Wanted a light meal before a show, at a cost effective price. Saturday night prime time prior to NJ State Theatre and it was dead. First impression....oh maybe we shouldn't! I ordered a small house salad to start and my husband to have, a small order of broccoli rabe and sausage. He said his was good. My salad was nice size, nice variety of greens and blue cheese dressing was amazing. We split a large pasta order of fettuccine carbonara was really the worst we've ever tasted. The plate looked like this: pasta, white cream, 2 inch thin slices of "deli-ham"; huge slivers of uncooked onion, and beautiful fresh peas (what?). So many chances to get this right, cook your ham, choose higher quality Italian procsuitto; onion grated or finely diced and add some zip....ZERO flavor.

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.

My daughter and I stopped in for dinner recently. The bartender was also our waiter and made very good suggestions for drinks and dinner! The quality of the food was excellent. Everything tasted so fresh! I will return again!

I have been going to Highland Pizza for about 7 years now. The food that was being made here is extremely delicious and always fresh. The people who used to work there were always very polite and understanding if any changes needed to be made to an order. Unfortunately, since the place changed ownership (about 6 months or so) the customer service quality has diminished as well as the time that it takes to prepare the food has increased. I still buy the food here but it is no longer my top choice.

Just around the corner from the State theater. If you're looking for fancy surroundings, this is not the place. Family business with super food and quick service. Have eaten lunch there many times and is a good place for a bite before going to the State Theater.

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.

Across the street from the main Panico's restaurant, but a totally different establishment, specializing in delicious thin-crust pizza.

We arrived fairly early in the evening, so it was very quiet. The hostess seated a very noisy group right next to us in a nearly empty restaurant. Service was OK. The food was OK, typical Italian style food. The fish was good.

Italian- leaning cuisine with Greek elements, this homey restaurant is run by a Greek family. Irene, the co-owner, pitches in with the regular chef, and often cooks the Greek dishes and desserts. Service is friendly and helpful, if not always speedy. Locals come regularly for the good food, atmosphere and daily specials (which are often among the best offerings).

We had not dined here for a very long time. And that was our mistake. The food, the service and the ambiance are all first-rate. Our group included several Italians as well as others who had traveled to Italy multiple times. The consensus on Catherine Lombardo was "top-notch," "excellent."Several of us had the Lasagna, a house specialty and it did not disappoint. Ditto for the Eggplant. I should mention that not only was the food great, but the portions were enormous. Several people took home enough for a second meal at home.Our server was friendly and helpful but not intrusive. We will be back. It's a great spot for a pre-show dinner if you have tickets for the State Theater. Welcome Back! And thanks for your kind review.

We went there for dinner and we had fried calamari and octopus as entree. While the calamari were delicious the octopus was served with peas and sauce which extremely strength the taste of this fish. Same story for branzino: extremely good quality of food but too much dressed with other flavors. Sweets were nice.Surely it deserve another visit as the quality of ingredients is excellent however I suggest to make things simpler.
