50 Best Italian Restaurants near New Brunswick

“Drove from Cleveland to a meeting in NYC, specifically had a layover in New Brunswick, just to have dinner. This was my second trip for dinner in two months and it exceeded all expecations, the hoilday decor transformed the second floor. The service (Regan) was on point, pleasant and efficient with out being over bearing. The meal was the single greatest pasta dish I have had in the U.S. (wild boar ravioli) Already making plans to return, if you are with in a days drive, you really have no excuse not to enjoy a meal with them.“

“We celebrated our daughter's 19th birthday at Victoria's. Let me just say Vinny and team made us feel so warm and welcomed. The atmosphere reminded me of how restaurants used to be when I was a kid, growing up in NY. Top notch customer service and the icing on the cake.. food was amazing. We ordered appetizers including the baked wings and buttermilk fried calamari which was delicious. We had pasta dishes including carbonara, penne vodka and even gnocchi. All of which were amazing. As well as desserts . The waiter was amazing too. This is now our new favorite spot! Thank you Victoria's for a memorable evening ❤️“

We started off with the Salmon Risotto Balls as our appetizer which were amazing. Then we ordered Black Truffle Benedict, Iberian Connection and Black Truffle Gnocchis and washed them down with a refreshing glass of Peach Basil Iced Tea...so good. The ambiance was beautiful too. Will definitely be back.“

“We had an amazing meal a few weeks ago at Luca’s! We were greeted and seated and waited on promptly. We brought our own wine in which they had no problem opening for us. The food was out of this world. Their meatball appetizer is everything you’ve heard and then some. Incredible sauce, bread service, and our meals were excellent. My partner had the octopus for an appetizer and said it was incredible. Both of our meals were amazing and served timely and piping hot. I had the chicken marsala with mushroom risotto, delicious! And he had the veal saltimbocca. The service was prompt, pleasant and just perfect, and the atmosphere is lovely. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Fabulous food, atmosphere and service!“

The staff was amazing and even with the multiple checks we had with people sitting all over the place, they still got everything right!!!!

“Food is fresh and delicious! Hats off to the Chef! Great atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“This spot is a hidden gem. I’ve been living in the area for about 15 years now and just randomly tried this place one day, and let me just say it not only exceeded my expectations but blew them out of the park. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is nothing short of simply the best. I would highkey recommend trying their freshly house made pizzas, they’re finger licking good as well as their pastas which are chefs kisses. I’m genuinely amazed at how not many people know about this restaurant. The owner is the sweetest woman I’ve ever met, we talked for 15 minutes just about her business it was 2 minutes before they closed and she offered me all of the left over pizza they hadn’t sold that day FOR FREE. I’ve found my new favorite go to Italian spot.“

“I recommend this place, food is good. nice environment.“

“my review is for the amazing pepperoni slice I just grabbed for lunch. it had a crispy, thin crust with no flop. the sauce was a nice balance of sweet and tangy. the cheese was not excessive, and the pepperoni wasn’t too greasy. I added pepper flakes and oregano because that’s how I like my pizza, but it would be perfectly delicious without it.“

“The food and service are always top notch! Wether you order a healthy salad, fresh sushi, American classics or any other item on the extensive & creative menu, Bistro 1051 will not disappoint. The service is always impeccable. The whole staff and the owner, Michael, are warm, friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy. I highly recommend for date night, lunch with friends and large events. This is one of my go-to restaurants in the Clark area. I’ve been a fan for well over 10 years!“

“This deli is almost hidden in a big plaza. It is a small spot but the food is delicious. The chicken parm with vodka sauce was good. The true test of a sandwich is the bread and the bread is the star of the show here. The pasta salad with grilled chicken was delicious as well. It had a vinegary dressing that worked. I would recommend you try if you are in the area.“

“Absolutely the best! The food was delicious--I had the seafood ravioli and it was to die for! Husband had a pasta dish, homemade pasta with a tomato based sause with short ribs--out of this world. Great service and beautiful atmosphere! Will be coming back soon!!!“

“Great Atmosphere! Service was amazing! Waitress was super nice and suggested good food! Ordered stuffed Ziti Fritta which was amazing appetizer, salad, chicken and Gnocchi soup were good, create your own pasta with rigatoni, chicken and five cheese sauce was also delicious. Stuffed chicken marsala that we ordered was average. Finally don’t forget the mint chocolate to finish it off. 😊“

“Loved it! The staff greeted us very nicely. Their food was amazing, and the dessert was delicious. Definitely will recommend people to come, and we will visit again!“

“Great food and great staff“

“Excellent food, the owner and staff are extremely friendly! Dusal's is my favorite Italian restaurant!“

“Good food in a friendly atmosphere!“

“Food is always good, people are friendly the only problem I had is outside of this. Today when I paid I used my debit card instead of paying cash like I have every other time this was around 12:15pm today. The employee made a big deal about it being a NASA Card (my mom worked at Nasa & I have had an account there since 10th grade) By 1:30pm someone had attempted to use my card for a $1,339 AT&T purchase that was declined three times then used some Delta D account to charge $799.60 and unfortunately the second attempt work. I just came from the location and and all I had was smoke blown up my but. Either an employee or patron did something and they have a camera inside the store but was told the owner has the key. If the owner would just let me know when he will be there I will show up and we can handle this like gentlemen. I have been going to this place for over 5 years and work near by. For the record the card has been cancelled and NASA is tracking where charges are being attempted from. Paul“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great food & service tonight celebrating a 50th birthday ! Family style hot & cold antipasto was delicious as well as everything else ! Thank you !“

“Nunzio’s is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was impeccable—warm, inviting, and full of charm. The customer service was in a league of its own; “amazing” doesn’t even begin to cover it. The staff was incredibly attentive, and their genuine kindness made me feel so welcome.

The owner himself, is the heart and soul of this place. He’s so humble, down-to-earth, and clearly pours love into every dish he prepares. You can truly taste the passion and care in the food—it was absolutely fantastic. Every bite left me wanting more, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

The prices are unbelievably reasonable for the quality of the food and the experience. Every dish I tried was worth every single penny, and I can only imagine the rest of the menu is just as outstanding.

This was the most amazing experience I’ve had in a long time, and I can’t recommend Nunzio’s enough to anyone in the area. Do yourself a favor and make this your next stop—you won’t regret it!“

“Food is amazing! Great staff, great service, and prices inline. Highly recommend“

“This is the best pizza in Warren !!! I been in Warren about a year now and couldn’t find good pizza in the city until I found this place and now Ive been going every week since !! If you looking for REAL ITALIAN PIZZA, this is the place. DONT hesitate! They have different choices/toppings everyday at a reasonable price and their menu is HUGE ! They make more than just pizza. But don’t forget to ask for extra cheese lmao ?“

“The owner and family are so wonderful. pizza is good.... everything that I've ordered so far has been very good“

“The establishment was quite pleasant. The cashier provided friendly service, and the premises were clean. The cheese tater tots were delicious. My visit extended beyond my initial expectations due to the quiet atmosphere; I was permitted to wait for my wife without interruption. I would certainly return again“

“Great place, BYOB“

“The service was ok. The food was as expected so no complaints there either. Overall the visit was mid, I prefer the one in Woodbridge if I had to choose, just gave more of a family vibe. However this one isn't nearly as busy as the Woodbridge location, so it was much quieter. I'd say the food came a little faster in this location but not by much, which was weird since it wasn't nearly as busy. Nonetheless no qualms and the food & service did what they needed to.“

“I’m visiting family in the area & after leaving the gym, I did a google search & this popped up. I read thru the reviews & decided to give it a try. I ordered “The Dom” & omggg, watching the gentleman make it, I was flabbergasted
seeing the mountain of meats & cheese. This is no ordinary subway type of sandwich. Before writing this review, I had to try it & it did not disappoint…AT ALL!!! (Macaroni salad was good too) The only downside would be I can’t share it w/my family member b/c her teeth are not good & although I liked the crispiness of the bread, I should have asked for a softer roll. I’m not complaining though, it was perfect for me! I’d say I’ll be back tomorrow to try something else but I’ll be eating this for the next couple days. 😁

The staff all worked together, helping each other out which was nice to see. The new lady who initially took my order…super sweet! Best of luck to u all & thanks for making my 1st time experience a memorable one!“

“Ordered one large pizza half pepperoni and half chicken and paid $27 that’s ludicrous! Definitely not ordering from there again. Pizza was average at best! Gotta do better Bonettis!!“

“Great place! We come back to NJ from Arkansas and love getting a meal in here!“
