Not sure what has happened but my last 3-4 visits to Brunos have just been ok. My wife and I used to crave their chicken cutlet sub with provolone cheese lettuce tomato onion mayo and oil and vinegar and the last few times it left us wondering what changed. We have been enjoying it for years so what changed? We asked ourselves is it the bread, the chicken breading and seasoning? Something changed? I wish I knew. When something is perfect why change it? It was so good but like I said the last 3-4 times we had it there was just something missing. Iâve had my own food businesses in the past and I know that sometimes something can just be off and that is what we came back again to try it but after 3-4 times something changed. Wish I knew. Just ainât the same.

Homey atmosphere and good food at this family-friendly restaurant. Pizza was delicious but be aware that it is bar pie size -- get at least two if you are with a few people. Good music and decent service. Try to get a seat outside if weather permits; less noisy and more comfortable.

Haven't reviewed this restaurant in five years, but thought it was worth another visit. It's always been a decent place; it's just that there are so many Italian restaurants in the area. Our meal this evening was very good. I thought my lasagna was delicious, and I enjoyed my caesar salad. The wine pour could perhaps have been a bit more generous, and the service could have been more attentive, but all in all, and very enjoyable meal. Prices are reasonable, maybe just a bit on the high side. Worth a return visit.

Tried this restaurant during Jersey Shore Restaurant Week and was impressed with the entrees we chose, they were delicious. Service and staff were friendly and accommodating. We had early reservation and by the time we left almost all tables were occupied. I would recommend the seafood, very fresh and tasty, also presentation was professional. Was a little disappointed in zucchini fries as they were very oily but the rest of our courses were extraordinary.

I took out two dishes from this fine establishment - rigatoni bolognese and penne with vodka, add shrimp. I also ordered sauteed spinach. They gave me broccoli rabe by mistake. I didn't notice until I got home. The food was very good. The bill was...$64.88. Ouch.The other "problem" is that the portions were a little on the small side. There was plenty of sauce, just not enough macaroni. Macaroni is pretty inexpensive - please add a little more!

The star ledger seems to have missed this goldmine of Pizza originality - grab a table for 4 bring a bottle of wine or beer - order a special salad and two large pizzas! Save room for dessert and walk next door to the bakery to select cookies, biscotti and pastries! What a dynamite dinner with a sweet treat for a song! Unbeatable

Had dinner there last night. Everything was delicious. I had the lobster special served over fresh linguini with lump crab and capers. My husband had the pork chop Brando style. Dessert was also delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant. Don was a great server! Will definitely be back.

I've been eating Vic's pizza for half a century. It has always been one of the best pizzas EVER. I have raved about it to other people as one of the best I'd ever eaten. So it is with a heavy heart that I have to downgrade my opinion. I ate there a few nights ago and the pizza was just not the same Vic's I've known my whole life. The pizza was not bad, but it just wasn't the real deal. Why would you change a recipe that has been sooo successful for soooo long? Especially when it's been rated as one of New Jersey's best. If you like super thin crust pizza with a mild sauce, then, by all means, enjoy the new Vic's. It's good. But it's not of the unique and delicious pie it was even a couple of years ago.Sorry to hear your recent experience wasn't to your liking. I promise you that the recipe hasn't changed and the same chefs who make the seasonings and cook the sauce have been here for 25-45 years. I am also sorry you didn't ask us in person about your suspicions. We could have communicated that nothing has changed to you in person and made something else for you if the pizza wasn't right. I sincerely hope you won't let one bad experience dictate your dining habits, especially after half a century of eating at Vics. I am sure if we got it right for 50 years that you wouldn't judge us on one bad experience. We hope to entertain you again in the near future and to meet your expectations.

I had an appointment at the Social Security office in Neptune, so I decided to go to here for lunch. It was crowded, so I sat at the bar, which entitled me to order a bar pie (which I had with mushrooms). If you like thin crust pizza (to my mind, the best kind), you'll love it here.
