Website said live music on the day we went but when we got their host said they don't do that anymore. The biggest issue was the house next door (15 feet from doors of kitchen) had very big rats running around. Like a family of rats that didn't seem fazed by the daylight or people. I'm not saying the place has them but after seeing that it was hard to eat outside. Would like to give another shot because the food itself was good.

The food was tasty and the portion sizes were good. I tried the nightmare on bourbon and the Dracula's kiss cocktail. The bartender was definitely heavy handed lol. You definitely get bang for your buck with those cocktails. The hostess and waitor were really nice. My niece was very hyper and asking for a lot of things & my waitor was so patient and understanding with her. They have their own parking lot and you can do street parking as well.

Been here a few times now…read more In this area there is a plentitude of good Italian restaurants but this has to be among the best. As the name implies, its small. On a Saturday can be a bit tight, but it doesn't take away from the experience. The food is really outstanding. The spaghetti and meatballs is maybe the best around here. The chicken piccata is the best. Their apps - shrimp with beans, crab cakes all really good. The front of house is really very good too even when busy. And though I'm not a desert person, they have a coffee Gelato that is unbelievable. With all the choices for great Italian in this area this ranks in the top 3. Seriously that good.

I've gone there by myself many times, and will continue to do so. It's simply an amazing restaurant. Don't believe me? Go in and just have the Rock Shrimp. That alone will reel you in. Everyone I've taken here adores the restaurant, the food, the staff. It's simply one of the greatest local restaurants you'll be happy to have finally discovered.

My friends were visiting out of state and had this place bookmarked to try. We drove 50 minutes to…read moreget there and I think it was worth the drive. They were packed when we got there but we didn't have to wait long to get a seat. What we ordered: - Buffalo Wings - Mozzarella Sticks - French Fries - Regular Pizza - Regular Pizza with Pepperoni - White Clam Pizza - Old School Everything Pizza without Anchovies The food came out piping hot and everything we got was good. The wings were crispy and had a lot of sauce. We all enjoyed the pizzas even though bar style isn't our favorite. The only thing to note is my friend ordered a Blue Moon beer and never got it even though she even reminded them again. By the time the meal ended she was too full for a beer anyways. Honestly we don't even know if we got charged for it because we didn't examine the receipt before we paid by cash. Besides that everything went well and we would recommend this place.

I visited the Star Tavern on a Friday afternoon for a late lunch and enjoyed the food and service…read more My wife and I shared a garlic bread with mozzarella and a pizza (half 3 cheese/half white spinach) and even though the pizza is very thin it was more than enough food for us so keep that in mind if you go with multiple people and each one decides to order a pizza. Note that depending on the toppings you can order 2 different ones (half/half) but it's not available for all toppings. Pizza was tasty, I'd rate it a 8.5/10, I just wish it had a little more cheese. Garlic bread was also pretty good. I had 2 Coors light draft ($5.50 each) and my wife had a ginger ale ($3.00 and refill was free). They should offer some happy hour specials during weekdays. Service was good and waitresses were friendly. There are some tables and booths in addition to bar stools. There's a small parking lot so during peak hours you might need to find street parking.

Spicy and cool at the same time. This is a serious contender for one of the best (and most creative) pizzas I've had in NJ. As always, the staff is great and the food is always ready when you arrive to pick it up. I do miss the sweet and spicy Asian chicken pinwheels though. Those were great. (hint hint).

The only issue I have is trying to decide what I'm in the mood for; no easy task given the over the top choices. Food is also excellent with large portions and more than fair prices. Their stuffed rigatoni with vodka sauce is the stuff of local legend and is more than enough to feed you a couple of times, if not more. Delivery is also prompt and courteous. Turano's is THE choice for pizza in my area. Go there, enjoy and tell Dave I sent you. Kudos.
