- PPPhillyPhoodievipPhiladelphia / New Jersey Suburbs •135 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoReally good modestly onion-centric menu. Food is well prepared and nicely presented. Portions are ample. Service is casual but very attentive. Very good value given the high-quality. (And, being a BYOB really holds down the price.) Small surcharge for credit cards. Indoor dining room is more inviting than the covered patio. Though outdoors in warm weather is likely a good experience. Go. You won't be disappointed.More infoVidalia Restaurant - Lawrenceville, NJPrice: Moderate• Italian• Princeton•4.7

Discover Pennington
Drive about 45 minutes northeast of Philadelphia, and you will find Pennington, the most relaxed borough in New Jersey. Break your fast on a homemade bagel sandwich with a crisp-fried smoked whitefish fillet topped with lettuce and tomato. Lunch on a whole wheat wrap filled with turkey and pancetta, garnished with fresh mozzarella, romaine lettuce, plum tomatoes, and roasted garlic aioli. You're sure to go into a food coma until the smells of dinner beckon you. Take in the invigorating aroma of granny smith apples and candied walnuts nestled in tender gorgonzola baby spinach with a decadent salad drizzled balsamic vinaigrette, but not too much. Finish your day with an entrée of fresh beef, pork, and veal meatballs covered in an unassuming sauce and shaves of parmesan. You'll drive home satisfied and relaxed.
