Chicken parm was amazing. The mussels appetizer was great!! My wife had the Rigatoni al Forno and loved it. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant is small but was not busy at the time. I would think this place would get very busy. This was a great experience.

We got the shrimp Scampi over linguine and the shrimp Scampi pizza. The pizza is cooked in a wood fire grill. The crust is awesome. Not our first time and will not be our last.

Walked in on a rainy Friday evening. No reservation needed. Four adults with two kids. Friendly and accommodating staff. Fried calamari was crispy and fresh. Sauce had a bit of spicy kick to it which was nice. My veal parm was good, not great. I've had better but have also had much worse. Wife got the meat pizza which was very tasty but the meat a little salty. Linguine was also good, not spectacular, which describes the overall meal experience. Good, not spectacular. Won't be craving it, but wouldn't object if someone suggested it. The food did take quite awhile to come out (20 minutes or so)

This little spot is located right in Dunellen and it's definitely a must try. they only have a few tables, so keep that in mind if you decide to come here, but they do a lot of takeout orders and we have been to the other location located in rahway, which is much bigger but the food is just the same .service was great waitress was very attentive. Our servers name was Irma, super friendly and a pleasure to have serving us . They have a very nice selection of salads, pastas, and some pretty amazing pizza since it was only me and my husband, we decided to go with a Vodka pie and a Burrata salad, which were delicious . The pizza has good consistency and a slight amount char on the crust which makes it even more yummy. The salad very simple but good combination of flavors. I would definitely recommend the spot if you have not tried it.

This was my first time in the Dunellen location, I'm a regular at Rahway. 1. Service: We made reservations for 10 people including 2 young adults one with a wheelchair and one that has to walk very slowly while accompanied. It was easy to get them in and out (though there isn't a ramp) the waiter even helped us and provided 3 long tables for the whole group. 2. Food: As always GREAT- I was not crazy about the meatballs on this location but my family enjoyed them. The Margarita is always my TOP and only choice but my family ordered a few different kinds of pizza and pasta dishes and they are very GENEROUS and tasty. 3. Location: This establishment is def more for take-out. For a Friday night, I want to say that 80% of their business was takeout and delivery orders.

My husband and I just moved to Dunellen and figured we'd get takeout from a local restaurant - this lovely place caught my eye the other day when we passed it because it looked so clean and upscale! The food was ready about 20 min after placing the order and packaged very nicely. We got the arugula pizza, chicken wings, and Caesar salad with chicken. All were excellent! Wings were nice and juicy, pizza crust was perfectly crunchy and chewy, and all ingredients used are very fresh. Can't wait to come here for date night in the future, the interior of the restaurant is cozy and modern. What a great little neighborhood spot!
