    Hands down THE BEST PIZZA EVER! The sauce is so hood and the pizza is not greasy. Definitely a 10 Dave so you must check it out. On top of the pizza being amazing the staff is so friendly. Thank you for a great experience and will be back.

    Di Amici sub

    This is my local Italian eatery and I'm not disappointed at all! They have a huge sign that boasts pasta, pizza and subs - which at first glance might have been a lot but after trying their pizza and subs I can say they have a great handle on their full menu. Let me first say how nice the staff are. Full of smiles - they made me, a new EB resident, feel right at home. (It helped that I was rocking my team Italia soccer kit - hey, what can I say? I was feeling my Italian side this morning). Ambience was great and onto the food. Today I had the delicious Di Amici sub which was a large 12" hero stuffed w a juicy grilled chicken cutlet, melted provolone and seasoned roasted red peppers! Delicioso!! I planned on eating only half but I couldn't stop chomping and before I knew it it was all in my belly. Last time we ordered a couple pizza pies - margherita, and a sausage & mushroom. Both were great. And I'm comparing these subs and pizzas to traditional standard bearers in NYC and Hoboken and Cafe Amici more than holds their own. Ciao amici!

    Half pepperoni and half Buffalo Chicken Pizza with a side of ranch! So good!

    Great pizza and great customer service! We just moved to East Brunswick and this was our very first meal in town after unpacking so we were starving! They easily accommodate half/half pizzas. We got half buffalo chicken and half pepperoni and it was so good! They don't skimp on any of the toppings! The buffalo chicken comes with your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing which, is provided in a generous portion. We also got the chicken caesar which, was good but not amazing. I will be trying a different salad next time! Overall, super friendly and accommodating staff. Great pizza that was ready for pick up in 10 min. Definitely, recommend this spot and I will be ordering for here again!

    Ordered the amici grill chicken sandwich. Was ok, disappointed for that price it could have been more tasty, like caramelized onions, bay leaves.

    This place is good for pizza. I've tried a few items on the menu but no luck. Their plain pies are good and mozzarella sticks or any side appetizers are okay. The staff is nice, always friendly and the place is always clean. I was pretty excited when they first opened up since there's nothing else in that area but I feel like their food has sorta gone down in quality. If you're passing by, I'd recommend them to stop in for a slice but not go out of your way to come here. Sorry guys.

I wanted pizza so bad so I went along with my husband's choice, even though I was apprehensive about this place regarding the pizza. Upon walking in, we were greeted immediately by the staff behind the pizza counter. When you walk in, the ordering counter is right there and you can choose to order to go or sit & dine in, as well as table service. We decided to dine in with table service. The area seemed small space wise but there were plenty of tables and it did not feel crammed. I luckily browsed reviews prior to visiting because they do not serve wine or beer but you can BYOB. We brought a bottle with us to open at the table. I do not recall being charged a corkage fee. Since I was craving pizza, hubs was also game, so we went with a large pie, with half pepperoni for hubs. We also ordered garlic knots, hoping they would be real knots instead of rolls. Our food arrived in a timely manner and was fresh. I was disappointed though because there was so much sauce on the pizza but hubs was happy since he loves extra sauce. I didn't think to ask for light sauce because there usually is not a lot of sauce on pizza up north but I learned my lesson. Hubs thought the pizza was good. The knots were rolls so I was disappointed on that aspect as well. We were in the area for a training Hubs had to attend and he had this place for lunch one day and said it was also good. The service was great and the food was okay, I would just ask for light sauce next time.

The strip mall itself isn't anything special, but the surrounding area is beautiful , and once you're inside, the restaurant feels warm and inviting. The food is fantastic, and the variety on the menu is impressive. The chef clearly knows what they're doing because every single dish we tried was genuinely delicious. It's the kind of spot where you can't go wrong: date night, dinner with friends, or anything in between. We brought our own bottle and had a great time. Our waiter was super knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. The staff even joked around with me when I forgot my to‑go bag, and yes, I absolutely took it home because the food is that good. I also appreciate that they don't act like offering takeout is beneath them; even the takeout bag was nice. I honestly wish my meals were this good every night. I hope everyone who works here is paid well and enjoys what they do, because they're running the place exactly how a restaurant should be run. It feels like a true community staple somewhere that transports you a bit and makes the whole experience feel special. Lovely all around.

Upon entering, each guest is warmly greeted by the host / waitress as family and seated. Each table is served house made bread before the meal. The special of the night, pork rolls stuffed with herbs and cheese was hearty and wonderfully cooked. The plate was delicious, but at around $40 it was a bit pricey for the portion. There was a birthday while our party was dining and the owner led the restaurant in singing a birthday song accompanied by piano and followed it up by playing some classic Italian songs afterwards. The service was wonderful and each guest was personally greeted and thanked upon leaving the restaurant. It's clear that the restaurant is well loved by locals and the owner. If I was celebrating an occasion area I would likely come by.
