Been to this place alot because it's close to my house. The food is good sometimes, but ok others. Pricey. But it's 5 minutes from house. Tonight Waiter messed up and got the wrong pasta with the order. I sent it back. Then they came out and said I needed to eat the wrong pasta, as if I made the mistake. I protested and they finally made the new pasta but kept making a big deal about it. On top of that its pasta, why would you make a big deal about pasta around a good customer. Anyway the service is horrible and the owner does not know the first thing about customer service. I will not be returning to this resturant, where the customer is always wrong.

This restaurant is located just down the road. My wife wanted to try a new Italian restaurant. This restaurant is conjoined with La Campinina pizzeria. The hostess greeted us with attitude that reservations were recommended but not required for Saturday. The funny thing is that we there early before the evening rush and tables were open. This is BYOB restaurant.Our waiter was no better. He wanted to rush getting our order while asking for our drink orders. The meal was served hot and fresh but lacking seasoning and taste. The veal delizzioso was drowned in a white cheese sauce with little crabmeat. The cappellini napolitano had too much angel hair pasta. It also lacked taste. Boy we were disappointed this dinner. Never again!!

Ambitious menu for the location but the food is outstanding and the prices fair for what you receive. Friendly and attentive service. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Meatball appetizer and foccacia appetizer highly recommended; chicken dishes excellent as are the catch of the day entrees.

A group of us had dinner but I am only writing about a very limited number of items. Reading the menu, the descriptions of the entrees are really quite plain, almost nothing out of the ordinary. The only different description was for the shrimp cocktail so I ordered it. Five shrimp that were ok and a sauce made up of tomatillo, jalapeno, and pureed avocado, etc. The dish came with a tablespoon, no fork. I guess one is supposed to eat the sauce as if it were a soup. Considering the ingredients, not a good idea. In this case, they should have stuck with regular, plain cocktail sauce. My wife and I each ordered the crab cake entree - came with mashed potatoes and an assortment of vegetables. The potatoes and veggies were ok but the crab cake was the worst I have ever tasted. I like crab cakes, have had them many times and even make them myself but this patty (see photo) was pure mush and not very tasty. As the place filled up (largely an older crowd on a Saturday night), it became so noisy that one could only hear the person to the immediate right or left. Waiter was apparently unable to bring additional water and would reach in front of one person to serve the next person at the table. Not the place for us.

Love joints like this. Keep up the good work. The food was authentic and fresh. Service was nice and polite. The restaurant was clean. We enjoyed the lunch pizza special, side of meatballs, calamari pasta dish. All was very good and I would go back anytime! Thanks

Some friends and I happen to be in Cranbury New Jersey and we decided on Pizza. We went here and it had outdoor and indoor seating. Very Clean and very pleasant workers. Even though it was busy we didn't have to wait too long. The Pizza was fresh and delicious. I would recommend this place as they also have other Italian favorites and by the amount of people that were there I'm sure they would recommend it also.

The fried calamari and sweet potato soup were delicious. Both were freshly prepared but some of the calamari was over cooked making it chewy.Everyone raved about the short ribs and the Bucatini Carnoso. The pan seared Ahi Tuna was cooked perfectly but the garlic was slightly burnt making the dish bitter. The only real complaint was the moisture dripping from the overhead supply vent on to our guests and table.

Bring a sweater it was very cold inside. Bring a bottle a BYOB. Bring an appetite... huge portions of pretty good Italian food. Good bread with dipping oil I add parmesan cheese to enhance it.A big menu with a lot of variety. Soup or salad comes with your entree. Flounder franchise was a tad rich for one person, the cavatelli with broccoli was a hit and linguine with clam sauce was tasty. Would return.
