    a large pizza in a box
    Erika U.

    I was impressed how good this pizza was. After reading the reviews, I wanted to give this place a try and im glad I did. The pizza has a nice balance between cheese and sauce. The crust is nice and soft. The prices are nice and affordable. Im looking forward to trying different things. A+

    Square pizza too doughy
    Nicholas G.

    I knew the 4.5 star rating is probably deceiving since this is the suburbs and you can never trust the ratings in the burbs. There are 2 reasons for this... 1.) People are too nice and don't gibe the honest review 2.) they arent exposed to the best pizza so their perception of good is skewed. Nevertheless, I ordered both the square and the regular pizza pie. I was holding out hope but my worse fears were realized. It is below average pizza. The square slice is better than the regular but not by much. The regular has a saltiness to it which is typical from average pizza. The square is doughy and a little better but it is not as good as Brooklyn square. I hate to do this to the place but I can only be honest since the Yelp nation counts on me to give a fair review. This is more of a 2.5 star place. It is bang average which I should have expected.

    Salmon and steak and the potatoes were perfect
    Lisa H.

    if I could give 6 stars I would. This place really went above and beyond. We were looking for a place to accommodate 10 people at around 6:00. We were told by one place that they were short-staffed and couldn't help us (they were not). This place took us in with open arms and Sal and Fernando cooked us a DYNAMITE family style meal. Everything was perfect and delicious. The salad, steak, salmon, lobster ravioli....they even had ZUCCHINI FLOWERS!!!

    Zuppa de Pesce appetizer loaded with mussels, calamari, shrimp, salmon and scallops. Amazing!
    Tim I.

    Don't judge a book by it's cover when it comes to this gem! Luisa's is the real deal! Excellent service, outstanding delicacies and all at a good value. First time here we were meeting friends for a quick birthday celebration only because it was at the half-way point for our friends. 3 hours and a personal touch by owner, Sal, later....you get the idea. They made us feel like family. Even plated 3 desserts and added candles and sang Happy Birthday! We'll be meeting our friends their again, for sure. Thanks for a great time, Sal!

    Good pizza, crust on the thinner side which I like. Sauce is on the sweet side with an adequate amount of cheese. Overall a good pie.

I ordered the pork chop and I swear it melted in my mouth faster than my paycheck disappears on Amazon. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and seasoned so well I almost stood up and applauded in the middle of the restaurant. Then came dessert... the cannoli cake. Whoever invented that deserves their own national holiday. Out of this world doesn't even describe it. I took one bite and immediately started questioning every other dessert I've ever eaten in my life. The staff was awesome, the atmosphere was great, and honestly I'd probably fight a small bear for another slice of that cake.

    This past Saturday night was my husband and my first time dining at this restaurant even though we…read moredo live locally. Many of our friends have recommended Clarizio's to us but every time we gave thought about coming it has been particularly difficult to get a reservation on a Saturday night. I was working late on Saturday, so I was unaware that my husband was able to make a reservation for 8:30PM. Reservations are not made through Open Table. Instead, Clarizio's website send you to another site called Resy to make a reservation. What was shocking and disappointing is that Clarizio's hold your credit card number to secure the reservation and if you don't show a $25 fee is charged. My husband was so worried that they were going to count us as a no show because we were running a little late. He even tried to call to inform them that we were running late, but no one answered the phone. Luckily, Clarizio's called us because we were about 10 min late to inquire our whereabouts and we had just turned into the restaurant parking lot. Upon arrival, the hostess took us to a table set for 2 in a crowded dining room with all other tables holding large parties. Although it was crowded it did not take away anything from our wonderful dining experience! Our waiter John P was extremely nice and helpful especially after he learned that it was our first time dining here. Unfortunately, I was unaware that it was BYOB because I was working and was unable to check the website. Our waiter John eased our minds by saying that it was okay and that we would have to rely on their food to make a good impression. That certainly was no disappointment! Our food was so terrific, that we cannot wait to return and taste so many other delicious sounding items on their menu. John also told us that unless we have huge appetites, their entree portions were large enough to share. We were glad to take John's suggestion and shared the Zuppa di Pesce which was plentiful of shellfish in a tomato broth over angel hair pasta. We have had this dish in many other Italian restaurants and this was one of the best! This entree also came with one salad and I asked for an extra salad for me since we were sharing the entree. Not to go unnoticed was the crunchy outside and soft inside delicious bread. For dessert, we shared the Tiramisu suggested by John as it was his personal favorite. It was so light and flavorful that we too could make it our personal favorite! All in all this was a fabulous dining experience and I highly recommend this restaurant! Next time though, I will remember to bring a bottle of wine.

It was a quiet Monday, President's Day, late afternoon and coming back from a road trip. Brooklyn Square was the perfect pit stop! We had some pizza, some pasta and some salad and it was all really good. Our server highly recommended sandwich #17 and it was so good. I would have never ordered a grilled shrimp panini - - but this one was loaded with shrimp, avocado, broccoli rabe and fresh mozz -- SO GOOD - - definitely try that one! Service was also very good. Our server had so much patience - - it's hard to decide on an order because everything is so good! There's a reason Dave Portnoy gave Brooklyn Square a 8.9 rating - - the signature "upside down" pizza is so good. (Cheese on the bottom, sauce on the top). It's actually hard to even pick one slice - - so you'll have to go back and try other ones. My husband loves the eggplant rollatini....breaded eggplant rolled with ricotta, spinach, roasted red peppers with mozz on top - -that brings him back to Brooklyn Square every time! There are also quite a few other locations - Manalapan, Toms River, Bradley Beach, and the new Shrewsbury restaurant. I can't wait for them to open up their Marlboro location!

I ordered the burger, which was pretty big and juicy. The fries were nice and crispy as well. For dessert, we got the banana dulce de leche gelato and ice cream cookie sandwiches. The gelato was so unique and rich. The ice cream cookie sandwiches were perfect for me and I loved the side of Nutella with nuts on top which added a nice crunch. Their commitment to hospitality beats most restaurants I've ever visited. In our reservation, I noted that we were celebrating a birthday. When we were sat at the table, a birthday card was waiting for my mom. Our waitress Bailey was so nice and accommodated my mom's request to not draw too much attention to the celebration.

Very cool that Venue 618 was the only NJ restaurant to make the recent Yelp Top 100 restaurants in the US. Sitting at the bar, we were served by Zoey, Steve, and Mike. They've re-done their cocktail menu to include beautiful color illustrations. I enjoyed "One in a Melon," a well-balanced whiskey cocktail with Frank August small batch bourbon, melon, poblano pepper, Aperol, and lime. This was followed by a tasty whiskey sour. My wife ordered a Lemon Drop martini, followed by a decadent chocolate-pistachio dessert martini. All of the cocktails were well-balanced and delicious. On the food side, I munched on a baked macaroni & cheese with chorizo. It was perfect! The Death of Hospitality brand thrives on personalization and unexpected surprises. Mixologist Steve, realizing that I'm a whiskey afficionado, surprised me with a small pour of Rock Hill Farms Single Barrel bourbon. This is a difficult bottle to find in New Jersey. Rock Hill Farms was incredible, with a super long finish. Thanks for the memories 618!
