I rarely will say a spot is 10/10, this is 11/10. Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. The tomato sauce is so fresh you taste it immediately. I really can’t stress how great the food is at this place. Our waiter Giovanni was from Italy and gave some great suggestions and brought us some tiramisu on the house for dessert. It was homemade and unbelievable. He really made it an experience for us to enjoy. Grazie Mille Giovanni e Sorrentina!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review, we will let Giovanni know your kind words he will be thrilled, grazie George

I went with my family to get a pizza to go. The place was very crowded, but everyone was nice to us, and the pizza was ready quickly. We ate it at the place where we were staying, and it was delicious — by far the best I have ever eaten.

The food is great. Simple dishes should taste great. They achieved it.<br><br>I had to ask a couple times for items requested, but everyone was polite and smiled. That, to me, is everything.<br><br>I recommend the pizza. Its huge, please share. : )

Called ahead and ordered a Margarita pie for takeout. Walked in, said my name, got my pizza and walked out super easy process. Waited maybe about 20 mins after the phone call. Went around lunch time on the weekend. My pie was hot and fresh and crispy, it was great.

My husband and I have been dining at this restaurant a lot in the last 6 months. And let me tell you, we will continue supporting this restaurant for years to come. The food is absolutely delicious. Anything you order you will be satisfy with! Other than the food being out of this world, the entire staff is wonderful. The service is impeccable and everyone treats us like family. Thank you to Giovanni, Mario, and Jesus for always treating us with such warmth! We absolutely love this restaurant !!!

Pretty good! I had a good time with my family while we were here. Servers were very ready to help. We had pizza and dessert; pizza had good sauce, but bread wasn't my favorite. We had canole and catalan for dessert, both are very sweet, some of us liked it and some didn't. If you got a sweet tooth, you'll like it.

We stopped here with our two kids.<br>The restaurant is located at the corner of 80th in front of the park. It is difficult to find parking and have to get lucky. I recommend parking in the inner streets to avoid the meters but you have to get lucky and find one.<br><br>We had a Caesar salad, calamari, table bread, half margarita pizza, half sorentina pizza, rigatoni’s bolognese, seafood spicy spaghetti.<br><br>Everything was delicious, we really enjoyed the margarita pizza. It’s been the best one we have tried. Cappuccino was made fresh and you can tell the quality.

Went here for a date night with my wife! It has a very nice Italian ambience. Food was ok...we had the mussels and the tri colore pizza! I like the freshness of the mussels and the ricotta on the pizza, but it could have used some spice for an extra kick! The service was excellent 👌🏻

This place has a great atmosphere and serves delicious Italian food! We ordered a large Napoletana pizza with added mushrooms for two, and also tried the Carpaccio di Polipo for the first time—absolutely loved it!<br><br>Here’s a useful tip: the combination of anchovies and garlic can make dishes overly salty and hard to enjoy, but a squeeze of lemon does wonders to balance the flavors.<br><br>Hope you enjoy your visit as much as we did. Buon appetito! 🇮🇹🍕

Had lunch with a friend recently. The service was very good. Super friendly and fast. The atmosphere was nice, a little crowded and loud, but nicely decorated and clean. I was excited with the menu choices. We had grilled baby octopus and the chicken, avocado salad. The octopus was displayed beautifully over large grilled zucchini, but it was very chewy and fishy. We didn't finish it. The salad was good, fresh, but I wasn't overwhelmed by it. The tomatoes weren't great and it was oily. Fresh bread was also provided which was absolutely delicious. I did see a lot of specialty pizzas at other tables that looked really good. I would like to try one of those if I go back.

Absolutely blown away by this place! It's hands down the best Italian food I've had in New Jersey, and I can't believe I only just found it.<br><br>Everything was incredible - the mussels, baby octopus, penne boscaiola, and tiramisu were all fantastic, but the b-line pizza is a must-try!<br><br>Even with all that deliciousness, the bill came out to under $100. For this quality, it's an absolute steal!

When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted. The restaurant was very busy and the service was good. My clients wanted this for lunch, and I ordered the margarita pizza for myself. The food was ready and I paid and left. When I dug in, the pizza was really tasty, and it was more than enough! I had a good experience.

Good place to eat and good service. Calamari had a right amount of batter and cooked well, not dry or chewy. Grilled octopus was done well. Mussels were tasty and not over cooked. Seafood dish was ok, not worth the price. Churasco meat was done well and tasty.
