“4 of us visited Bruno’s Sunday for dinner with a 6:45 reservation. Greeted immediately upon walking in. Bar area seats abt 10-15 and reservations can be made for bar seating as well! Within a minute of being seated our server had our drink order and returned with them. Appetizers ordered: Hot sausage stuffed peppers These weee absolutely awesome. Served with peppers and onions with a light marinara. Menu says “spicy”; they are medium hot but amazing flavor Artichoke The couple with us ordered these ?breadcrumb” battered and fried portion. Also sauced in hous made marinara. Entrees ordered: chicken parm, spaghetti marinara, scallops and pasta. All were tremendous! Our server Martha was spot on with everything, meal was very nicely paced. I spoke with the gentleman in charge to compliment him on his food and staff. This was our first visit but definitely not our last! This is a definite 10/10.“

“I am in the very early stages of planning a surprise birthday party for my daughter with the help of Emily at Bucci's J Bella. From my very first phone conversation with Emily, she has been incredibly friendly and helpful, while using her professional experience to guide me in selecting the perfect amount of food for our anticipated guests, in addition to making suggestions to accommodate any guests with food sensitivities. She really took the time to listen to my needs and ideas and never made me feel rushed during our lengthy conversation. My interaction with her has truly been the best customer service I have experienced in a very long time, and I am extremely grateful! If Emily is an example of the quality I can expect from Bucci's J Bella, then I know the party will turn out to be perfect! I will write a follow-up review after the party in December and, based on my interaction with Emily so far, I expect it to be another 5-star review! Emily is definitely an asset to Bucci's J Bella and should be commended for her incredible customer service skills & professionalism! Thank you, Emily!“

“I cannot say enough about Palazzo!!! Whether it is dine in or ordered to go, we have never had a bad experience here. Wait staff is amazing and the owner is one of the nicest people I've met! Lobster cooked beautifully, steaks cooked to perfection, the pasta was so flavorful and the salads were perfect. It's a quiet little spot but once you find it, you will be back!! Definite must do for our family!“

“My boyfriend saw a video on Facebook about another customer doing a review and shared it to me and we both agreed we had to try this place…. Did NOT disappoint!!! I had the BLT and he had the chef’s choice wraps. Mine had a bunch of flavor to the sauce. It was really good He said his was spicy not too spicy. We both had the cannoli chips and OMG!!!!! Soo good. Very dangerous 😉! You will get hooked!! We will be back!“

“Incredible from start to finish. My only regret is not dining at Molto Bene when I first moved to Lakewood two years ago.

The restaurant itself is intimate and relaxing. The service is excellent. The food left me desiring nothing else.

Lakewood is very fortunate to have a restaurant such as this. All aspects were phenomenal and I would never second guess recommending Molto Bene to friends and family.“

“Vito is a hottie“

“I had the pleasure of meeting the team from Italian Creations last night at a wedding at Lake Effect Studios. As a professional DJ, I have had lots of wedding food. I have to say, everything was excellent. From the salad bowl with a tasty balsamic dressing to the spaghetti vodka. If you are looking for authentic home cooked Italian food, look no further. You will not be disappointed. 10/10“

“Pizza was ok nothing that made me say oooh delicious sauce was flavorless (took a bite with no pepperoni), pepperoni over powering that couldn't even taste the sausage and greasy. The mozzarella too expensive and cold, I live 2min away if that so it wasn't the drive time.“

“We had Mario cater our small wedding last week. He went above and beyond to make the our guests happy with his delicious food! All of our guests raved about the dinner provided for them. Many said it was the best food they have had at a wedding. Mario gave us exactly what we asked for and elevated his food with the love he has for cooking. I HIGHLY recommend Mario as he is top notch and was worth every penny. Thanks for making our day even more special!!!🤩❤“

“Great and warm atmosphere , the staff are very friendly. The food never disappoints. Highly recommend going there or doing take out !“

“New Favorite Italian Spot! We came here for my brother’s rehearsal dinner, and wow—Matteo’s absolutely blew us away! My husband and I loved everything we had: the lemon chicken was tender and flavorful, the Alfredo cavatelli was creamy perfection, and the sausage and meatballs were just incredible. Honestly, I can’t even pick a favorite—they were all that good. The bread and butter? Probably the best we’ve ever had. The cozy, old-town vibe of the location just added to the charm, and the service was top-notch. You can really feel the care and warmth of a true mom-and-pop Italian place. We’ve officially found our new go-to spot. If you’re a fan of Italian food and great hospitality, do yourself a favor and check out Matteo’s!“

“Terrific atmosphere and decor for the thirty years I've been coming here and a fairly standard American and Italian dish selection prepared very well and delicious. French dips are surprisingly uncommon nowadays, but theirs is scrumptious. Buffalo Chicken salad also delicious, as was the triple chocolate mouse cake. I'll keep coming here as long as they keep their standards up.“

“Great food, great service and great knowledge and communication from the server to the kitchen staff about which options are gluten free. Many places make you feel like a burden when questioning the menu due to your dietary needs. Everyone there made me feel they were happy to answer questions and address the issue. I cannot say enough good things about the experience.“

“Superb meal and great atmosphere. It was wonderful meeting Carmella and her niece for the first time. I really enjoyed our conversation. Looking forward to dining there again!“

“I tried the Italian beef for the first time. Its delicious and huge. The bread looks like its homemade, some of the best I have ever had on a sandwich. I also ordered the onion rings and they were amazing. I want to come back and try the spicy sausage sandwich.“

“We took 2 guests to D'Agnese's for dinner. Our waitress Tina was great & very attentive. One of our guests ordered the Seabass which was the special & he raved about it. This place is the place we take our out of town guests & everyone loves it.“

“Yesterday we went to Amici pop up bar for a late lunch. There was 4 of us in our party. We were greeted with a very happy and pleasant girl that directed us upstairs for the romantic pop up bar for Valentines Day. The ambiance was spot on for a perfect meal. 3 of the 4 of us got the chicken parmigiana. Absolutely delicious! Best I’ve had ever! The chicken was moist, breading and sauce was delicious and we were sad when it was all gone. Because we ate every bite. Our server, Chris (who was also the bartender) was extremely nice, spent some time chatting with us. We felt so welcome. He didn’t rush us and gave us some history on the restaurant. We will definitely be back very soon. 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend Amici’s. ❤️“

“Great meatballs!!! Dini was wonderful. Fantasioso server!!!! 1st trip here. We will be back.“

“My wife and I just had dinner at Bianca's. The owner was working pretty much by herself. She only had someone working with her in the kitchen. The gentleman at the next table jumped in and was seating people, giving them menus and silverware. It turned out that it was like one big happy family, fellowship and chipping in to help each other. Kudos to Debbie (the owner), great food and great service taking care of all that were there !!!!!“

“The best pizza. In a long time“
