50 Best Italian Restaurants near Whitehouse Station

“I can’t say one bad thing about this restaurant - the food, the service, even the greeting at the front door was all great. As soon as my friends and I walked in we felt comfortable. We shared eggplant rollatini and bruschetta to start, and each had pasta dishes (chicken parm & lasagna) for our main entrees. We each brought half our dinners home so we could share a dessert :) which was also wonderful (fresh baked chocolate chip cookie in a cast iron pan with ice cream). We WILL be back. This place is a gem!“

“Catered a family event flawlessly. They were so kind and made sure we would be able to feed everyone regardless of dietary restrictions. If you have an event you need to feed people at in NJ use Bensi!“

“The best food, service, and reasonably priced. Family meals are a great value when you don't feel like cooking. I have also catered parties here. Thank you, for helping us out with our Girl Scout troop!!“

“This is our GO-TO place for catering when we have parties. They are so accommodating, they can make anything on or off the menu, great pricing, and they are truly appreciative for the business! Every single time we order, our guests RAVE about the food. We went out on a limb and ordered a large cheesesteak Stromboli last night and people couldn’t stop eating it. HIGHLY recommend!“

“I never give five stars for anything, as five star would be perfection. Guess what, this is the best Italian food I have had outside of Italy. Produce is obviously fresh and high standard. I'm a bit of a foodie, and I've eaten in some expensive restaurants that don't have food as good as this. I won't go anywhere else.“

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! The food is absolutely delicious!!!! This Italian Restuarant, in my opinion, is the best in Clinton. The owners and staff are customer focused and if you need an ingredient changed in a dish ordered, they are more than willing to go the extra mile to make certain that you are satisfied. The atmosphere is warm and quaint which leaves one feeling very relaxed and comfortable. Be sure to dine in this restaurant, you'll be glad you did!“

“Awesome - love the broccoli rabe and sausage appetizer - so good Great pasta and chicken dishes also.“

“Had catering for a party and the food was excellent! Great job 👏 👏👏👏👏 from Tony and his staff. Plenty of leftovers!“

“From the moment we walked in, we were treated as if we were sitting in first class. The staff was so attentive to our table even though they were very busy. We were not rushed and enjoyed every savory bit of food that was put before us. They also catered to me being a vegetarian. We finished our meal with the most delicious homemade gelato . if ever given the opportunity, please do not pass this gem of a restaurant up.“

“I can’t believe that after living in Hillsborough for years I did not try this place out until now. We had a great dinner with friends here. The staff is very friendly and courteous, knowledgeable of food allergens and are very accommodating. The food was amazing, we will come back for dinner soon enough.“

“Consistently great food with weekly specials Tuesday - Thursday and Friday - Sunday. Very friendly staff. The owner Nick stops by the tables to ensure everything is to your satisfaction. He builds the menu himself - a graduate of Johnson & Wales.“

“After many friends telling how good AMA is I decided to grab a pie and meatball parm sub to give them a go. My words will not give their food justice but it is delicious. Napoletan done the right way. Not to mention the owner is beyond good people. Greeted me outside while I was waiting for them to open and then offered me an espresso while my food was being prepared. We will most certainly be back.“

“Delicious food, great service and nice ambience!“

“This place is a hidden gem . We were there the other night with 5 people and everyone loved the food they ordered. We have been there a couple of times since it changed ownership and it’s great. It seems to be empty except on the weekends and I have no idea why. Maybe because it’s a few miles out of town. It’s more than worth the drive in my opinion !“

“We happened upon this neighborhood gem quite by accident and we are sure glad we did! Charming little restaurant with a nice bar for a pre meal drink and a courteous, attentive staff. Menu has a lot of great choices to satisfy any appetite. We have been back many times since our initial visit and consider it our favorite place.“

My fav is shrimp and scallops over pasta in a great cream sauce… steaks are great and Demos is a wizard in the bakery.“

Adrian took all of our orders including appetizers without writing anything down. The food was delivered to perfection. I am astounded by the diversity of the menu, the ability to switch out sides, the quality and taste of the food. The chefs are talented and cook to delight every palate. I can not say enough about this wonderful restaurant including their staff Carlos, Kevin, and everyone that works so hard to deliver memorable meals. I look forward to going back soon. Thank you!“

“Despite all of the pizza places in Flemington, I have always driven to Milford to get my favorite pizza because I’m super picky and nothing quite hit the spot. However, l just tried this place for the first time because my in-laws picked up a pie…. Didn’t even realize that it had changed from the previous pizza place. I am blown away!! I am so happy to finally be able to stay local to get my Friday night pizza after living here for 7 years! Yummmmm… 9.5 out of 10! If the cheese were a little more melted it would be 10/10 and that might just be because I picked it up a few minutes late….but the sauce is PHENOMENAL and so is the crust! Best pizza in Flemington by far! Great job 👏“

“Amazing“

“Such a wonderful experience at Café Emilia! Delicious food, the most attentive service, so personable they make you feel like you’re family friends!

“Excellent food and better people. Food is very tasty, fresh, and great 'inventions'. Love Angelo, Lorenzo, and Emilio. They treat you like family. You will find homemade scones made by Angelo which are very good. No one makes a better white pizza than Angelo. All the pizza is very good, the bacon chicken ranch one of my favorites. And the dinners, Jim loves the seafood, are always very delicious. No better server than Lorenzo. He knows you and will recommend for what you might like. Love the hugs. Couldn't ask for a better gem in Flemington. It is my happy place, which is what is saved on my phone.“

“Ate in dining room for pizza and pasta. Pizza came out hot and fresh, fried calamari was very good and the chicken francaise was hot, tasty and plentiful. Great for a casual meal whether it’s pizza you crave or a pasta or meat dish. Service was good not overly friendly but they served as expected and checked in on us. Take out seems to be very popular here. Good for kids.“
