14 Best Italian Restaurants in Princeton

“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.“

“Last night was our first time at Pastiamo's and our experience was fantastic from start to finish! The food was absolutely delicious -- Burrata, Gnocchi Pesto, Penne with Walnut Sauce and Rigatoni Ragu were especially everyone's favorites. The staff was polite, attentive, and so patient, even when we stayed past closing time. Thank you, Francesca and team for making our night so special. I highly recommend this restaurant, and our family will definitely be back!“

“Great food! Excellent service.“

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

“Great service, amazing cuisine!“

“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!“

“Contes pizza is one the best in the Mercer/Bucks county area. I give it a 8.99. Service was fantastic, the people are friendly and pleasant. I highly recommend going to Contes. I know we’re going back.“

“D’Angelo’s Italian Market has such a warm, welcoming vibe, and it’s the kind of place you look forward to visiting. Their homemade mozzarella alone is worth the trip... Pair that with their outstanding selection of imported pastas, and you’ve got everything you need to create an authentic Italian meal at home.

Feel like eating out instead? Well, D’Angelo’s has that covered, too. From their artisan sandwiches to their homemade sauces, delicious prepared foods, and amazing pastries, they’ve got it all. The store is well organized, and the customer service is consistently outstanding. Special shout out to Joe for always going above and beyond.“

“They have the BEST fresh made Minestrone soup i've ever had. I judge other restaurants quality by comparing to Valentino's. It takes a moment to heat up....as they include more fresh vegetables at time of ordering. Unbelievable! Oh, and their salad bar I also find impressive.Can't comment on pizza.“

“Came here with my girlfriend as we are trying breakfast sandwiches in the area and I was pleasantly surprised. The sandwiches are the best we've had in the area. Everything was freshly made and with real ingredients. The bacon in particular was obviously just cooked for the order. The roll was fresh and everything was well seasoned. Overall, I highly recommend!“

“Food , service , ambiance was wonderful .“

“Great friendly staff who make fantastic tasty mixed drinks and serve delicious food.“

“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?“

“🥯 🥯 🥯 Located right off of Harrison St. in Princeton, the Bagel Nook is pumping out delicious bagel combinations and wild cream cheese options. It was our first time visiting and we were slightly overwhelmed with all of the options. We opted for an egg and cheese on hash-brown bagel, pork roll, egg and cheese on wheat along with a rainbow bagel with cream cheese. The egg sandwiches did take awhile but was ultimately worth it. It seems a lot of the negative reviews are focusing in on the service. We experienced friendly service, but we did note it took a while for two egg sandwiches. It would be nice to have these
options closer so we could try some
of the wild combinations like fruity pebbles, doritos, oreo cream cheese, and cheetos. The bagels were delicious - def woukd recommend!! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐“
