    amazing food and amazing service. the slices are HUGE and so worth your money. I come here almost every day and the service is AMAZING. I love it here so much and you definitely need to try it.

    Cheese Slice
    Alex W.

    The pizza is good, but the place is definitely a bit on the expensive side. $4.50 for a cheese slice and some of their other online prices look insane.

    Broccoli, garlic, olive oil, xtra cheese, no red sauce. Our favorite!! Yum!
    Nancy S.

    We've only gotten the pizza at Nino's. The Brooklyn Pie is really great and huge! It's a square pie that has a super crispy, olive oil, crust. The cheese is plentiful and the sauce is delicious. The other pie we love is a broccoli pizza (no red sauce) with mozzarella, olive oil, and garlic. So good! Toppings are plentiful.

    I don't know why this place isn't five stars. Step inside and you're magically transported to Brooklyn. They're pizza is a classic style, and very good. Nice crust, well made pies, excellent mozzarella sticks, and good wings. It's classic Jersey service and NY style pizza. You're not going to find arugula on your pizza or shitake mushroom, nor are you going to get white glove service. This might rub some Princeton folks the wrong way. But Nino is a really friendly guy past his tough exterior, and the food is great.

    Best pizza on earth

    I have been going here for almost 7 years. My family went here almost every Friday and the pizza never disappoints. The food is delicious I normally get the buffalo chicken and it has been my favorite since childhood. The service is always great and never gave me a hard time. I always loved the feel of the place since they have painted its looked good but I still loved the old one too. Even though I moved I still love their pizza and look forward to it every time I visit.

    Front entrance

    Located in the Princeton shopping Center. There is plenty of parking and free. I wasn't that impressed and thought of this place as just another pizza parlor. We walked in at 9pm and they close at 10:00, but all the chairs were on the tables and we had no place to eat and they certainly didn't make any effort to allow us to eat there. Not even asking if we wanted to stay or go we received our order to go, and we wound up eating in the car . The food was mediocre, lots of the pies, for slices, seemed to have been sitting out for a while. If you're looking for a BIG slice of pizza then stop on here, but if your looking for a good pie, pass this place up.

    "Light cheese" pizza
    Annie K.

    Asked for light cheese and was told by "the pizza man" that if I wanted less than this that I should have asked for "very very little cheese". Quite rude, bad service, bad pizza. I've been coming every so often for many years but this is the last time I'll be eating here. Super disappointed and won't be coming back. Lots of pizza in this town and at the very least it's good to know that this ain't the spot.

    Yummy and delicious pizza, the options are next to endless.  Great staff and great area

Normally we stay away from pasta restaurants unless there's something unique to it. However, Pastiamo hit a home run immediately. From Chef Francesca being ever present in the restaurant - from serving to seating - to the homemade focaccia you receive as a starter, it was an impeccable dining experience. Then you add the nice plates and simple, yet warm decor. You just can't go wrong. We split the forza Italia as an appetizer to get more of a focaccia kick. We loved the homemade bread. The three cheeses were a nice and complimentary touch. Also, dousing this with some freshly squeezed orange juice didn't hurt. For the main course, we split a pesto gnocchi and a tagliatelle alla Norma. The pasta was truly homemade. Felt super fresh. The sauces were great and not too oily or salty. It was so good that we decided to bring some home to my parents. We will be back again!

Yet, I can confidently say that none of those works can even slightly compare to the chicken parmigiana I had from this establishment. From the moment you step foot into this small, quaint Italian restaurant, you are fully immersed in Italian culture. After being shown to our table, a jovial waiter immediately greeted us with plenty of different water options and spoke of extravagant specials, describing them so convincingly that I almost ordered them all. But after a quick glimpse at the menu, I knew exactly what I wanted. One of my favorite dishes in the entire world is a good, classic chicken parm though I'll admit, I'm very picky about this popular dish. As the chicken parm arrived at the table, I instantly knew this was no ordinary pizza-joint parm. This was a masterpiece. When my knife pierced the chicken, a beautiful crisp echoed throughout the dining room as steam poured out of the perfectly cooked cutlet. And then came the first bite. I immediately began to cry. This was no ordinary bite--this was liberation. My taste buds were freed. After years of searching for the perfect chicken parm, I had finally found it. I am forever indebted to La Mezzaluna and its lovely staff. Not only did they introduce my taste buds to the greatest chicken dish I've ever had, but they also helped create a wonderful night with a lovely date. I will absolutely be returning, and I look forward to the next time I can indulge in their legendary chicken parm.

The interior is nice and the manager very accommodating. The food was fine, but given the number of Italian restaurants in the area, La Mezzaluna did not blow me away. We tried the Eggplant Rollatini and Soup for appetizer. Both were fine. For our entrees, we had the Chicken Al Vino Blanco, Barramundi, and Vegetarian Risotto. All of the entrees were a bit on the bland side. However, the Tiramisu for dessert was delicious. Overall a nice experience. A solid 3.5. However, not as great as some of the other Italian restaurants in Central Jersey.

Collectively, we ordered calamari- bland, arancini-delicious, crispy eggplant-bland and dry. I ordered the crab agnolotti which was just, well.... bland. My mom's salmon seemed to be cooked well, we asked for medium and that's what she got. The tiramisu was good, and I am not generally a fan. The mocktail that ordered-basil gimlet was a nice balance of sweet and sour. Overall, really giving it a 3.5 but based upon comparison to my other 4 star ratings, I had to bring it down a bit.
