11 Best Italian Restaurants near Trenton

“Hubby & I just had lunch here a bit ago. We've never eaten here before. We shared a steak hoagie with onions, mushrooms, pickles and cheese. We got the parmesan bites and an order of fries. Absolutely delicious food! We had water to drink so our bill was only $21. Delicious food at a reasonable price! I highly recommend Richards“

“This is our go-to restaurant for casual Italian dining. The service and food are consistently good and the prices are great.“

“Went to a celebration gathering for dinner with a party of 11. Appetizers took a while to come out, but the waitress apologized. Everyone liked their food, but my wife and I ordered the salmon. It was grilled and a bit dry and had no seasoning on it, except a bit of some kind of bland sauce. The risotto was similarly without flavor. The asparagus was fine, but one of the stalks my wife got on her plate was thin, shriveled and overdone. There were some in the group that got the scallops and all raved about how delicious they were. Will have to try those next time, or something more traditionally Italian, like their lasagna, which I heard was good. Would like to see a vegetarian lasagna be offered, but I know restaurants today have you focus on big sellers. Overall good Italian food - the bread and dipping oil was a highlight - and the atmosphere was great for a group dinner or a quiet couples night out. Next time, we will have to try the desert.“

“I came here for the first time tonight and must I say… THE BEST food ever!! So yummy, warm, and fresh!!
Now let’s get onto the main part… service! Lani deserves SOOO much appreciation!! She is such a funny, and personable waitress/person!! She took such good care of me and my family, she’s incredible!!“

“Hope was fantastic. She took great care of us. The food was great. My wife and I had intended to go to another place we were familiar with, but they were closed. Brio was a last minute decision. Neither of us had been there before. It turns out it was a very good choice. Thanks again for a great night out!“

“This Italian-American fusion restaurant has a cozy but somewhat dim atmosphere, giving it a tavern-like feel. The dining area is relatively small and looks a bit dated. We ordered two pizzas, a lasagna, and a burger-pizza. Unfortunately, the pizzas were disappointing—bland, tough, and lacking flavor. However, the lasagna and burger-pizza were quite good. The staff was very friendly, which was a plus. The price is around $20 per person, I would recommend this place but not for pizza. Also the restaurant is not directly on the main road, making it easy to miss.“

“I ordered 13 pizzas for a student field trip and five salads for chaperones. The pizzas arrived hot and on the time. The salads for the adults were delicious Because they had a plethora of toppings and lots of choices. Parents and students alike were very happy.I highly recommend All8Up.“

“7 of us were in town for the Giants vs Reds series and the local electricians union hall recommended Township Tavern. I can say everyone in our party enjoyed the food, the staff's friendliness and the great atmosphere. I highly recommend them.“

“I love this pizza and the breadsticks. I used to eat here a lot but the manager would leave you waiting at the counter for ten to twenty minutes without service. He would see me and not bother helping or acknowledging me. I liked when Mark worked. He was always kind and helpful. I finally stopped going because I never knew whether I would be helped or not. I went in a couple of days ago with my son and Mark was working. He was kind and pleasant like in the past. Too bad the other person wasn’t as helpful. I really love the food. If Mark is working I will stop and eat. If the manager is working, I will keep on walking. Not sure how he keeps his job.“

“My family and I celebrated my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary and we had a large party. The staff were welcoming and accommodating and the food was delicious. The service was delightful and prompt, our waitresses were friendly and all of our orders were correct. We absolutely couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves any better. Thank you so much for a memorable evening, I highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Our kids got their meals first and had the spaghetti and meatballs. They are very picky but loved their food.“

“Been going here for years. Knew the old owners he passed away a few years ago and we talked last year when she was going to sell. Our biggest concern is they would do away with the old ovens. She assured us that she had that discussion with the new owners and they were going to keep the old ovens. Well that didn't happen. We stopped there the other night and the pizza is still decent but not like it used to be. They cut back on the ingredients and unlike the old ovens there is no salt on the deck when they cook it. I am 66 years old and been eating cassano's pizza for 55 of those years. Sad to see the change.“
