    I have been to this place at least t5 or 6 times before and have always enjoyed the ambience and food. But this time there was a part of the dining area closed off and there were tables to the left of it. None of us liked the look since it was right across from us. I feel I should have been told about this. Also the food was not hot, barely warm!! It was a bday celebration and was kinda disappointing this time!

    Always a great experience. Comfortable chairs, perfect lighting and amazing acoustics, even when every table is full (and they were), and excellent service. Food was outstanding, we had the seafood stuffed mushrooms and an incredible seafood fra diavolo special. Fine dining with a friendly and casual air in all the right ways. A long-standing gem in Central Jersey’s culinary crown.

    Our dinner was delicious. Antonio and staff are so professional and pleasant. We had such a wonderful time. My husband and I ended up ordering out from Cafe Piazza the next night because we wanted pasta which we didn’t have when we were there! Thank you Antonio!
