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

Mmmmmmm mmm!! This place is our family's favorite place for desserts and lunch. The food is absolutely delicious, fresh and consistently perfect. They recently expanded their sandwich menu and added some real knock-out subs. Dang. The bread is amazing and the linzer cookies have their own yummy flair. Amazing. read more

We came here for lunch today, ravenous, in the middle of the move to our new house. Which, by the way, is right up the street, so we were test-driving this place to be our new Italian deli! It passed. I got the #1 Classic Italian sandwich on a baguette - salami, ham, provolone, oil and vinegar. Love the free add-ons available to any sandwich: onions, pesto, balsamic and hot peppers. I added onions and hot peppers and was so glad I did. Hardy got a cheesesteak with provolone and red peppers also on a baguette. We both remarked how much the freshness and deliciousness of the bread really took the sandwiches up a few pegs. Great baguette. The soda selection is unique and fun (I love Gus and MASH sodas) and we tried the NYC dill pickle flavored chips. Yum. We both finished our meals without leaving a crumb. Decided to get a few cookies on the way out -- they could have been a tiny bit fresher. That was our only (mini) gripe. Service is excellent and this really seems to be a neighborhood friendly place, where they get to know their customers and are super friendly and responsive.

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.

Had dinner here over the weekend. Pasta was overcooked and sauce was like water. Go to DiMaios in Berkeley Heights.

Went last week for the first time with my daughter & the sandwiches were amazing. Went back today with my other daughter & the sandwiches were horrible! There was only 1 piece of meat on each one! They're expensive which I knew but I'm not paying for lettuce & tomato with 1 piece of meat. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

Have been in and out of here several times over the past few years and have never taken the time to review, i hope that they know by my coming back, and my husband being in there much more often that me - that we really do love this place. I am married to a man who judges a joint by the tablecloth and the bread. Since this is basically a bakery, we take the tablecloth off the checklist - the bread they bake is what keeps us coming back. This is also the bread we serve on our dinner table, at dinner parties, and for Christmas Day dinner when the boys are all home and sit down and eat pounds of prosciutto di parma, slicing sticks of Columbus Felino and hot sopresseta, a chuck of parmesan, gruyere, and creamy swiss Raclette and Saint Andre triple cream cheese - yes these are the things my sons want when the come in from LA and Detroit - they want the good stuff and here is where we come for the good bread. Have to mention that they do a mean breakfast sandwich of pepper and eggs, and we have had dinner and not been disappointed and today we enjoyed a half sheet cake that we had made for a party. They knocked it out of the park, it's a local's place, nothing fancy, just delicious. read more

I stopped in for the first time to get a pastry with a co-worker. I get back to work and am quite excited to try the mini lemon meringue pie. I absolutely love lemon meringue pie, without question it is my favorite dessert. So I was really sad that this mini pie was a massive disappointment. The meringue was gummy and dense but tasted ok, the crust was good as well. HOWEVER, the lemon filling was downright disgusting. It didn't taste anything like lemon, at all. Almost had a mustard taste somehow if that makes sense. Upon tasting the filling it went straight into the trash. My coworker called me later in the day and said her dessert was inedible as well, before I even told her I tossed mine! read more

This place has great food kind workers and two amazing owners who care for the restaurant and are polit to staff and costumers

The place is nice and there is a large selection of Italian baked goods. The sandwiches are very tasty. Hopefully today was a one-off occurrence but the woman behind the counter did not give me the best customer service. While I heard her being nice to everyone else and calling many of them by name, when I asked for an update on my order, she replied with, "What is it (sarcastically)? I guess I can check on it" as she shook her head from left to right in a "no" motion, huffing and puffing as she walked away. How dare I bother her at work?! She said very loudly to me, "It's not ready yet!" Coming from the food industry myself, the sandwich was running a little long. I wasn't rude when asking. When it was done, she made sure to SCREAM the order from across the room to make sure I and everyone else knew it was ready. The sandwich was incredible. She on the other hand was not. The 3 stars are certainly not for the food, the food gets 5. The 3 stars are for her. It's 3 rather than 1 since I did witness her being nice to other people so clearly she's capable. read more

We had Chicken parm and eggplant parm which was extremely disappointing. Eggplant parm was tasteless and hadzip. and the chicken parm was pretty bland. read more

Ambiance. The place was packed so good ambiance although I thought the lighting was a little bright. Food. The positive side is that the Salmon and Osso Bucco were great which is most important. The Caesar salad was basically lettuce, croutons, and cheese with Caesar dressing on the side. Having to pour the dressing and mix it myself is never as good as having it all mixed in the back and served altogether so this was not enjoyable. Service. It was so so as it took over 20 mins for someone to even come over to share specials and greet us. While I didn't mind having the extra time with my wife to talk, the food took a long time but that is probably a function of how many people were there. I have to say that Carmela and the main waiter came over later and they were very pleasant. We will definitely give this place another shot. read more

We placed an order for pizza dough in order to make some Easter recipes. The dough was absolutely awful, it was unworkable, gooey, and sticky no matter how much flour we added. We called the establishment and they said to put it in the freezer which made it worse. They charged $40 for 5 dough balls. In a pinch, we called Ciro's down the road. The dough was beautiful and they only charged $16 for 5 doughs. This place is overpriced and overrated. read more

I had a Centamore sandwich (grilled chicken, cheddar cheese, bacon, etc) and it was awesome on a chill fall day. Great gourmet quality sandwiches from a nice family business. So good you can't wait to go back. Also very good baked goods and there's also Trattoria Biagio for sit down dinners of Italian cuisine. read more

Lunch Review. Stop by for a quick italian sandwich - ordered the whole Godfather ...yum!!!! The bread is heavenly! Like OMG perfect amount of crustiness and mix of meat and veggies! I was expecting more cheese but honestly the sandwich was so good by itself. It had salami and proscuitto -heaven! Will return for more sandwiches - hoping to try the numero 1 next time and people mentioned there was balsamic and stuff somewhere so I'll try to eat here next time instead! read more

Bakery Review: I really wanted to love this place, unfortunately the baked goods were inedible. We ordered a cupcake and hazelnut torte, both were stale and flavorless. My 3 year old didn't even eat the cupcake, if that's any indication of just how bad it was. On a separate note, I ordered coffee and all the "self serve" containers were empty. Bad experience all around! read more

Carmella is far from friendly or accommodating. Food so so and worst system to pick up bread during holidays. It was not a pleasant experience, especially when her daughter shouting at people. Not our type of place. read more

It was my first time and went there to order a sandwich. I was basically ignored for 10 minutes because there was a young man in the shop who they all knew and a patron who knew him as well. Everyone was gushing over this young man and they went on and on, talking to this person, ignoring the other patrons. I finally ordered my sandwich and found the bread to be incredibly hard. Almost like tree bark. Very disappointing. I didn't know where to order, where to stand, and it seemed very disorganized. Haven't been back since. read more

My wife and I ate at Biagio's last night. I thought I was hungry for spaghetti and meatballs but then I spotted chicken Parmesan on the menu. My wife had ordered her usual healthy and safe grilled fish with vegetables and potatoes while I dove into the chicken Parm. In what turned out to be a comedy act my wife after tasting my chicken Parm dinner ignored her meal and help me eat mine. I think the test of a good Italian restaurant is something like the chicken Parmesan dinner. The only word I could use for the meal was perfect. The food the service the room all wonderful. read more

This is will be our 4th Saturday at Biagios in Stirling. We are bringing friends tonight to sample the delicious food and great ambience. Carmela is a terrific hostess and the waitstaff does a very good job in taking orders and delivering them in a timely manner. My husband has Celiac and they go out of their way to accommodate him. The food is fresh, and much of the items on menu are from D'artagnan and the fish is wild caught. The quality is evident in the taste! I love that it is a BYO and the glassware is beautiful! Pretty restaurant with linen cloths and napkins and pretty chandeliers to make this a charming place. This is now a favorite and we will be coming here often. read more

Rude, Rude, Rude!! Generally conversation goes well until we want to change meat in our antipasto salad and Carmela "up charged us". After discussion, she got rude and would not respond to "thank you". I told Biagio, himself, who responded, "the Holidays" can bring out the rude"! I will never go back again. Respect before a mediocre meal. Always check restaurant restrooms. Jerome Stephans read more

My only experience with Biagio's is ordering a birthday cake for my two kids party. Carmela was great, she immediately understood how I wanted the cake to look. The cake came out beautiful and elegant, everyone was impressed with it. It was a vanilla cake with chocolate and raspberry ganache filling...yummy! I'd definitely order from them again! read more

Great little Italian deli bakery! Have heard about this place a few times recently where people rave about their take out family meals and bread. We were in the area on a Sunday looking for to-go lunch when I remembered those reviews. We stopped in and found every one to be very friendly in this cute little bakery. Right off we impressed by the bakery case and the bread looked amazing!! There were so many sandwich choices to pick from! We got the Biagio and the Godmother. Our lunch was awesome!! The Biagio was a chicken cutlet with broccoli rab and fresh mozzarella. It was perfect as was the other prosciutto, mozzarella and roasted pepper sandwich. The highlight was the bread and how fresh it was. We will definitely be back very soon! read more

I hate leaving bad reviews but it was an overall bad experience that I'd like to share. I feel like if I put it out there then maybe the owner can take this feedback and improve. My wife and I arrived at their newly added and renovated Trattoria around 7:30pm and it was a very busy Friday night. We were seated in a decent amount of time and ordered an appetizer and entree each. Appetizers took a little bit to come out but didn't think anything of it. While waiting for the apps, they gave us a spoonful tasting of some butternut squash soup. It was ok. Appetizers came out and they were also just ok. I ordered the agrodolce and my wife, the kale Caesar salad. I liked the agrodolce except the lentils were a little hard/undercooked and definitely had some sand in there. They could have been rinsed better before cooking. My wife's kale Caesar salad was very bland. Kale on a plate, barely dressed with a sprinkle of parm cheese and some bread crumbs. Very underwhelming. Then we waited almost 35 minutes after our apps for our entrees to come out. I ordered the salmon and my wife, the pasta carbonara. After waiting what seemed like an eternity and 3 rounds of "your entrees will be right out" (you only get to say that once. After once, it's insulting) my salmon came out raw. My wife ate her pasta and said it was ok. After waiting for so long, I couldn't order another entree and wait even longer for them to cook it, so I told them that the salmon was raw and to take it off the check. The waiter and manager came over to offer dessert, but dessert doesn't cover an inedible entree. I was leaving the restaurant hungry. The manager or i think owner passively asked me what she could do to make things right and felt that approach was kinda crappy as they served me food that I couldn't eat after waiting forever and now I have to figure out the solution to the problem. That's for the manager to figure out and offer. She should have comped the whole bill and maybe I wouldn't have wrote this review. The restaurant business is brutal and you get one chance to give people a good experience or they will never come back or worse they will tell others of their bad experience. Our bill was around $55 dollars and they probably lost thousands of lifetime value of me, my circle and everyone who will read this review by not figuring out how to make things right. I hope they read this and can handle future terrible experiences better than the passive and conservative approach they took. You have to fight for customers! It happens, I've worked in restaurants, but what you do after decides the outcome. read more

Best Pignoli cookies I have ever had!

Biagio's did a fantastic job with my birthday cake! It was so beautiful. The NY skyline details on the side was so precise, it must have taken so long to do! It tasted great as well!

I highly recommend you order a cake from here! read more

The food was good but the service here is not very welcoming or helpful. My parents and I stopped in to try the place since everyone seemed to like the food in town but nobody payed attention to us when we walked in. The high school girls running the front completely ignored my father while they talked to their friends instead. The girl behind the counter was not very enthusiastic about serving my dad and only took quicker action when I walked up to order pastries ( probably because I'm closer to her age and looked mad). They also did not refill the coffee machines. Just disappointed overall and will not be returning. read more

-Restaurant review, I have never been a bakery customer- The food was good but no different from any of a hundred other trendy Italian restaurants. I miss the charm of the old place. No more pizza and oh and by the way the prices have gone up dramatically; $11 for 4 meatballs. read more

While the decorating was very nice.... THE ORDER WAS COMPLETELY WRONG!!! I flew up from Orlando to have my baby shower in New Jersey because it's where all my family & friends are and my mom insisted on this place because "Italian bakeries have the best cakes" even though I wanted something else that I know would have been perfect. When my mom went to pick up the cake the day of the shower, it was decorated in RED when we specifically asked for pink ombré. She had them redo it because it was not what we wanted. The result came out pretty decent though. Cut to a few hours later, my husband and I cut the cake and I try the icing. We specifically asked for butter cream icing because we hate whipped icing and what did I taste?! Whipped icing!!!! Being pregnant and looking forward to having some cake, I was very angry. From what my mom told me while ordering and visiting the place, everyone she dealt with was very rude and cold. For spending a couple hundred bucks on a cake, we were EXTREMELY unhappy. read more
