10. Pino's Pizza & Restaurant

Reviewed By Beth R

My husband and I love Pino's! We became customers after growing repeatedly disappointed with another local pizza place. As they say, everything happens for a reason. The first time we ate at Pino's, it was love at first bite. Everything we've ever ordered has been fresh and delicious! Their mozzarella sticks w/marinara sauce are the best I've ever eaten. If my hubby is across town, he will often pick up an order to surprise me with when he gets home. Another favorite is their eggplant parm pizza. It is simply a masterpiece, loaded with eggplant, ricotta & mozzarella, this place definitely doesn't skimp on anything.They do a great take out business, but if you'd prefer to sit down & enjoy your meal, they have clean, comfortable, adequate seating. I've never seen tables left dirty, even though at times it is quite busy. The folks that work here are really on the ball about cleanliness. The staff is alway welcoming, cheerful and polite. If you prefer to enjoy Pino's delicious food in the comfort of your own home, they do deliver. They also offer daily lunch specials and their menu is extensive. You owe it to yourself to give Pino's a try, I think you'll be happy you did.

D'Italia

Reviewed By missfifi2111

We visited for a quick lunch, and were not disappointed. The staff was friendly and attentive, and interchanged with one another serving us. The bread was warm and tasty, and they delivered another basket half way thru. There was a special lunch menu that looked interesting, but my one companion was looking forward to their famous shrimp parm hero, and my other friend ordered from the gluten free menu. Her ravioli were fine, but I thought a bit expensive considering the other menu items. The shrimp hero was good, just a little too seasoned for me. I would have liked some additional lighting, as it was a business lunch, and not a romantic dinner. However, I would recommend this restaurant , and it is BYOB, a real plus.

Pizza Time by far has the best pizza in the area. Only downside is there is no delivery. They do have a large dining area which is good. I have a toddler that is fond of tantrums so I tend to avoid dining out so that others can enjoy their meal. Delivery would be amazing for this pizzeria.

Olive Garden

Located in Woodbridge Center

Reviewed By charlesd288

First time at this restaurant. Went for a family celebration. I ordered a dish called 'Tour of Italy' that had Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna Classico, and Fettuccine Alfredeo. The ingredients were fresh, but the Sauce was not boldly flavorful. For me, the Sauce is the magical ingredient that can make the difference between Good, Very Good and Excellent. For dessert, I ordered a double Espresso. It was OK when I added Sugar. The Service and the Desserts were Good/Very Good and encouraged me to give it the third star. Prices are reasonable

Mulberry Street Restaurant

Reviewed By P F B

Upon entering the front door, I couldn’t help but notice the pay phone of the wall. Once inside the restaurant, I was quickly greeted, then took a seat at the bar. Very casual, pleasant atmosphere, with soft quiet music playing. The tables are all cover in cloth linens. The draft beer selection is limited, but there are a couple of seasonal craft beer selections available. At the bar, I encountered absolutely the friendliest staff and other customers. Just ordering had me laughing out loud with the crowd. The food is delicious. Delicious lobster bisque, great portion for price. Great portion on eggplant parmesan. Definitely will be coming back.

We literally drive from Long Island to go here, this time we stayed at Crown plaza Edison, and spent the day at Long Branch, very nice.The Seafood Tower Special for Two, $39, includes Lobster, Tuna, Clams, Shrimp, Oysters, Fruiti de Mare. I was full just from that. Always love the Rack of Lamb, Veal Chop was just OK. I think maybe next time share an entree or just order 2 more apps. Never know what to order anyway, too many choices.And of course BYOB!

Il Castello

Reviewed By Z7229JMmartins

Went here recently for the first time and was very impressed!The place was beautiful and ambience very nice. The menu had excellent choices of traditional Italian food, great wine list, excellent bar with hard to find brands and highly professional service. It’s a powerful combination and made for a very tasty and enjoyable dining experience!The entrees we selected included, veal marsala, chicken parm, grilled salmon, and scallops with grits. All were tasty, portion size generous, and received rave reviews.As a fan of bourbon, I was happy to see Angels Envy in the house ( very tasty and not easy to find). Manhattans were excellent and made with the big round ice cubes. This usually means a superior bar! It was!The restaurant also had a number of private rooms to celebrate special events and occasions. After our great dinner, I would be happy to have an event here!Definitely will eat here again!

The food is excellent and the staff could not be more friendly and accommodating. If you don't see what you want, ask and the chef likely can make it.
