    This is the most crispest, flavorful and well balanced Tomato Pizza pie in my opinion.

    Authentic Trenton style Tomato Pie
    Brian M.

    Off the charts good food! Incredibly authentic Italian food. From the Trenton tomato pies to the hearty meatballs, and everything in between... phenomenal! The Waite staff are attentive, and the prices are very fair. I love how it's just a small nondescript, yet comfortable interior. It's all about the food! Love too that it's BYOB. We have found our new favorite place!

    Zucchini Fritters, at Gervasios Italian Family Restaurant in Chesterfield, NJ.
    Tom D.

    1st Timers to Gervasios Italian Family Restaurant yesterday. I wanted to try their Tomato Pie after seeing a pic of one in the NJ Pizza Joints forum on Facebook. My Mother In Law ordered a chicken parm sandwich, and my wife went with the Chicken Milanese. We also had the Zucchini Fritters to start off with. Zucchini Fritters were outstanding, very tasty. Marinara sauce that came with the appetizer was spot on. When the meals came out, we realized we were definitely going to take some home -- super generous portion sizes. The Tomato pie was decent w/ no flop, and my wife & Mother In Law loved their meals. The arugula salad on top of the Chicken Milanese was a Home Run with my wife. The restaurant is smallish in size, but the atmosphere was cozy & inviting. Our server, Dylan, was funny & personable, we liked him (even my wife). We really enjoyed our experience at Gervasios Italian Family Restaurant yesterday, and we plan to come back again in the near future. The place is a Winner, an Easy 5 Star review.

    House salad (good portion, ok)
    Vince S.

    I'm old enough to have good memories of the original G's in Hamilton. At that time there were many good to great Italian options in nearby Chambersburg. But this was a stand alone in the burbs. I'm happy to say that much of the good food has been recreated here, but service could use some improvement. I tried ti make a reservation for 7 for an early Saturday lunch, they don't accept reservations. We took our chances and met here around 12:45 and found an almost empty restaurant. We were assigned a booth with small table added that was not quite able to fit all of us. We were told this was our only option, we were not even allowed to switch the smaller table with one of the several empty larger ones, again we were told the owner doesn't allow it. For the few of us drinking wine we were given the tiniest of glasses. Sometimes this is the case but my astute relative noticed they also had full size red wine glasses on a shelf. We let this pass. The food was 4 stars. I was curious about the zuke fritters, I liked them a lot, the addition of bean purée made them milder and creamier, nice app to share. House salads come with many of the pasta and entree options and these are a decent sized chopped salad, possibly better than competitors. My relatives enjoyed their pasta dishes, and I can personally attest to the manicotti. I saw the chicken parm from afar and was not offered a taste, but by looks alone I'll try that next. The meatballs were above average or higher, as was the marinara and ragu. We were all too stuffed for dessert. I'm fairly close and will likely return for takeout at some point, I'm curious about the pies. While the customer service issues were a factor I'd give them another chance and chalk it up to an inexperienced staff. But it's nice to see a family business continue to serve younger generations.

    Margherita Sicilian Pizza
    Mike P.

    Super excited to have an Italian place open up in our local neighborhood shops! Tried them out last night for the first time. I think they've been open for about 2 weeks now. We decided to go with pizza since we were going with carry out. We ordered the Margherita Sicilian pie. They told us it would be ready in about an hour which seemed long for a single pizza order but they're new and I figured they were slammed since it was dinner time on Friday night. I wasn't sure where to enter since they have two outside doors. When I got inside the hostess was super friendly in directing me to the take out area. The young man working the take out counter was also very friendly and apologized for the long wait on the pizza order. He had about 15-20 tickets next to the register, so they were indeed slammed and he wasn't frazzled at all. After I paid I got my pizza within minutes so I didn't mind the timing at all. You told me an hour, I came in an hour, and it was ready. That's perfect to me! If you told me 30 mins and I waited 30 mins in the carry out area, then I'd be upset. The pizza was very good. Sauce was unique compared to other places in the area, and the pie had a nice crunch on it. Maybe too crunchy on the edges bordering on overdone. We'll definitely order from here again and look forward to trying out the dine in experience and some of the other entrees. Not the best pie that we've had but certainly worth getting again, and the staff interactions were enough to keep this at a 4-star for me.

    Light sauce...I eat half was hungry...but not enough to eat the rest...
    Bennett F.

    One star for friendly service! My wife and I decided to try this place out for a late lunch...happened to be in the area for a funeral. She had the chicken franchise with slices of garlic the size of thumb nails...soupy to describe the sauce would be an understatement...although not a huge fan of capers don't remember many chicken franchises coming with capers but there's did... I had perhaps one of the worst chicken Parmesan ever!! Asked for light sauce wasn't...server agreed and asked if I wanted it made again. I said no!! Forget the tasteless light sauce...the chicken "cutlet" were not pounded-tough-and burnt in the fryer!!! The rest of the stores in the complex were either closed or never rented... my guess this one will be next

    Fried Mozzarella
    Darsha M.

    Came for lunch on Father's Day and had a great experience! The tomato pie was my favorite, it was thin and well done. We also ordered the Sicilian pie which tasted great. For apps, we ordered the zucchini fritters and fried mozzarella which were good to share with a group. Overall, a great addition to the neighborhood!

    Penne pasta with a Ragú sauce and meatballs with a side of sausage. Delicious
    Christopher R.

    I grew up in Chambersburg a neighborhood in Trenton that was considered "Little Italy" back in the day. My last name ends in a vowel and my family could be considered American-Italian. So, I love good Italian food and I consider the food at Gervasio's some of the best. I got the penne (pencil points) with meatballs. The sauce, or gravy, was excellent. A ragú with meatballs on top. I got a side of sausage which was also delicious. The dish was piled high with pasta with a generous amount of sauce. It was perfect. The service was quick and friendly and our waiter Dillon was attentive. The ambiance reminded me of restaurants in "The Burg" as the music consisted of Frankie Valley, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin among others. I have eaten here before, will do so again, and highly recommend it to others.

    Grandma's pie. Yum
    Deanna B.

    Delicious sauce on the pizza. No flop! We went with Dylan the server's recommendations - grandma's pie and the Tony G - amazing. The homemade blue cheese is money as well. Family friendly and great service. A nice little pit stop on our way home from NYC.

They know what they're doing. I had an egg and pork roll breakfast wrap with cooper sharp cheese and potatoes. It was not simply good. It was built with care. Each bite made sense. The kind of sandwich that understands the human condition before noon, yet still works for brinner. I also got a half dozen buffalo wings. They arrived unapologetically. Crispy, tangy, just spicy enough to wake you up without starting a fight. They made me grateful for opposable thumbs. Now, as much as I enjoyed my food, my thirteen-year-old found it to be next level. He looked at the menu like it was designed in a lab specifically for him. Burgers. Hot dogs. Boba teas. Milkshakes. Breakfast all day. His eyes lit up like Christmas morning in July. He chose a jumbo chili hot dog and fried mac and cheese bites. He loved them both in a way that made me briefly worry he'd move into the restaurant. My father-in-law got the Greek Chicken Panini. He nodded. Smiled. Said it was very good. He doesn't say that often. It meant something. Most people come here for breakfast, and I can see why. But don't sleep on the rest of the menu. Lunch and dinner are equally worthy. This place understands what makes people happy and serves it without pretense. Five stars. No notes.

I haven't been to this site since it was Dublin Square which was a long time ago. Some of the layout changed. They no longer have the old bar separated from the dining area. Callie was our server and did a great job. I was there with some friends from SC. We started by ordering the large pretzel which comes out on a pretzel hanger along with some beer cheese for dipping. They also use that hanger for bacon. The pretzel was enough for 4 of us. I ordered the wings and selected Nashville Hot and Hog Sauce as my flavors. They claim they sell by the pound ($15.50) but it ends up being 8 wings. If you want to split flavors, they make it dry and bring the sauce on the side for dipping. Luckily the Nashville Hot is a dry rub. It was very good and not too spicy. The Hog Sauce is a combo of Buffalo and Garlic which was excellent. The wings themselves were plump, juicy and crispy. Five stars. Plenty of parking. Some tables available outside for outdoor seating when it ever gets nice in NJ. Bathrooms were very clean. You may find some little pink pigs around. Not sure if they're complimentary, but my wife took the one that was next to our table. My only complaint is they have too many of their draft beers designated for only 10 oz pours even with low ABV. I had a Kane Head High which was in a 16 oz glass. They also use OpenTable for reservations which I used as well.

You'll want to try the chicken parmigiana pizza, with a crispy chicken cutlet serving as the dough instead! Try a Trenton famous tomato pie, and see that it compares well to other notorious spots in the area! Their Billy Mac cheeseburger came loaded with creamy Mac and cheese! We loved the Mac and cheese so much we even ordered it as a side. For a more traditional entree, try the short rib for a cozy fall dinner. The short rib was tender and inviting and came with an ample amount of mashed potatoes and veggies. A great healthier option.

The cookie skillet was warm and gooey and the funnel cake fries brought the classic treat without all the mess! Make Flying Pig tavern your next hangout spot. It's a great place to watch a game, join in on their trivia nights, or come by for ladies night. They have a large spacious room upstairs that can be rented out for parties. The staff took wonderful care of us, they were so nice and attentive. I loved it so much my friends and I came back for their trivia night!
