REVIEW UPDATE: My…read morehusband and I had dinner at Village Trattoria last Friday after work. It's been a while since we'd gone there to dine-in (like over ten years). You order at the counter, take a table number, and then sit wherever you want that's available towards the back of the pizzeria. We decided to order a large pie and salad to share. We grabbed drinks from the cold cases up front. - EJ's Greek Salad was delicious - nice mix of fresh ingredients and vinaigrette salad dressing on the side. - The Eggplant Parmesan Pan Pie is so good and one of the best in the area!

In a quest for Jersey's great pizza, we tried this spot. First, love the old school vibes and…read moreambiance. It feels classic old Jersey. BYOB and cash only. The food: we tried Tony's salad ($13.50), the baked penne ($14.50), and a classic cheese pie ($14.25). The salad was a robust mix of lettuce, olives, classic salad veggies, two kinds of cheese, and meats. Delicious and really flavorful salad. The pizza is great - you can taste the quality ingredients. That being said, it is a bit doughy. The penne was great albeit a bit basic. All the food felt fresh and truly made to order. Food alone - this is a 4.5 or 5. We happened to have terrible service - missing waters/no refills or extra napkins sort of deal which sort of put a damper on the meal. They were busy with a line out the door and lots of big parties so I will note that.

My husband and I have eaten here before which is why we chose to go here the other day. Usually the…read moreservice is good and we like the ambiance of the place. There are a lot of pictures and artsy things hanging around. We hadn't been in a while because my husband thought the place was closed for some reason. But to our surprise it wasn't and we decided to give it a try again. They don't have a liquor license-which I notice is pretty common here in NJ for restaurants to have a BYOB policy due to no liquor license. Despite this, we've usually liked the food here. This time I ordered the short rib dish which was about $30 which I was assured was a good choice and my husband ordered shrimp scampi. Now good is subjective right, as it pertains to food, it's all based on your individual palette. To keep it 100% the short rib left much to be desired and was short on short rib, heavy on noodles, and lacked all sort of flavor and personality. To say the least I took a few bites and just could not do it. My husbands shrimp scampi was similar as it as a bit bland as he described it but he was able to doctor it up. We explained this to the waiter and instead of taking it seriously he just nodded and said would you like me to box it or take it away. That was the extent of his care. He was an attentive waiter but his ability to solve an issue related to the quality of the food was despicable. My husband paid the bill, but I won't recommend this place to eat for us in any near future. Especially since they cannot stand behind the quality of their food. This was a disappointment by far especially the nonchalant attitude of the waiter. Give the place a try for yourself, but please do not try that short rib dish! It's not worth the money and a huge disappointment.

My boyfriend even likes their pizza better than Star. Service is always decent and you have to remember it's a bar so keep your expectations in line with that. My only piece of feedback is that many years ago, they used to have pasta purses in a pink sauce on the menu. I still dream about those pasta purses. I kindly request that they bring them back. It's a bar atmosphere with tvs everywhere and tables and chairs. Great place for a larger group of friends.

My favs are the chicken fingers, half subs and the California burger! A great lunch with juice/soda for less than $8 bucks #Winning This pizzeria is built for the hunger inside you. The portions are generous and might turn into dinner or a food coma lol. Food deets: - Chicken fingers. Real chicken lightly breaded and packs a nice crunch but ohh so juicy inside. You can add fries but chances are it will be overkill in a good way! - The Subs... Man how can I break this down??? The half subs are like a foot long- Amazing... If you're up for a challenge then try the full sub, but proceed with caution as you'll end up having the rest for dinner. My favs are Turkey salami and Swiss and the chicken parm... - California burger. A crispy chicken sandwich that oooohhhh so good! All in all this place is a winner on south orange ave. They accept cars BUT charge 0.50 extra if less than $10 greenbacks. Not to much seating inside but if your doing a quick a grab and go - this is spot is must try. Enjoy y'all

Then I ate 1 1/2 of the sandwich. About two hours later i began to feel sick to my stomach not thinking it was the sandwich. Well I took the sandwich out about to give my family half and all o see is mold, in the bread bread, all outside the bread on both parts. I'M DONE!

My family has been eating here for 20 years. I catered my baby shower with their food. When my…read morethree sons were little, every Friday night I'd get off the train from work and pick up a Pizza pie, a large salad and four of their specially bottled root beers. I love their fried calamari, fresh baked focaccia rolls, their garden salad with house dressing (sounds simple but it is the best I've had, ever), shrimp scampi and the best marinara sauce hands down. In addition to their classic Italian food, they also have a "Light Menu" for those watching their carb intake. My favorite is the unbreaded eggplant parm with spinach. I mostly opt for the take out option but I've also eaten in the restaurant many times - with my family, for girls night out and even by myself. Friendly service and a cozy ambiance.
