Located across from the Stafford Township administration building, it is equal (IMHO) to Buddy's Carlos Bakery in Hoboken!

Taking over what was once a photo shop, Jimmy and his father Jimmy put Luna's, Umberto's and Ferrara's (All NYC Little Italy Landmarks) to shame for taste and freshness. A combination Italian delicatessen and restaurant a hidden jewel on the Jersey shore. Remember to save room for the flakey and lucious Lobster Taisl and Cannolis made fresh to your order!

8. Rita's Italian Ice

Been frequenting this Rita's for some time now. The staff are always responsive and make exactly what you like. The owner is even more customer focused as he has frequently taken orders for future batch flavors for repeat customers. As a diabetic, with only one sugar-free flavor at a time, the option of suggesting a favorite flavor is deeply appreciated.

Probably the best and most visited Italian restaurant chain in America, always reliable of a tasty meal. Well done pastas and protein dishes, unlimited soup or salad w/breadsticks with most dishes. Specials on occasion, try the gnocchi or seafood specials.

They offer a special of two pies and a liter soda for $24.99- not a bad deal- but I ordered two pizzas each with HALF topping (only on one side of each pizza)- mushrooms and anchovies (I think I counted six anchovies in total on the half of pie) and the bill was almost $40- REALLY?- too expensive for my tastes for basic pizza and "Half" a topping- No excuse- it IS NOT a high rent area like on LBI and actually a little tough to locate....just a bit of a gouge I'm afraid. When you call for pick up- if they tell you 30 minutes- give them 35 minutes....

How unfortunate. Brazzi truly does have good food, but their prices are a little steep for what you get, but even more so than that, their staff is a MESS. Every time we order something, there is ALWAYS an issue. This most recent encounter included the staff members on the phone telling me the items that I was trying to order are not on the menu or not at the price I was mentioning. I said, "I'm literally looking AT YOUR MENU. How are you telling me that a salad doesn't come with dinner (it says that it does) and that your side of 3 meatballs doesn't cost 4.95 (like it says on your menu)?" I also asked if they could replace the pasta with my dinner with Spinach, which they have done for me every time I go, and the guy said it would be an up charge. I asked how much and his response was," Uhhh.... 3.50?" Are you asking me or telling me? And how is it 3.50 today and last time I wasn't upcharged, and the time before that I was upcharged $2.00 - who is running this show?! Are you guys just flying by the seat of your pants and winging it as you go?! Finally after all of this confusion and me expressing my frustration to the woman on the phone, she responds by saying, "Fine, then do you not want any of this now?" I said," Any of what?" She said, "This order. You want me to cancel the whole thing?" WHAAAAT!? NO! I'm just saying that to have on your menu one price and then quote/charge me another is unethical. I have worked in restaurants my whole life and I understand prices change (as do certain items like specials or season availabilities) on , but not week by week at random depending on who I speak with. What is this a car dealership!?! It's sad because as I said, the food is good and the location is convenient. But I WILL NOT be ordering from here again. It is not worth the headache - not when there are other great restaurants to choose from.

Everything from thin and crispy cheese pies to pies covered in vegetables. Lots of sandwiches and pasta also available. The slices are large because they only slice each pie into 6 wedges.

We went with a large group, had our own space. Service was very efficient for such a big crowd. And, the restaurant was already full. Good fresh salad. Nice bread. This is BYOB. Entrees were very generous. Food was good not great. Pasta was somewhat overdone. A good Italian place in a shopping center. Welcome to the Jersey Shore.

Greeted warmly, seated quickly, and enjoyed a fine meal: nightly special chicken with artichokes, olives, and tomato over spagetti. My wife had a very nice, and substantial eggplant parmigiana. Very nice meal. BYOB, though they have a local winery's offering of wines for sale. Great service, crisp, well dressed simple salad, all done in a quiet, pleasantly simple room. Very nice dinner.
