"Loved it! Almost if not just as good as L&B pizza in Brooklyn and that's a huge compliment. Only piece of advice I'd give them is just a little less salty! Some sections where they sprinkled the grated cheese which we loved just made it tooo salty. Otherwise big thumbs up!!!"

"Best Italian restaurant in Middletown and surrounding towns, including Red Bank, and the best Italian restaurant I've been to in New Jersey! The menu includes a lot more than the traditional pasta and pizza (both of which are amazing) to include a large selection of meat and seafood plus vegetarian and vegan options. They also have the option of customizing a lot of their dishes with different sauces, plus, its BYOB! The only downsides are that the service can be a little slow when they are busy if you are used to really fast service and it can get a little loud during peak times, but this isn't a place for a quick bite, its an authentic Italian restaurant similar to the best places in the NYC area. Prices are fair in my opinion, especially during this inflation crisis, but again this is an authentic and high quality Italian restaurant, not an upscale pizzaria, and you get what you pay for. There is no official dress code but most people dress up a bit (I usually wear nice jeans and a polo type shirt, but you wouldn't be out of place in a suit and tie, or nice dress for the ladies either). Me and my family have been here almost every week it seems, and the food is so good that the hardest part of the dining experience is deciding what you want!"
"Heck yeah il colosseo and it's not even close. The Amatriciana is fabulous, I love it. But I want to call out the Calzone, which has redefined calzones for me. I did not know a calzone could be like this and it's a revelation. Plus it reheats amazingly well for next day enjoyment."

"ldon't anticipate a lunchtime meal to be one worthy of an especially glowing review. However ,today was a noteable exception. Ninos Bistro Expres was a first timer for me.lwas looking fo a god deal and was planning to order a late lunch (early dinner for me and a sandwich for tomorrow. Ordering both meals together takes the pain out of service fees and tip. Formerly, l used to expect to get another partial to full meal out of a dinner plate, but with rising food costs, that has become a rarity. Today was the exception! When my dasher knocked on my door and handed me the carefully wrapped package, l almost dropped it, because it was so heavy. The Chicken presents Marcangelo came in a large container. lt not only had three LARGE pieces of chicken over homemade scrumptious linguine with a delicious vodka sauce, but everything was hot, very nicely flavored and the chicken was so moist l could hardly believe it and it was definitely enough for two people(three meals for me). Terrific meal!"
"Sophia’s Steak Sandwich is very good, 10 inches or so. Broccoli Rabe was the smallest portion I have ever got and for $20 was a waste. Homemade Mozzarella Sticks were just ok, not worth the $17. Based on small portions and cost, I would say this is a good sandwich shop. Thats all I would advise ordering."
