    Excellent service and incredible meal! The Mediterranean menu on Thursday night is delicious! The burrata and arancini were wonderful appetizers and the veal scaloppini and gnocchi was fabulously rich! Finished off with tiramisu and ricotta cheesecake, my wife and I left very full and satisfied. The managers were very accommodating and everyone made sure we felt at home. Highly recommend the experience!

    Laurea restaurant at the Princeton Hyatt is a favorite venue for social events or a business dinner meeting. It has a pleasant ambiance with comfortable, well-spaced seating areas, a great selection of food/drinks on the menu and a very attentive, accommodating service team. Our questions about certain entrees and food allergies were answered by the chef before we placed our orders. My chopped salad with salmon was fresh and tasty. I asked, and enjoyed mixed berries for dessert, even though it wasn't on the menu. I'll return for another dinner meeting soon!
