De Lucia's Pizzeria

Reviewed By Philip M

The staff when we went were all quite young and very attentive and hard working. It was one of the best pizza eating experiences ever.Real brick oven pizza is a little bit different that the usual. The flavor was excellent and the red pepper topping was the best.Highly recommended. Hint: The outside of the building was very unassuming and the inside decal is basic, but do not let that stop you!

Central Pizzeria

Reviewed By lorkay

Central Pizza is located right in the middle of Somerville, NJ. It is an informal restaurant, with pizza in front and a restaurant in back. The food is very good. The Bolognese, Chicken, Veal, and Shrimp Parmesan, and Ham and Cheese Calzone were excellent. Salads were typical, but the balsamic dressing was very good. There are no complaints about the food, but continue reading, if you are interested in other parts of the visit. In sharp contrast to our previous visit, the place was packed. The antique cars are in Somerville every Friday night during the summer, and this was the last Friday before Labor Day. Parking was almost impossible. People were parking blocks away, but this is a wonderful event for Somerville businesses. There is an adjacent, tablecloth restaurant, to it's left, Venetian Grill (See review, Feb. 28, 2012). I had called to make a reservation, and they did have a table set for 12 in the Grille side of the restaurant, but it took 40 minutes to get our waters. When our whole party was actually there (after trolling to find parking), I eventually told a waitress that our party was ready to order. We arrived at 6:45, and left at 9:15, most of that time was spent waiting. Since there were so many of us, we were talking, but other people, in much smaller parties, waited just as long. Though the service was extremely slow, the staff is very friendly and accommodating, when they do get to your table. As the restaurant began to empty, the service improved. After putting in our orders, and finally getting our salads, the entrees came a little faster than the salads. The rating is for the food, but an overall rating would have been, maybe, a three, because they need to hire many more hands on summer Friday nights. Also, the women's restroom was totally out of toilet paper, and women (and children) were using paper towels, not pleasant, to say the least. But after I told a waitress, they went in there, almost immediately, and took care of it. Unavoidable bathroom problems should not happen, especially with a restaurant full of people. We will definitely go back for the food, but probably not on a summer Friday night.

For typical Italian very overrated. Lasagne was flavorless so was Braciole. Very large portions but so what. I really don't understand why this place is rated so high in what I understand to be an Italian neighborhood. Live and learn.

Lovely byob to have a delicious meal for a decent price! The restaurant is tight and loud but if you don’t mind that the food is top notch. Be sure to get a reservation because the place fills up quick.

Reviewed By sprinkles1087

Everything has changed. We were seated right away, no problem there. The service was excellent, however, the food is not what it use to be. Did not enjoy it at all, which is surprising for this place. Will not return even though it is not expensive, too many other Italian restaurants in the area to go to enjoy the food. This is a shame.

We had dinner and drinks at the bar. The bartenders, Erica and Karmen, were extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the food and drinks. The service was fantastic - we didn't feel rushed and thoroughly enjoyed our time. We highly recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, food, and service.

Da Filippo's

Reviewed By Philip C

It had been over 35 years since we had visited our hometown. So, ironically, this iconic Somerville restaurant was "new" to us. Thanks to TA, we quickly decided this was the place for us (it didn't hurt that my namesake is Fillipo, after my grandfather).. Little did we know it was BYOB but fate was on our side as we happened to have a bottle of Valpolicella in the car. As is our typical fare, we shared a 4 course meal of bruschetta, arugula salad, risotto (the half-portions were huge!), and a perfectly prepared yellow perch. Service was outstanding and well paced, of course. We met all the GC's (who wished us a good evening) and thoroughly enjoyed an authentic evening in Italy. Molto Bene!!
