    a half eaten sandwich
    Richie G.

    DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!!! McDonald's would be a better alternative. I just picked up two subs. They are over $30. One was a meatball sub with Costco meatballs in it COSTCO MEATBALLS!!!. It was disgusting and dry and then I ordered a chicken Parm sub. The chicken is old and dry, and they threw some sauce on it. Neither one of these subs are edible. It should've been a red flag to me that I picked it up at 1 o'clock and the place was completely empty at lunchtime. I don't know how long this place has been a business but obviously they fallen on hard times and figure they can cut corners and serve people garbage. I'm lucky I took apart the chicken before I got nauseous. It didn't smell right or taste right. I called the owner. All he said was I'm sorry about the experience. and the meatballs are from our wholesaler. Can you believe it? They can't make a meatball!!--well, that's certainly standing up for your establishment no offer of replacement ( not that I would have taken it )and trying to keep the customer happy-- so it is my duty to tell people, please do not go to this place if you value your health at all

    Vinny's Pizza is a neighborhood joint that offers decent pizza with both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is also BYOB, so feel free to bring some drinks to enjoy with your food. I ordered a plain slice and a Sicilian. The plain had a crispy base with a sauce that tastes wonderful. The slice also features a pleasant, fluffy crust. The Sicilian could benefit from more sauce, but overall has a nice, crunchy crisp to the base and crust, with a fluffy interior.

    I stopped into Vinny's for the first time this past weekend since I was in the area. I went with a simple order of a plain slice for dining in & a full size chicken parmigiana sandwich to go. I was told by the guy at the counter to have a seat in the dining area & they'd let me know when the food was ready. I liked the fashionable, yet simple interior (4/5) with nice tablecloth on the tables & great color motif on the walls. I patiently waited for over 20 minutes when no food came out...eventually, a different guy from the kitchen approached me to ask if I had ordered something, mentioning that the system had been losing orders lately. I wasn't in a rush, so I didn't mind as I chalked it up as a simple mistake/oversight, but still not a very good first impression. The pizza slice (3/5) was decent...the base was crisp how I like it and the crust tasty, but the cheese itself was lacking a little something in flavor. The chicken parmigiana (2.5/5) was ok, with some chewy parts of the chicken which I wound up spitting out, with bread, sauce, and chicken being merely average taste-wise. The sandwich was supposed to be a full sandwich & to go, but I only got a half sandwich for dine in, which most likely tied in with whatever issue they had earlier when I had placed the order. The overall service (3/5) was super friendly thanks to the guy who came to check up on me to ask if I had ordered something, despite the order getting lost. In the end, what was supposed to be a quick lunch turned out to be much longer than anticipated, with food being mediocre and unmemorable for a Central NJ pizza joint.

    Really good pizza- just a bit pricey. Would be there a lot more if it was a bit cheaper. But overall, good food even heated up the next day!!

    Delicious tuna salad sub :)

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.

Luca's Ristorante is a hidden gem that proves you should never judge a restaurant by its parking lot. Not long after we were seated, we were greeted by Luca -- a Luca and not the Luca. Still he was warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about his restaurant, taking the time to walk us through the menu and checking in throughout the meal without ever hovering. Luca's has a partial liquor license, offering a modest wine selection but is otherwise being BYOB. As we were told with a smile, they're much more interested in what's ON your plate than what's IN your glass. We started with two excellent appetizers. The arancini, already a family favorite, were crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and disappeared from the table faster than anyone was willing to admit. The Polpette, Luca's signature meatballs with pine nuts and raisins, certainly earned the praise they've received from NJ.com as some of the best in the state. Even if raisins in meatballs sound unusual, trust the process. The restaurant proudly calls itself "A Taste of Ischia," the beautiful volcanic island in the Bay of Naples, and the seafood absolutely lives up to that promise. My squid ink pasta with octopus (the Polypus) was outstanding, with perfectly tender octopus and beautifully balanced flavors. The scallops were buttery, sweet, and cooked to perfection, while the Ischia -- loaded with mussels, clams, and calamari -- was every seafood lover's dream. The rest of the menu proved just as impressive. The Pappardelle, featuring burrata and a rich Bolognese sauce, was a huge hit, while the Romolo, a comforting combination of chicken, pasta, bacon, and sauce, was another winner that had no leftovers to speak of. If you somehow still have room after dinner, Luca's offers a nice assortment of gelato. But do yourself one favor: don't leave without ordering a cappuccino. Rich, foamy, and expertly made, it's the perfect finale to a memorable meal. If you find yourself in Somerset, just a few turns off Routes 287 or 1, make the stop. You'll be greeted by a wonderful staff, treated to outstanding food, and very likely leave wondering how a restaurant this good has been hiding in a strip mall all along.

With many…read morespectacular reviews both online and through those I've spoken to in person, I had such high hopes that I was going to find my new go-to pizza spot, but I don't think I will ever return after this encounter. We dined in on a snowy evening when there were no other patrons in the restaurant. Very few stopped in to grab to-go orders, but we were the only group to actually sit and eat dinner here. Upon reaching the counter in search of a menu, our first negative encounter occurred. We asked an employee if we could see a menu, and he dismissed us quite quickly in a rude manner, telling us to look on the counter as if we were blind. No menus there, nothing was there actually, leaving us standing confused. Once he realized his mistake, menus were thrown onto the counter without another word spoken. During this time a family did walk into the restaurant to pick up a to-go orders, which was not yet prepared, leaving them to stand and wait. When we decided on our order and approached the counter once again, we were told we had to wait 5 minutes for them to take our order. Understandable if the restaurant was busy and the front of house staff were in the middle of doing something, but no - the person who told us to wait 5 minutes was just standing there, doing nothing. This employee was not actively making the other guest's order (as there was a back kitchen responsible for that), leaving us even more confused as to why we had to stand there waiting, face to face with the employee, who was just standing and staring at us. After a few minutes of standing in confusion, the other employee who we encountered prior began arguing with this one, in front of the guests waiting for food, leaving us in a very awkward position. Only after the employee was scolded by his coworker was our order officially taken down. Once we received our food we sat at the few tables Ninos had to enjoy our meal. Throughout our dinner the two workers remained arguing with each other, outwardly discussing staffing issues and leaving us to feel unwelcome. Upon leaving, we packed up our leftovers and returned to the counter in search of a bag to place our food in. When asking the staff for a bag, we were thrown a stack of paper bags and told to take what we needed. Since the bag looked to be on the smaller end, we asked if this bag would fit the aluminum tray of food that we had leftover, to which the staff replied "I don't know, go figure it out for yourself." The food was decent, the pizza was crispy but nothing to write home about. During the time we dined in the options for pizza were a bit limited (understandably). The penne vodka was just okay, we felt as if it was pretty bland and heavy on the cream. The best thing consumed here was the Philly cheesesteak - messy and cheesy in the best way, but also lacking flavor and could have used a sharper cheese or even some salt. The bread was fresh and soft, which would be great for other hero sandwiches they serve. With the food being mediocre and the service horrific, we definitely did not feel welcome when dining in here. Throwing items at customers seems to be a common activity here, along with dismissive remarks and constant arguing between the staff making you feel as if you've intruded on personal matters. If the service were better my group would have considered returning, but this experience has left a bad taste in our mouths overall.

The interior seating area is cozy, with modern and welcoming furnishings. As this was my first time here, we wanted to try out a variety of items. Meals start off with complimentary bread (5/5) made from pizza dough which was served warm and tasted delicious. We ordered garlic knots (4.5/5) which had a good texture and the right amount of garlic taste without being too overpowering. We ordered an eggplant rollatini (5/5), large cheese pizza (4.25/5), penne vodka (4.25/5), and chicken parm (4.5/5). The pizza had just the perfect balance with great tasting cheese, crust, and sauce, and while it probably won't win any awards, it was well above the average given the fierce competition among the central New Jersey pizzerias. Usually there's at least one weak point when trying a variety of food at a pizzeria/Italian restaurant, but everything we tried was enjoyable and our service (5/5) was excellent, I don't mind rounding my overall rating to a 5.
