Zero stars. Made a reservation and they told me it was for an outside table which it definitely was not. It had rained and was all wet outside. The hostess said “we have the bar, what do you think about that?” I said I think we’ll be leaving.

T54! For many, well known..for us a find!. The ratings are well justified. Thanks to Mario for such a warm greeting..and fun conversation..Sat at the bar for drinks and sampled the best appetizers...Foccacia genovese, clams in white wine sauce, eggplant parmigiana and the most wonderful baby artichokes!...Kiki's bar service could not have been more attentive and the evening was topped off with Massimo's fantastic desserts..and his warm and friendly chat. Next trip - soon - is to dive into the whole menu...An hour drive is nothing to have one of the best meals one could imagine...Many thanks..

Went for a date night, our server was lovely! We got the $35 locals menu, which tonight included a bruschetta, chicken parm, and a choice of sorbet or gelato for dessert.
Bruschetta was delicious, however, the chicken parm was extremely underwhelming. The sauce tasted like it came from a can, which isn’t itself the worst thing in the world, but with the price I would certainly expect more flavor at least. The pasta wasn’t homemade, and the chicken itself was good, but again, not the type of food I would expect for the price. Also, was kind of expecting more than just chicken parm for the locals, ya know? A little bit insulting 😂
Drinks were delicious, and we were given a free glass of wine for waiting, so that was nice. Overall, great atmosphere and service, but the food wasn’t what we hoped. Like a previous review said, skip the mains.

Been to Italy dozens of times. The food at T54 really follows the fine Italian traditions of superior ingredients and flavorful and artistic preparation. Wonderful food, attentive service, great cocktails and wine choices. A long drive for us, but worth it! We'll be regulars!

12 of us were there on a very hot pm a few weeks ago - friend’s birthday - everything, from stuffed zucchini blossoms to the pasta bolognese to roasted chicken was superb. Wait staff very attentive, Massimo charming. And the room temp was excellent. Highly recommend!

The ambience is nice and the staff was friendly.
Unfortunately, we still had a very unpleasant experience. Everything took very long, the food came after one hour, and others had to wait even longer.
Also, the food wasn't good at all. Both our dishes, though different ones, got burned. Otherwise they did not had much taste. This was very disappointing, especially in consideration of the relatively high prices.

Atmosphere was nice and aesthetically please.
Service was painfully slow where every course toon an hour to come. Even for our drink, we waited roughly 40mins.
I ordered medium rare and the meat was burnt on top while quite uncooked inside. Burger had no taste except for burnt uncooked meat.

The sticky ribs were amazing. The bread wasn’t toasted enough and the sauce was subpar. I would not recommend the pasta on the wheel (too much alcohol and flavors are off but looks cool and do not get the prawn get the chicken) and the chocolate flourless cake (cold and could barely cut through and bitter) and desserts took a while to come out. Would recommend what my family got the lamb shank and bolognese and the gelato for dessert. The waiter and owner were super nice. The decor and furniture was quite nice

First time back since the old Deanna's. Poor job on the reno/new seating set up/ bar. Unless you reserve or get lucky with a specific few tables, the rest aren't properly spaced. Need to lose about 4 tables but even then it's a terrible ambience. Service was unorganized but when we finally got assigned a server she as fantastic. Highlight of the meal (Nicky). Food was good but had higher expectations. Will go back to try a few other dishes and keep an open mind. (But will make sure to request a corner table!)

This is the third time we have visited. The food and service is exceptional. A beautiful dining room with extremely friendly service.

A Truly Exceptional Dining Experience – One of Our All-Time Favorites
We’ve had the pleasure of dining at many incredible restaurants around the world, and this restaurant ranks right up there with the very best. Everything from the freshness of the ingredients to the flawless presentation and perfectly balanced flavors was simply extraordinary.
The standout dish for us was the Branzino-without a doubt the best we’ve ever had. It was cooked to perfection, delicately seasoned, and beautifully presented.
This restaurant is now firmly one of our top favorites, not just for the food, but for the overall experience. It’s a must-visit for anyone coming through Lambertville!!

Second time diner at T54. Did not measure up to first 5 star visit. Suspect this is an early reservation spot (we had a 7:45...prior was 6) as many of the specials were unavailable as were regular menu items that need to be fresh...oysters etc. The server was clearly new and getting to know the system but really was not ready to serve a table without closer supervision. Food delivery was very uneven...apps came out almost too fast and then a long wait for the main course...over 40 minutes. Not enough attention paid to water, drinks, or check delivery. Restaurant was much less than half full so it was puzzling. Food was all well prepared and seasoned although may have spent some time under a warming light as the fish was evenly hot and a bit dry...not like it was just taken out of the broiler. Still, would return again as it was a holiday weekend and that might have been some of the reason for the uneven experience.

We had an absolutely wonderful evening at T54 Restaurant & Bar last night! We came with two friends and our two dogs and sat outside—such a welcoming and comfortable setup. The staff immediately brought out water bowls for the pups, which we truly appreciated.
We started with the shrimp, oysters, meatballs, and charcuterie board—all of which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. For entrées, we ordered the burger, the strip steak, and the rigatoni bolognese, and every single dish was phenomenal. You can tell the kitchen puts real care into the food—delicious and beautifully presented.
Our server was attentive, kind, and genuinely caring, which made the experience even better. T54 has it all—great food, wonderful service, and a dog-friendly atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!
