The food was good. The vibe is cool and the service is slow. They were sweet enough to split a bowl between me & my friend. We got the Vidalia Loaf and mozarella as starters.

We were looking for great Italian restaurants in our area (Pennington), and after doing a little bit of research I came across this place. Went for lunch today and I have to say the food lived up to what was written about in the reviews. We were greeted when we stepped in, the waiter clearly explained what they had for specials. He made it so clear that we didn’t even bother to look at the menu. Both my wife and I ordered the soup they had for the special, and then I went for the pasta dish and my wife went for fish (see the picture). Looks like they are much more creative for dinner and we look forward to going back again sometime in the near future. Request to the owner: if you are reading this review please let me know the name of the fish you used for the dish today. We would like to buy and cook.

If you ask me other Italian restaurants should really be taking lessons from these folks. Everything from the atmosphere which is just so welcoming to their unbelievable dishes and for what you get very reasonable prices. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available which is very nice depending on the season. We love that this place is sort of off the beaten path on a side road because it ties into the whole theme of this tiny eatery that packs a big punch in the tummy. Great business and great contribution to the community. Highly recommend!

Came here with my bff. I guess my expectations were too high. First the good part: the service was excellent, and the place is very quaint and comfortable. Now the bad: sadly the food wasn’t good. At least mine wasn’t. I had the insalata di mela/salad, which was okay. Then the shrimp Francese. The batter was soggy and greasy and the food came out just warm, it hot. The dessert, we shared, and it left a lot to be desired as well.

From beginning to end I really enjoyed everything I ordered, had the fried calamari and the ahi tuna with octopus salad as appetizers. Both tasted fresh and well prepared with plenty of flavor. Also had the Vidalia Onion soup which was excellent with the sweet onions. Our entrées were the short ribs over risotto and the veal saltibocco with spinach. I love a restaurant where the food tastes homemade and reminds me of how my Italian parents cook. Everything was delicious and well made. The service was good and the food came out in a timely fashion on a Saturday night. Indoor and outdoor seating were filled up but our 6pm reservation was ready upon arrival. Finally the end of my meal was completed with maybe the best creme Brulee pie I ever had. Also the owner came over to greet us and noticed we forgot to bring wine to this BYOB establishment so he shared some red wine with us. We will certainly be back to this excellent restaurant.

Messed up my own order by ordering something I couldn’t eat (I have celiac) also didn’t mention that I have an eating restriction on the app (was driving). The dish was like $45 so I know it’s expensive to have to remake. The owner had the kitchen remake my entree, for something that was my own fault, in a way I could eat it without batting an eye. Fantastic food, Fantastic service. Could not recommend enough!

About a dozen of us went for dinner at Vidalia’s. (We made a reservation.) The accommodations suited us well. The service provided was exceptional. Our meals from start to finish were extraordinary. We will return. (Well, actually we did. I ordered an antipasto for Christmas Eve which was delizioso!)

This restaurant is located in the beautiful and quaint downtown section of Lawrenceville New Jersey off of Main St near the prestigious Lawrenceville Preparatory School. We were here today for a Holiday party. They have a nice completely covered outdoor dining area in addition to the indoor dining room. The food was fresh and delicious and the service was great. I would definitely return and I recommend it.

This charming restaurant in Princeton was a quaint experience. The inside of the restaurant is a bit smaller but the outside is beautiful! At every table there is a picture perfect background. There is even a little chair outside that is great to take a seat in and take pictures while you wait for your food to arrive. Besides the place being eye-catching, the food is good. I personally would have liked more flavor to my pasta dish but all of the other elements were there.

I was invited to this restaurant (spur v the moment) for lunch. Although this place would’ve never been on my “places to eat” list, I’m happy for the experience! It’s a nice quaint place, it’s small but comfortable, very intimate. The service was great, a few forgetful moments from the waiter, but it was a large group, not the end v the world. Now the food… welp, maybe it was what I ordered (Rigatoni alla vodka) pink creamy vodka sauce with prosciutto, sounds yummy right? NO. I definitely wasn’t expecting the prosciutto to be cooked, but it was. Honestly, it didn’t even look or taste like any prosciutto I’ve had. It was very thick, in chunks and DRY hard even. The rigatoni definitely needed two more minutes. I get they were going for “al dente” but it’s already a thick pasta so it was basically thick hard glue(y) pasta… At this point, I wish I ordered the Caesar Wrap. However, I cooked my leftovers in butter, low flame for dinner (picked out the hard meat) added a pinch v garlic butter seasoning and it was delicious. The calamari was excellent. I would try this place again but I will personally stay away from the pasta dishes.
