Food was excellent. Service left a little bit to be desired. We went on a late Sunday evening and were the only guests in the restaurant. Even on such a slow day, we hardly saw the server who I guess mostly sat in the kitchen. Historically both food and service have been good and hopefully service will match the food next time

The food is very good; I’d say a solid four stars (I’m not one to assign five stars lightly). I do stop by a couple of times each season to try the food (I’m not local, but this is pretty much the best place that could bring me to Cranbury). I always find something unique that I can’t find closer to Princeton. In nice weather, sitting on the porch sipping my wine and enjoying the food is a real delight. So far, it’s always been worth the drive.

I have been to Molte Bene. before and enjoyed our food. I don't know if this was an off night, but the three of us who went to dinner were disappointed in our main meals. The appetizer and desserts were good.
