It pains me to write this because Iâve enjoyed some good meals there over the past several years.Was there in November and then again in December. The dining room was cold in December and the eggplant parm a little burnt on the bottom. However, raviolis were delicious as always.Returned again last Sunday. Only the bar area was open (maybe 6 booths). The place has always been a little run down, but it was downright dirty. Was told the dining room was not open cause they didnât have heat and were having trouble getting parts. This has apparently been going on for at least 6 weeks, as it was the same when I was there back in the beginning of November. Bar was cold too. There was a garbage can full of dirty recycling behind me directly next to the coat hook-gross. The gentlemen behind the bar was answering the phone and telling people they were open. There were only 6 booths in the bar, and he should have mentioned that. Booths were full and people were walking out. Again, my dinner was burnt on the bottom.They need to address the heat or close it till itâs fixed. Clean the place-crooked pictures, garbage cans, and dust do not make for a pleasant experience.

My new favorite Italian anywhere. Staying at Newark to catch a flight, and went there with my teenage daughter (college selection trip)- we both can't stop talking about the fantastic food and service. Easy to get to from the hotels around EWR, only 3-4 miles away. We'll be stopping every time we make a trip!
7. Breeney's Pizza & Chicken
Reviewed By pamt464
After reviewing available delivery-menus at the Hampton Inn, we chose Adam's Pizza, and we were not disappointed. From their broad menu, we chose the Supreme Pizza. The medium pizza was loaded with delicious ingredients. The delivery was timely and free (for orders over $12), and the pizza was still warm. Hard not to like the service and product. We would order from Adam's again if we were staying in the area.

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time recently and loved it. The entire staff was welcoming and attentive, the food delicious and the drinks wonderful. Portions were ample and flavorful. 2 minor dings- the accompanying side salad was a bit lackluster and the bread was pretty average which surprised me as the food quality is otherwise outstanding. We would definitely return in the future. It was a very enjoyable night out.

La Campagnola is a gem of a restaurant, with some of the best Italian food to be found in New Jersey. Tucked away in Kenilworth's industrial zone, la Campagnola's outward appearance does no justice to the wonderful menu inside. The owner and staff are friendly and very professional -- the waiters recite the day's menu from memory and can make informed recommendations. While the specials (ex, mussels in brandy cream sauce) are mouthwatering, the standard menu (ex, linguine alla vongole) is solid and well done. All the parmagiana dishes are excellent, so is the chicken La Campagnola. The filet mignon, when available, is perfectly done. The menu tilts toward seafood (scallops on risotto, various shrimp dishes, salmon, etc) but really everything is done quite well. The chef/owner worked for many years at a famous Italian restaurant in Jersey City and he knows the palate of his customers. La Campagnola is a hidden treasure.

We've been going to Boccone South for years. It's right in the middle of downtown South Orange a quaint not-so-small village in North Jersey. Their pastas and meat dishes are excellent. The staff is friendly and entertaining. We love that it's 5 minutes from our house.

My kids beg for their pizza all the time. So it's definitely popular wirh kids. I think it's good, though I have one or two other favorites that I enjoy if I am not letting thr kids pick. The staff is super friendly on the phone and when you walk in. My son loves ro stop in for a slice on his way home. The feel is more old school than modern. We order and take out from Comet once or twice a month. I just wish they had better parking.

You can order the tasty traditional Italian entrees such as Marsala, Parm and standard pastas but they have an extended menu where there are many entrees not normally seen locally. Shrimp with Broccoli Rabe, Seafood Canollini, Short Ribs with Risotto, Italian Stuffed Sole. To be honest we have never had the pizza, we are spoiled by another local institution. For a lovely meal come to Michelino's

Everything here is so fresh and tasty - never disappoints! Only complaint is I wish the place took reservations or expanded. Many times we want to go but don't because we just don't have the time or patience to wait (and wait, and wait.....)
