50 Best Italian Restaurants near North Brunswick

“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“

“The food is exceptional, and the service is equally as impressive. I love the generous portion sizes at reasonable prices. I usually get the chicken Alfredo pasta or strombolis, both of which never disappoint. The pizza is consistently delicious, with a perfect balance of crunch and softness. Highly recommend!“

“This is my favorite pizza place to ever exist and the workers always answer and are nice. My boyfriend tried this place for this first time and I told him it was the best pizza place he will ever eat at and he didn’t believe me. Then a few days later he said it really was the best pizza he ever had. You need to try this place. I wish they would open more chains in talent states because nothing compares“

“Nichelle was our gracious server. Our first visit to Terza was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting—but it was our server who truly made the night unforgettable. Attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind, she guided us through the menu like a seasoned storyteller, making every dish feel like a must-try. The food? Divine. The service? Impeccable. We left already planning our next visit. Terza, you’ve set the bar high!“

“Great place to have delicious food at good prices . The waitstaff was sooo friendly“

“everything was amazing!!! we will be back“

“Moved to the neighbourhood a couple of weeks back and were looking for a nice place to eat... we found Girasole within walking distance and it exceeded our expectations. The staff were attentive yet not overebearing and the food was delicious. Pointing out that I do cook... and well... so it is nice to find a place that I can enjoy without thinking "I could have made this better at home". Definitely be coming back and soon!“

“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!“

“What a truly spectacular evening from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, everything felt special. The portions were absolutely perfect — generous without being overwhelming — and every single dish was unforgettable. We’re still talking about the food today. It’s so special to see a place run with so much heart, passion, and care. We are so grateful for such an incredible experience. Can’t wait for our next visit.“

“I have been eating here for years. It’s one of the best Italian restaurants in New Jersey. I have been lucky enough to take customers to many restaurants in NY and NJ and Vincenzo’s is one of the best around. The food and service is awesome. I recommend you going there.“

“I hosted my friend’s 50th birthday here last week and it was great! Mike the owner was super accommodating and made sure everything was set up when we arrived. The staff was amazing and even with the multiple checks we had with people sitting all over the place, they still got everything right!!!! The food is great with huge portions and everyone went home with leftovers. This place is a gem and we will definitely be back with more friends and family!“

“Great service, food, and location.“

“Food and service is great! Nice atmosphere and plenty of parking.“

“La Cucina is absolutely delicious. Always fresh and VERY consistent. I have never ordered something that wasn’t superb! They have the best halibut over risotto I have ever had. If you have never dine here before then you are certainly missing out. Cucina is our go to! Best food in town by a long shot 🙌🏼“

“Everything is the best!!! ♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟♥️“

“They are truly a tribute to a neighborhood business. Outstanding food, and customer comes first atitude. Congratulations !!!“

“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.“

“Great food, excellent service from Dennis Yusko in coordinating our catered party!“

“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.“

“Best food I've ever eaten. The atmosphere is wonderful.“

“I love family style dinner and enjoying an evening with my other half“

“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.“

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

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“5 Star all around, food, service, atmosphere and decor. Food is definitely fresh, light and filling. Delicious dessert too. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The food was absolutely superb! I had ribeye steak and the crème brûlée for dessert. The staff amazing and the owner such a wonderful delight. It was an amazing place! I give this place five stars! Thank you for the amazing dinner.“

“Great food and great staff“

“Was craving some yummy halal Italian in the area and came across this gem of a place. The moment you open your door the delicious smell of the food fills the air. Felt for some spaghetti 🍝 and meatballs. The food was fresh and amazing every bite of perfection alhamdulilah loved it! Glad I found it will be back again to try the pizza next! So many choices to choose from. I highly recommend this spot :) thank you“

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

“This past Saturday, 5.21.22, my family and I ventured out to Cucina Mandreucci, for the first time since covid, for my niece's college graduation celebratory dinner. We have been here before for other special family occasions, as well as for everyday family dinners. No matter whether you are a party of 20 or an intimate party of two, Cucina Mandreucci will treat you like family. They handled our rowdy bunch with ease. Jill, our server, and our busser (I apologize, but I forget his name) treated us like family. They remembered us from our last large family gathering three years ago, as well as from the last time I was there with my fiance and our four children. They remembered where we sat and what we ate; simply put, they (but especially Jill) made us feel at home, and welcomed us back with open arms. As if that were not enough, the food was, once again, outstanding! I am a picky eater, and that puts it mildly. Jill was ready for my crazy requests and substitutions. She, and the kitchen, handled it all like pros. As if our large, rambunctious party were not enough to handle, we actually forgot a to-go meal for a family member who was unable to attend; we put that request in as we were paying the bill. Not four minutes later did that food come out of the kitchen ready to go. When I tell you this place has their stuff together, that is the truth. This is my favorite restaurant in Middlesex County for sure, and of course we'll be returning!“

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

“My server, I believe his name was David, gave us the best restaurant experience we could ask for. Consistently coming back making sure we had drinks and the amazing breadsticks. He talked us through the menu and gave good suggestions that we ended up loving! Very good experience overall a little pricey but will come back in the future.“

“Every year we take a trip or two to come to this restaurant from Rochester NY ! One year we brought friends of 12 people and went to make reservations and they were full ! Once I told them who we were and we come every year they went above and beyond and got us a private table in the back by the street and accommodated all of us no problem ! Everyone loved it there AND one of their waiters is from where we are in NY it was great to have conversations with him ! Can’t wait to go back again . The mixed drinks as in the mojitos are my favorite! The oil for dipping is perfect !“

“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.“

“love the place, love the people. George is always awesome and the food is excellent and modestly priced. all my guests always love it.“

“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!!“

“amazing service food honestly like top notch italian restaurant and its a pizzeria. would rather eat here then 5 star restaurant. food never disappoints“

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

“Brought my girls soccer team in this afternoon to celebrate our 1st place soccer season. Great service, pizza was good and John was very helpful.“

“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!“

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

“Great place, BYOB“

“I haven’t had Olive Garden in a minute but my mom kept seeing these Olive Garden commercials and she was craving it. Tonight we finally made our way to Olive Garden! My sister and I decided to get the never ending soup and salad and breadsticks. You can never go wrong with Olive Garden’s salad and breadsticks. We also got the spinach artichoke dip and the lasagna fritta appetizers. Our food came out nice and hot. One thing I love about Olive Garden is that it is reasonably priced and the service was amazing at this location. Our waiter was Daniel and he was so sweet! We loved his energy and how he served our table. He was very attentive and I can see why he would get selected to train a new waiter. He was training Sofia who was also very sweet. Having great service definitely makes the dinner experience. I can see why this location is still up and running.“

“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“

“Love this place! Fast delivery always, and everything is delicious!“

“Usually pick up pizza to go never disappointed in the quality and service.“

“hi everyone yes I stopped by Kings Pizza many of times they have a good service they're super clean friendly people they always ready to figure out what exactly you wanted to order very good place I completely recommend it“

“Wow! This is the best Mr subs location! East Brunswick has the best crew. They go above and beyond every single time. Definitely get the angry bird! They also have the Best Italian sub ever! Staff recommended to add bacon and banana pepper and it was DELICIOUS!! WOWWW“

“Stopped in prior to going to a basketball game at St Thomas Aquinas. The pizza was delicious and the owner brought out a free sampling or his penne all vodka. This will be our new go to spot for eat ins and pick ups.“
