Nice change with new ownership! Very good pizza and food. My wife had a dinner special of jumbo shrimp in a white wine and butter sauce with arugula and diced tomato. I tried some, it was Delicious! I had the chicken parm dinner, also very good.The dinners come with fresh baked bread and a nice mixed salad. Check it out! I think you will like it.

Good food, pleasant wait staff, and a lovely chat with Karen the manager. She is very attentive to the customers and notices the little things, which makes all the difference. Thank you for a lovely pleasant time.

This is a small place with a small parking lot. Inside is a typical style pizza area and a separate dining room. We had a 15 minute wait.The food is very good. The meals come with a large salad and bread that tastes freshly made. Typical Italian dishes. The waitress came to every table and gave each diner a sample half slice of pizza. The slice we tasted was very good. The service was decent but a little slow.

The pizza was very fresh and delicious.Their website says they also offer baked ziti, fish, salads, French fries, but they were nowhere to be seen when I walked in.You may have to ask for those.and its kosher.The ambience does not exist, so this is not a great place for a first date or to bring business associates.But if you want good pizza, this is the place.

Located in a small strip center, you can almost drive right past it. Some of the most authentic Italian food I have ever had. We had the Lasagna - fresh, hot and a huge portion; Potato gnocchi - again fresh, flavorful; Tomato based fish - tons of fish and a very good portion; Sea bass - some of the best any of us have ever tasted. The only thing keeping Luca's getting an excellent was the service - the young men had to be asked for more bread, water and what was for dessert. This will not keep us from coming back to enjoy a real Italian meal.

Brothers Restaurant, Middlesex County, NJ1020 State Route 18, North, East Brunswick, 08816-4302732-254- 7171 NOW THAT is Little Italy Italian. You want REAL The Bronx Little Italy Arthur Avenue ZESTY SAUCE Italian, but don't want to travel to The Bronx's Famous Arthur Avenue. Then, IF you happen to be in Middlesex County New Jersey off State Route 18 Northbound, stop in to Brothers. IF you enjoy ZESTY Tarty spiced sauce on your REAL Italian meals, then this is the place to stop for huge portion zesty Italian sauce meals at phenomenally low prices. I am calling to your attention by repeating ZESTY/ TANGY, simply because, at least once, each time we go there to 'scratch' that REAL Italian yen, but don't want to travel to The Bronx' famous Little Italy Arthur Avenue, and, we go to Brothers, we always here someone bring back the food and say it's just not for them = TOO TART/ TOO ZESTY/ TOO TANGY.... fair-enough... everyone has regional preferences; and while one dresses up to please others, you DO eat TO PLEASE YOURSELF! amen!So, let's be specific in my summary praise.YOU find yourself in Middlesex County New Jersey?YOU find yourself near State Route 18 Northbound in East Brunswick?You find yourself having a yen for genuine Italian food with that zesty, tarty, tangy flavor then stop off at Brothers East Brunswick for zesty, tangy, Meatballs "to-die-for", zesty, spicy pasta dishes you have to take home after stuffing yourself and engorging yourself totally satisfying your palate.you order, take a seat, "tractor trailer" seems to parks in front of your table with tons of food! BEWARE! you are not the only one who wants that magnificent zesty food. Bring your patients and be prepared to wait during peak times. Everyone else thinks it's well-worth the long waits on line to enjoy their meals.... IF you are also, and, again, you love ZESTY Genuine Italian Food that rivals Little Italy Arthur Avenue Bronx, then you will not be the least disappointed.AMEN! BON GUSTO

I sat at the bar and the bartender, Aaron, was a classic example of a hard worker, always in motion but he took plenty of time to ask how my shrimp and scallop linguine was (excellent!). I also ordered the prosciutto wrapped asparagus which was delicious. Adding an ice tea I was out of there for under $25, not bad considering I really enjoyed my food.Happy to return!

The carne pizza is really very good, beaten only by Franco Peppe's (we eat pizza often). The eggplant pizza was good - could do with more eggplant on it though. The large pizzas are enormous but being delicious nothing goes spare. We ordered through ubereats and wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.

Recently dined there with a small group of about a dozen friends. The food was excellent and well-prepared. The service was exceptional, the waiters were attentive and helpful. Prices were reasonable considering the more than ample portions served.
