“Today was a cheat day for me to enjoy carbs. I am traveling so i did a quick search for an Italian/pizza place near me, and found this pizzeria. So glad i did.. the meatballs melted in your mouth with a delicious sauce accompanying. Our table also enjoyed a meat calzone, gnocchi and a rice ball ( all freakin delicious!!). Our server was spot on, friendly and attentive to our experience. It doesnt get any better than this. 5 stars. Highly recommend“

“We ate here for lunch, I had the focaccia pesto panini, it was delicious, and a lot of food. I had a slice of the what I would call tomato pie with little rounds of mozzarella on it, but it was thin and crispy square slice. It was one of the better slices I've had in a long time, amazing! Service was friendly and extremely fast! Also the prices were extremely reasonable for the amount of food you get. If I'm ever in the area again, we will definitely be going back!“

“Great place to have delicious food at good prices . The waitstaff was sooo friendly“

“We had an amazing meal a few weeks ago at Luca’s! We were greeted and seated and waited on promptly. We brought our own wine in which they had no problem opening for us. The food was out of this world. Their meatball appetizer is everything you’ve heard and then some. Incredible sauce, bread service, and our meals were excellent. My partner had the octopus for an appetizer and said it was incredible. Both of our meals were amazing and served timely and piping hot. I had the chicken marsala with mushroom risotto, delicious! And he had the veal saltimbocca. The service was prompt, pleasant and just perfect, and the atmosphere is lovely. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“food was outstanding! Service was impeccable! Everyone on out party had to taste each other's food because we all raved about how delicious it was! Can't wait to go back!“

“I was visiting New Jersey from Miami Florida and I’m so glad i found this little Italian spot. The quality of food is incredible and worth the drive and price. Big portions and packed with flavor. It’s a hidden gem that only locals know about but I did some digging and I’m so glad i found it. The server was funny and down to earth her name was 10/10“

“We had a group of 8 and we all had some really nice meals. We were in Princeton area for a horse show and we really enjoyed our time here. We will be back“

“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.“

“Food and service is great! Nice atmosphere and plenty of parking.“

“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“

“My third time here , tonight I had the lamb shank fantastic service is top notch it’s a small place so kind of tight but I’m planning on being a regular“

“I write reviews when it matters and only to help others. This place stands out on so many levels, but for me, service is everything and thanks to Gina it was beyond exceptional. The food, amazing and authentic. Can't wait to make this place a regular spot.“

“Drove from Cleveland to a meeting in NYC, specifically had a layover in New Brunswick, just to have dinner. This was my second trip for dinner in two months and it exceeded all expecations, the hoilday decor transformed the second floor. The service (Regan) was on point, pleasant and efficient with out being over bearing. The meal was the single greatest pasta dish I have had in the U.S. (wild boar ravioli) Already making plans to return, if you are with in a days drive, you really have no excuse not to enjoy a meal with them.“

“5 Star all around, food, service, atmosphere and decor. Food is definitely fresh, light and filling. Delicious dessert too. Can’t wait to go back!“

“This deli is almost hidden in a big plaza. It is a small spot but the food is delicious. The chicken parm with vodka sauce was good. The true test of a sandwich is the bread and the bread is the star of the show here. The pasta salad with grilled chicken was delicious as well. It had a vinegary dressing that worked. I would recommend you try if you are in the area.“

“Came here for lunch. Relatively quiet bc it was lunchtime on a Wednesday. Waitress was friendly. I ordered the cauliflower pizza with broccoli. I dont know how they do it but the cauliflower crust tasted like a regular pizza crust. Delicious! Typically priced like all other restaurants. I did like that the menu offered half sizes for lunch and full sizes for dinner. We live in NY, the food was just as good as Staten Island Italian restaurant food. Will def come back to try for dinner.“

“Good food in a friendly atmosphere!“

“Excellent food, the owner and staff are extremely friendly! Dusal's is my favorite Italian restaurant!“

“I love the food at Lola's its fantastic! The service is great! I highly recommend ?“

“Food is always good, people are friendly the only problem I had is outside of this. Today when I paid I used my debit card instead of paying cash like I have every other time this was around 12:15pm today. The employee made a big deal about it being a NASA Card (my mom worked at Nasa & I have had an account there since 10th grade) By 1:30pm someone had attempted to use my card for a $1,339 AT&T purchase that was declined three times then used some Delta D account to charge $799.60 and unfortunately the second attempt work. I just came from the location and and all I had was smoke blown up my but. Either an employee or patron did something and they have a camera inside the store but was told the owner has the key. If the owner would just let me know when he will be there I will show up and we can handle this like gentlemen. I have been going to this place for over 5 years and work near by. For the record the card has been cancelled and NASA is tracking where charges are being attempted from. Paul“

“Nunzio’s is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was impeccable—warm, inviting, and full of charm. The customer service was in a league of its own; “amazing” doesn’t even begin to cover it. The staff was incredibly attentive, and their genuine kindness made me feel so welcome.

The owner himself, is the heart and soul of this place. He’s so humble, down-to-earth, and clearly pours love into every dish he prepares. You can truly taste the passion and care in the food—it was absolutely fantastic. Every bite left me wanting more, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

The prices are unbelievably reasonable for the quality of the food and the experience. Every dish I tried was worth every single penny, and I can only imagine the rest of the menu is just as outstanding.

This was the most amazing experience I’ve had in a long time, and I can’t recommend Nunzio’s enough to anyone in the area. Do yourself a favor and make this your next stop—you won’t regret it!“

“Brought my girls soccer team in this afternoon to celebrate our 1st place soccer season. Great service, pizza was good and John was very helpful.“

“Great food! Excellent service.“

“This past Saturday, 5.21.22, my family and I ventured out to Cucina Mandreucci, for the first time since covid, for my niece's college graduation celebratory dinner. We have been here before for other special family occasions, as well as for everyday family dinners. No matter whether you are a party of 20 or an intimate party of two, Cucina Mandreucci will treat you like family. They handled our rowdy bunch with ease. Jill, our server, and our busser (I apologize, but I forget his name) treated us like family. They remembered us from our last large family gathering three years ago, as well as from the last time I was there with my fiance and our four children. They remembered where we sat and what we ate; simply put, they (but especially Jill) made us feel at home, and welcomed us back with open arms. As if that were not enough, the food was, once again, outstanding! I am a picky eater, and that puts it mildly. Jill was ready for my crazy requests and substitutions. She, and the kitchen, handled it all like pros. As if our large, rambunctious party were not enough to handle, we actually forgot a to-go meal for a family member who was unable to attend; we put that request in as we were paying the bill. Not four minutes later did that food come out of the kitchen ready to go. When I tell you this place has their stuff together, that is the truth. This is my favorite restaurant in Middlesex County for sure, and of course we'll be returning!“

“We celebrated our daughter's 19th birthday at Victoria's. Let me just say Vinny and team made us feel so warm and welcomed. The atmosphere reminded me of how restaurants used to be when I was a kid, growing up in NY. Top notch customer service and the icing on the cake.. food was amazing. We ordered appetizers including the baked wings and buttermilk fried calamari which was delicious. We had pasta dishes including carbonara, penne vodka and even gnocchi. All of which were amazing. As well as desserts . The waiter was amazing too. This is now our new favorite spot! Thank you Victoria's for a memorable evening ❤️“

“The service was really excellent. The food was delicious. I was having a party for a member of my staff and it could not be more perfect.“

“The most amazing pizza and Italian dishes you will ever eat! Super fresh and always delicious! The owners are the sweetest and truly make you feel special every time you visit. We’ve been customers since they were located in the Meyers parking lot, however, we’ve moved in the last few years and are unable to get our fix of Bella La Pizzeria greatness since. We travel over 3 hours for the best pizza and meals because the food is that delicious! I’m sitting here in heaven this evening enjoying a slice of their perfect pizza. Yummmm!!!…….“

“hi everyone yes I stopped by Kings Pizza many of times they have a good service they're super clean friendly people they always ready to figure out what exactly you wanted to order very good place I completely recommend it“

“The best pizza place local to me. When you walk in it smells of as a traditional Italian grandmas kitchen. My boyfriend was craving pizza so I brought him here. He got the meatball pie. The face he made after eating the first bite was him falling in love with me all over again ?. This place also has amazing gluten free and vegetarian options. I recommend this place to all my friends. Tight indoor dining but they have a cute patio outback that’s much more spacious. I personally always do take out.

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and gluten free options“
