Ninuzzo Trattoria

"Stopped here after a day at Great Adventure. Cozy little Italian restaurant in a small strip mall down from Six Flags. The food was really good! Fresh made and tasty. The service was not up to par. Waiter was friendly but very inattentive. The place wasn’t busy either. Heard they have a sister restaurant one town over that is top notch. May try them next time."

"I have to thank the great people here. We had a reservation for 12 and half the party didn't show. I was thoroughly embarrassed. But the staff said not a problem with a smile. The service was top notch and all of the meals were delicious. They even put a candle in my father's dessert and sang for his 80th. I cant say enough great things about this restaurant top to bottom 5 STARS!!!!!"

"We went here after a family funeral at the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery. The worker we spoke to at the cemetery said this was a close restaurant to the cemetery. We went around lunchtime and it was obvious that they took pages out of the menu and left us with the most expensive options on the menu. We had vegetarians in our party of 19 people. We didn’t want the pre fix menu because we have some picky eaters in our group. They left out the pages of the menu sleeves that had salads, pizza, sandwiches, and most pasta dishes. They aggressively recommended appetizers. The fried calamari was disgusting and rubbery. A vegan in our party asked if she could just get a salad, and the waiter said salads come with the entrees, and she didn’t want anything else on the menu. The food tasted horrible and I am not a picky eater. I asked for chicken parm and it was the worst I’ve ever had in a restaurant. We all came home with the runs and had stomach aches the whole night. The waiter kept reminding us that we should pay cash otherwise there is a 3.5% surcharge. We looked at the website when we made the reservation, and the menu we got in the restaurant was not the menu we saw online. It was as just the pages on it with the meat and fish dishes and a page with their specials. We wish we got the menu we saw online. I think this is a terrible restaurant and would never go back, and hope this review helps someone avoid the bad experience we had on what was a difficult day for our family."

"First time at this place and I didn't really enjoy much. I tried the arancini, and the chicken Gabrielle. The arancini (2 balls) came out barely warm, though tasted just ok. The chicken was a bit overcooked and coated in barely melted cheese with not great potatoes and almost uncooked asparagus. I shared some muscles with my fiance and they were very good. The service started out nice and friendly and then slowly got worse and less friendly. Not sure why. Wouldn't go back again"

"Quietly the best Italian food I’ve had in New Jersey. This unpretentious trattoria is serving up killer pasta, pizza and desserts with friendly and attentive service. Outdoor dining available too. Go there."
