I was really impressed by Osteria Procaccini. My boyfriend and I do not know the Trenton area that well, so we really put our faith in the Yelp reviews and went to this place a few weeks ago. The space is very open and just looking at the menu made us hungry. They have a very solid wine list here and you can even buy bottles to take home. The antipasti tray was a tad on the small side for our group of six. In retrospect, I do wish the waiter had mentioned that to us, but the rest of our dishes (various panini sandwiches and pizzas) were the perfect size. This was a great spot for lunch and probably just as good for dinner. If we ever find ourselves back up this way, I imagine we'll be back here to try more! read more

A great local restaurant in Pennington! My friends and I went for the first time on Tuesday night and sat at the bar. Everyone on the staff was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating the hostess, Danielle, the bartender Tony, and especially John the owner. The wine is a great value and the pizza and salads were delicious. I know I'll be back often with family and friends. read more

Went to Osteria for the first time this past Saturday night. we tried a few different pizzas and all of them were flavorful and tasted great. I believe that Nomad's still has the best pizza in the area but I would visit Osteria a lot more often because of it's larger dining area and for the wine and beer. read more

Awesome pizza! My wife and visited the island of Malta a few years back and loved the delicious pizza. The small island is beautiful and memorable, and I've never tasted anything as good as their pizza. Wonderful crust and fresh cheese and ingredients on top. Pizza at Osteria Procaccini reminded of that great pizza I thought only existed in the Mediterranean! read more

Awesome pizza and a great craft beer selection. The service was fast and friendly. Will definitely go back.

Delicious Italian food. Get the Greco salad and Pizza Dora. Don't forget the Nutella pizza for dessert!

Great spot. Went for lunch and got the prosciutto rollatini which was unbelievably good and then a pizza that was in special (spinach) which was great as well. Very nice ambiance here. Pay attention to the beer specials as I got a shipyard pumpkin ale for only $3. read more

I will preface this by saying I really like the location, vibe, and food. My family eats here frequently and has had no issues with service or quality of the food. The one thing that needs to be addressed is the air quality. For some reason it's always humid and smells like cleaning supplies when you walk in the front door. This is not the sensation I want to have as I get ready to eat a meal. Please do something about this! read more

My family is a frequent visitor to the Kingston location and we are pleased to see another branch come to Pennington. The pizza is exemplary. Fresh, local ingredients served in a casual, family friendly atmosphere. The servers are attentive and friendly. Unlike the Kingston location, the availability of wine, liquor and beer is a welcomed addition. Especially the selection of craft brews on tap which pair nicely with the selection of pizzas on the menu. And the pizza is really the best part of the Osteria. Their pie is everything you want in an artisanal pizza without the pretentiousness of a white tablecloth restaurant or the red plastic booths of the prototypical pizzeria. The Osteria is just a friendly, comfortable place with great food. read more

Who could believe such a great place in a strip mall. If we had not been to their much smaller (and BYOB) location in Kingston, Rt 27, just north of Princeton, we would not have come here. Plenty of seating in a warm and friendly atmosphere with wine by the glass or bottle and a number of craft beers on tap. Sometimes you just want a glass of wine and not have to worry about driving around with an open bottle in the back seat. The pizza is thin crust and crispy with great choices in fresh toppings. Did I mention thin crust, this is not the thin crust that I grew up on in Brooklyn, but thin almost cracker like with charred ends. Fresh made salads that are enough for 2. Prices are fair, but if you don't pay attention, especially since you can have a table conversation and be spaced far enough away from other tables. You can run up a tab on beer and wine. But if you and your table are having a good time with family, pizza and salad, it is worth it. read more

Came at 830pm on a Wednesday night. The only 20 or so tables were full. Had to wait a bit for a table and it then took at least 20 minutes after being seated for 1 of 6 waitstaff that were more often just standing around than serving to come over to take our drink order, and that was after I had to ask. Waitstaff seems kinda clueless, LOUD is an understatement, took forever for our food to make it from being set on the counter to someone actually bringing it to our table, and 60 bucks for two salads and two only so so pizzas isn't worth it. Hit up Vito's or Pennington pizza. Great pizza there for cheap. read more

Terrible service, waitress was more interested in her phjone than customers. Pizza was good. A very noisy place though, needs better acoustics. read more

The menu is limited to Pizza, salads and paninis, but they are all very good. From my limited experience in Italy, everything was authentic Italian. They also have a full bar if you are so inclined. My only complaint was the service was so so. read more

Had the pizza special today. Figs and Gorgonzola. Wow, it was good! My friend loves the Z pie, so we had that too. Prices are high, but worth it. Go and enjoy read more

Was recommended to us from friends. I am not a pizza fan, but this pizza was VERY GOOD. First the salad was a great start to the meal. Plenty for 2 to share. If you life craft beer, the selection was great. Goose Island, Firestone Walker IPA and the local favorite River Horse. We have been back 4 times and have had a different type pizza every time. You can not beat the price of under $50 (including tip) for 2 people, app,pizza, booze, and dessert. I thing I would love to see changed would be a better selection of soda, the Italian stuff is so so. Other than that, we love this place! Staff is very friendly. read more

Fantastic terracotta baked pizza in a cozy Italian eatery. You have to try the cannoli and gelato. Everything is sourced locally and made from very fresh ingredients. read more

The menu is a great example of less is more. About 8 sandwiches, 8 pizzas and a few salads. The sandwiches and pizzas are great! It can get loud at times, but that's true of any restaurant. Nice Italian wine selection and a handful of good beers on draft. I've been there a handful of times already and I'm sure I'll return soon. read more

This location isn't worth the money. The portions are small and the place is so loud and chaotic. Not enough staff, we were there on a Friday night. The Kingston and Crosswicks locations are much better. L read more

We had meatballs amazing. We had two pizzas. White pesto with balsamic drizzle and fresh mozzarella with pep and sausage. Both were delish. read more

Very nice find based on yelp feedback from others. Only a few miles from my hotel. Ordered white pizza and salad to go and it was very good. Would hesitate to travel to far. Staff was extremely pleasant and service was great. Would recommend and return. Was small inside and full but there was additional outdoor seating read more

The food portions were a great size and extremely flavorful. The restaurant was clean and well managed aside from the very low class distracting attire worn by the staff. I was confused that a place that presents itself so well could have such a distracting uniform. You would think that ducks are serving you with the orange shoes. All in all great place to eat with both friends and family. read more

This is such a cute little place. We had salads --which were huge and delish-- and shared a pizza. I had the greek salad and it was fabulous, my dining partner had the ceasar, which was also good. We both had some wine, which is very affordable and tasty. We shared the startup pizza (mushroom, mozzarella, and sausage) and it was delicious. The service was on point. We will definitely be back. read more

Nice addition to the area. I'm partial to Nomads, but I was very happy with the quality of service and food here. Nomads is a bit more laid back, but this was a pleasant and more formal experience with a great wine selection and even a small bar. Osteria had a broad and appealing appetizer menu too. Staff was attentive and pleasant on our visit. read more

Came here for a casual birthday dinner with family after reading reviews on yelp and it did not disappoint. Each dish was bursting with flavor and the service was very good too. With four people we split 2 apps, 2 pizzas and a dessert and were all very full. read more

A few kind words to start. I love the concept of this place. Sometimes it's nice to be able to grab a drink and not worry about BYOB, they have a nice wine and beer selection. I like the atmosphere a ton even though it does get a bit loud. Also everyone on staff has always been really nice and pleasant. I'm not a huge fan of their pizza. The crust is meh, it's often overly floppy. It would not be my "go to" local choice for when I was in the mood for pizza. But usually I'm happy enough to go, I like some of their salads and the meatball appetizer is yummy. It'd probably be a 3 star review on food. The service, though friendly as I mentioned, has always been really spotty. Recently I waited and waited and waited to give my order. I waited to get my salad, but a reasonable amount of time, and then waited and waited and waited to get my pizza. 45 minutes into sitting down and I've had salad? There were just two of us. 1 salad. 1 margarita pizza. So we got the pizza to go. It did not improve with travel and time and I hadn't had any wine to mellow me out so I just left pretty frustrated. read more

The pizza and salads are consistently good. Reasonable prices for food and drinks. Service is great. Glad to have them in the area!

This is really a 3.5, but u rounded up. Came here to meet up with friends and immediately got a table, disclaimer...it was labor day so most people were probably home. The staff was very nice and welcoming as soon as we walked in. It's located in a strip but is larger on the inside than you would think. We got a nice table by the bar and were served immediately. Again, we were only among 6-8 other tables in the place, but it does seems like a place that would get busy on a non holiday day. I like brick oven pizza mainly for the thin and crispy crust. They had a great selection of pizzas and the flavors didn't disappoint, however I felt like all our pizzas could've been left in the oven for another 30 seconds to a minute to really get that crispy crust. I noticed that my friends pizza was soggy, along with mine, in the center. It made it difficult to pick up the pizza and eat it without all the toppings falling off. Their desserts were excellent! It seems they rotate desserts daily and have specials. The guys are the table were really excited about the peanut butter explosion, which was very good. I opted for the cheesecakr and cannoli. The preferred the cannoli over the cheesecake...the cheesecake had a very strong orange flavor that was not to my liking. My only qualm was with my wine....when I ordered the first glass, I noticed the glass was a little dirty with brown and rex specks. They kindly replaced it, but the second glass had the same specks on it. They told me it was from the cork, but cork doesn't stick/stain the glass. I didn't want to be a bother so I just drank the wine with my eyes closed. Overall a pretty good brick oven spot hidden in a strip. read more

I've visited a handful of times and have always left well pleased. Friends were in the mood for some brick oven artisan pizza, so we decided to stop by. The atmosphere was comfortable and calming, as always, while the Italian in me loves the wine bottles displayed on the walls. Our server was very courteous and congenial. We all settled on different varieties of pizza to try. The pies were delightfully crispy and as a buddy related "They certainly don't skimp on the toppings". I especially recommend the Raffaella la Calabrese if you're in the mood for a white pie with a unexpected but welcomed kick. Unfortunately, I had to dock them a star as my pie was a bit soggy in the middle, but otherwise all pies were absolutely perfect. We finished our meals with an assortment of cannoli, cheesecake and the "slice of the day" - Peanut Butter Explosion. Upon ordering, I knew it would be good based on the name, but how I underestimated this dessert. I can honestly say that the Peanut Butter Explosion now holds a spot in my top three desserts ever eaten. We enjoyed some conversation after dessert without feeling rushed, bringing our evening to an end. If you seek artisan style pies with an old world flare, I would certainly give them a try. read more

My husband got a groupon for a vineyard so I searched restaurants in the area and this place had good reviews. They staff and our waiter was pleasant. Sorry I forgot his name. We both ordered a pie. My husband ordered Pizza Vongole, the red pizza with the baby clams and I ordered Ruchetta e Prosciutto pizza with prosciutto, arugula, and balsamic reduction. My pizza was delicious! The arugula and the balsamic reduction were awesome! I gave this place 3 stars because my husbands pizza was eh. The clams were a bit chewy and the pizza lacked flavor. We shared the large cannoli which I enjoyed. My husband considers himself a cannoli expert and told me it was just okay. I wish I could give this place 4 stars based off of my pizza. If we ordered my pizza only I would have given it 4 stars but we didn't so I can't. I do think it is a nice spot and if I were in the area again I would probably order the same pizza again. read more

Absolutely fantastic pizza! Their whole staff seems like they genuinely love being there. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent pizza. Fresh ingredients. Friendly server. Will come back next time passing through.

Great green arugula and beet salads with a lot walnut and goat cheese at this place is just want I needed in a day. It's very relaxing dining there and the terra cotta oven pizza is just the way I always expected, not salty and oily at all. All ingredients are fresh and service is proper. If you are on diet, a salad is pretty enough for one person. read more

I have been here 3 times this month, usually on a Friday night between 5:30 and 6pm. Have been seated right away. The food is very good, love the pizzas!!! and that's what keeps me coming back!!! If I lived closer, I would order it to go! I believe that it is a new opening, not sure when, reviews go back to June and that they have another place in Kingston. I think that they have alot of kinks to work out. Service is hit or miss, depending on where you sit. Waiters and waitresses do not know their stations and tend to walk by you instead of waiting on you or at least asking if you are. Management tends to be standoffish, not very friendly with everyone . They also need to work on their employee handling skills. If you are a people watcher, you will enjoy the setting and the knowing that the atmosphere is forever changes! read more

Located in a mini-strip mall, this location lacks the quaint charm of the Kingston Osteria. For larger parties and an open bar, head here. The pizza is outstanding in both locations, but the Kingston location pizzas have a more smokey, crisp taste. Maybe it has to do with the smaller space and different ovens. Nevertheless, still a great place, 4 stars here, 5 in Kingston. read more

OMG...This is AMAZING! The salads, pizza, wine list are terrific. Service is very good. Z who is one of the owners is always there, could not be nicer and oversees the staff and service. Why not? This is the key to a successfull establishment. Please keep doing the same. read more

Great thin crust, crisp. All pizzas are 12". Fresh, local ingredients. Reasonable wine prices, generous pours. High ceilings, can be noisy. Large dining room. Service was fine. Will definitely be back. read more

We had just ate at Osteria fresh off of their soft opening weekend. Osteria sits in a tiny strip mall that is hard to get to and you can drive by it in a blink of an eye. The decor is new but very loud. Everything is either stone or metal. We ordered the burata salad which was good but they say they use fresh local organic ingredients but the tomatoes definitely didn't look or taste like rich red Jersey tomatoes. We then ordered the Ruchetta Prosciutto which was really salty. Probably because they cook the Prosciutto, not good. The crust is a thin cracker crust, which is fine but if your looking for a doughy pizza then this is not the place. The manager never came over and asked us how everything was. I would think after just opening the manager would be all over the place chatting it up. We were excited to have a new place in Pennington because we are so starved, no pun intended, for new restaurants. But we have enough pizza joints in the area that are much better, i.e. Nomad in Hopewell or Vitos in Pennington. Maybe after time they will get their kinks out but for now we will pass. read more

Great atmosphere, friendly service, fresh ingredients. Had the Greco salad and porchetta pizza...it was fantastic. Will be back!

Most delicious mushroom pizza, thin crust and crispy, like in Italy, with aromatic mushrooms. Clam pizza was also yums, with lots and lots of clams. Some in our party got salads and enjoyed. We love the local flair and reasonable wine selection, plus a family environment. No pasta here, but that's alright. They do not close between lunch and dinner, which is nice because you can show up early (for dinner) or late (for lunch) and avoid the crowds. Thank you, Procaccini, happy to have you close by :) read more

I guess everyone has their pet peeves and mine is punctuality. So when the sign says open at 4pm. I expect to be able to walk in at 4. No, I'm knocking at 4:05 only to be told they aren't ready, floor is still wet. 4:12, more people waiting outside, luckily it was warm, and finally they open. Not a very professional tone to set. Probably wouldn't bother most people, but didn't set a good tone for me. That being said, the food is delicious, actually better than I remember. I always get the orange blossom ricotta cheesecake for dessert. A must try. Service is ok to good. read more
