I purchased a "Groupon" for Martini Grill to try the place out. What a great purchase! We enjoyed great service, huge portions and an intimate dining area. Everything (including the whipped cream) was amazingly fresh. This may very well be my new favorite spot in Wood Ridge.

This restaurant is newly opened in the former location of Romanissimo. New owners - not the same owners as the previous restaurant

It was a birthday party, so we just went to enjoy the occasion. They have a large nicely decorated hall and the servers were very good for a catering hall style place. The food was decent Italian comfort food, with decent sized portions. I tried their stuffed eggplant rollantini, stuffed mushrooms, chicken parm and some other foods that were served family style at the tables. There was plenty of food for everyone and it was decent quality. I can't comment on value because we were just guests.Full bar at this restaurant.

Thank you Angelina for the perfect suggestions! Meatballs, good! The mozza plate, great! Italian egg rolls, fantastic!! Oh, and the ceaser salad.Interesting atmosphere/layout. When you walk in you will come to a deli and bar type setup. Continue past that to the dining area. Grab a seat and enjoy a fantastic meal! Apparently the Sangrias are tasty and potent. It seems out of the way and off the beaten path. And it is... but worth it!

I have been to The New Park Tavern three times now. The first was sort of a last minute decision as my regular watering hole had a power failure and the kitchen was closed. The last two tomes because I really like the food and atmosphere. A large round bar with 35-40 bar stools in the center with another 15 or so high top tables in the front area and a large low table seating are in the back room make for a larger place than I am used to. The menu is extensive, I have had the wings, a Calzone and the Genaro steak hoagie and they were all exceptionally good. The one concern on food was the buffalo chicken tenders, mushy with a ton of vinegar (READ CHEAP HEAT) and a small portion equals an unhappy experience. The next day, the wings were terrific, so fix the chicken tenders issue....Very personable staff, knowledgeable and friendly. Quick to offer suggestions and recommendations based on preferences, very helpful.My first couple of trips, I sat at the high tops and got a bill for food and beverages, when I sat at the bar, I had the bartender send a waitress over for the food order and received two bills. As this place has been around since the 1930's, I would think they could get this worked out...All in all, a very good experience with a few points that could be better, but a good enough experience and value that I keep going back.

I requested a reservation online for a large family meal after an interment at Immaculate Conception Cemetery. Our family was flying in from all over the country. I was very impressed that the owner called me right away and confirmed the reservation after offering his condolences several times. Matthew explained that there would be another larger group plus open tables which was of no concern to us but it was nice that he fully explained the size of the restaurant. The younger adults and children established their own territory at the table leaving the elder statesmen to speak freely. The staff was polite, polished and very attentive without ever being intrusive. Most of the adults ordered seafood and the respective meals were fresh and extremely well prepared. My mom always loved restaurants like this and she would have been very pleased that we were all fortunate enough to find Matthews and share quality time together as a family....thank you Matthew.

Based on TA reviews, went to this restaurant and was not disappointed. Ordered from the pre fix menu which included appetizer, salad, entrée and coffee with dessert. All the apps were tasty as were the entrees. The salad was very sparse but still good. Service was first rate. Pay with cash and the price is $3 less per meal than if paid by credit card.The only drawback is the very limited off street parking. Parking on street is metered. Will return to this outstanding restaurant.

Last night, we had the great pleasure of dining at Il Villaggio. Our waiter seated us at a well appointed table with the ladies on a very comfortable, high-back salon, and greeted us in Italian âbuona sera.â He then proceeded to dazzle us with an act of mental dexterity and charm as he described the many special appetizers, salads, and entrees of the night in detail with options for variations to each. The stuffed figs with gorgonzola and prosciutto were delicious. My wifeâs swordfish oregano was delightful and I had the finest, generous piece of Chilean sea-bass that I have enjoyed it many years. The presentation was outstanding, the layers of flavors were balanced and well conceived but the service was so classic, professional, and understated that it was the most memorable part of the evening. Our wait staff appeared whenever we âthoughtâ we might want something. If you want a delicious meal and royal treatment, Iâll Villaggio is well worth the trip. Iâve been to Europe this summer and had some excellent dining experiences but, if you want a world-class dinner closer to home, this is the place to choose. Thomas, it makes our day to hear that you loved your experience from start to finish and thought the service was top-notch. We always want our guests to leave with a meal they enjoyed and memories that last a lifetime, and it sounds like that was exactly what happened here. Thank you for dining with us, and please come back to see us again soon.Buona sera, Ralph, Owner

I met some friends for a casual dinner. Paisaon's is a typical Italian restaurant with your basic pastas, veal, chicken, etc.... The quality of the food is good, but not fine. According to my friends, the sauces were heavy. Calamari and Burrata were good as appetizers, and overall its ok if you go without a lot of expectations. They did not have a lot of options for me, since I am Gluten free. I had a simple grilled fish which was blah. Service was excellent and they were really trying to make us feel at home and make sure we were having a good time.I hope they improve the quality of the food because it's a nice restaurant with a good location.

Stopped by on a Sunday night. They were close to our hotel and highly rated on here. The ambiance is nice, but the music can be a little loud. The pizza was good and the crust was very good. Solid choice close to Metlife stadium!!
