1. Jozanna's Casual Italian

Reviewed By JK207 - Piscataway, New Jersey
We eat at Jozanna's at least 2-3 times a month! Food is delicious and everyone is so friendly. It's a great family owned place. If you go after 5-5:30 be prepared to wait. It's very small so gets crowded but worth the wait. Also a BYO! Portions are huge---we always ask when we place our order to pack up half to go! You won't be disappointed!

Good food with a very helpful staff. The Dumplings are so light and airy the melt in you mouth. The chutneys and sauces are fresh accompaniments. The rice dishes are wonderful and if you can't decide what you want with you dinner they'll let you split your order. The chicken and lamb chop dinners are good choices. Dinners come with a small salad and soup. Usually there are leftovers for lunch. The piping hot fresh bread is amazing!

We visited Girasole last evening to meet friends we hadn't seen in a while. We had never been there, but we will return again! Fantastic meal in a great environment. Ambiance was perfect, energy but not noisy, service just right. The Giambota was perfect, I asked for hot peppers and they were perfect. My wife had the seafood pasta, and it was very good and enough left over for lunch today. We loved it! BYO fits perfectly
4. Dunellen Hotel

Reviewed By Terry M - Marstons Mills, Massachusetts
While visiting my daughter and son-in-law in NJ we went over to the Dunellen Hotel on a snowy evening. We have been there several times and always been pleased. One of the specials that night was a stuffed pork chop that was the biggest thing I've ever seen. Three in our party opted for this and thought it was delicious. Only one was able to actually finish it. I was looking for comfort food and found it in a huge chicken parm dish. It was excellent. A great evening of good food and good conversation!
5. Blue Sheep Bake Shop

Blue Sheep made the cake for my daughters baptism. Excellent customer service, so helpful in selecting my cake in the green brook location. Picked up in somerville. Cake tasted delicious and looks so amazing! Vanilla cake with chocolate butter cream inside and hombre pink roses in buttercream on the outside. Sometimes those fancy cakes taste dry, old and awful. Not here! The cake was fresh moist and i enjoyed delicious leftovers for a week! Their cupcakes are delicious also, loved the chocolate covered strawberry cupcake. Thanks Blue Sheep!

Had dinner here tonight with family including two small children. Our server, Katherine, was great with the kids, service was fast and friendly and we enjoyed the atmosphere. Our table had a variety of beer and drinks and all were wonderful. We had two different pizzas and both were great but the true winner of the night was the cheese curd appetizer; true Wisconsin style.

This restaurant doesn’t think so. The chicken stir fry would have been good had it been hot. Unfortunately it wasn’t. My wife’s chicken pot pie was good.

My family has been fortunate to have celebrated many occasions here. Wedding Anniversaries, BabyShowers, Grandparent Birthdays (etc.) and we have never been disappointed. The staff is more than cordial, and willing to please. We will continue to celebrate those special moments here.

Simply a great place for a beer and a meal. Casual, friendly, laid back attitude all around. My lady thoroughly enjoyed the salmon. For me - the classic 55 pie [a bit heavy on the sauce, but thats personal preference of course.] and the tailgater sausage sandwich which was even delicious cold on my hike the next day.
