Tagliatelle Bolognese
Ed K.

My family and I were wandering around Metuchen downtown and came across this cute little Italian restaurant with outdoor seating (we chose to sit inside for whatever reason). We had the Crispy Calamari and Salsiccia (sausage) as starters. Both starters were very tasty. Calamari was extra crispy. The Sausages were good, covered in the same marinara sauce used for the calamari dipping. We ordered a meat lovers pizza. The pizza was amazing. Crust was nice and crispy and great amount of meat. We had the chicken parm with spaghetti. It was good and the portion was decent. Here is why I had to knock it down a star. I personally had the pasta with bolognese. They use the same sauce as our starters except they were a little heavy on the salt. I couldn't finish the dish because of how salty it was. Other than that, the service was great and owner and staff seem very friendly and always came to check on us.

April 2025 Update: The original owner, Dario, has returned & the food is better than ever! During my last visit, I swore I would never return after the experience with the new owners. But as soon as I heard that Dario was back, my entire family made it a point to stop by and see if the rumors were true. Thankfully they were, and the same amazing food we knew & fell in love with is back in Metuchen! Everything we had this time around was a complete 180 from the previous visit. My favorite pasta, the Fettucine Mare, (vodka sauce pasta with crab, scallops and shrimp) was back on the menu and oh how we have missed it!! Other favorites of the night were the bruschetta, shrimp fra diavolo, and salmon. It's amazing how different food can be when you have ownership that truly cares about the sourcing of ingredients. The seafood tasted fresher than ever, produce was of the highest quality. I could go on and on about how good this meal was, but you definitely need to try it yourself to understand. Five stars!

Everything we had was absolutely incredible. The service was incredible, the quality of the food was superior, and the ambience was welcoming and made us which we were in Italy. We will absolutely be coming back if we're in the area.

So glad to see the original owner Dario is back at Che Pizza!!! He is really the heartbeat of this pizzeria. Quality ingredients at a great price. The branzino special, penne vodka and desserts were amazing! Thank you Che!!!

Fettuccine Tre Funghi

Update: July 10, 2024 We try to dine here instead of ordering take out. We ordered Fettuccine Tre Funghi and Crostini de Mare, appetizer. It's delicious. Friendly serving staff and the place is busy since there's the Yacht Rock Gold band concert in the Center Plaza till nine tonight.

Spaghetti and meatballs
Natasha L.

The real star of the show is the food. When you sit down at your table, you're immediately served a basket of warm bread - olive oil is available on the table. This is a nice way to start your meal. The pizzas here are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and they're cooked to perfection. The Margherita is a classic Italian pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil. We also ordered chicken parmigiana, spaghetti with meatballs, pasta and rice balls - all were not only delicious, but also very generous in size. One meal is easily enough to feed two people, and possibly three. This is a great value for your money, especially if you're dining on a budget. The service is excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Caprese Pie Gourmet Pizza Large

is one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I recently went here with my family and tried one of their specialty pies which was basil, ham, mozzarella, tomatoes, and garlic - oh boy it was yum! My mouth is watering. Super flavorful, thin crust, and extremely fresh. Ordered a salad - loaded with veggies and equally fresh. The service was fast, not busy, and polite. Clean place - you could sit there or do takeout.

Momma Mia! This Italiano restaurante was bellisimo. I couldn't leave New Jersey without trying pie ( aka pizza for you southerners). We ordered 4 pies as takeout and it was ready , hot and fast with pickup. Plus, an order of garlic knots with delicious red sauce to dip. Couldn't resist. I ordered a white pizza and the crust was cooked perfectly. Thin and lightly toasted with absolutely no burnt areas .Delicious. I asked for 2 instead of 3 cheeses and they easily accomodated. A margarita pizza with the right amount of red sauce without any extra oil on the pizza was " deliziouso". We ordered a cheese pizza also for the big guys and a 1/2 cheese 1/2 onion and you would have thought they hadn't eaten for days .They devoured the pizza and ate like Jersy boys folding it in half for fun. It was heavenly. The 7 garlic knots were also perfectly cooked and seasoned with the right amount of garlic for us.Those also were devoured in 5 seconds flat. We enjoyed the pizza pies so much we decided to return for a downtown walk at night since it was beautifully lit up for the holidays and made a return visit for dessert. Dario our server gave us exceptional service both visits in 1 night I might add for sfogliatelle. A light thin lobster tail shaped pastry filled with with a delicate candied Citron and ricotta cheese . My traveling partner/ yelpie and his family have Italian roots .His mom even said the red sauce was definitely made like an "Italian mia" The owners are from Italy, so no wonder the food was absolutely bellisimo and mouth watering. Thank you to Che Pizza Restaurante for making my 1st Jersey pie experience unforgettable.

Authentic New Jersey pie aka pizza. Bellissimo. I couldn't have thought to visit mia Familia without checking out some authentic Italian jersey pizza pie. A short walk to downtown Metuchen brought the most familiar and incredibly tasty pie I've had in years. Four pies for six people was enough to fill us up and have some for later. We ordered a margherita 16 inch pie, one half onion half cheese and one cheese pie. They were cooked to perfection. They have a great selection of specialty pies for every taste. This Jersey boy stuck to the traditional pizza pie and it did not disappoint. Beautiful new restaurant with an ample dine in area. They have additional stool seating to the right of the restaurant for those who just want to enjoy a slice or two or maybe enjoy a sfogliatelle. Dario and his staff were amazing!

Side salad
Atira L.

I went here with a party of seven people. I am vegan and gluten free and the others are not. Our table immediately got baskets of warm bread assortments and bowls of olives. The bread looked so delicious but I am gluten free so I just looked at the bread and had a few olives. Everyone said the bread tasted good! I was pleased when I got served my side salad that came with my meal. The salad contained red peppers, cucumbers, artichokes and red onion. I also added on the assorted olives that came out with the warm bread. I never get a side salad that is detailed and delicious. My pasta was gluten free and simply made with marinara sauce but I had them add red peppers and it tasted delicious! Others in my party had seafood and sandwiches and all were pleased. Overall, we said we loved the food and service and would come back. We are actually returning this weekend with a party of 18. I would also like to note that they are very accommodating to large parties like ours. That day we had seven but this time I called and they said they can accommodate my large party of 18. Defiantly give this place a try!

Vegetable slice delicious!

I cannot explain why it took 7 years after Florence, Italy natives Alberto Buglione and Ivan…read moreGuarducci took over this restaurant for me to visit. It is outstanding! Over the years I have heard nothing but good from friends -- "Excellent" "Exactly like they make it in Florence!" "Best Italian food I've ever tasted." I went with a party of four. For appetizers we split the Polpo E Patate (grilled octopus & potatoes) and Patate Fritte (French fries). The octopus was amazing, tender almost like perfect scallops with a tasty pesto. The French fries with herbs, garlic bread crumbs and pesto were crunchy, tasty, delicious. For mains my companions had Branzino with eggplant carponata, an amazing 4-cheese Gnocchi, and swordfish. I tasted all, and all were spot on; everyone loved their main course. I had Linguini Vongole (clams and linguini); the clams were perfect - tender and tasty; but the star of the show was the homemade linguine, seasoned perfectly and cooked to al dente perfection. We finished with cappuccino and Tiramasu. The service was excellent. Attentive and quick, and our waitress, Merin, was able to answer every question about the menu with authority, and even about the ingredients and preparation. The ambiance is understated, relaxed, and what you hope for when enjoying a special meal. I am quite stingy in passing out 5-Star ratings; I reserve them for the best of the best, for restaurants where I'm confident readers will also enjoy an outstanding meal. Mangia Toscano is clearly 5-Star; it is *the* must-do restaurant in Metuchen.

The food, service, and atmosphere were definitely a vibe! Everything about the experience was…read moreenjoyable from start to finish. I had the Salmon and the Gnocchi Al Pesto, and both dishes were delicious, savory, and full of flavor. The staff was attentive, the ambiance was great, and the overall experience made me want to come back again. Highly recommend!

Pinoy sweet tooth: SUCCESS!…read more If you're an ube lover, this spot is definitely worth a visit! The ube cheesecake was SO good, and the ube bread was just as delicious. Add in the solid desserts, refreshing non-alcoholic drinks, and good service, and you've got yourself a winning combination. Basically, a one-stop shop for all your ube cravings. I'll definitely be back for another round! Casual ambiance.

I'd give it more like 3.5 stars. They are pricey for a place that serves some of your food on…read moredisposable plates. I'm not sure how they determine what dishes go on what, but my UBE PANCAKES were served on a plate and my LUMPIASILOG was served on a disposable paper plate. UBE PANCAKES $14 (but $12.99 on their website??) - 2 medium sized plain pancakes drizzled with ube sauce and topped with a ton berries. The price is kinda justifiable due to the amount of berries they top it with. But ube flavor was lacking (as I suspected) because ube extract was used. LUMPIASILOG- $11.99 - 9 pork lumpia with garlic rice and an over easy egg. Delicious lumpia. They tasted home made. This dish was satisfying. I just didn't appreciate the disposable plate. TURON LATTE - $5 - A well made latte, but tasted nothing like turon. It just tasted like caramel. BIBINGKA CHEESECAKE $8 - Tasted like a regular cheesecake. I thought maybe I was given the wrong item? There was nothing bibingka about it. But it was a good cheesecake. UBE CHEESECAKE $8 - Just a really purple cheesecake. Also, well baked, but not much flavor. I would come back just to get the cheesecake to- go. But I know not to expect it to taste like biningka or ube. If you're just craving a really good cheesecake that is not overly sweet and has the best texture, theirs is worth it. Service was lacking. I felt like the woman who took my order, im guessing the owner, had a bit of an attitude. She looked like she was busy and was juggling everything herself and seemed like she was inconvenienced when I walked in with my family to place a dine-in order.
