10. Giuseppe Pizzeria and Restaurant

Ownership has changed several times over the years, and frankly, the quality of the food goes down with each change. Their vodka sauce is weak and the Bolognese sauce seems like the vodka sauce (it's that pinkish color) with a little meat thrown in. It used to be excellent. The garlic knots have also shrunk over the years. But the bread is the same and very good. Last time there, I did have a good meal - the arrabiatta sauce was good - but it's not my go-to restaurant any longer, even though it is a 5-minute walk from my house. And the pizza sauce is too acidic for my taste.

I went here for the first time a few weeks ago for a holiday party, so my review isn't 100% the restaurant experience. But I still got to eat plenty of their food. The bread was OK. The pizza was very good -- including plain, buffalo chicken, and pepperoni. The cheese on it was very delicious and I'd definitely get that again. They also had a few chicken dishes, which were fine, and some kind of a nut tortellini, which was strange but good. But my overall favorite was the penne vodka, which was FABULOUS, the second best I've ever had anywhere. It was creamy and perfect, mixed with the right amount of everything. I ate way too much. They also gave a dessert tray. Everything looked good but I only tried the chocolate (maybe flourless?) cake, which was good and rich.We were in a party room in the back and everyone was very nice. The wait staff was great, the bathrooms are fine, and they kept the water coming. I will definitely be going back to try a regular meal.

Located in a small strip center, you can almost drive right past it. Some of the most authentic Italian food I have ever had. We had the Lasagna - fresh, hot and a huge portion; Potato gnocchi - again fresh, flavorful; Tomato based fish - tons of fish and a very good portion; Sea bass - some of the best any of us have ever tasted. The only thing keeping Luca's getting an excellent was the service - the young men had to be asked for more bread, water and what was for dessert. This will not keep us from coming back to enjoy a real Italian meal.
7. Rita's Italian Ice
Reviewed By Wayne-Librarian
We love Rita's. This one is somewhat hidden beside Dunkin Donuts in the Target plaza. With the Stouts Lane intersection with 522 mostly closed off now, getting in and out are a bit of a challenge. But when you want some of that great custard atop your mango gelato, you can get your fix here.

Bring a sweater it was very cold inside. Bring a bottle a BYOB. Bring an appetite... huge portions of pretty good Italian food. Good bread with dipping oil I add parmesan cheese to enhance it.A big menu with a lot of variety. Soup or salad comes with your entree. Flounder franchise was a tad rich for one person, the cavatelli with broccoli was a hit and linguine with clam sauce was tasty. Would return.

The thin crust pizza recipe may not originate in Italy, but it has been a favorite in Central New Jersey for 50+ years. From Pete's Bar to Cantore's to Vitale's, the recipe has been handed down now to Matt Verney, owner, proprietor and pizza maker at The

I meet a girlfriend for lunch recently. We were a little pressed for time, so ordered from the express menu. The personal pizza and Veggie Boli were quickly served. The server was attentive. Food was tasty. I'll go back.Thank you! We introduced the Quick Lunch a few weeks ago. This is great feedback.

Been to this place alot because it's close to my house. The food is good sometimes, but ok others. Pricey. But it's 5 minutes from house. Tonight Waiter messed up and got the wrong pasta with the order. I sent it back. Then they came out and said I needed to eat the wrong pasta, as if I made the mistake. I protested and they finally made the new pasta but kept making a big deal about it. On top of that its pasta, why would you make a big deal about pasta around a good customer. Anyway the service is horrible and the owner does not know the first thing about customer service. I will not be returning to this resturant, where the customer is always wrong.

Fast and still hot.Really like their margherita pizza, meatballs and sausage. Had the regular eggplant this time, not stuffed was a smallish portion and sliced too thin for me, was not keen. Also, was not too crazy about the pasta with meat sauce. Will return but stick to what we know is good.

Reviewed By CavalierJCS
Through the years and chef changes, this place remains a favorite. The menu is ambitious new Italian, inventively shaped, and well executed. We especially like it on a quiet Sunday evening as we wind down the evening. My only complaint is that even with reservations they rarely seat on time: A wait is all but the norm here, which suggests some management challenges. But the decor is lovely and the bar offerings ample, so there are worse things. Long may they prosper.
