“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!“

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 !“

“Stopped by with my teen son for a quick bite because he said the place was good. Nice and clean, clear menu, friendly workers, and most importantly, their sub was quite good. I had the Italian and enjoyed the meat-to-sandwich ratio. They had hot pepper relish too which is always a plus for a sub shop. They understood the assignment! Will be back again.“

“I recently ate at Cumin N Eat, and honestly, the food completely lived up to the hype.

From the moment the dishes came out, you could tell everything was made fresh and with real attention to flavor. The spices were perfectly balanced—not too overpowering, but still packed with that rich, authentic taste that makes you want to keep eating even when you’re full. Every bite had depth, and you can tell they don’t cut corners when it comes to ingredients.

But the highlight for me had to be the wings. They were absolutely amazing—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated in a sauce that had the perfect mix of flavor and heat. Not too spicy, not too mild—just right. They were easily some of the best wings I’ve had, and I’d go back just for those alone.

Overall, Cumin N Eat is definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re in New Jersey. Great flavor, great quality, and food that actually leaves an impression.“

“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!!!“

“I love family style dinner and enjoying an evening with my other half“

“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 was our first time dining at Bello's and the place was clean and family friendly. We ordered fried mushrooms which were previously frozen and not very good and I had the buffalo wings which were average with little flavor. We both had a salad which was good and then a bar pie and eggplant parmesan which was good.“

“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. The waitress was incredible and so sweet they work as a team. I wouldn't highly recommend 10 out of 10. Thank you for a wonderful night last night“

“Food is amazing! Great staff, great service, and prices inline. Highly recommend“

“The pizza is just amazing — crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and so much flavor in every bite 🤤 The vibe is super family-friendly, and the service makes you feel right at home 🙌 No wonder it’s been a local favorite for years, with fresh food and traditional recipes every day. Shoutout to Chico — the best pizza maker ever! 👏🔥“

“We had Dusal’s for the first time this week and we loved the Chicken Vodka sliders and Chicken Francese sliders! They are served on a big garlic knot bun! PS Nothing “slider” size about them, its more like sandwich size! That and fries made for a great meal! We will be back!“
