Had a late lunch with my husband, as an appetizer we ordered the coal fired chicken wings. They came with sautéed onions and pita bread. They were absolutely delicious, meaty, and fresh with just the right amount of coal fired taste. We both ordered individual cheese pies that were crispy and tasty. Will eat there again.

Was there last night to dinner. Good crowd. Friendly staff. Good bread brought to table. Linguine with white clam sauce, veal parm, salmon dish. All good portions and tasty. Very reasonable too. Bring your own bottle of wine saves a few bucks too. They give you wine glasses. Good steady place for a family dinner.

This is the first time I was at Ciros. The service, food and ambiance was very good. A hidden gem on Buckelew Ave. They have several rooms (bar area, dining, party room). Reasonably priced and nice size portions. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers, salads and dinners. Service (owner's daughter) was very good.They did a nice job with the birthday dessert. I would definately return again and recommend it.

Wait staff can't get to tables because there are too many tables. Noise level highest of any restaurant ever. Can't hear people at same table talk to each other.Just another Southern Italian restaurant red sauce over everything. Nothing to write home about except prices. Highly priced for mediocre food

Our third time at Il Nido, and there are new delicious additions on the menu. From AUTUMN SQUASH SALAD to RIBOLLITA 'DA DELFINA (the Famous Tuscan 'Bread' Soup) and from mouthwatering GRILLED LAMB RIBS to single-thread pasta MUGNAIA and deliciously lean WILD BOAR CHOPS, everything was very good, featuring prime ingredients of utmost quality. Next time we would try to visit on a weekday, for the weekends are very popular, the place is filled to the brim and gets somewhat hectic; a few glitches took place in both service and the food preparation.

Many times at this restaurant. Always a place you can have a good meal. Food is a good and the service is a ten. From a pizza to a full meal Always dependable. Eggplant parmigiana and baked Ravioli a must to try. Prices are reasonable. You will be back to this one.

Four of us went to Cafe Luna last Saturday. We had a 6:30 reservation. When we got there, many of the tables were not occupied. Apparently, more people like to eat later. The restaurant is very nicely decorated inside. We started with 2 manhattans and 2 martinis. Next we shared 2 salads which was enough for four people. Two of us ordered glasses of wine for our entrees. Entrees included veal marsala for me, a shrimp dish for my wife and a huge veal chop which was more than enough for the other couple to share. They could not finish and took home the remainder. We ended with coffee but no dessert because we had no room left for eating. Highly recommend and not unreasonably expensive,

Nonna's offers both family style and ala carte dining options.

I took my employees out for a celebrative dinner for a special event. We had a private room with two wait staff assigned exclusively to our room. The food was presented family style with replenaments once the plate was depleted. We had: two types of salad; two types of pasta; two types pf appetizers; and two types of main entrees; an assortment of small items for dessert and coffee. Along with the main dinner unlimited beer and sangria. Each item was presented with expertise, the quality of the food was excellent, the service extremely attentive. If the regular portion of this restaurant is the same, this is the place to go!

Reservations a must since this restaurantâs reputation is pulling in crowds. Easy access from Rt 9S. Greeted and seated quickly. Great apps incl stuffed rice balls and grilled octopus (first time trying it....delicious). BYOB helped everyone enjoy their favorite wine without running up a monster bar bill. Entres included veal chop special, grilled salmon and a meat stew. Servings were generous, but so were the prices. All in, still a great restaurant worth visiting.

I called Ponte Vecchio hoping to make reservations for a small but momentous family celebration that was somewhat last minute. Julie helped me to navigate through the process, arranging for us to bring our champagne to be chilled, ordering a cake for the occasion and making florist suggestions. Upon arrival, we were placed at a table that was in a great location for our 10 member group that included 3 children. The wait staff were all helpful and attentive. The chef, Anthony DiRocco, created amazing appetizers and dinner entrees that were suitable to all present. There were even gluten free selections on the menu, which I was grateful for.The strawberry shortcake that I had arranged for at Julieâs suggestion, was a hit with adults and children.I would highly recommend choosing Ponte Vecchio. I suggest making a reservation as the dining room became very busy for a Wednesday night. And it is Bring your Own- so purchase a nice bottle or red (or white) or maybe champagne, and enjoy.
