“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!“

“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.“

“Every year we take a trip or two to come to this restaurant from Rochester NY ! One year we brought friends of 12 people and went to make reservations and they were full ! Once I told them who we were and we come every year they went above and beyond and got us a private table in the back by the street and accommodated all of us no problem ! Everyone loved it there AND one of their waiters is from where we are in NY it was great to have conversations with him ! Can’t wait to go back again . The mixed drinks as in the mojitos are my favorite! The oil for dipping is perfect !“

“The food and atmosphere are AMAZING!!! Everything is so fresh and you can tell it is all made with the best ingredients. A great place to go for authentic Italian food and a plus is it's a BYOB!!!“

“Was craving some yummy halal Italian in the area and came across this gem of a place. The moment you open your door the delicious smell of the food fills the air. Felt for some spaghetti 🍝 and meatballs. The food was fresh and amazing every bite of perfection alhamdulilah loved it! Glad I found it will be back again to try the pizza next! So many choices to choose from. I highly recommend this spot :) thank you“

“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“

“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.“

“Good job! It really tastes good, and the service attitude is also very good.“

“Great food and 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!“

“Excelente Restaurante con un excelente servicio 😋“

“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.“

“Thank you so much for making my daughters Sweet 16 so beautiful!! Everything was perfect! The staff was wonderful and very attentive. I highly recommend them if you need a place to have a party! Great food and service! Again, thank you for everything!!“

“The food is exceptional, and the service is equally as impressive. I love the generous portion sizes at reasonable prices. I usually get the chicken Alfredo pasta or strombolis, both of which never disappoint. The pizza is consistently delicious, with a perfect balance of crunch and softness. Highly recommend!“

“Jaspers was the best food I have ever eaten. The steaks,gf pasta,veggies and potatoes were to die for. The atmosphere is just beautiful. The trees they have in there are gorgeous.

“I was searching online for good Italian to send to my family who were gathering for lunch before my favorite Aunt Harriets funeral. Trying to do this as a surprise for my family, I was calling from Colorado not knowing true reputations. I not only found good Italian, I found fantastic and authentic! Sal's genuine care for my phone order was beyond words. I ordered trays of eggplant rollatini, chicken parmesan, lasagna, fresh vegetables and garlic knots which was fresh, hot and delivered on time. Can't say THANK YOU enough for helping me feel present with my family when I couldn't actually be present. Someday during my travels back east, I'll find my way there and experience your cooking first hand. Thanks again Sal and keep doing (ministering in a way) what your doing. Diann R. Longmont, CO“

“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!!!…….“

“The only place to ever go to for Italian food. The best Italian food around. Clean and roomy indoor dining, outdoor dining when the weather is nice and staff are super nice. If you have never tried Villa Borghese you have to give them a try 🇮🇹🍝🍕“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Frank’s Pizza has a great environment with amazing pizza and food — top quality, super tasty, and always fresh. The place is very kid-friendly, with plenty of room, and it’s perfect for families or groups. There’s easy parking, great handicap accessibility, and even a private room, which is a huge plus. BYOB makes it even better. Overall, awesome food, welcoming vibe, and super convenient. Highly recommend! 🍕👏“
