“We went last night to celebrate NYE at Rosie's... the food was delicious, however we did not get our dinner until 10:45. We arrived at 8:30. In fact, our table was last to receive each course of the meal, and it was just too slow. The bill for 4, with tip, was $650, which is too much to receive such poor service.“

“We were there several times. It was great. Service was great as well.“

“This was our favorite restaurant for years when we lived in NJ. We were in area last week (after 15 years). WOW - the menu, the food, the cocktails, the service and effort put into everything is still FABULOUS! Our dinner on Friday was so good, we ate there again on Saturday night. Thank you Dan and your entire team.“

“On Friday, I came across an article that this was voted number one in Sussex County New Jersey. I was intrigued. I love Pizza so much; unfortunately, for many years I had no desire going out for pizza because everywhere I went It was terrible. I’m born and raised in Milford, PA in Pike county. I fell in love with L&B’s in Brooklyn; but it’s been 17 years since I’ve been there last. Friday night I ordered the presto pizza two slices of it, and I fell in love after the first bite. The waitress and I’m sorry I forgot her name asked me what I thought and I loved it. It was incredible. My mission now is to try every pizza on the menu. That’s my goal finishing out 2025 into 2026 thank you thank you thank you. You have gained new customers, my husband and I. 💚🤍❤️“

We live about 50 minutes away but we will make it a point to return in the not so distant future.“

Their whipped cream is homemade and to perfection. Mangia and enjoy!“

“Really good. Pleasant outdoor seating. Loved the pretzel knots. Good beer, sweet potato fries for most part were good. Would have enjoyed a dipping sauce for fries and for my prime rib sliders drummies were good but could have used a sauce“

“Five’s all around for this amazing pizza! We have ordered whole pies and sometimes simply a whole mess of slices. Each time it’s delish! The owner & staff are so friendly & helpful. It’s a cozy seating area….which would earn a “5” if there were a few more booths! Give it a try….you won’t be disappointed ❤️🍕“

They go above and beyond to help you in any capacity that they can. I highly recommend Portofino either for lunch, dinner or any kind of event you have whether it is big or small. You can't go wrong with Portofino, I can't say enough great things about the staff and restaurant!“

“The best pizza in town Love this place. Authentic pizza and even custom made. It’s simply perfect 👍“

“I like La Vita. It’s a nice option amongst a town full of franchise pizzeria restaurants.
We get sliced meats there and love the beet salad with hazelnuts. I hope this is taken constructively and not as harsh or overly critical:

When I get one arancini I’m always offered one very small side of marinara and never have been charged for it. It’s about a tablespoon of sauce in a small condiment cup. Now two weeks in a row I’ve gone in and asked for four arancini. Last week I was given two cups ( or tablespoons ) for four large risotto balls. Didn’t realize it till I got home. Today I asked for four arancini and was asked if I’d like marinara, said yes and was given one cup. I said I’d like one for each risotto ball and was told it would be extra.
That makes no sense. One condiment cup for four large arancini. Said I’d pay but explained my point.
Why not just increase the price 25-50 cents per ball and automatically include the sauce… and give a fuller cup of sauce ? It saves the unnecessary up charge which doesn’t make me feel good having to explain. Don’t know if I was charged because no receipt is ever given.

Also, the Caesar salad dressing has no flavor, it seems like no anchovy, lemon or garlic. Caesar dressing is a specific recipe and thought would be honored in such an establishment. Just offer authentic dressing and an “ lighter “ option.
Also, when I ask for it to go why is it dressing is on the side? It’s like romain lettuce from the supermarket in a box instead of a cellophane bag… just at a higher price.

And the porchetta meal I had recently-
while delicious was mostly fat and not much meat or fennel. Not a lot for the price.

Finally, I had asked for a caprese sandwich but said focaccia was too much bread and was offered a hero and said yes.
I know, I know… Hero’s are huge and I wasn’t thinking because I said focaccia is too much bread. But I said I didn’t want a lot of bread. So, a hero wasn’t a good alternative- and without olive oil or balsamic on the bread makes for a very dry sandwich even though the arugula was dressed nicely and the ingredients fresh and tasty. It’s too much bread for a tomato mozzarella and arugula sandwich. I ate everything except the bread. Was there a better option? Communication.“

“I loved this experience very good. The real tall blond lady helped me with my walker and walked me to the door. Such a kind and caring soul on gods green earth. Blessed thy heart!“

“Thank you so much for honoring our Nurses during Nurses week! We appreciate you! The food was delicious 😋“

“They catered our party this weekend and did a fantastic job! Lou is great to work with, the food was delicious and the server was on point! Definitely recommend!“

“i adore this place and the workers. everyone is so kind and the food is SO good. prices are totally reasonable! i frequent this place not only because it is local for me, but i am happy to eat it. come here if you have a chance, i’m sure you won’t be disappointed :D“

“Grabbed both breakfast (BEC PK) on a roll and then lunch (Sausage, Peppers and Onions) today, both were great. The breakfast sandwich was layered perfectly between the meat, 3 eggs and cheese that it came with. It wasn’t greasy and it also wasn’t falling apart when you were eating it. The Sausage, Peppers and Onions sub came on some really fresh bread, had a ton of flavoring and again, not greasy. Definitely would recommend if you are in the area and want to try something delicious on the go.“

“Great food, family friendly dining. Love this local treasure“

“Food was on point, The Tower appetizer would be better if the eggplant was fried, and crispy though. The outdoor area overlooking the lake was beautiful on a summer evening.

The outdoor seating isn't particularly comfortable, and it get a bit loud. Still, it was an enjoyable dinner.“

“I went to Pezzo Pizza with three children under 5, and the staff was just incredible. They were so, so sweet and accommodating — not always an easy task with little ones, I get it! I felt completely at home, and so did the kids. The food was really good too, which made the whole experience even better. It’s rare to find a place that makes dining out with children feel easy and enjoyable, but Pezzo Pizza really delivered. We’ll definitely be back!“

“We recently hosted a birthday part? W Franks pizza catering it .hoagies and sev platters everything came out perfect..very reasonably priced totally recommend for catering the chicken and padta dished..deluscious!(Thanks Franks for a great party!)“

“The food here is outstanding & delicious! You must try the Sicilian Grandma's Pizza. The crust was amazing as is how they make a Sicilian slice of pizza. It's the right balance of crust and fresh ingredients without it being overpowered with dough. The salad we had was delicious too. Everything so far we had here is just phenomenal as is the customer service, staff & owner. Definitely go and check it out!“

“I ordered Mike’s Special Pizza yesterday, and it is amazing! Reminds me of a combination of their Chicken Aurora Dinner (which I love) and their Grandma Pizza (so so good.) My kids also love the burgers here. I look forward to ordering again!“

“A Hidden Gem in Wharton That Keeps Getting Better!

This evening we had a truly wonderful dinner at Reno’s Pizzeria and Restaurant in Wharton, NJ. From start to finish, everything about our visit was top-notch. Our server, Shirley, was incredibly attentive—friendly, prompt, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. What really stood out, though, was that Reno himself came by to check in and ensure we were enjoying our evening. It’s not every day you see that level of care and pride from an owner, and it absolutely elevated the experience.

We started with two fantastic appetizers—the eggplant rollatini and little neck clams in marinara sauce. Both were delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. For entrees, we chose the mahi mahi in mango sauce special and the shrimp scampi over linguini. Each dish was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. Compliments to the chef—truly excellent work in the kitchen!

We ended our meal on a sweet note with the mini cannolis, which were perfectly crispy and bursting with flavor.

Although Reno’s (formerly Maria’s) has been a staple in town for some time, their recent expansion into a charming sit-down dining area has added so much to the local dining scene. It’s cozy, welcoming, and a perfect spot for a relaxed and satisfying dinner. Reno’s is a real asset to Wharton, and we’ll definitely be back! (PS It's BYOB!)“

“Thank you, George and staff Always aiming to make things right.“

“DELISH! I ordered a full tray of chicken Parm and of baked ziti. My family devoured everything and asked to take a dish home. Very generous servings and delicious. The phone order was soooo nice and the delivery was timely. I would recommend for your next catering need.“

“Buffalo Chicken pizza with Blue Cheese drizzle was delicious. Great, friendly service...“
