    Very good sized slice for under $3.
    J W.

    Good slice at a good price. Generous sized slice for under $3, which is a very good price in this day and age. Decent crisp on the crust and good overall taste. Solid slice if you are in the area.

    Grandma with pepperoni

    The pizza is solid, good even, but two times I called in and asked for LIGHT CHEESE, EASY ON THE CHEESE and got an edge to edge cheese bomb. This is more cheese than the picture on the website, whyyyyyyyyyy! I should have looked in the box when I picked it up. Also this pizza was $27?

    Penne vodka with crispy chicken
    Candace S.

    My favorite penne vodka around Very tasty. Kind service. Any time I'm craving penne vodka, I will continue coming here. They also decorate for holidays which is epic!

    Half and half grandma pie

    Amazing pizza!! Staff is super friendly, overall great service. Definitely going to be our regular pizza spot!

    Grandma vodka slice, vodka hot honey pepperoni slice, white slice, and square slice

    Old school Italian pizzeria known for their grandma vodka slice. All these were singular slices and we had the guy behind the counter split each into 2! Grandma vodka took the top spot with the vodka variation coming in second (the vodka sauce is unbeatable and with thin crust makes it feel nice and light). I'd say it's a tie for the white and square (worth mentioning that the crust for the square was like focaccia, super airy and doughy ). Great spot for a quick bite, feeling the NY Yankees love in the joint. Will be back!

    Sicilian Cheese Pizza
    Taj T.

    When first looking at the shop and the pizza itself, you'll think "Okay, typical New Jersey pizza joint". Then you'll bite into a slice and BAM. Very classic flavors and very classic texture, but done SO well. I just felt like everything from the saltiness of the sauce, the amount of cheese, the time the pizza was baked was just perfectly balanced. This might be sacrilegious, but in some ways I loved Carlo's pizza better than local gem Prima Pizza (now don't fight you two, I still love you both and I promise to split business with you evenly...I'll just be buying twice as much pizza every week so we all win, especially me ) The standout for me was the "Seafood Pizza", which came with calamari, shrimp, and scallops. You gotta love seafood obviously but this was such a unique offering and fit so well with the cheese and sauce that I was sad I only ordered a half and half. Then again, the "Eggplant Parm" was very good too. Carlo's might not win any awards for being a cutting edge pizza restaurant...but who cares? It's clearly got some roots in honest pizza tradition and tastes freaking great. With reliable taste and service, Carlo's has won my allegiance

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.

Luca's Ristorante is a hidden gem that proves you should never judge a restaurant by its parking lot. Not long after we were seated, we were greeted by Luca -- a Luca and not the Luca. Still he was warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about his restaurant, taking the time to walk us through the menu and checking in throughout the meal without ever hovering. Luca's has a partial liquor license, offering a modest wine selection but is otherwise being BYOB. As we were told with a smile, they're much more interested in what's ON your plate than what's IN your glass. We started with two excellent appetizers. The arancini, already a family favorite, were crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and disappeared from the table faster than anyone was willing to admit. The Polpette, Luca's signature meatballs with pine nuts and raisins, certainly earned the praise they've received from NJ.com as some of the best in the state. Even if raisins in meatballs sound unusual, trust the process. The restaurant proudly calls itself "A Taste of Ischia," the beautiful volcanic island in the Bay of Naples, and the seafood absolutely lives up to that promise. My squid ink pasta with octopus (the Polypus) was outstanding, with perfectly tender octopus and beautifully balanced flavors. The scallops were buttery, sweet, and cooked to perfection, while the Ischia -- loaded with mussels, clams, and calamari -- was every seafood lover's dream. The rest of the menu proved just as impressive. The Pappardelle, featuring burrata and a rich Bolognese sauce, was a huge hit, while the Romolo, a comforting combination of chicken, pasta, bacon, and sauce, was another winner that had no leftovers to speak of. If you somehow still have room after dinner, Luca's offers a nice assortment of gelato. But do yourself one favor: don't leave without ordering a cappuccino. Rich, foamy, and expertly made, it's the perfect finale to a memorable meal. If you find yourself in Somerset, just a few turns off Routes 287 or 1, make the stop. You'll be greeted by a wonderful staff, treated to outstanding food, and very likely leave wondering how a restaurant this good has been hiding in a strip mall all along.

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.

We called ahead, and the restaurant gave us a quote and helped us set up a prix fixe family-style menu with several options for each course, which made everything easy for a large group. The service was excellent, especially considering the size of our party. The food came out smoothly, and the staff was attentive throughout the meal. On to the food - The bread was incredible warm, soft, and so good that I ended up taking some home. Food highlights: - The calamari was crispy, tender, and one of the best appetizers we had. - The salmon was another winner. - The chicken parmesan was soft, steak, and other entrees were all solid and everyone at the table seemed happy with their meals. The biggest surprise was dessert. I expected the tiramisu to be my favorite, and it was very good, but the standout was the warm apple crostata (apple dessert) served with vanilla ice cream. I totally ate more of that than i should. It was absolutely delicious and ended up being my favorite dessert of the night. Overall, Maggiano's did a fantastic job accommodating a large birthday celebration. I'd definitely return for another special occasion.
