything was perfect . Never felt rushed . At end of night had guests lingering and waitstaff was very understanding . Thank you again for our 4th celebration there .“

“We had our daughters Sweet 16 dinner there last night with about 30 people. Everything was perfect! The staff was attentive, the food was delicious and the prices are just right. This was our second time here and we will continue as customers.“

“We have been getting food from here for years and it never disappoints. From the friendly delivery (our dog invites Bob in every time for pets) to the amazing pizza—you can’t beat it! Last weekend our son graduated college and we used Slices of Hope to cater our family party. Three of us, myself included, have to be gluten free which always makes getting catered food a challenge. I’ve always loved the gluten free penne with vodka here, so I went in and met with Eddie figuring I’d just get the three us the pasta and everyone else could enjoy the rest. I was so surprised when Eddie told us that he could make us everything I ordered for the rest of the party gluten free and would even keep it separate to avoid cross contamination! My mom (who has celiac) hadn’t had eggplant rollatini in 10 years and said it was the best ever! We had food for the entire weekend and I can’t thank you enough ❤️ Katy Kokolus“

“Undici Taverna rustica is literally AMAZING. It expresses the passion and the food&wine knowledge of Vic. it has been unbelievable have a dinner there, 16 hrs of flying to enjoy one of the best pizza I have ever had, even better than a lot of pizza in Italy.“

“The food and service was second to none. The staff very attentive not over bering. A comfy cozy atmosphere. The restaurant is BYOB this is a plus. The portions are perfect size. I can't find enough good to post.“

“Went to Osfizio last weekend and it was great! The food was so good, the waiter, and all the staff were so nice and polite. There were food options for everyone. Willie was our waiter and he went above and beyond for our table. Will definitely be returning! 10/10“

“Delicious food and huge portions! Our waitress Kate was amazing! Great Mother’s Day experience.“

“First time visiting tonight! The dining experience was great and the food is delicious! The service was very friendly! I'd definitely go again and recommend to anyone in search of a good Italian restaurant! :)“

“Regularly a Brooklyn customer and tonight stopped in the NJ location. I really enjoyed the food as usual. Julia was a great server and would definitely go back when in the area. Rob“

“We had a wonderful family dinner at Lava. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding!! We can’t wait to return!“

“Best meal ever, the duck was unbelievable as well as the carbonara. Our server Rob was the absolute best. Porcini has easily become one of my favorite restaurants!“

“I am so sad I have missed out on 20 years of living here and not enjoying this amazing food. I have tried 3 wraps now and have been blown away by every single one. My family has tried an array of sandwiches and we have not been disappointed. With the love that is put into each dish, I don’t think we ever will be. Best place to get Italian food in the area by far!! Everyone in there is also so nice and the food is ready pretty quick.“

“Alfredo and his team are masterful! Accommodating of a group that grew from 16 to 26. A son couldn’t wish for a better place to celebrate his mom’s 85th birthday!! The staff were attentive and very well spoken… while I heard they do take out, I recommend going there for the experience!!!“

“Amazing food with wonderful service“

“Wonderful evening, food was amazing,service was excellent“

“My favorite! Love their mushroom pizza! Always fresh! They use quality ingredients !“

“I hosted a family event at Via Sposito. Everyone was very pleased with our server, Jessica and the dining experience. The food was amazing and plentiful. We have dined there a few times prior to this and were always pleased with food. At our event everything was family style and there was a variety of food. The pizza and zeppoles were also great. They worked within our budget and offered a lot of choices.“

“We love this place! The homemade pasta is phenomenal! The service here is always outstanding and the drinks are fabulous! However, it gets very loud. Almost to the point where you can't hear the people sitting across from you. With that said, it never deters us from returning and the little almond biscottis they serve with espresso makes up for it!“

“A great local BYOB restaurant! Service was great and food is excellent! Give it a try!“

“Excellent food and service. A hidden gem.“

“Great food and service. Our waiter Tony was great“

“Dined last night at Little Buca for the first time and will absolutely be back very soon. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere was sexy/cozy, and the food was to die for. A must try Italian spot in Monmouth County that ranks as one of my favorites now.“

“Best restaurant in nj hands down“

“I was at a family affair at Angelinas on March 30 2025. I was so impressed with the food, service and atmosphere that I needed to express how amazing the experience was! The food was outstanding! If you are looking for true authentic Italian food, Angelina's is the one. I was so impressed with the service that I needed to shout her out. Her name is Ida, she is from Italy and she was amazing! She ensured that each person was taken care of throughout the event. It is very hard to find a restaurant with a rating of a perfect 10, but Angelina's is! Loved it!“

“Absolutely outstanding!! Great atmosphere, great service, and fantastic food from appetizers to entrees to desserts! Have been to the original in Brooklyn many times over the years but this was our first time at Gargiulo’s in Tinton Falls and it did not disappoint. Spoke to Theresa at the end of the night and she was very welcoming and sweet. We will DEFINITELY be back! Not one negative thing to say about the entire experience.“

“Antonio’s is our family’s favorite spot to grab lunch and dinner items. Every holiday we host has something from here as well. Their food is delicious and fresh. Every time we bring something to an event, everyone asks where it was purchased. It is extremely clean. The nicest part of this business are the people who run it. They always have a warm welcome and could not be more accommodating. Tottenville is lucky to have this neighborhood gem. Keep up the great work.“

“Wow what an AMAZING place. Service and Food were both outstanding. We definitely will return again. Thank you Giacamo for everything.“

“Food was good, service was great (Alex) . They charge you if you use your credit card and in my case my debit card. My biggest complaint is that the oysters were the size of my thumb nail, so skip the oysters.“

“Thank you to Rob and staff. Everything was great last night.“

“Great sandwich shop and good service. This team generally gets busy between 12:30 - 2 pm so if you’re in a rush, order earlier or wait later in the afternoon. I’ve never had any issues with my order or picking it up, and my sandwiches have always been made correctly. They use fresh produce and meats and you can tell. I recommend coming here.“

“Love everything about your restaurant. The atmosphere, your staff is a delight , the food is absolutely delicious!! Love , Love Love ❤️ See you very soon again !!!“

“We had the eggplant and rice balls it was delicious we will be going back great friendly staff I love the frozen cappuccino“

“Love this place!! I shop here all the time. Food is fantastic always fresh. The whole family is beyond nice. I buy all of my meat here. I use them for catering. They are the best!!! I always get compliments from guests when we cater our parties from there!“

“In my opinion, this is truly the BEST restaurant on Staten Island. It blows away some of the finest steakhouses in the world. They also make their own fresh pasta and bread daily. The staff goes above and beyond always to ensure your pleasure.

They have the most ❤️ BEAUTIFUL ❤️ party room too & host wonderful events/experiences.

If you need a GUARANTEED greatly successful meal/date/party/family gathering/wedding -
Trattoria Toscana is your best choice.“
