    Came for family dinner. We had reservations just in case but ended up being seated promptly. Service was extremely friendly, especially Chef Paul! The restaurant offers homey, casual vibes and popular Italian dishes. Chicken marsala, filet mignon, short rib, and penne vodka entrees were ordered and all enjoyed. Desserts are all made in house so definitely give those a try.

    We enjoyed drinks , and a meal in the outdoor patio. Medeline was great and attentive. The chicken parm was cooked perfectly and tasted great! Will be back!

    Stuffed Filet of Sole Dinner

    Their soup was better than the entree I got. They had an Italian wedding soup. I ordered the Dover sole and that was disappointing. It came slightly fried like it was a sole francese with too much crab meat on top. Got so sick of the crab meat while I was eating it. It came with vegetables that tasted so sour. The potatoes were alright. Maybe I ordered the wrong dish. My waitress was nice but she didn't try everything on the menu. I'm not sure I will return. Table next to me got a chicken Marsala and an eggplant Parm. Maybe I should have had what they had. The Dover sole was kinda disappointing.

    Extremely happy I love the atmosphere. It's very quiet. The ambience is very great. The food is extremely delicious. I've recommend the salmon or the chicken.

    This reminds me of an old school Italian restaurant where they have been an institution in their neighborhood. I appreciate that that make their own desserts. We made a reservation for 5 on a Wednesday night. It was dead when we got there. The restaurant was totally decked out for Christmas. It had low lights and warm home like ambiance. Gorgeous Christmas tree near the bar. The food was decent. We all shared one order of calamari and one order of the house salad. My entre was the clams with linguini. Our server was warm and friendly with us. I had the tiramisu for dessert. Very good! However one of my biggest issues is it took 30 minutes to get our drinks. She brought the bread and waters right away and the we waited for our wines and cocktails for what felt like a long time. Even though it was dead inside the whole meals took over 2 hours. Of course we were chatting the whole time, but getting our drinks, dessert ( homemade ) and then the checks etc was long. I would recommend they cut at least one page out of their menu and focus on speed throughout the meal.

    Flourless chocolate cake

    I came here with a large group on a Sunday. We had reservations for 5:30 but ended up there at 5 and they happily accommodated us. There was a special on the "blue lagoon" drink, a tropical cocktail, that most of our group ordered and really enjoyed. There were no fun non-alcoholic drinks, this is more of a traditional Italian place, so I opted for soda. In the salad portion of the menu there is "burrata insalate" and I guess because it was in the salad section instead of the appetizer section I imagined a full salad with, prosciutto and tomatoes mixed in and a creamy burrata on top. The plate was wonderfully presented but I was disappointed that I was sharing because it didn't seem like enough! The portion I did have was delicious. I am briefly on a gluten free diet for health reasons and it has been hard at times to dine out. When I asked about gluten free options they presented a full menu which was nice to have especially in an Italian restaurant where most dishes are expected to have gluten. They have gluten free pasta which has a different consistency but didn't mess with the flavor of my dish. I got the pasta with broccoli rabe in a garlic and oil sauce (pugliese) and added hot sausage. It was good but could have used a bit more flavor, maybe parmesan or a fresh squeeze off of a lemon. My sister got the seafood risotto which was superb- seriously no notes on that one! We finished the dinner off with a flourless chocolate cake. It was very rich and I was glad we were sharing, but I am not complaining, the fudgyness of this cake was divine.

    We went here on a Saturday night with 7 coworkers from out of town. We got a table (I'm told we were lucky). I would call and make a reservation next time. Food serving sizes were big. Price was great. Taste was awesome. All freshly made. Service was excellent. A happy server makes the experience even better. When I come back in the area I'll come again. 5 stars!

Initially, wood fired pizza was my draw here and the server mentioned that 12" sizes are available despite not listed on the menu. Thankfully, another server saw me waiting and waiting to place my order. Only 2 servers and the place was surprisingly busy so service was lacking in addition to the disappointing execution of my meal. I played it safe, I thought, and ordered the mixed veggie salad with salmon. The salad was a pathetic array of about 6 Boston lettuce leaves and then an inordinate amount of sloppily sliced red onions, way too many capers, and drowned in a tasteless vinegarette all served on a huge platter. Maybe a nice place to grab a happy hour drink ...but too much competition for food in the area to dine here.

Over the years I have heard nothing but good from friends -- "Excellent" "Exactly like they make it in Florence!" "Best Italian food I've ever tasted." I went with a party of four. For appetizers we split the Polpo E Patate (grilled octopus & potatoes) and Patate Fritte (French fries). The octopus was amazing, tender almost like perfect scallops with a tasty pesto. The French fries with herbs, garlic bread crumbs and pesto were crunchy, tasty, delicious. For mains my companions had Branzino with eggplant carponata, an amazing 4-cheese Gnocchi, and swordfish. I tasted all, and all were spot on; everyone loved their main course. I had Linguini Vongole (clams and linguini); the clams were perfect - tender and tasty; but the star of the show was the homemade linguine, seasoned perfectly and cooked to al dente perfection. We finished with cappuccino and Tiramasu. The service was excellent. Attentive and quick, and our waitress, Merin, was able to answer every question about the menu with authority, and even about the ingredients and preparation. The ambiance is understated, relaxed, and what you hope for when enjoying a special meal. I am quite stingy in passing out 5-Star ratings; I reserve them for the best of the best, for restaurants where I'm confident readers will also enjoy an outstanding meal.

We were brought downstairs to a large room full of tables and were the only ones in there. We wondered if we'd insulted someone, or if one of us might be 'offensive', (no one was) but as it turns out, it was a 'Godsend'. We're all in our 70's and hearing/speaking can be challenging in a crowded/noisy dining room. We remained the only ones there for almost the entire 2 hours we were there and really enjoyed ourselves without having to yell or ask "WHAT!?" We shared a couple of salads (Greek and Arugula) and calamari, all very good. My wife had the seafood capellini and one sister the seafood fra diavolo, which they both enjoyed. My other sister had a seafood salad and my BIL went for the double cut pork chops, which he too enjoyed. I opted for the Halibut / risotto. Halibut is not an easy fish to make 'moist or juicy'. I make it at home and it comes out 'pretty good' (at least my wife says so) but here, this portion was fantastic! So light an flaky and tasty. Definitely give it a try if you enjoy Halibut. We all shared a couple of desserts... a home made carrot cake and a chocolate cake from 'outside'. Both good, but the carrot cake was served warm, which was a first for all of us... and it was terrific! Without a doubt the best carrot cake we'd ever had, so save a little room for their carrot cake if/when go. Our servers, Alyssa and Dagmar provided excellent service as well as some humorous dialogue while we were there. Made our meal just that much better!. Yes... it's a BYOB!

The place looks like a dump and we questioned even getting out of the car. Not sure what was worse, the rudeness, the smell of mold or the dumpy atmosphere.... Read on and I'll share what we experienced. Mistake #1 deciding to go here Never heard of the place but saw on the gps there was an Italian spot while cutting through town. We went for it! Mistake #2 getting out of the car We pulled up to a gross old building, crumbling parking lot where people were creating their own parking/ blocking in each others cars. It was completely bizarre. After much debate about how to park and not have our car hit, we parked. We kept seeing people coming out of what looked like a rear kitchen/ service door. Odd. We walked through the horribly lit parking lot, in bad need of a repave and made our way to the front door. This door is street side and has an unlit sign over it. I pulled the handle only to have half of the metal handle pull off in my hand??? What in the world! Two elderly gentleman cutting through the lot on a walk let me know that the "kitchen entrance" was actually the main door. When they saw how perplexed I was, they laughed and said "There in lies the problem. This place is weird and doesn't have a proper entrance. Did you try the broken handle yet?" Followed by their laughter. Wonderful! They told us to not have big expectations as this is the local greasy spoon and to hold our nose when we entered. I'm not going to lie, we debated getting back in the car again as we walked past it.... Which brings me to mistake #3 Mistake #3 Not getting back in the car when we had the chance We entered into the building and were immediately hit in the face with a smell that I can only describe as that of and old wet basement paired with a moldy wood smell and a kitchen in need of an air out. It was not good. A guy came up to the host stand (a random podium in the dining room) and asked for our reservation- not if we had one- but the assumption that we must have one to dine at this fine establishment. I told him no we just came in and he immediately snickered at us and said, "come back in an hour" Ok Peter Luger. Best Decision We Made #1 immediately leaving It's really unfortunate for a place to have such crummy interactions on the heels of giving gusts every reason to run before even coming in. A simple- hey we are booked with reservations, let me peak to see what we can do- ok first spot will be in about an hour. Does that work for you? Or how about, have chairs???? There's literally nowhere to wait. You'd have to stand in the smell waiting and hoping to not get legionnaires disease. I would not recommend this dump.

And surprisingly, this happened to be a very well known restaurant as our other coworkers knew about it! It's located across of CubaNu Restaurant & Lounge on the corner of Lewis St and Main St in downtown Rahway. There's paid street parking and parking garages around the area. My coworker and I shared their Calamari Al Forno, tossed with Italian sausage, hot cherry pepper, and balsamic glaze. And wow. Who would have thought balsamic glaze with calamari would be sooooo good! I'll definitely be ordering that combination again. The mix with the Italian sausage and cherry peppers added a nice kick to the dish. Both of us could not stop eating it even though we wanted to save room for our pastas. Our meal was off to a great start! I ordered their Linguini de Mar which was supposed to have four seafoods: shrimp, calamari, mussels, and clams. Unfortunately, mine was missing the calamari. However, the pasta was incredibly flavorful and the seafood was cooked perfectly - not overdone or underdone at all. YUM! My coworker got their Cheese Ravioli with the Bolognese sauce (unsure if it was extra as I didn't see the check). She loved her pasta as well! She's usually a light eater, but she devoured half the calamari appetizer and all of her pasta, which speaks volumes about how much she enjoyed the meal. I felt that the one downside was the unusual amount of water I drank (maybe ten cups?). This was my own personal indicator that there was definitely some sort of flavor enhancer which wasn't a negative thing. I'm not certain, but the food was very good, so kudos to them if that's the case. Overall, definitely a hidden gem! We unfortunately didn't try their pizzas/pies but this will definitely be on my list again the next time I visit. Or I may opt in for another round of calamari al forno and pasta again, haha!
