W O W We drove up to a humble building and entered into a welcoming and a very nicely decorated restaurant. I loved all the red "pops" for Valentine's Day! Giovanni seated us and Chris was our server. Both were warm and friendly. We really enjoyed our conversation with Chris and he gave us a few special treats as "first timers." I flipped for the focaccia bread! It reminded me of Lamberti's on Haddonfield-Berlin Road back in the day. This was even better though - I "kinda" had five pieces lol! We started with salads that were super good! I barely like tomatoes but these grape ones were so tasty! Now onto the star ... LOBSTER RAVIOLI in a brandy sauce! This dish was AH-MAZING and one of the night's specials - from the tender pasta and scrumptious lobster, to the incredible sauce and two succulent large shrimp. The chef added some sun dried tomatoes in, per my request - absolutely delicious!!! My Sir was grinning at me! I couldn't stop ooh'ing and ahh'ing at the "symphony " of flavors in my mouth! He had Veal Parmigiana with a side of Vodka Rigatoni, that he loved (it's his go-to dish that he bases restaurants on). I cleaned my plate, and took the remaining brandy sauce home - this gold wasn't going to waste! Chris hooked us up with two bread more bread baskets because he noticed how we were inhaling it- we took the remainder home too! A treat was meeting Peppe and his wife (?) on the way out. What lovely and gracious people! You can tell that they genuinely love what they do, which is why their food is so damned good! We already talked about going back - my eye is on the Calzone!

Patio dining is where it's at!…read more We visited Filomena's Lakeview with another couple on a Wednesday evening. We enjoyed a pre-dinner drink at the bar, and we were so impressed by how friendly the bartenders were. They were engaging and social. They set off our evening on a high note! My Pink Jaguar cocktail was beautiful and caused quite a buzz among the bar patrons! We opted to sit outside, and we are glad we did. The space is open and breezy but fully covered. No need to worry if a passing shower makes its way overhead. Steamed clams in white wine and Truffle fries for the table to start. Yum! All entrees are accompanied by a house salad or Ceasar salad. Our group ordered the Limone Chicken, Chicken Sfiziosa, Steak Frite, and the Eggplant Meatballs/Risotto. Everything came out piping hot and delicious. We loved everything. I know their linguine is house made, but not certain of the other pasta varietals. Cheesecake and Cannoli for dessert, because why not? Really nice experience! Our server was sweet and super-efficient. My only question for Filomena's Lakeview is "Where is the lake?" :)

Traveling in from Ohio for this week's 4th of July and stopped here before visiting family. The…read moreoutside of the restaurant was very large. We arrived around 3:45 PM without reservations and they immediately took us to an open table. Iced Waters were instant. Our server was very pleasant and she took our order. Bread quickly followed with two types served: Italian with sesame seeds and focaccia; however I was puzzled that it was served with a plate of hot peppers and onions in a juice. It seemed off but perhaps it's a Jersey thing. I've been all over in Italy and have never seen this. Olive oil would have been fine along with a splash of balsamic vinegar. Either way I skipped bread condiments. Next came the Fried Tomatoes topped with Lump Crab as an appetizer, but once again I had another head-scratcher, as this dish wasn't typical. First the entire dish lacked seasoning plus salt. Then red tomatoes were used and we all know what happens when you try to fry one. It turns to water after you cut it. The lump crab is what probably made this dish pricey but 3 thinly slices of a red tomato caught me off guard. Now for the final knock out: I ordered the Bone In Pork Chop and impressed that I was asked how Iiked it prepared? I said 145 degrees. She said, you mean well- done. I stated no, that would be in a range of medium. Lo and behold, it was fantastically preparation temperature, but it came topped with the same peppers and onions concoction that came out with the bread. I had no idea that this was a smothered situation. My broccolini was also a mystery. The mashed potatoes were mid. Now on to my daughter's chicken Parmesan: She said that it lacked flavor and had to add salt and pepper and also stated that the sauce was loose and there was too little of it. My wife enjoyed her Salmon. Jersey is cooking differently!!!!! I forgot to add: Underneath of my pork chop I discovered a mysterious piece of corn. I had no corn in my dish??????

Mamma Rosa was a wonderful surprise!…read more We've passed this little restaurant countless times. A friend was raving about how unassuming and how delicious everything was. Well in that case, let's go! There are only 7 tables and it's first come, first served. No reservations so don't bother asking! - Bruschetta - the perfect amount of salt and spice! - Burrata Appetizer - warm, delicious and perfect to split with a party of four - Homemade Meatballs - tender and fantastic. Like your mom makes! - Caesar salad - solid choice - Grilled Lamb Chop - my husband had leftovers from this that he actually ate! - Fettuccini with Sausage - homemade pasta cooked perfectly - Penne Vodka - silky and al dente - Pappardelle Special - truffle, mushrooms, red sauce. So flippin' good! We were too stuffed for dessert, as per! Special shout-out to the staff. They are warm, efficient, and make you feel like they've known you for years. We had the opportunity to meet the chef and that was a huge treat. We couldn't gush any more about how amazing everything was. He was humbled by our enthusiasm! Cash only and BYOB. Any restaurant with a pay phone on the wall is a-okay in my book. Old-school Italian in the house!

There were plenty of tables and room to mingle, having an inside room reserved for us as well. Our 2 servers were very attentive, always asking if anyone needed anything and accommodating even our crazy kids. We had the caesar salad, gorgonzola salad, penne vodka, orichette, chicken parm & veal saltimboca-it was all SO delicious! The shrimp pancetta app, meatballs & chicken cutlets for the kids were also big hits. We had our rehearsal dinner here over ten years ago and in more recent years have had their catering trays on many occasions. We've always said how good the food is! Thank you Bistro Di Marino!!

Was not told (after being recommended by the server) that the lobster gnocchi had an $8 surcharge and the sausage and beef gnocchi were out because of a truck delivery. Pumpkin gnocchi and pumpkin ravioli were very good. So-so on the lobster (heavy sauce, no lobster flavor (tasted like a condensed soup) and the baked gnocchi were just a heavy sauce. Ordered the chicken parm with penned vodka and received it with penne tomorrow. Asked about the penne vodka and they said it had a $6 upcharge, so requested it. Menu said it came with garlic spinach, but when asked where it was, they said it was on the truck. I asked fir a price adjustment as I was looking forward to trying it and they gave me the penned vodka. Chicken parm was dry, a dash of sauce on it,and when I asked for grated cheese, that was on the truck. The salad had a delicious dressing and when asked for fresh pepper (grinder type), I was given a pepper shaker. Big NO! really, you can buy tablesize pepper grinders from McCormick! Asked for to go containers, and lids were on the truck. So was given foil to cover. Was short one, but now they were totally out! Had to ask for bread. And when I asked about dessert, was told the kitchen closed even tho it was 8:15 and they were open till 9pm. Very didappointed. All my food came within 6 minutes Gnocchi and ravioli came together) of each other, so really felt like I was being rushed. I spent over $100 and would not go back for dine in again. Perhaps a salad and pumpkin gnocchi to go would be it.

I love that dinner comes with soup, salad and that delicious garlic bread that's impossible to stop eating. My daughter raved over her minestrone soup. The first visit I had delicious creamy Italian chicken soup. I'd order extra just to take home. Appetizers of crostini topped with burrata and prosciutto were very good. Simple and tasty. Maybe next time I would ask for a drizzle of balsamic over everything. The husband inhaled his meatball sub and complimented the crispy and light rolls. Meatballs got rave reviews as well as the baked pasta. I tried the chicken cutlet with bruschetta and burrata. It was served on top of spinach and a side of pasta. Dessert of a dark chocolate cake was dense and sweet. Portions are huge. Really good service. Enjoyed this experience and felt our money was well spent.

This is the place to go nowadays to get bang for buck. With every meal, you'll get the best ever garlic bread (ask for more, they'll happily bring seconds); that creamy Italian soup is to die for - gimma a gallon; and a small spring salad with your choice of the usual dressing. For our appetizer, we split one that was a toasted crostini with a slab of creamy burrata and a generous sliver of prosciutto. It could have used a drizzling of balsamic vinegar but it was delicious. Came with 3 pieces. By the time my actual main entree arrived, I was fully stuffed. My evil plan worked! Load up on the freebies and appetizers, take a few bites of the main, and have a huge batch of leftovers. With a diet coke and tip, this was $42 and easily can be split into two very generous meals.

We made a reservation for 8:30 and arrived about 20 minutes early so we were expecting to have a little wait before our table was ready. The place was jam packed! Even trying to find a seat at the large bar to have a cocktail before dinner was virtually impossible but we wound up finding one. The bartender made really great drinks so we were very pleased while waiting for our table. Once seated we were provided with water almost immediately and our server arrived shortly after. We put in our drink and appetizer order and then the amazing bread with peppers arrived (complimentary) and we were like two kids in a candy shop. I don't know what they do to those peppers but they're delicious ... and pair perfectly with what I call their pizza bread. Appetizer and drinks were superb and after putting in our entree orders they were placed in front of us in under 20 minutes - fresh, hot and delicious! Neither of us could finish the entrees so we asked for to go containers ... and we certainly gobbled the leftovers up the following day. Oh and there's complimentary valet parking (just tip the valets) which makes for a stress free entrance and exit from the busy parking lot. Giumarellos never disappoints and it was no different this time.

Clean, classy (including white tablecloths) and, as you can see, fall decorations up and popping. *Two thumbs up on the coconut shrimp (the spicy mango was chef's kiss); sweet Italian sausage/cannellini bean/broccoli rabe (the broth was D-LISH); sour dough bread (ALWAYS a fan of that olive oil/seasoning); house salad (SUPER fresh); Caesar salad (would have loved some anchovies ... don't judge me); chicken parm (forgot pic of it *sigh*), and cheese ravioli (quite flavorful for just a cheese filling).
