    Garlic knots - dry, not my favorite, wouldn't get again
    Brittany M.

    I hate to say it but I didn't love Brooklyn Boys. If we are talking service- they were great. The person who took the order over the phone was patient, the girl who gave us our food and checked us out was friendly and offered us plates and seasonings. Two of my friends were in from out of state and of course, when in Jersey you have to get PIZZA! I'm not unfamiliar with this area but all my favorite pizzerias are at least 15 mins away, so I wanted to get them something closer to their hotel. I saw the good rating and heard from a friend that it was good so I landed on Brooklyn Boys. We order garlic knots, white pizza, & vodka margherita. The garlic knots were so dry they were stored in a pizza box. I felt these were more like garlic dinner rolls. The garlic knots I know are soaked in a buttery garlicky oil, these weren't that. The white pizza was good but again, a bit dry. I would have liked more ricotta all over under the mozzarella. It also just didn't have much oil, which I understand is a preference. I know some people who blot their pizza to get some grease off, I'm not one of those people. In fact, I once went to a pizzeria where they give you flavored oil with your pizza to enhance it, those are my people. I saved the best for last- the vodka margherita. The vodka sauce had a good flavor and there was a good amount, the fresh mozzarella paired nicely. Overall, I didn't feel like this was a good representation of Jersey pizza, or Brooklyn for that matter. For what it's worth my guests thought it was generally tasty and were happy, they said it was better than what they had in their respective states, although they too were very disappointed with the dinner rolls, ahem, "garlic knots".

    Today I had the shrimp parm and boy was it MAJIC! The shrimp were meaty, pause and in heavy abundance!! Perfect amount of cheese, like it wasn't overwhelming but it was like a commercial that when I pulled away for a bite I had a loooooong cheese string with each bite . Sauce was beautifully flavored thru and thru; And da pasta was cooked perfectly! Service was cool as per usual and the inside was very clean and up to date. Can't wait to come back again. Oh yes their pizza is bomb af too! I just went with pepperoni today but so tasty, and the perfect texture of crisp and thin but held its integrity!

    It is known for its specialty pizza slices, such as Buffalo Chicken and Margherita, as well as hearty hero sandwiches. Many reviewers highlight the thin-crust pizza as a standout, though some note that the wait times can be lengthy, especially during busy hours or with online orders The ambiance is welcoming, and the establishment is clean. The pricing is reasonable and they have a variety of Italian offerings beyond just pizza. It's a good choice compared to other pizza shops in the area.

    Ordered the Chicken cheesesteak with no mushrooms and peppers. I repeated to add extra cheese (twice) which is not in my receipt. Reconfirmed with my daughter that ordered "The Lucky Seven Sub." which she confirmed I did say it. Anyhow, the quality of the sub my chicken cheesesteak was nothing like Philadelphia chicken cheesesteak. Taste was bland had to add salt and pepper to give it flavoring. As for my daughters sub (Lucky Seven) it comes with grilled chicken. I've never seen grilled chicken so difficult when she bit into it. It was like fake grilled chicken not the real chicken it was like school cafeteria cheap chicken. A piece of frozen chicken defrosted in the microwave. Was hoping it would be chicken when you bite into it just melts in your mouth. Not the case for this place. Dining area was very clean bathroom needed cleaning. I went there and it looked nasty. For the price I paid for lunch and this is lunch no specials you are being charged extra if using your credit card, If you do not use cash on top of that I tipped. Honestly, It was not worth the money that was paid for the quality. But hands-down to the dessert which was cannoli that was the best thing throughout anything else.

    The pizza was not what I was looking for in a Jersey pie. I'm in no way am saying it was bad. Growing up in NJ there's a type of pie that I expect. I love flying home every year and making pizza my first priority after getting off the plane. The restaurant looked really nice and the service was outstanding. Give the place a try and see what you think.

    This is my go to dinner treat after a long rough day at work!! It's a short ride from my job! Pizza and salads are always superb! The BBQ chicken is our favorite! Love the onions on this pizza! We have also dined in! Great service! Highly recommend!!

First, it is VERY loud in the restaurant, hard to have a conversation without talking very loud. While the service people were very nice, the service was so - so. They took about 20 minutes to come over, we ordered cocktails and an pasta as an appetizer. It took about 20 mins for them to bring bread after we ordered. Then the cocktails and app came out immediately after. Cocktails are meant to be enjoyed before your dinner, not during it. While the cocktail was fine, I wasn't interest in having it at this point. I had a couple of sips. The bread they brought out was fantastic. One of the best breads ever. The pasta was amazing. I really enjoyed it. We had the buccatini with guaclian (sp?). So I really looking forward to the Pizza. We put in the order for our pizza, went to the men's room and when I came back the pizza was on our table. Very strange it was so fast in less than 5 minutes. I am sorry to say the pizza was horrible. Soggy crust and dry pizza, not sure how that is even possible. Crust and pizza in general had no taste. I had this strange feeling the pizza might be premade and maybe they just add the topping for your order I don't know. Overall, it was very much a tale of 2 cities. Iffy service and horrid pizza. Yet great bread and pasta.

Over the years I have heard nothing but good from friends -- "Excellent" "Exactly like they make it in Florence!" "Best Italian food I've ever tasted." I went with a party of four. For appetizers we split the Polpo E Patate (grilled octopus & potatoes) and Patate Fritte (French fries). The octopus was amazing, tender almost like perfect scallops with a tasty pesto. The French fries with herbs, garlic bread crumbs and pesto were crunchy, tasty, delicious. For mains my companions had Branzino with eggplant carponata, an amazing 4-cheese Gnocchi, and swordfish. I tasted all, and all were spot on; everyone loved their main course. I had Linguini Vongole (clams and linguini); the clams were perfect - tender and tasty; but the star of the show was the homemade linguine, seasoned perfectly and cooked to al dente perfection. We finished with cappuccino and Tiramasu. The service was excellent. Attentive and quick, and our waitress, Merin, was able to answer every question about the menu with authority, and even about the ingredients and preparation. The ambiance is understated, relaxed, and what you hope for when enjoying a special meal. I am quite stingy in passing out 5-Star ratings; I reserve them for the best of the best, for restaurants where I'm confident readers will also enjoy an outstanding meal. Mangia Toscano is clearly 5-Star; it is *the* must-do restaurant in Metuchen.

When the extra item was found on the bill there was a bit of a dispute and back and forth but they fixed it in the end. The wrong dish was a compromise on our party's part, one of our friends accepted the plate even though it was not what she ordered, there was no move to fix it on the restaurant's part. As far as the food, it was not my top Italian choice in the area, especially when factoring in price. I felt the food was not as flavorful as some of the competitors nearby, especially the appetizers.
