16 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.“

“Homey restaurant with fresh handmade pasta, you can choose the type of pasta and then the sauce, they have good desserts and a good cappuccino, the atmosphere is very nice and the service is very good, it is a good place to go with your family and partner“

“Lobster Ravioli with Scallops in Vodka Sauce was delicious! Scallops were cooked to perfection. Sauce wasn't too salty. I didn't see much lobster in the ravioli, but they were so good. Parpadelle bolognese with ricotta also perfect. Took some home for the next day but a family member scooped it up for lunch ?. Definitely going back.“

“Great food! Excellent service.“

“Great service, amazing cuisine!“

“We catered from Lucy’s for fifteen guests. Not only did we receive support regarding quantity, they guided me through GF options. The communication and delivery were both smooth. Last but not the least, the food was incredible. Every last dish was visually appealing and pleasing to the tummy. Thank you.“

“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“

“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.“

“Until yesterday, my favorite pizzeria was the one by my house in Linden NJ. Pizza Village Cafe III. My best friend took me to Alfonso’s with my husband yesterday May 6, 2024. She’s a regular customer. Boy has she made a great recommendation! The spaghetti with mushrooms was excellent. My husband had a meatball sub. He loved it. The server was very attentive, talkative and very nice. Even the appetizer bread was fresh. I also had a salad that came with it. The prices were decent. The restaurant was no frills on the exterior but beautiful inside. The music I didn’t like as it was way before my time but was good quality for an Italian restaurant. My husband was on salt and fluid restriction due to heart failure. The salt content in William’s food was moderate and satisfactory. They measured his soda for me so I can record it. Definitely 5 stars! My new favorite! Heck it even beat the legendary Spirito’s of Elizabeth NJ! Looking forward to next time I visit my best friend. I’ll ask to return to Alfonso’s!“

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

“I had the sandwich special on focaccia- best sandwich I’ve had in a very long time time! YUM!!! Pizza amazing as well!“

“Service was good, large selection of salads and Italian food. Prices are reasonable. The only reason I'm not give them 5 starts is because of my sandwich... I ask for sausage parmigiana Hero and the sausage taste good, but the bread was testing awful, old bread... also it was very messy, my wife ask for tortellini pesto salad and that one taste great! Seems the bread thy are using is for days before... I will give them another try and will see if they take in consideration this review!“

“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 .“

“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.“

“Not your average Bagel shop. Me & my daughter took a road trip ( a little over an hour one way) to check it after after seeing a tik tok about it. It surely did not disappoint ! It is bagel heaven.
Everything from Maple Bacon , Apple cider, Cheetos , Cocoa Puffs & Fruity Pebbles bagels to your simple plain, cinnamon raisin. & rye bagels .

The spreads are a whole other story and the combinations are endless. I had a cinnamon bagel with Nutella team cheese spread & my daughter had a plain bagel with birthday cake, cream cheese spread. The bagels tasted so fresh and so delicious. We will be making a trip back very soon.!!“
