“The food is AMAZING ALONG WITH THE SERVICE OF Melissa our waitress!!!!!!!“

“The most exceptional food, service, and atmosphere. This place, time after time, just feels like home from the moment you walk right in, and it quickly became my weekly go-to. The ambiance is remarkable, the family that owns the restaurant is incredible, and the servers are so warm and welcoming; it is so easy to spend hours at this restaurant, unwind, and lose track of time with the BEST espresso martini that will keep you coming back for more!!!! Not exaggerating!! And if you don't drink, the signature sweet & sour calamari (which blows me away every single time) will have you running back, and if you don't do shellfish/molluscs, then I guarantee there will be something for you here. There are weekly specials which keep things interesting. You wont come here just once lol
The easiest 5 star review that I have ever given. Highly highly recommend, if you can't tell !! Def a must try“

You cannot go wrong with anything, that even have a dessert and hot bar! Wow, the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.“

“We came with 6 kids (ages 2-7) and my GAWD was the staff patient! Despite the chaos we brought, the waiter/server still answered ALL of our questions and didn't skip a beat on details. And the food...Oh My Gawd, delicious is an understatement! I can't wait to return without children to actually get to eat my food at a slower pace. Do not walk here, RUN!“

“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.“

He sat down with me and curated a menu that leaned heavier on the vegetarian side. His employees who brought the food were friendly and set everything up for me. Lastly, the food was fantastic and all the rave. People are still talking about it who came! Thank you!“

“Two night's ago after my daughter, Lucianna, got out of her band practice for the Marlboro High School performance, Chicago, we stopped in to ask Renzo Kolenovic, if he had any pizza that Lucianna could provide to her classmates as part of a school assignment for the next day. Renzo asked, "When is your class?" Lucianna told him that it would start at 2 pm. Renzo said that he would make fresh pies and deliver them to the school. He did just that!!! Lucianna said that ALL of the students were able to enjoy this delightful, delicious treat that Renzo himself delivered to my daughter at Marlboro High School! Renzo Kolenovic is an upstanding citizen who puts our community, and especially our children above all else. If you haven't given his restaurant a try lately, you should really check out the new look!!! Very chic & appealing! Please let him know when you go that I recommended you give his place a try. :) (An extra special thank you to his wife, Azra Kolenovic, who made sure that the pies were made and delivered promptly, too!!!)“

“Their food and service were superb. My husband and I had this restaurant recommended by close friend and we were so glad for that recommendation! We went here for our first year anniversary and it exceeded our expectations. The seafood was fresh and the pasta was so flavorful. The desserts were also so delicious! Their carrot cake was amazing! Every recommendation our waiter Jose made was on point. Aside from the food, we had such a fantastic waiter who clearly enjoyed his job and did it well. My husband is from Northern NJ where they are known for Italian food, so if he was impressed than I knew it was a great pick for us. We will for sure be back!“

“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.“

“locale molto bello ed elegante. cucina ottima. straconsigliato!“

“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.“

“The food was so fresh and delicious and the portions were huge! What I was most impressed with however was how our waiter took the initiative to ask if anyone had any allergies when taking our order. My mom has a pepper allergy and usually will mention it, but never has a waiter/waitress taken the initiative to ask. We really appreciated that.“

“Amazing food, great portions and quality for price, friendly and personal able staff, quick service, clean and warm atmosphere. Highly recommend. Definitely make reservations“
