We started off with the Caesar salad, which was very good and we also had the chicken Parm in vodka sauce, which was delicious and we share a bottle of Rioja, which was pretty good and they gave us a dessert on the house which was tiramisu it was good. The ambience is very cozy and warm which I like. I will definitely be coming back.

We ordered: Garden St Pizza: This was alright - packed with veggies, good. Needed a bit more spice or flavor. Penne Vodka: very very good - the sauce was delicious. Tiramisu: this was very good -- we were really trying to eat every lil crumb of this one. Pistachio tartufo: this was all our first times trying this and this wasn't what we imagined. The pistachio and cherry flavor together wasn't something we enjoyed. The service - impeccable. They were so busy and yet every server was giving utmost attention to everything.

We decided to keep it simple and shared two large pies--and wow, we were seriously impressed. First off, the size of the pizzas is no joke. You definitely get your money's worth, and then some. But what really blew us away was the taste--perfectly crisp crust, rich sauce, and that classic, authentic flavor that's hard to beat. The service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The ambiance was just as impressive: comfortable, relaxed, and perfect for an easy, enjoyable night out. Honestly, it might just be the best pizza you can get in Jersey. We were all kind of shocked at how good it was... to the point where we barely left any crumbs behind to take home. Simple, delicious, and absolutely worth it. Can't wait to go back.

If I lived here, this is the spot I'd mostly dine at knowing my arteries aren't going to harden. Cash only! Puck the points. You don't need em. You need this

There's only 8 tables? It's pretty small inside and cozy. The staff was so nice, they really make you feel welcomed. They start you with bruschetta and warm bread. Yum. We also tried the special fried calamari & arugula salad, rigatoni carbonara ( basically Alfredo) and the veal parm. They split everything for us, which was really nice. We also tried famous ice box cake - so good! Would recommend if you've never been! Don't forget cash!

We were super impressed with Otto Strada. We arrived early on a Friday and were happy there was no wait. Reservations are not accepted. We chose outside seating and we got a lovely seat in the shade under the covered area. We were greeted by Jeremy who offered us water. He was friendly and we had a nice conversation. He was new with the restaurant, but knew the menu well. It's nice to see a young man working and have pride in his job. Our waiter Chris arrived soon after. He was a great waiter. He was also super friendly and was able to help us navigate the menu and helped me with Gluten free options. We opted for the pear salad. I got a limoncello chicken and my husband got a pork chop. All the food was super delicious. It's a challenge for me to get a good meal being gf and dairy free now and this was perfection. Chris was able to put things on the side and recommended the perfect dishes! We had dessert also which was a GF banana cake with Gelato. It was delish. My only complaint was I thought the desserts were small and a little pricey. If priced a little less, we would have ordered 2 or 3. All in all it was a perfect experience and evening, and we will be back soon! Highly recommend!

The food was great although it felt expensive. BEWARE they charge automatically include gratuity for parties of 4 or more. This may have been stated on the menu, but our waiter never told us gratuity was included. it was not stated on the itemized receipt or final one you sign, instead it is hand written on the back of a different check which is very easy to miss considering the final check they give you has gratuity suggestions on it for 20, 22, an 25%! disappointing that a family owned place with good food was not more transparent about gratuity which resulted in us (and based on what I have heard, multiple people) double tipping a waiter that was not attentive. Update: after reading some other reviews on here I would have to agree that the vibe is definitely profit over patrons.

Always great, never misses. Quick as hell too. Lot's of choice, great quick breakfast spot.read more

I walked 30 mins from the train station hoping this chicken salad was worth it..... and yupppp can…read moreconfirm. It sure was This chicken salad is everything you want in a quick, satisfying bite. The texture is spot-on...perfectly tender chicken folded into a creamy, dreamy dressing that's rich without being heavy. Every bite is packed with flavor: a little tang, a hint of savory seasoning, and just the right amount of crunch to keep it interesting. It's the kind of chicken salad that feels comforting but still bright enough to stand alone on a plate or piled high on toast, crackers, or greens. Simple, flavorful, and incredibly well-balanced...honestly, it's one of those dishes you keep going back for spoonful after spoonful. If you love a creamy, flavorful chicken salad, this one checks every box.
