“We stopped in for lunch and had a really good time. Our server, Anthony, was extremely friendly and on point throughout our whole visit. We aren’t local to the area but between the great food and service we would go out of our way to eat there again.“
“Great little trattoria. Y'all have a wonderful atmosphere, great front room staff and the kitchen makes wonderful dishes. Folks, you gotta get the calamari, healthy serving; the meatball sundae, a no-brainer; and lastly - spicy grandpa.Parking: Park in the garage just south of the restaurant and east of ShopRite.“
“Verve was hitting on all cylinders last night as we dined with friends. We were seated promptly. Cocktails were well made but did take too long to order and get to the table- something we were willing to overlook once food started arriving. All of our apps were super- chicken buns, pork belly, oysters and calamari’s shared amongst the 5 of us. Everyone raved about their entrees , steaks, lamb and salmon flavorful and perfectly cooked. Desserts were good but could have taken some more effort. Service was competent and professional but wasn’t perfect. All in all a great evening, expensive but good price to value and not out of line with local prices“
“Pretty good place to shoot pool at, especially on a weekend night. Last Sat nite was crowded (which is good, because I like to socialize with lots of people, on weekends), and was very inexpensive to shoot, there (3 tables in action, and only 5 quarters a game). Much less costly than a standard pool hall, and I don't mind all of the young, rowdy, impaired ones wandering around (and getting wiped out by me, in game after game, either!) Mostly everybody there was friendly, including the bar-keeps, and I even brought my "main squeeze" with me, last Sat nite--and she was impressed with what a "happening place" it was, in Somerville, nowadays. I also shoot regularly at the Royal, and the Northside, but sometimes there aren't enough other shooters, at the Royal, and the Northside sometimes has a live band, and closes their only pool table (which doesn't work for me, at all!) I don't mind hard core and death metal, but when I come to such a raucous place, I want to shoot pool, or get bored quickly, just listening to music. Besides, it's hard to socialize with chicks, with all of that loud music playing (because they can't hear you, when you try to talk to them)--but everyone is interested in a good game of pool, win, lose, or draw--and nobody gives me any grief with a pool cue stick in my hands, while knocking around those rock hard balls, on the table--and I even enjoyed a quick game of air hockey, with my "main squeeze", too! So, if you like shooting, like me, then come down to the "Hotel", brush aside some of the crowd, and win a few games! Ha ha ha ha ha!“
“Found this place by accident. Central pizzeria. We got turned away from IL Forno a Legna-Dunellen because we didn’t have reservations. Reservations needed for Dunellen, Really? Then we went to Alphonso’s in Somerville, 45 minute wait, no seats at the bar. So we said let’s give this place a try. WOW. Great pizza. Debbie Siecko Majorczak had the personal margarita pie and I had a pie with the works. They were both amazing. Draft and Bottle beers available. We will be back. Found our new Favorite in Somerville. Going to to try one of the entrees next time. Great 50% off entree specials Monday - Thursday. Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed. Had cheesecake n coffee for desert. Yum.Server was extremely friendly and good.“
“Thanks to Lizzie and Courtney - five ? star bartenders! Three friends went out for a night of drinking and what a night we had. Lizzie even made a fantastic fancy layered drink *on the fly, and it was delicious. Yes, a hole in the wall; but would DEFINITELY recommend ?“
“Made a reservation through Resy app and had no issues getting a table for 4. Upon arrival, there was plenty of free parking in their parking lot. We were greeted and promptly taken care of by our hostesses after walking in. After our group had all arrived, we decided to order a bunch of small plates and a couple pizzas, so as not to completly engorge ourselves. We ordered the Bao Buns, Chicharron Arancini, Buffalo Cauliflower, Salmon Crudo, Truffle Friesm Goat Cheese & Bacon Pizza, and Broken Burrata Pizza. Each bite was super flavorful and delicious. Our favorites were the Buffalo Cauliflower and Arancini. Both pizzas were also super tasty. The crunch of the thin crust made it so enjoyable. We ended our night with a sliver of Tiramisu. Just enough to finish off the meal without feeling overly stuffed. 10/10 would highly recommend.“
“What's there to say? People that have been to this place know they just know is amazing. The food is amazing. The vibe is amazing been going in for years . The downside it's ALWAYS packed so if you get a seat right away you are LUCKY enjoy ? .“
“One of my favorite Brunch, Dinner, and event spaces. From the delicious food to the wonderful staff, my experience at Stoney Brook has always been above and beyond. Ioanna and Katina go the extra mile to ensure any event I've held at the restaurant has gone smoothly. Would recommend to everyone and also Bingo night is fun!!“
“This place NEVER disappoints! We always order the same dishes.. we go in saying we’ll try something new and can’t bear to not get out favorites… duck fat fries, drunken clams on fire, truffled pork pizza. The drinks are always on point as well. It’s a very warm family friendly place. It feels like you’re in someone’s basement .. in a good way.“
