“amazing food !! Marcelo always makes you feel like home I love their fresh pizza“

“My family and friends very recently had a Celebration of Life memorial dinner there and they could not have been more accommodating. The food was great and the staff were there attending to all our needs. I highly recommend Romeo’s for any occasion. You won’t be disappointed!!!“

“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!“

“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.“

“food was outstanding! Service was impeccable! Everyone on out party had to taste each other's food because we all raved about how delicious it was! Can't wait to go back!“

“I was visiting New Jersey from Miami Florida and I’m so glad i found this little Italian spot. The quality of food is incredible and worth the drive and price. Big portions and packed with flavor. It’s a hidden gem that only locals know about but I did some digging and I’m so glad i found it. The server was funny and down to earth her name was 10/10“

“Excellent service by Jason and awesome food“

“The owner Sal very pleasant , the food is great , I recommend it to anyone who enjoy good food , the service is great , no matter what time is , lunch or dinner .“

“Stopped for lunch with hubs and friends. We we're looking to share a pizza, this is NOT that place. Yes, personal size for dine in. We opted for sandwiches. 2 ordered the roast pork, broccoli rabe, sharp provolone and both finished and raved how delicious 😋 Other 2 of us ordered the cheesesteak with LTO, red wine vinegar and olive oil, I added light mayo. The rolls these sandwiches were served were fantastic 😋 The sammies were NOT "packed" with fillings like a cheesesteak joint. Nicely presented with homemade potato chips. Quality of ingredients is huge because I can't eat a lot. The red wine vinegar and olive oil was top notch. I use red wine vinegar almost daily 😋 I would definitely go back for the same meal, about 1hr from my home and worth the trip 😋“

“We had a group of 8 and we all had some really nice meals. We were in Princeton area for a horse show and we really enjoyed our time here. We will be back“

“I write reviews when it matters and only to help others. This place stands out on so many levels, but for me, service is everything and thanks to Gina it was beyond exceptional. The food, amazing and authentic. Can't wait to make this place a regular spot.“

“Excellent food and service. My new favorite restaurant.“

“Celebrated my wife's birthday last weekend. Food was delicious, service was excellent...we will be back!!“

“We recently hosted a Sweet 16 party here, and it couldn’t have been a better experience! From the very beginning, Francesca (the owner and chef) made everything so easy. She personally helped us plan the menu and was so accommodating with all of our requests — it really took the stress out of planning.

The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was fresh and full of flavor, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing everything was.

The staff was just as wonderful. Everyone was polite, attentive, and genuinely kind. Our party ended up going past the restaurant’s closing time, but the team was so patient and gracious, never making us feel rushed.

We’re so grateful to Francesca and her staff for helping make this celebration so special. I’d highly recommend this restaurant to anyone — whether you’re planning an event or just going out for a great meal. Our family will definitely be back soon!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“I love the food at Lola's its fantastic! The service is great! I highly recommend ?“

“Came here for lunch. Relatively quiet bc it was lunchtime on a Wednesday. Waitress was friendly. I ordered the cauliflower pizza with broccoli. I dont know how they do it but the cauliflower crust tasted like a regular pizza crust. Delicious! Typically priced like all other restaurants. I did like that the menu offered half sizes for lunch and full sizes for dinner. We live in NY, the food was just as good as Staten Island Italian restaurant food. Will def come back to try for dinner.“

“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“

“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“

“I am writing this review specifically to compliment the server Ritchley Junior M who not only displayed a gentle demeanor but was very welcoming and asked us every now and then if the food was good or we needed anything. We ordered minimal food like rigatoni pasta with five cheese marinara and breadstick with salad and felt very satisfied with our dinner with good potion of serving.“

“Thank you Dolce & Clemente who catered one of two Thanksgiving celebrations! Joe and Bella worked magic to help me create the most delicious menu—one that skipped the traditional dishes but still felt festive and perfect for the occasion. They not only delivered a meal that wowed everyone, but they also kept me from completely losing my mind while planning. I didn’t take enough food photos to do it justice., but trust me, it was unforgettable. The food got rave reviews all around. My 7-year-old great-niece inhaled three mac & cheese bites and made sure to take a fourth home. Meanwhile, my nephew—who doesn’t like pork (except bacon)—commented how great the “turkey” was... only to learn he’d gone back for seconds on a pork loin in garlic, white wine glaze! Dolce & Clemente nailed it from start to finish. If you’re considering catering for a big event, look no further. Thank you to Joe, Bella, and for making this celebration such a success! #dolceandclemente Dolce and Clemente's Italian Gourmet Market“

“Today was a cheat day for me to enjoy carbs. I am traveling so i did a quick search for an Italian/pizza place near me, and found this pizzeria. So glad i did.. the meatballs melted in your mouth with a delicious sauce accompanying. Our table also enjoyed a meat calzone, gnocchi and a rice ball ( all freakin delicious!!). Our server was spot on, friendly and attentive to our experience. It doesnt get any better than this. 5 stars. Highly recommend“

“Excellent pizza 🍕 and a abundance of choices to select from - new to the neighborhood and I think we found our new pizzeria“

“Delicious Sicilian. The big, greasy slice of sweet sausage was good, too, but I wish I'd opted for a plain cheese to get a better sense of their style. Friendly staff. I overheard the cashier talking with another customer and apparently the place is under new management. With a Stewart's Root Beer plus a credit card fee, the total came to over $15. I went during lunch on 7/14/25 and it was only a little busy. #YouWannaPizzaMe?“

“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!“

“Our first visit to Stone Terrace was a good one. The calamari was excellent. Our entrees were generous portions and very well prepared (crabcakes and the snapper over risotto). We had an excellent bottle of Barolo that was fairly priced. For the overall value, we will definitely return.“

“I absolutely love ordering from this restaurant. This is the only place that I will order my pizza from since I moved to the area. Anything that I have ever ordered from here has been absolutely delicious!“

“Super friendly staff. I loved my egg and cheese on a Keizer role sandwich, they serve breakfast all day long. Good trendy place to sit. Would recommend to others.“

“They are the very best around! Never miss. Great for catering too. Get a slice, get a sandwich, a pie or a dinner, it's always great. I love the owners!“

“Grate customer service, quick and delicious. We Love it!“
