Small, family-owned bakery with a restaurant on one side. Have been coming to the bakery for years, but cannot speak for the restaurant. I'm surprised by the reviews talking about rude customer service, as I've experienced and seen nothing but courteous, friendly service. Their pastries are tasty, and their breads are the best around. Lots of varieties, and they often have freshly-baked ciabatta rolls. Great breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches as well. read more

Biagio's - New York Style Cheesecake - Bakeries Near Me - Stirling, New Jersey

Our friends got a few treats from Biagio's for a gathering and they were truly spectacular. The tiramisu and cheesecakes were so rich and decadent! They packaged the treats so well too, with liners between each one so the flavors didn't blend together in transit! Perfect for when you have a dinner party to go to but don't want to go empty handed read more

The food is incredibly good. I had calamari for an appetizer and it was light and fresh. For dinner I had the special of Lobster Ravioli in a saffron creme sauce that was so good. Their bread is made on-site and incredible. Dessert was homemade carrot cake that was the best I ever had (and trust me I have had many a carrot cake) and the Pignoli cookies are addicting as was the meatballs that was another appetizer at our table It's BYOB which I prefer. I'll be back read more

Awesome. Typically I am a hard person to please. Food, ambience, and service were top notch. I will be coming back. Hidden gem

Ordered salads for lunch and was blown away by the quality and presentation. Had the Adriatic salad and the Harvest salad. Both were delicious and showed they weren't just thrown together. Highly recommend for lunch. Based on my lunch experience, I'm looking forward to going for dinner. read more

Why have we never come here? I've been to Biagio's for lunch plenty of times over the years but never came in for supper. Shame on me! Food was DELICIOUS. It's NOT pictured because we were such greedy gophers and gobbled it down before it occurred to me to take photos. We split a burrata salad then hubby had Shrimp Fra Diavolo and I had Linguine al Volgone. Excellent food and good quality as well as quantity. Hard to come by these days. We had a super nice server named Sebastián and he was ever so attentive. They are a BYOB and play Frank (Sinatra) in the background which just adds to the ambiance. Simple and elegant. We will be back. You should come too! read more

I live in the Lehigh Valley in PA and visited Biagio's Trattoria in Stirling, NJ last weekend after an event. I was with my 2 older sisters and brother in-law when we stopped in to grab a loaf of bread BEFORE going back to PA. You see, there are VERY FEW truly authentic Italian bakeries in our neck of the woods. As soon as we walked in, we were blown away by the display case, the amazing bread selection, ma Donna! All the treats my sisters and I grew up with were lined up like little soldiers. In the excitement of finding homemade sfogliatella, I must have dropped my wallet or left it behind on the counter in Biagio's. I did not realize until the following day (Superbowl Sunday...go BIRDS). In a panic and after tearing through the house, I called Biagio's and left a voice message and I emailed. Sunday afternoon, Biagio HIMSELF called to tell me my wallet was there and I can pick it up when it's convenient. I picked up the wallet, not a cent missing. Regazzi, this is INTEGRITY, KINDNESS and HONOR at its best. The pignoli cookies have nuts on the bottom, ON THE BOTTOM. The bread: SCARPETTA! The tri-colore cookies, Mother of God...If you are in the area, you're a lucky stiff! BIagio, grazie per aver trovato il mio portafoglio e per la tua chiamata Domenica. Torneremo! read more

Restaurant Review : this place has great potential, it just needs some fine tuning. Appetizers, Octopus with hummus, light on the octopus but very tasty. Eggplant with roasted peppers and mozzarella cheese. Needs to be served hot, maybe eliminate the mozzarella and go with a grated cheese instead. Dinners: short rib with pappardella pasta, pretty good. Pork osso buco- excellent - Veal Parm Veal Chop - Do not order, this should be a breaded, pounded veal chop. Instead it's a sort of poached/ grilled fillet chop with sauce and cheese on top. Service is good. Room is nice. Overall it's a notch above pizzeria quality with restaurant prices. read more

What a find! Hidden in Stirling is a bakery that serves UNUSUALLY out of this world sandwiches. I had the Napolitano and my girlfriend had the Biagio's Choice. Both were exceptional - almost addictive. I'm not sure if it's the soft and crusty bread or the sweet balsamic or the pillowy mozzarella. We also had the fagioli soup. Pow - what flavor. Can't wait to be back. The owner, Biagio, was super-friendly and made these suggestions. Much appreciated and will be back soon. read more

This is my second 1 star review...my first was on Google. Consider that it was so terrible I am taking the time to write 2 reviews. I bought some treats, mocha cake and brownie, for Valentine's Day. GROSS AND DRY!!! The worst desserts I have ever had. My husband was trying to be polite because I was the one that purchased them but I could tell he didn't like them at all. The person behind the counter was talking on his phone the entire time I was there including taking my order and checking out. Very rude. I will NEVER go back there again. read more

I mean this is the best place in town! Ray throws down in that kitchen! EVERYTHING on the menu is delicious. My favorite items are the mussels, anything francese, the pizza, any special, and all soups! It's BYOB too and well worth it! It's a staple spot in our date night rotation. read more

Biagio's is terrible and my only hope is that they close and be replaced with a quality emporium. Bread that tastes like it was made 6 months ago. Cookies that taste stale and dry. Yuck! read more

Gave it another shot. And much much better this time around. Better bread. Better sandwich overall read more

When invited here as a group of people I wondered if I had the address correct. A sit down dinner at a Bakery & Deli? Well, like some pizza places have there is a good sized "restaurant" side to the establishment as well though there was not much hint of it in the title or the previous Yelp reviews. If you really want to get confused, go to their website and to see the restaurant menu you need to click on the "Trattoria Biagio" to get there which makes sense but as far as I can tell there is no separate listing in Yelp for it nor is there a separate entrance for it from the street. Anyway, the appetizers were pretty average but I really did end up enjoying the Carne Brasata (Braised beef short rib over pappardelle pasta in a brown sauce) entree. Which kind of summed up the experience for the table. Overall it is a hit and miss experience with some really outstanding items and others that are average to meh. Also, it is BYOB which isn't a problem but if you haven't been here before you probably don't even know there is place to BYOB to. read more

This bakery is a hidden gem in Stirling NJ The owner, Biagio, is from Naples and he makes the most delicious bread, pastries, cookies and cheese danishes anywhere in my area. There is an old school feel to his bakery shop, and people stop in to chat as they pick up bread, focaccia and other Italian delicacies I recommend Biagio's if you are anywhere near Warren, Watchung, Gillette and Berkeley Heights especially! read more

We came here about 45 minutes before they closed because we didn't realize they closed at 1:30 on Sundays. I got an Italian sandwich and the bread was really tough. It actually scraped the roof of my mouth and that bothered me for a few days. The meat and cheese were fresh and the sandwich itself was huge, but the bread was too tough to chew. read more

Great little bakery in quaint downtown Stirling. Great service. Great pastries, bread, and pasta

My previous visits were good experiences and I might have given them a 4. My last and most recent visit really disappointed. Service was terrible and food came out wrong or uncooked. They were understaffed in the dining room with one hostess and one waiter while they were pretty full on Saturday night. One of the entrees was delivered to table as wrong dish and the right one had to be cooked making others uncomfortable to start eating while one had no food. Two of dishes were undercooked and had to be returned to kitchen. Now the person without an entree had company. Some finished before the others had food. Waiter tried to fix with dessert and coffee on the house but by then the experience was what it was. Too bad, as I really like their baked stuff and the people who got food really liked their choices. Uncertain if I will be back. read more

Amazing Gluten Free/Celliac options and the owner was super nice! Highly recommend! Thank you Biagio!

My bf and I were on a trip and wanted a quick dinner, we ended up coming here. I originally thought this place was just a deli, but actually this is a good bakery. I ordered tuna sandwich, the bread tasted amazing. Sweets looked adorable. But I wish the sandwich could hv more infused flavors instead of simply being put together. read more

Love this place. Everything is amazing. All the dishes on the restaurant side are delicious. They do a phenomenal job with sandwich platters and everything in the bakery is delicious as well. The pignoli cookies are a must!! read more

I had visited with my family for dinner a few months ago and had high expectations due to the nice ambiance. I ordered the cacio e pepe which is one of my favorite dishes and what I received couldn't have been further from the dish. It was virtually unrecognizable - so much so that I thought I received a different table's order. I was served spaghetti with oil and tons of parsley all over it. There was no cheese or pepper to be seen in the dish. Save yourself the money and get the Trader Joe's frozen cacio e pepe which blows theirs out of the water. Additionally, the waitress which I assume was the owner's wife was very overbearing and rude and she should be removed from the position. She was defensive and did not offer any gesture to make the scenario right. read more

Little hidden gem in a little hidden town. Small bakery and restaurant that is definitely overlooked. Service was excellent--both waitress and owner were friendly and attentive. Food was 9/10, with the quality and portions a great value in light of the price. Traditional Italian food, without being over the top. Bread was amazing, as were the appetizers. Went for the restaurant, and would definitely come back for that, but absolutely coming back to try the desserts at the bakery. Overall, in an area surrounded by Italian restaurants, this place is absolutely worth trying. read more

Their wood fired pizza just doesn't cut it. Dough isn't great, sauce is forgettable, toppings aren't fresh, no evoo, etc. Just meh. There's simply not one pizzeria in Basking Ridge worth raving about--better to make your own, which is what I do. read more

This is an update to my review from 7/29/22: BEWARE OF OVERCHARGING!!!!!! I ordered an Italian with onions sub on a seeded baguette and aside from the fact that they confirmed my order and that they made it on a regular baguette instead of on a seeded baguette and that when I called to let them know when I got home that they messed up the order and that Blonde Wife hung up on me, I just noticed as I was filing my claim with Amex to dispute the charge that Blonde Wife had also OVERCHARGED me as well!!!!! The online menu price for that sandwich is $11.23, yet Ms. Blonde Wife somehow charged me $14.55!!! I did add onions, but if your telling me that onions somehow added $3.32 to the $11.23 (30%) that's just unimaginable!!! So, after reading my previous review as well as this one, if you are still inclined to patronize this restaurant then bring a calculator with you when you pay so you can check Blonde's math, because it's more than obvious what she is doing, especially based on other reviews claiming that they were OVERCHARGED as well!!! I'm going to reach out to the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU to report this as well - this is pure unadulterated FRAUD!!! read more

Had a great experience in May ordering a gluten free birthday cake for my Godson.The cake was vanilla with chocolate pudding filling and a Chantilly cream No one knew that the cake was gluten free delicious was everyone's commentsI am now ordering another cake gluten free for my birthday. read more

A few of my friends have told me how great this place is. But honestly I just found it hard to believe there could ever be a fantastic authentic Italian place anywhere in this area. There are plenty of places to eat but nothing real deal Italian. Everything seems to disappoint. Well I stopped in today and was absolutely blown away!!! Sheeps milk cheese, fantastic cookies, real cannoli... The owners are very personable. This place is very clean We also ordered two sandwiches the bologna and the The Godfather, the bread is off the charts. read more

Came in with my wife for some of their pastries. We were completely ignored by the rude counter help who was just chatting with customers whose turn was over for 5 minutes. The owner and his wife were standing there and said nothing. We left this little hillbilly enclave for civilization. read more

We have been frequenting Biagio's for years for their pastries and bread, which are nothing short of amazing. We have also visited their restaurant a few times for dinner and have always been satisfied. This past weekend I decided to order a cake from them for my husbands birthday. Unfortunately, the cake was beyond disappointing. The cake looked great, but the quality was awful. The cake was dry and stale, it tasted like it had been baked several days before, and possibly even frozen. Their prices are certainly not cheap, and I don't mind paying for quality goods, but I will never order a cake from them again. read more

I'll make it short and sweet. When we want an excellent sandwich, we come here. The bread is incredible. My favorite is the Murphy. Grilled chicken, hot peppers, onions. The sausage, onions and potatoes is a close second. My wife likes fried eggplant and Soppressata. So good. Biaggio's has a large selection of bakery treats too. Good napolean, choco mousse cake, opera cake. All delicious. Great sandwiches and dessert. How could you go wrong? read more

We came here for a late dinner on Friday and were seated right away, when we walked by earlier there was a much larger crowd in the restaurant and the tables were almost all full. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the menu had a lot to choose from. I opted for the homemade gnocchi and had high expectations since Biagio's is a family run bakery; I would not recommend the gnocchi or order it again. Maybe I would opt for a chicken dish next time. I'll say that the pignoli cookie that I had for dessert was the best pignoli cookie that I've ever had - don't tell my grandma. I would come back here during lunch for a sandwich or some more bakery items. read more

The internet is a scary place. So I bit into multiple chunks of glass (about size of my thumb nail) while eating a Romeo & Juliette (chicken, mozzarella, red pepper). I have no idea if I swallowed any but definutely heard lots of crunching. After showing the staff, he immediately offered to make me a new one, but I was too traumatic to take it. (Should have negotiated for some of their pignogli cookies though, because they are really really good). Of course, after lunch, I google "what happens if you accidentally eat glass shards" and of course everything you read, from Reddit to WedMD, is along the lines of YOU GONNA DIE. And of course that send me into a spiraling panic attack that lasts for hours, imagining my insides getting torn apart by the sharp edges, gushing blood everywhere internally and unknowingly marching towards a painful death. I call the local urgent care, the helpline on my insurance card, my fiances mom (retired nurse)... only the latter actually calming me down and saying probabaly nothing to worry about. She was right. Its been 30 hours and I'm still kicking so I think I survived that one. But still, I would prefer hair or bugs or even giant screws over glass in my food. So please be more careful Biagios. TLDR; food ok. bakery good. internet bad. read more
