“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 love the food here at Mercato. Always fresh and hot. The portions are big. Plan on having the leftovers for lunch. The flounder francaise is amazing. The fish is so fresh.
They have a selection of deserts. A must go to. This is a hidden gem!!“

“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.“

“Smaller local Italian restaurant. The service was excellent considering how short handed they appeared to be. The garlic knots were unique and very good. Not an over powering of garlic. The pizza was great. Crust was light and airy. Loved the little air bubbles on it. Slight garlic taste in the sauce. Definitely recommended trying this spot.“

“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.“

“Food is good. & Excellent service from Nicole.Good to see people coming back to Tessara’s. A nice menu selection! A good place to check out !“

“Such a nice little restaurant. We were looking for somewhere to eat while heading out for the night and google had this place on the list. Italian food with amazing flavor!! Staff was wonderful, friendly, and helpful! Prices were mid range and great for two, but a large family might be a bit out of range. Portions size made up for the extra cost in my mind. Will go back next time we are in the area.“

“Great food! Excellent service.“

“The best tomato pie ever.“

“Good job! It really tastes good, and the service attitude is also very good.“

“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“

“Wonderful, Wonderful & Wonderful!“

“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“

“I have been a customer for over a decade. Maybe even two. Unpretentious place with outstanding food. They sneak in some great individual twists on various dishes while serving the usual hits.
I mostly get take out but have eaten in as well with great enjoyment.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 attended the most beautiful wedding last night at the Stone Terrace! Everything was done to perfection! Most of the staff seemed to be young, and I was blown away about how attentive they were. They were on top of every little detail, from serving hors d'oeuvres, to cleaning up tables, to refilling your water glasses, without even asking. I've never seen such a group of people work so hard and so efficiently. Everyone did a phenomenal job! The venue is absolutely stunning, as well as the outside patio, and where the ceremony was held. I've never been there before and didn't realize how much property and beautiful landscaping they have. If you are looking for a large venue in the Hamilton, NJ area, I highly recommend the Stone Terrace!“

“The best pizza place local to me. When you walk in it smells of as a traditional Italian grandmas kitchen. My boyfriend was craving pizza so I brought him here. He got the meatball pie. The face he made after eating the first bite was him falling in love with me all over again ?. This place also has amazing gluten free and vegetarian options. I recommend this place to all my friends. Tight indoor dining but they have a cute patio outback that’s much more spacious. I personally always do take out.

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and gluten free options“

“Thanks for the great dinners. This is definitely my goto Italian take out or dine-in. BYOB is perfect too as I can bring exactly what I want to drink. Capisci! 😎“

“Hello again Princeton, NJ. We love the BBQ chicken pizza and the other spicy buffalo chicken pizza, we had ours to go headed back on road trip....next stop Boston, MA! Sorry no pics, I didn't pick up pizza, another in my group went in. It was 98' HOT!!

Parking: Lots of free parking

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level but beware of new apartment construction next door“

“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!“
