The prices were reasonable too. The cold octopus salad ($13) and olive bowl ($6) were ordered for starters. The salad consisted of baby arugula, Calabrian chili peppers, and Gigante beans. I believe spring mix was used actually. Regardless, this was a well put together salad. There were plenty of pieces of octopus. They were a little inconsistent as some were tough, but they had the right amount of flavor. The beans were a pleasant surprise too. The olive mix had a good variety with plenty of them too. The large tomato pie ($19.25) was ordered. The crust was way thinner than I thought. It had good flavor, but was actually a little too crunchy, but nothing terrible where I would not order again. The tomato sauce was great, one of the better ones I had. It had a great balance with the tasty crust. Will I go back? Definitely.

Whereas most area pizzerias are in strip malls, Vincent's has called this former Dairy Queen home for just under 50 years. I had driven by countless times without a second thought, but recently decided to stop in for a slice to see how they measure up to other area pizzerias. Although Vincent's offers a tomato pie, I've had some of of the area's best tomato pies and come to the conclusion that it's not my preferred style of pizza, so ordered a (cheese) slice of the standard round pie. Service was warm and friendly, as the owner engaged me in conversation after noticing I had been taking some pictures outside. As the slice was being heated up, I saw area senior citizen regulars coming in to purchase some of their pizza dough, giving off old school neighborhood Italian market vibes. The slice was heated up to perfection, with a great tasting crust that complemented the high quality cheese and sauce. I was highly impressed, as it's probably the best standard cheese slice in the area. Overall, I'd rate their slice a 4.5/5, but happy to round up as Vincent's Pizza is delivering a quality product after all these years, whereas other Hamilton pizzerias that have been around for decades have had the quality slip a little over time. Now that Vincent's is on my radar, I look forward to returning here for pizza and trying out some of their other menu offerings, and would recommend them to others.

Pizza was decent, service was poor. They did not provide a time estimate for the order, so I called…read moreand politely asked for an update after nearly an hour. They were very rude on the phone and did not provide any update. Thankfully the pizza came after another 10 minutes, so I'm not sure why they couldn't just say "Your order is almost done" or "About to go out for delivery"? I don't mean to be too harsh over this, we got and enjoyed our pizza! But with so many great places with kind staff and stellar service nearby, it's offputting enough to warrant saying.

We were faithful customers at Mamma Rosa's, but when they closed down in '21, we were left in the…read morelurch and without a neighborhood Italian joint to call our own. We just quit going out for Italian other than for tomato pies, but now we've begun actively looking for a place to enjoy simple Italian food--outside of the ubiquitous tomato pies. Gennaro's was our first stop, with the menu definitely reading more New World Italian than Old World. We started with a couple of appetizers: The Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms in Scampi sauce and the Antipasto Salad. I'm not a fan of Antipasto salads (I've a three item max addition rule for salads and tomato pies), but my wife enjoyed it. It was your standard antipasto salad for the area--perhaps more generous with the meat and cheese than the last one we ordered up the street at Papa's. The stuffed mushrooms had a good flavor, and although the sauce didn't really hit me as Scampi (the garlic wasn't really there), it was still good on its own, and I'd order it again. My wife ordered the Pork Chop Giambotta, which she truly enjoyed. It was a thick, good sized pork chop covered with a sauce that included potatoes, sausage slices, and sautéed peppers. The menu said that the peppers were hot and sweet, but they were pretty much 99.9% hot peppers. If that's an issue for you, I'd make a point in mentioning it to your server first. My wife doesn't do spicy, but luckily I was there to find a home for the hot peppers, and she said she'd order it again if we returned. My Veal Saltimbocca, however, was a letdown. The veal was overcooked and had lost its tenderness, but most surprising to me was that it was very different from the standard version I've known for years. Had I read the description more carefully, I'd have caught the fact it was in a tomato demi-glace rather than the white wine and butter emulsion I know and love. Also, the ham that was used was not the thinly sliced prosciutto one normally sees, instead it was a thick slice of something that I can't honestly tell you was prosciutto or not. The use of spinach instead of a sage leaf wasn't a complete shock, as I've seen that before. Overcooked veal, the prosciutto mystery, and tradition straying aside, the flavor almost bordered on being alright, but it definitely wasn't what I'd hoped for when I placed the order. To add insult to injury, I asked for pasta as my side, and was given a couple choices--I chose the linguini and got served a dente-less spaghetti. When I asked the waiter (who was otherwise extremely conscientious and attentive) if they were out of linguini, I was told that there's really very little difference between the two, which so blew my mind that I just shrugged and ate. While we were there, we could see that there were many people who acted like regulars enjoying their meals, and many of them were also eating tomato pies, however, we're on the hunt for a place that's going to satisfy our need for an Italian place that provides beyond the pizza oven. I'm up in the air about a second shot--my wife was much happier than me with the location (which means we'll likely go), but I'll definitely ask our server more questions about what I'm ordering next time to avoid any surprises.

This place isn't just good... it's on a completely different level. With a massive menu that truly has something for everyone, Mannino's delivers incredible food, next-level service, and unbeatable value. Honestly? It's a solid 11 on a 1- 10 scale! Let's talk service. It was nothing short of spectacular. Co-owners Vito and Jose run the dining room with such precision, warmth, and genuine care that you feel like a VIP the entire time. Their attention to detail is unreal, and watching them keep everything running flawlessly in a bustling, fast-paced environment is seriously impressive. And the food... my goodness, the food! These are classic Italian recipes passed down through generations, but what truly makes Mannino's shine is the quality of their ingredients. You can taste it in every bite -- rich flavors, perfect textures, and this unmistakable touch of culinary magic. It's the kind of food that makes you stop mid-bite and say, "This is something special." If you haven't been to Mannino's yet, go. Don't walk -- run. It's a dining experience you absolutely do not want to miss. Harry Robinson CEO Technology Solutions Partners

And yet Nonno Sal's keeps the ovens hot and the lights on. There's something admirable about that. Persistence is a virtue, and so is knowing exactly what you are. Nonno Sal's isn't chasing the high end pizza pilgrim. You won't find philosophical arguments about char or hydration levels happening here. What you will find is a fairly dependable pie with thin crust that holds up, a good layer of cheese, and sauce that tastes like someone has been making it the same way for awhile. The slices fold without complaint and the toppings behave themselves. It's the sort of pizza you bring home on a Friday when everyone is tired and nobody wants to cook or a speech. The prices are kinder to your wallet than the famous spots nearby, and that matters. Not every meal needs to be a religious experience. Sometimes food just needs to feed five people without causing regret. The sandwiches and salads are solid citizens too. Nothing showy, just competent and filling. They even still do a nice version of Peppers and Eggs, which is a throwback I can appreciate. The dining area has a few old Formica tables that look like they have seen a few Little League celebrations, but not much regular use. You can eat there if you like, but this is a takeout joint through and through. In a world that rewards spectacle, Nonno Sal's rewards appetite and respects your budget. It knows its job and does it. That's more than can be said for most things anymore. Four stars for staying in your lane and driving it well.

It's one of those places that can be easily missed if you're not looking for it, as there is no signage along the road to indicate a pizza place (not one that I could see having passed by many times over the years). Italian eateries and pizza parlors are a dime a dozen in the area, however this one is mainly suited for take out, with a few tables off to the side to eat a slice or have a quick no frills lunch. It's definitely not a fancy place you'd want to dine in at, despite having a full menu of pizza and Italian dishes. We kept things simple by ordering a large plain cheese pizza and a chicken parmigiana sandwich. The pizza was slightly above average for a central NJ pizzeria, with decent sauce, cheese, and crust. It was a slightly thinner base and crust as compared to more doughy and thicker counterparts in the area. The chicken parm sandwich was similarly above average with decent ingredients. Everything was satisfying and on par for a good central NJ pizza experience. I'd rate my overall experience a solid 3.5/5, but happy to round up since the person working the counter was kind and thanked me when I went to pick up.

I half-expected him to hand me a clipboard and ask if I approved the latest inventory order. Despite the unexpected managerial responsibilities, the food was solid, and once the initial awkwardness faded, the service landed somewhere between "acceptable" and "I guess I'll allow it."
