As you can see from my last review in August 2025 this is now one of my top 5 restaurants for happy…read morehour at the bar or when we are in the mood for good Italian cuisine. In fact this is now our #1 Italian restaurant for happy hour. We were here on Wednesday for happy hour at the bar. I will summarize our two most recent visits here: I started with my favorite two Limontinis for $11 each. They offered a half price bottle of wine special. We opted for the Tinto Negro Malbec red wine for $40, which was discounted down to $20. The Tinto Negro tasted great. I also enjoyed my usual Bob's happy hour meatballs with crostini for $11. My total bill was $81 less gratuity. I was awarded a Local by Toast Reward program annual birthday reward credit in the amount of $10 so my bill was reduced down to $71 less gratuity. Our bartender Sabina G. applied my $10 birthday credit to my bill, which reduced it down to $71 less gratuity. I like how easy it was for me to apply for my $10 birthday credit using my mobile phone number under the Local by Toast Reward program. We returned here again in January with our friends. I enjoyed my usual two Limontinis, my Yuenling draft beer and my three Bob's meat balls. My total bile was $57.25. Sabina served us very well both times by being very customer friendly. We all agreed we will continue to return here when we are in the mood for good Italian.

We've lived in the area seven years, and for some reason this is our first trip to Perucci's. Now I…read moreknow what we've been missing! It's a small unassuming building tucked behind a bakery, so it's easy to miss. Drinks were good. I had a dirty martini and, I'm not sure, but the blue cheese stuffed olives looked like they were stuffed by hand - impressive! I shared a Cesar salad with my husband. Nothing special about the dressing although the croutons tasted homemade. My husband had meat lasagna - it was good but very heavy and rich in my opinion. I had fettuccine carbonara - it was delicious. We shared almond cake and tiramisu for dessert, both good. We plan to return!

I guess this was something i took for granted in the largely Italian area I lived in. The owner even came out and introduced himself and told us all about the restaurant. This was an amazing personal touch and just made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was cozy and the prices are surprisingly low for food of this quality. I will be coming back here many times. Thank you for making us feel welcome and feeding us genuine Sicilian cuisine.

We went with friends last night to this restaurant. There were 5 of us. When we paid the bill they…read moreadded a 20 percent tip unbeknownst to us! We weren't that large of a party. My friend said she'd leave a cash tip and handed it to the waitress, who took it without blinking. She would have made $60. (we did ask for the cash back). The service in general was less than desirable. On an upnote the food was amazing!

Devon was our delightful server tonight.

Crispy outer leaves and thoroughly cooked halves. The glaze was so good and the bacon ! We were only going to eat half and bring the rest home, but we couldn't stop and ate them all! I had the chicken marsala - delish! And husband had the stuffed shells special (with crab). Just an all around lovely dinner out.

Our server, Devyn made some excellent dinner suggestions. I had my all time favorite Veal Saltimbuca. It was perfection! I am a North Jersey gal and I am accustomed to really good Italian food and Mio's surpassed my expectations. The veal was so tender, the sage sauce was beyond delicious and the spinach risotto was the icing on my cake! The portion sizes are more than adequate. One thing and my pet peeve - the side of linguini was not completely drained. My dinner companions very much enjoyed their entrees of the lasagna and the stuffed Flounder with crab royal special. Our Appy of antipasto was dressed nicely and was plentiful for three. The bread was crusty on the outside and tender on the inside. Desserts were over the top, bread pudding was so good served warm and with vanilla ice cream. We also shared the lemon berry mascarpone cake- yummy! Pistachio and espresso martinis were strong but good. We'll be back soon. Very enjoyable. My only regret was that I hadn't tried them earlier.

Good sized bar, full service, TV's (NHL Playoffs were on) Staff were great. Side note, whomever was in charge of the playlist knew his or her assignment- well done. Very much an old Italian restaurant feel. Staff was extremely nice and attentive. And heads up the meal will arrive quickly. So do what we did. Order a drink and an appetizer then main course when ready. Portions are very generous. We had ample leftovers- see the pictures- for dinner tomorrow when we get back home.and the pricing were reasonable. The bread is crispy, fresh and warm. So to the food. All the portions are large. Calamari as an appetizer- ohhhh So good. Very light and crispy, not dense or big clumps of calamari. Sauce was spot on. Slight pepper taste to it. They had a special tonight- ossobuco (pork shank) tomato sauce and gnocchi which the mrs had- and so did four others near us. The pork was so tender and fell off the bone, very very good. I was highly encouraged to have the chicken parm. Not sure how the hell they found a chicken that big for the portion I received. Outstanding. Lightly breaded, juicy, very nice sauce and goobs of cheesy goodness.. how any human could eat this in one sitting is beyond me. We have amble leftovers for tomorrow. Mrs got cannolis to go. Pizza made on the spot.. we will be back and this spot is highly recommended.. I found the prices reasonable and better than other offerings in the area. They close at 9 so keep that in mind..

I realized after that we can get good pizza outside of NYC. This one was different though, I am used to some good, crunchy crust with some softness inside. This crust was just soft, where it excelled was with the flavor. The sauce and the cheese were so good it overshadowed the short comings with the crust.
