“Stopped in to check out the place for a private party. Had a quick fancy drink, that was amazingly delicious! The owner is very friendly and the place is as clean as a whistle! Definitely coming back hereParking: Had to circle around a few times to find parking. Someone left so I was lucky!“
“The delicious black bean soup is loaded with flavorful veggies that have a delightful crunch to them, and just enough lime that you know it's in there. I turned mine from vegan to vegetarian with a little Cotija cheese. And that's lunch!“
“I discovered this place one morning when driving around the parking lot of a shopping center on the way to get breakfast. It's about 5 minutes from where I live. I decided to give them a shot later that evening... and man I wish I knew about it years ago! I've been missing out! Highly recommend this spot for their Vodka Pan Pizza. The best I've had in NJ. Garlic knots are also great. This is my 4th time ordering from them and they are always on point.“
“Came here with my boo, first time here and it was a great experience. Lamb chops came a little later than expected but besides that, Nicolas was a great server and made us feel comfortable from the start. Me and my girl will definitely come back and try out the rest of the menu.“
“My boyfriend made reservations to Del Porto to celebrate my 43rd Birthday. This was our 1st time visiting this restaurant. The restaurant is nicely decorated and very clean. The staff are all nice especially our server Fermin. He was very pleasant and always had a warm smile. Our food was very delicious from the appetizer, crispy eggplant ,to my main course Bronzino and to my Tahitian Creme Brulee desert. I loved this restaurant and my experience here. I would definitely recommend to all. Very nice and classy look.Parking: Valet parking is available.“
“Greatest little Italian restaurant on Hylan Blvd. Food- Fantastic, Service- Superb, Ambiance-Amazing...their pre-fixed menus are the best and the prices are absolutely wonderful. I just had my 2nd party there and Robert took care of the set-up over the phone while Chris and his people handled the rest on Sunday March 10th. What was supposed to be a small family dinner for the 4 of us for our daughter's 6th birthday, turned into a small party of 17...they even got us her cake which was delicious, super fresh & super cute. I highly recommend Giuliana's not only for a party but even a night out for dinner with the family if you're not in the mood to cook & clean up afterwards. Our 1st dinner party was August 1st after our wedding at city hall on Richmond Terrace, that was during the week and for 12 people. The price did not match the outstanding service and brilliant mouth watering taste of the food, we could not stop talking about & praising Giuliana's for days afterwards & could not wait to have another gathering there which we did to celebrate our daughters birthday. Ask for Robert...tell him the Calvano's (Michael & Stephen) sent you“
“Walked in, didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised. The interiors felt like a high-end restaurant, and the food kept up with it!The covered outdoor space was comfy and classy, with beautiful green art on the walls. The flavors, taste, and texture were really top-notch Italian food I've had. Highly recommended.“
“Very nice place, very easy going, the owner puts you at ease straight away, and it's like having dinner at a friends house, I recommend it to everyone because the food is very good. The quality of the food is high.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“The other night we went to Sapori for dinner. We walked in and were greeted warmly. The staff here is super friendly and very accommodating. They seated us at our table by a window. The restaurant has a warm, romantic vibe with beautiful art work. We were given menus which is extensive and you have a lot to choose from plus they also had specials. They bring out bread, eggplant caponata and butter. I thought it was really good and different than just the traditional bread and butter option. We decided to go with fried calamari for an app. It was perfect.. Very crunchy, fresh.. lightly seasoned! Served with fresh tomato sauce. A rather large portion to share. Next for dinner I had a special- pistachio encrusted Chilean sea bass with citrus glaze and roasted veggies and potatoes. This was such a delightful dish. The fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The pistachios were so good on top of the fish and the glaze balanced the dish. The veggies were crunchy and seasoned perfectly with garlic and butter. I really enjoyed this dish. The linguine with white clam sauce. Was fresh and extremely delicious. This dish was packed with clams and a ton of roasted garlic. I must say the pasta dishes are very large. Lastly spaghetti with marinara the sauce was fresh and we really enjoyed it. the spaghetti was more thicker like a bucatini. And unfortunately it was a tad under done. It needed a minute or two in the water to be perfectly al dente. Other than that this was a perfect dinner. For dessert we ordered the chocolate lava cake and tiramisu. It seemed like it was home made. Lava cake tasted amazing it was accompanied by vanilla ice cream. the tiramisu was light and not too sweet. Cappuccino was perfect not bitter or overly milky. By far I really enjoyed Sapori and I would def recommend coming here for dinner. The ambience, staff and food were extremely enjoyable! Parking in street. Small parking lot.“
“We absolutely love Due 360! Yesterday was our second time visiting and the service alone is impeccable(Luis, thank you for making the night even more special!), but then add to that the delicious food and ambiance makes for a perfect date night. We enjoyed the steak frites, octopus, garlic shrimp, and burrata! And the sangria was a perfect addition to our meal :) We will definitely be back again!“
“First time bringing my baby to a nice restaurant and not only was the table set up with high chair but there was a lot of space for the stroller. they were very accommodating. great service! My baby loved the bread! My family was very happy with the food.“
“First time visit to this restaurant. Our server Alina was exceptional - made great recommendations. The service was on point. The staff is very efficient. I loved my drink "Pineapple Jalapeno Mockarita". The crab cake, the best we have ever had - no fillers, just fresh crab meat. It's even better than the ones you get in Alaska. Other dishes we ordered including Branzino, Halibut were delicious as well. Portions are big. Next time, we are going to try the salads, we have heard they are great. Memorable experience. Would love to go back.“
“Absolutely amazing experience. Waiter was extremely friendly and attentive, food came out quick and looked beautiful. I came for the shakshusa because I saw it was very well rated and it definitely did not disappoint! Would definitely come again.“
“I don’t usually write reviews but this place was too good not to show appreciation for!Amazing service!The atmosphere was a welcoming small Italian kitchen feel with a dining room with warm lighting! They also have a nice back patio if you prefer to sit outside.I ordered a a Classic Caesar Salad with the 8oz strip steak on top. The salad was so flavorful and one of the best I’ve had in a long time! The steak was cooked medium rare and cooked to perfection!I will definitely be returning!Absolutely delicious!“
“Love this place. We’ve been coming here since we moved to the area 8 years ago. They’ve hosted our first baby shower and my parents birthday party. The food is excellent, I’m partial to the chicken Marsala and chicken francese. They also do a nut free pesto on request which is huge for nut allergy people like myself. The owners and staff are great, and the vibe inside is even better now that they’ve refreshed the place. Go! Bring your family!“
“Deninos has great pizza and is usually nice and well done. I will admit I used to love their calamari - it was nice and crispy. But over the years the have changed the recipe, now it is chewy and kinda gross. I hate to throw shade on this pizzeria because I have been going there since I was a kid but I want to leave an honest review. And I wish they would update their glasses instead. They are so small and you got to suck with these tiny red straws. I'll admit I am not a fan of that (but it is tradition). I love their pizza but I will say it used to be better than it is currently. The last time I went here was 2 years ago. It was for a family birthday party. Most of my family was surprised with how much the recipes changed. However we mostly order pizza and calamari. So I can't say how the other menu options are. All in all I will continue to go here just not as frequently as I used to. Because it is far from my home and it just isn't what it used to be.“
“We took my mom for her 82nd birthday last night. I can't say enough about this restaurant. The food is beyond amazing. Real authentic homeade Italian food you don't find at too many places. The Chef/Owner came out to say hello and meet us. Such a nice and humble guy. The manager and waitress couldn't be nicer. I highly recommend this delicious restaurant. You WILL NOT be disappointed. The BEST around!!!!!!“
“I've been looking for a local, full service coffee shop that roasts their own beans, sells coffee/espresso, as well as offers breakfast and lunch.**This IS that place**I couldn't tell from their website, but the posts I saw on insta showed that they serve food, and I'm happy to report that it tastes as good as it looks!Very friendly staff and accommodating. Although it's currently the middle of December, I wanted a macchiato over ice, which wasn't on their menu, but when I asked they happily said 'of course'.Seems like I'm going to have to sign up for their points system because I can tell I'm going to be back here a whole lot more.I'm particularly interested in sampling their beans, just wish i didn't have to buy an entire bag of beans. Why don't these local roasters sell sample packs, allowing you to still purchase a pound of beans, but separated into small batches with samples of each bean type? This would allow me to quickly figure out which bean I want to try without having to buy a single large bag and take a month to go through coffee I don't really like before trying the next type . . . Or maybe i should start roasting my own beans and do this method . . .Anyways, I really like the space they have, they've really made the most of it, very cozy and inviting.Can't wait to go back“
“I love love LOVE this place. The owners are two old school Sicilians that reminded me of my Nonna and Nonno growing up, and the pizza was phenomenal! I also got their manicotti, and the sauce they make is exquisite. I'd absolutely recommend them, without question.“
“The food from Francesco's is far better than a lot of the other restaurants in the area. As a plus, they also deliver to a wider area; I live in Woodbridge and Francesco's, in Edison, delivers to me. Their food is consistently delicious. On the rare occasion something has been wrong, they have fixed the problem immediately. Francesco's is my number 1 choice for Italian food in the area.“
“Food very good, reasonable prices. Small but eclectic menu. Wines surprisingly good by the glass--the Chianti a great choice. Excellent service. They've earned their good ratings here. One caveat: the bread is like sponge cake, they could make a better choice.“
“Recommended to us, which we are glad for - as we would have never walked in on our own. Visited for a late lunch. The entire menu is dynamic and unique. The portion sizes are small by NY standards but were how we really should eat - reminiscent of how it is in Italy.The 17yr old waitress we had was extremely professional, attentive & overall very pleasant.The thing I would comment on is the ambiance (think ice cream shop (way too bright) lighting and diner type furnishings) does not match the high quality of their food.We had one glass of wine, a soda, beef carpaccio appetizer, truffle gnocchi & osso bucco, one dessert & a cup of tea. $160 after tip.Would return to try other entrees for the delicious food & great service. Just not as a romantic dinner or celebration, solely because of the lighting & decor.“
“I dined here last night with friends, and it was a 10/10 experience! Everything we ate was delicious, but I cannot stop talking about the ravioli, the homemade cookies, and the steak! The wine was delicious and their selection is endless. The service was some of the best I have ever experienced. Our server was very attentive and we never felt rushed. I cannot wait to go back!“
“This place was very reasonably priced, an unexpected surprise for the atmosphere. The salad seemed a little small, but everything else was incredible. Fresh hot bread, and probably the best Chicken Francese I've ever had... I highly recommend this place for an amazing meal, with friendly and attentive service in a white tablecloth elegant atmosphere!“
“We had a group of 10 and service was great. We felt like we were personally attended by very polite and friendly waiters and waitresses. Food 2as authentic and scrumscious. Dessert was homemade and unique.Parking: On a Friday night there was parking witjin a block.“
“I ordered stuffed pepperoni garlic knots w/ vodka sauce and a grilled chicken Cesar salad wrap, did not disappoint!!! Food was great and delivered rather quickly. The few times I called for take out, they are always so nice over the phone, as well as the delivery drivers. Thank you Italian Touch for good dinners :)“
“Edison Pizza is by far the best Italian restaurant you will find. They have many entrée choices and the food will have you returning again and again. The owner, Roberto goes out of his way to accommodate everyone who dines in or who chooses to order for delivery. Their prices are also very reasonable in today's market. 5 out of 5 Stars! ?“
“First time trying Anthony’s. I must say amazing experience all around. The girl at the front register was so nice, the sandwich making guy in the back(who I thought was Anthony himself but I didn’t know) good personality. The inside looks spotless, great decor, and felt very cool inside.I got one of Thursday specials which is the Porchetta with the crispy skin! It comes with broccoli rabe and fresh smoked mozzarella. I must say this might be the best pork sandwich I’ve ever eaten.Great crunch to the skin, very flavorful, the broccoli rabe is a great complement and the mozz is also a great addition. Best sandwich on Staten Island.We also tried the rice ball with and without meat, and the potato croquettes. Might be best on the island. So fresh!!I can’t wait to go back to try the others(except Thursday because Thursdays you know what I’m getting!!!)Anthony you out did yourself!!My score10 out of 10“
“What a gem! Passed this place so many times and finally went in. Husband and I shared a drink, a half order of fettuccini Alfredo and an order of veal parm with potato and veggies. Everything was absolutely delicious! The quality of the pasta was incredible; the red sauce on the veal was different- more sweet and herbaceous than I'm used to. But the more sauce we ate, the more we loved it. The restaurant is pretty and spotless clean and the chairs are so comfortable. Service was totally on point. Prices are fair. Can't wait to go back.“
“My boyfriend and I have been going to verdes for about 6 months now and they do not disappoint! Their food is delicious, they strive to perfect their recipes and it shows! We just enjoyed their Christmas catering due to our situation not allowing me to cook my usual set up; and oh my was it worth it! The staff are great people as well. Highly recommend this place!“
“Loads of food, huge variety to choose from, great service and atmosphere..good vibes all around what more can you ask for from a restaurant? I’ve only been to Manny’s pizza twice and can guarantee you I’ll be there many more times! Can’t recommend this place enough“
“This place is so much more than just a market. The owner takes special pride and care, and making sure every item is perfectly curated and absolutely delicious!I know this sounds crazy, but this little hole in the wall has some of the best meatballs I’ve ever had in my life! As well as some seriously killer sandwiches, and they make all of their potato chips in house! You have to get the truffle they’re so so addictive, and addictive if you’re feeling like you want to satisfy your sweet tooth they have so many chocolate covered items! My personal favorite is the Nutter butter, but don’t believe me go see for yourself“
“My experience tonight has reclaimed my love for Nola pizza. I’ve never questioned how amazing the pizza was, it was more when they first opened the wait was outrageously long and often was not ready after the two and a half hour wait. It was because of that I haven’t been back until tonight. Expecting the wait would still be long for a Sunday, called around 5:30 and given a pickup time of 6:45, significantly improved! My order was JUST taken out of the oven when I walked in at 6:45 and to no surprise, the pizza was divine. Got the Diavolo with vodka instead of spicy and it was just perfection. I can’t wait to be back, just need to be mindful of when I want to eat and when to order.“
“Jimmy Max has always been a Staten Island staple to me, but I recently hosted a first party for my daughter there and can now double down on that sentiment. :-) Erin was so wonderful to work with leading up to the party. She was quick to respond via email, answered all of my questions, and sat with us in person to sort out final details. The day of the event, Erin and the rest of the staff worked so hard to make sure that everyone was happy throughout the day. It’s the first party I’ve hosted where I felt relaxed from start to finish - and that’s all thanks to the staff at Jimmy Max. The food was delicious and plentiful! The space was beautiful! And the staff was an a+ team! Highly recommend for a party of any kind!“
“What is not to like about this place?Warning: if you have a shopping list or have an idea of what you are planning to buy, try to stick with it. Otherwise, you will end up buying much more ?Their meatballs are so good that they don't last more than a day.Their sandwiches are great as well and with one you even have enough for 2 meals.The only item that is not my favorite is their mozzarella cheese, which I find too salty. But if you mix it with mushrooms you can make great quesadillas.“
“Matt and his team do an amazing job with fresh meals to dine in or take away. Their fresh pasta to take and cook is fantastic, and the sauces are delicious.The assortment of local and Italian goods the best around.They have done an amazing job with my catering orders as well for parties both large and small.Vegetarian options: Great options for accommodating vegetarians, as well as helpful with special asks and requests.“
“We went for my birthday and what a gift it was. The service by Lea was amazing, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.The owner kept checking on us to see if we needed anything. And the food, oh the food was outstanding. Their strip steak was absolutely delicious melted in your mouth perfectly cooked and prepared. If you haven’t tried it there yet I absolutely recommend you do.Parking: I found a spot right outside and so did the other 2 cars that came with us. I went on a Wednesday night don’t know if that matters, there’s still plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: They were so patient and kind with my 3 grandchildren.“
“Awesome place to host a party or event food was great people were great and very nice and hard working too bad u can only give 5 stars. They made us fell like we were the only ones in the whole place. Thanks again guys for my babies 16bday u guys made it “
“Easily my favorite gourmet deli in union county. It’s dangerous to come here when you’re hungry. The sandwiches are the best in the area, and the prepared foods are excellent as well. The service is unequaled, and to top it all off, the prices are no more expensive than many other places with inferior products. I’ve sworn off all other delis.“
“My second experience was even better than the first ? I was actually looking for a different eatery with similar names. I ended up @ Touch of Italy ??,. And it was the right choice. I ordered the Apple ? salad, which was excellent. Thanks again for the great food and the great conversation ?“
“It was pretty good! Nice date with my partner. I would say the food was quick and appetizers were good. Definitely come dressed nice the ambiance seemed for fine dining, which is fine just a little odd for the location. Waiter was good and friendly, but I will say there is no drink menu with prices so just prepped to pay lol.“
“We really enjoy this place. The food is excellent and it has a very chill laid back atmosphere. The second time we visited this place was because the Mexican restaurant next to it had a one hour wait. I'm not waiting one hour and we need that the food here was good. My wife ordered a Italian Stromboli and I had pasta and octopus. They were both exceptionally tasty, and always come out piping hot. In addition, everyone gets a really delicious bread basket with different types of Italian breads, garlic, bruschetta and baked bread. The owner is always cordial and you can see him mingling around talking to people.If you are in town I would recommend this place. They are fully accessible, and will move tables around for you if you need them to be moved. The bathrooms are also accessible and there are some accessible parking spots available on the street, or in the parking deck behind the courtyard restaurant area. By the way the prices are really good.Wheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible and that includes the restroom facilities.“
“Big C's Cheesesteaks are out of this world. The mushrooms, onion, peppers and cheese complemented the steak so well. Excellent bit of char of mush, onion and peppers for extra flavor. We hired Clemente to cater my birthday based upon a great friend's recommendation... and my man did not disappoint!!!!! Catering - ask for the Pasta Genovese - your mind will be blown. His meatballs and gravy are outta hand. My friend's still talk about his food months later. Not only is Clemente great chef but he is a great person! He preps, and presents....and the best part, he cleans your friggin' kitchen when he's done!! Love your food! Keep it up and you will do great things!“
“Very kind, we came to visit from Philadelphia and we were delighted with the experience here! The man at the door helped us with the child's car and accommodated us very well and the waiter was equally friendly! 5 stars! Recommended! Thank you“
“I attended a party at 12 noon in the dining room on Saturday - the appetizers were bountiful, the salad was plentiful, and so fresh! A huge bowl of penne vodka followed !! chicken francaise was tender and delicious, no fork needed.My family and I will definitely be “
“Incredibly good. I had veal parmesan last night as I do every time my work brings me to New Jersey. Best I've had after going to about 5 different restaurants in the area. Very tender and perfectly seasoned and prepared.The bread was addicting since I had 6 pieces and the service was excellent. Unfortunately I didn't catch his name.This will be the go to place when we come to work up here from now on.“
“Yes, I did try Jimmy buffs and it was delicious. I enjoyed it and I will be back again. I had the red hot double dog with the peppers and onions the ketchup, the bread was nice and soft. The potatoes were cut round and circle. I enjoyed it. And I will go back again.“
“First time dinning at Piccolino’s and it was a pleasant experience!Serving staff was knowledgeable of the menu, attentive of our needs. Our water glasses were never empty.Our cocktail were excellent! The wine was a good size pour!All of our cocktails, appetizers, main course, coffee and dessert were all packed with great flavors!My pork chop was HUGE accompanied by seasonal vegetables and potatoes.Judging from the empty plates of my fellow guest theirs were delicious too.And as an added bonus they had a cruder singing in the style of Frank Sinatra supper club! He was a bit too loud but had a great voice and played all the classics!First timer but won’t be the last! They get a well deserved 5 ***** Star review!“
“Celebrated a few special occasions here and each time was nothing less than AWESOME! Great atmosphere and they treat each guest like family.Food and drinks are great. Service is excellent and the entertainment is engaging and lots of fun. Great singing!Definitely a great spot for a special celebration or just a great night out!“
“The place is cute and well-decorated. We waited over 45 minutes after ordering for our food, and then the order was incorrect, so had to wait a bit longer for my full meal. Then waited a long time for the check, etc. Ended up spending about 2.5 hrs in there. I appreciated not being rushed, but I went in there extremely hungry and I am a busy medical student, so I did not anticipate spending so long in there.I will say, our server, Caesar, was stellar! very kind, charismatic, and helpful. Chatty when we wanted to chat, and left us alone when that time came, too. Great server.I forgot to take a photo of my food because I was soooooo hungry when I finally got it! Food was delicious and portion sizes were large.“
