“Best Pizza in South Jersey, can’t go wrong with this family. Mike Havers“

“I love this place. Always a Riverside staple for us. The staff is nice, especially to the kids walking home from school when they stop for a slice and a boost. At least, that's what my 11yr old says. ? Always nice to know there are still good people.“

“My Wife and I had a Fabulous Meal on Friday 06/21/24. From the fresh oysters to the main entrees. Staff were very polite and efficient. We were not rushed.. Definitely will be returning soon!!“

“We held an 80th birthday party at Verona. The service was top notch and owners beyond accommodating. The guests said they want to come back! The clams casino is my favorite. The outdoor seating is great.“

“My family had dinner at Albertinos today for my mom and husbands birthday. Because there was 9 of us they require a fix price meal for each person. This price includes an app, main, and dessert - anything on the menu. The service here is outstanding. The food is better than anywhere else in town, and for me- the best Italian I have ever had. Dinner for 9 of us took about three hours. To me, this is amazing. There was no rush. They made sure everything was perfect. We were able to relax and enjoy our time. We have been there two other times and have had the same waitress. The daughter of the owner (Jsut another plus). She is bubbly and kind and makes sure everyone has a great time. Thank you for a great evening.“

“It was a new place, so we decided to give it a try. The staff was friendly and sandwiches were so good. I got The Guido and tried a bite of my mom's Nonna's Special. The fact the ingredients are fresh certainly helps. I'll definitely order from here again. I dug their vanilla cream soda as well.“

“It was wonderful having a nice restaurant open on Christmas Day other than Chinese.

“Took The family and a friend to dinner the day after Christmas. Incredible service, ambience and delicious food! We had ordered The Italian hoagie Rotolo, and the house made mozzarella wedges For starters. The Rotolo is a such an innovative play on the Italian hoagie, and the mozzarella wedges were incredible-sauce was delicious. The kids had a really great looking cheese pizza and I ended up having the Wildfeather Paccheri ala Vodka dish… Wow- this dish was so wonderful… Mildly spicy but super creamy and the ribbons of cupped pepperoni in it was off the charts! Highly recommend and we will def do dinner here again!“

“My niece had her law school graduation party here the other night and the entire family, 21 of us, cannot say enough about the excellent food and service that we received. My elderly mother and I were early when they were still setting up, and they welcomed us with open arms and got us some coffee because it was so rainy and cold. The food was excellent. We had many courses, and my sister-in-law said that they were extremely accommodating and offered many choices at a good price for the menu. The owner was lovely to work with. I cannot say enough about how excellent the food was as was the superb service that we received from the entire team. They were on every need amidst a very busy restaurant while navigating around walkers and people like absolute pros... with a smile on their face the entire time. I sincerely hope that the owner and staff see this review.“
