    This is the most crispest, flavorful and well balanced Tomato Pizza pie in my opinion.

    Authentic Trenton style Tomato Pie
    Brian M.

    Off the charts good food! Incredibly authentic Italian food. From the Trenton tomato pies to the hearty meatballs, and everything in between... phenomenal! The Waite staff are attentive, and the prices are very fair. I love how it's just a small nondescript, yet comfortable interior. It's all about the food! Love too that it's BYOB. We have found our new favorite place!

    Zucchini Fritters, at Gervasios Italian Family Restaurant in Chesterfield, NJ.
    Tom D.

    1st Timers to Gervasios Italian Family Restaurant yesterday. I wanted to try their Tomato Pie after seeing a pic of one in the NJ Pizza Joints forum on Facebook. My Mother In Law ordered a chicken parm sandwich, and my wife went with the Chicken Milanese. We also had the Zucchini Fritters to start off with. Zucchini Fritters were outstanding, very tasty. Marinara sauce that came with the appetizer was spot on. When the meals came out, we realized we were definitely going to take some home -- super generous portion sizes. The Tomato pie was decent w/ no flop, and my wife & Mother In Law loved their meals. The arugula salad on top of the Chicken Milanese was a Home Run with my wife. The restaurant is smallish in size, but the atmosphere was cozy & inviting. Our server, Dylan, was funny & personable, we liked him (even my wife). We really enjoyed our experience at Gervasios Italian Family Restaurant yesterday, and we plan to come back again in the near future. The place is a Winner, an Easy 5 Star review.

    House salad (good portion, ok)

    I'm old enough to have good memories of the original G's in Hamilton. At that time there were many good to great Italian options in nearby Chambersburg. But this was a stand alone in the burbs. I'm happy to say that much of the good food has been recreated here, but service could use some improvement. I tried ti make a reservation for 7 for an early Saturday lunch, they don't accept reservations. We took our chances and met here around 12:45 and found an almost empty restaurant. We were assigned a booth with small table added that was not quite able to fit all of us. We were told this was our only option, we were not even allowed to switch the smaller table with one of the several empty larger ones, again we were told the owner doesn't allow it. For the few of us drinking wine we were given the tiniest of glasses. Sometimes this is the case but my astute relative noticed they also had full size red wine glasses on a shelf. We let this pass. The food was 4 stars. I was curious about the zuke fritters, I liked them a lot, the addition of bean purée made them milder and creamier, nice app to share. House salads come with many of the pasta and entree options and these are a decent sized chopped salad, possibly better than competitors. My relatives enjoyed their pasta dishes, and I can personally attest to the manicotti. I saw the chicken parm from afar and was not offered a taste, but by looks alone I'll try that next. The meatballs were above average or higher, as was the marinara and ragu. We were all too stuffed for dessert. I'm fairly close and will likely return for takeout at some point, I'm curious about the pies. While the customer service issues were a factor I'd give them another chance and chalk it up to an inexperienced staff. But it's nice to see a family business continue to serve younger generations.

    Margherita Sicilian Pizza
    Mike P.

    Super excited to have an Italian place open up in our local neighborhood shops! Tried them out last night for the first time. I think they've been open for about 2 weeks now. We decided to go with pizza since we were going with carry out. We ordered the Margherita Sicilian pie. They told us it would be ready in about an hour which seemed long for a single pizza order but they're new and I figured they were slammed since it was dinner time on Friday night. I wasn't sure where to enter since they have two outside doors. When I got inside the hostess was super friendly in directing me to the take out area. The young man working the take out counter was also very friendly and apologized for the long wait on the pizza order. He had about 15-20 tickets next to the register, so they were indeed slammed and he wasn't frazzled at all. After I paid I got my pizza within minutes so I didn't mind the timing at all. You told me an hour, I came in an hour, and it was ready. That's perfect to me! If you told me 30 mins and I waited 30 mins in the carry out area, then I'd be upset. The pizza was very good. Sauce was unique compared to other places in the area, and the pie had a nice crunch on it. Maybe too crunchy on the edges bordering on overdone. We'll definitely order from here again and look forward to trying out the dine in experience and some of the other entrees. Not the best pie that we've had but certainly worth getting again, and the staff interactions were enough to keep this at a 4-star for me.

    Light sauce...I eat half was hungry...but not enough to eat the rest...
    Bennett F.

    One star for friendly service! My wife and I decided to try this place out for a late lunch...happened to be in the area for a funeral. She had the chicken franchise with slices of garlic the size of thumb nails...soupy to describe the sauce would be an understatement...although not a huge fan of capers don't remember many chicken franchises coming with capers but there's did... I had perhaps one of the worst chicken Parmesan ever!! Asked for light sauce wasn't...server agreed and asked if I wanted it made again. I said no!! Forget the tasteless light sauce...the chicken "cutlet" were not pounded-tough-and burnt in the fryer!!! The rest of the stores in the complex were either closed or never rented... my guess this one will be next

    Fried Mozzarella
    Darsha M.

    Came for lunch on Father's Day and had a great experience! The tomato pie was my favorite, it was thin and well done. We also ordered the Sicilian pie which tasted great. For apps, we ordered the zucchini fritters and fried mozzarella which were good to share with a group. Overall, a great addition to the neighborhood!

    Penne pasta with a Ragú sauce and meatballs with a side of sausage. Delicious
    Christopher R.

    I grew up in Chambersburg a neighborhood in Trenton that was considered "Little Italy" back in the day. My last name ends in a vowel and my family could be considered American-Italian. So, I love good Italian food and I consider the food at Gervasio's some of the best. I got the penne (pencil points) with meatballs. The sauce, or gravy, was excellent. A ragú with meatballs on top. I got a side of sausage which was also delicious. The dish was piled high with pasta with a generous amount of sauce. It was perfect. The service was quick and friendly and our waiter Dillon was attentive. The ambiance reminded me of restaurants in "The Burg" as the music consisted of Frankie Valley, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin among others. I have eaten here before, will do so again, and highly recommend it to others.

    Grandma's pie. Yum
    Deanna B.

    Delicious sauce on the pizza. No flop! We went with Dylan the server's recommendations - grandma's pie and the Tony G - amazing. The homemade blue cheese is money as well. Family friendly and great service. A nice little pit stop on our way home from NYC.

They do not know your name or care about your childhood. I picked the Seasonal Stir-Fry, the Chesapeake Crab Stir-Fry. Egg white noodles. Crab with Old Bay seasoning. Bell peppers. Red onions. Scallions. Parsley. Seasoned breadcrumbs. Old Bay sauce. I swapped the grape tomatoes for mushrooms. I also ordered a bottle of Mexican Coke. Cane sugar as God intended. It felt almost rebellious to drink something that tasted like the 20th century. The place was nearly empty when I walked in, but within five minutes it was buzzing. Three line cooks moved like their feet were on fire. A young woman at the front kept the chaos civilized, sliding bags onto shelves and trays into hands with the calm of someone who has seen worse days. She was very good at her job. My order arrived hot enough to make my glasses fog. The crab was all body meat, none of the prized claw, but there was plenty of it. Sometimes quantity has a quality all it's own. The Old Bay gave a mild sting on the tongue and reminded me that flavor is sometimes about memory as much as ingredients. The napkins had a word search, a maze, and a spot-the-difference game on the backs. I did not touch them. I admired the idea though. It was a neat way to keep kids or bored adults occupied without wasting paper on disposable menus, flyers or tray covers. The meal and soda cost just under twenty dollars with tip. That is a little high for noodles and crab from a fast casual joint, but these are the days we are living in. All in all, I left satisfied, and asking for more than that from your lunch is just setting yourself up for disappointment. 4 stars.

During my recent visits, I noticed some inconsistencies in portion sizes. At first, I thought it might just be a one time thing, but today I had a chance to observe a few orders being prepared while waiting for my husband's smoothie. It seemed like some bowls were filled above the measuring line, while mine was slightly under. I completely understand that things can vary during busy times, but I just wanted to mention it as feedback. Consistency in portions would really help ensure all customers feel they're getting the same value. I'm sharing this with the intention of being helpful, as I do enjoy coming here and hope to continue supporting your business.

I enjoyed the vibe right away. It felt welcoming, and I could hear people around me enjoying their meals, which is always a good sign. I only ordered coffee (there's just one size option), and it was good and hot -- although my lid was cracked. They do offer either a to-go cup or a mug if you're staying, which I liked. I do wish there were a few more small Danish or pastry options to grab with a coffee. Sometimes you just want a simple little something on the side. The only thing I was curious about was the music. Worship songs were playing the entire time. I wasn't sure if the owners are religious or if the staff just didn't realize what station was on. It's definitely a bold choice and might not resonate with everyone, depending on their beliefs. That said, it didn't ruin my visit -- just something I noticed. Overall, I'd return and would be happy to stop by again for another review soon. **After posting and reading other reviews... maybe I came (in the morning) at a bad time and there weren't pastries available?

Oddly, the lights were either off or dimmed extremely low, but the bright sunlight streaming in was more then enough to get by. I do wonder what it is like on overcast days, though? The woman who made my salad certainly wasn't particularly friendly, but she was efficient and prompt. I've seen several complaints that this location is particularly stingy with the the toppings. My Southwest Chipotle Chicken Salad wasn't overflowing with the added ingredients, but I didn't have to hunt for them either. So, all in all, I would probably expect a bit more from a $12 lunch salad, but I was overly disappointed. I went in looking for a salad that would full me up for lunch, and Saladworks provided that; nothing more, nothing less.
