This is a nice restaurant and nicer looking as well than their old space in Trenton. Much bigger and now with well dressed up busboys, the place was buzzing for meals. We came here for a pizza meal and got the big red with olives, pepperoni, and pineapple. Nick was trying to upsell us for more food but we were good. Pizza is still good and I believe still using the same oven imported from Italy.Hello, I believe you may have mistaken us for a different DeLorenzoâs... we do not have pineapple on our menu nor anything referred to as âthe big redâ. Our ovens are also not imported from Italy. We are DeLorenzoâs Pizza on Sloan Ave. in Hamilton NJ. (Near the AMC movie theatre)

The garlic bread was really good and actually had enough garlic on it! Dinner salads were OK. The entrees for our group were all good. Desserts good.Prices a bit high for the area.

Recently ate here with more daughter who lives on the area. The staff are great, very welcoming, polite and made sure we had everything out entire dinner. The restaurant is a little older, but it was clean and wasn't too loud. The menu offered a nice selection of Italian style foods at a reasonable price. The chicken parmesan was very good, lightly breaded with a nice balance of cheese and marinara sauce. The pasta dishes were also good, but huge (certainly more than one person can eat) and had a generous portion of seafood mixed within. Overall it wasâ a very enjoyable dinner in a very welcoming atmosphere.

To get the best tasting Italian food in the area Cugino's is the most authentic Italian Market I have been to. Take home meals taste like you had at an upscale Italian restaurant or the best home cooked from an Italian family .Their menu is extensive. From dozen of choices of Salads, Bakery, Panninis, or just side dishes. Take home is serious business in which you need to know or see the Cugino choices before you call or stop in. If not you will be awhile before you order if you decide to make your selections at the store. Everything will look scrumptious .I choose the Italian Cheesesteak, The Best I every had. Service was excellent, friendly and informative. They really took their time in answering our questions and explaining the different choices. It is worth to stop by even if it is just to educate yourself on the immense selections Cugino Italian Market offers.

I loved the spicy shrimp bruschetta. Lobster butter sauce is a delicious touch. Fair pricing, nice presentation, great flavors and exceptional service is what you can expect. I went here for a working lunch and my meal was served in a timely manner. In and out for about $20-25. Lunch plates are all around $15. Recommended

The food is excellent. The service is pretty good but slows down quite a bit on weekend nights. Fresh salads, delicious pasta, and really good octopus appetizer. Nice for takeout. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the pizza, while good, isn't amazing

We had a college event in the area for our daughter and enjoyed a perfect celebration dinner for our family and her close friends. It's BYOB and we brought a bottle of champagne to toast. The vibe was very comfortable and relaxed. We enjoyed the family style fresh garden salad and baskets of warm bread. We all enjoyed a variety of pasta entrees with vegetables, seafood and the oven baked lasagna. Portions were huge and prices very reasonable. Everyone was full and most of us took home enough leftovers for a lunch or two. No room for dessert. Our server was very friendly and efficient. There was a larger party nearby, but the room was divided nicely and we felt more private. The owner stopped by a couple of times to check on us and was very kind on the phone when we spoke ahead of arrival. We had a very nice time and will definitely be back.

Enzo's is a charming neighborhood Italian-American BYOB that I would love to have in my own neighborhood. Two specials -- fresh soft-shell crabs and a rich short-rib ragu over tagliatelle -- tasted homemade and luxurious at the same time, simply presented but really delicious. The romaine in our family-style salad was a little leathery, but escarole and beans were an excellent green side. The dining room is small and, on a Friday night, jammed, but the pace of service was great and all servers friendly and helpful.Thank you so much! Hope to have you become a regular and serve you again soon.

Our family went to celebrate a special occasion. We were seated outside in a very makeshift patio. It was a cold, rainy day, and the wind was blowing through the sides and of the plastic sheets hanging as outside âwalls.â No more ne thought to tape them done until we suggested it as we were reallyfreezing. Our table was squeezed into a small platform with a tricky step down. The food was good, but we didnât linger too long because of our physical discomfort. We asked twice for bread and never got it. Very disappointing.I am disheartened about your experience and glad your food was good. Unfortunately Mother Nature did not cooperate with the day. During the spring / summer season the side panels are removed. The restaurant confirmed all reservations in advance mentioning the forecast would call for 100% rain and high winds if sitting in our patio. The restaurant staff made everything possible to accommodate with overhead lamp heaters and fire towers making the environment comfortable for outdoors dining as much as we could. We welcome you back Chef Salvatore Scarlata
