The strip mall itself isn't anything special, but the surrounding area is beautiful , and once you're inside, the restaurant feels warm and inviting. The food is fantastic, and the variety on the menu is impressive. The chef clearly knows what they're doing because every single dish we tried was genuinely delicious. It's the kind of spot where you can't go wrong: date night, dinner with friends, or anything in between. We brought our own bottle and had a great time. Our waiter was super knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. The staff even joked around with me when I forgot my to‑go bag, and yes, I absolutely took it home because the food is that good. I also appreciate that they don't act like offering takeout is beneath them; even the takeout bag was nice. I honestly wish my meals were this good every night. I hope everyone who works here is paid well and enjoys what they do, because they're running the place exactly how a restaurant should be run. It feels like a true community staple somewhere that transports you a bit and makes the whole experience feel special. Lovely all around.

If you're driving down from anywhere to central NJ and Rutgers University area & want that "I found…read moremy spot" feeling -- Victoria's Tratta Italiano is "it". You walk into this warm amazing & friendly place on Church St, New Brunswick, smell that brick oven firing, and the owners themselves, might pop by your table to ask how the pasta & food is. Isn't that amazing & extraordinary!! You can truly enjoy this family own spot. The owners and staff "show up", and say how's the food, how are you doing? Not once's but multiple times!! Each time with an amazing attention, jokes that we could not stop laughing pleasantly. The waiter was also amazing, pleasant and very gentle. We came down to New Brunswick for our daughter graduation at Rutgers, and looked at various restaurants in the area and selected Victoria because they had a great variety of food for each member particular preference. We had: - Garlic Bread with Olive Oil. - Fried mozzarella calzone - Pepperoni Pizza - Fettuccini Alfredo Chicken - Wild Mushrooms Filet Risotto - Chicken Parmesan And I had the Papa Mango Salmon which was amazing. If you like Salmon I highly recommend it. To top it off limoncello and sambuca did its final touch. Thank you Victoria Tratta Italiano. It's a go-to before a show at State Theatre or Stress Factory, which I have been to before, because it's literally around the corner, parking's easy in the deck, and they won't rush you out. Service feels amazingly cool. Bring a date, bring your kids, bring your parents, bring the whole birthday crew. They do it all, and they'll make you feel like you are family at Home.

The picture of the buffalo chicken pizza looked too good not to try. The sad part was that there is…read moretoo much stuff on the pie, and since they threw it in the box so hot and gave it to the driver like that, all the stuff slid over the edge of the pizza and into the corner. After doing some Dr. Frankenstein rearranging of cheese and chicken, we were able to eat this pie. The good part is they use Franks, which I love, so the pie was spicy and had a familiar taste. But the crust was bland and the chicken breast tasted like it had no seasoning. There was a ton of it, but it was just a chore to get through. So overall I say 3 for that pie, but I bet if I went in and ate it there and it wasn't such a mess it would be an easy 4.

We had a nice, relatively secluded area in the restaurant for our party of around 25-30 people. We were started off with hot & cold antipasto served family style: Tomato & onion bruschetta - a simple dish, but still super yummy! fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers & olives - again, standard, but well executed fried calamari - crispy and delish! served with some scrumptious marinara sauce! Portobella mushrooms sauteed with white wine, garlic & seasoned bread crumbs - this one was the surprise of the appetizer round, great stuff! We then got a round of mixed greens with balsamic vinaigrette - simple, but refreshing after the app round of cheeses and breaded things. For my mean, I opted for the filet mignon, served with a delightful balsamic glaze, a vegetable medley, and whipped potatoes - peeeerfectly cooked to order (medium rare), a really nicely sized portion, a real winner! Aside from a birthday cake that was brought from an outside vendor, we were treated to an assortment of in-house desserts, like cannoli, cheesecake, and tiramisu, all served with tea, coffee, cappuccino or espresso. I can definitely understand why my parents have been raving about this place (and that a mutual friend of my parents and the birthday boy/man recently had their own 70th birthday party there). A bit of a schlep from the city, but it really was a lovely night with great food, plentiful drinks, and a bounty of good times, laughs, and cheers.
