Large tomato pie( thin crust, very good)
Vince S.

This one falls into the hidden gem category for me. Driving by I hardly gave this place a thought. It is surrounded by the Mercer county kings of tomato pie( 2 Delos and Papas!) not to mention great sandwich shops and Italian markets. We were looking for a place to bring my uncle for a Saturday lunch. My choices all were closed for lunch and my cousin suggested we try Mannino's. Looking it up on Yelp for the first time I noticed some very positive recent reviews, my concern turned to modest optimism. We sat in the pizzeria side, I already knew I'd order a tomato pie. My cousins both ordered large salads, and my uncle had 4 cheese pasta . It was an option I've never seen him order elsewhere so I made sure that's what he wanted. To me it looked like penne tossed in a white cheese sauce with sausage, broccoli and mushrooms. He loved it! It was an enormous portion and came with soup which he took home. My cousins both liked their choices too. One was a seared piece of salmon on top of a large salad, the other thinly breaded eggplant. Both with lots of salad ingredients as well as fresh mozzarella. I thoroughly enjoyed my tomato pie. It looked the part, and more importantly was thin and perfectly cooked. A slice held taut with only two finger supporting it. The sauce was acidic and also slightly sweet. And a perfect sauce to cheese ratio that kept the undercarriage from getting soggy. Now you may ask if it was as good as the previously cited places, and I'd have to say, it's pretty close! To test this I went back a few days after to order the pesto pie. This was huge and filling, and very tasty too. Service was friendly if a little confused. But the prices and food quality made up for it. I picked up the bill and was astonished, $52 for 4 people! 3 of us had leftovers too. My uncle will be celebrating his 97th birthday this month and driving home I asked where he wanted to go for it. He replied he'd like to come back here. It should be noted that there is an updated dining room that would suit such occasions well. We'll be back soon....

Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich
Manish C.

Mannino's 3 is a small, unassuming Italian eatery/pizzeria located on Route 33 in Hamilton Square that's been around for decades. While it doesn't look like much on the outside, the interiors have been updated and are tastefully done, which make it very welcoming and a great place to have a meal. We tried a variety of items over 2 visits including a plain cheese and Sicilian slice, garlic knots, penne vodka, and a chicken parmigiana sandwich. Both the standard cheese and Sicilian slices (3/5) were just ok, without much flavor in the cheese and otherwise unimpressive. Growing up, I remember them having better pizza, so perhaps ingredients have changed over the years. The garlic knots (4/5) were really good, and unlike most places in the area, had a bit of a kick to them...I think mixed in with the garlic and oil was a hint of crushed red pepper, which really elevated their taste to make them stand out. Most eateries don't get too creative with their garlic knots, so I give Manninos credit for trying something different. The penne vodka (3.5/5) was an above average recipe typical of area Italian restaurants, sure to satisfy your penne vodka craving, and came with a decent complementary side salad. The chicken parmigiana sandwich (3.5/5) was also good, but nothing special about the recipe to distinguish it. The service (4.5/5) was very friendly and cordial; while most of the staff consists of upbeat high school kids, the waitress we had on our most recent visit seemed to have been there for decades (perhaps family of the owners) and seemed to be on top her game, taking a lot of pride in her work. Overall, I'd rate Manninos a 3.5/5, which is my rating for a perfectly solid and wholesome central NJ Italian eatery/pizzeria, but happy to round up given the friendly service, pleasant decor, and extremely reasonable prices.

Vodka Rigatoni personal pie & veggie lovers pie
Antonio D.

Shoutout to Sarah for the excellent service. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Our mac & cheese bites came out super quick and were very tasty, and the pizzas were soooo good. Pricing was surprisingly low & they value military discount. So happy I decided to come by for the first time on my birthday. Definitely a hidden gem on 33!

My friend who lives in the area has brought me pizza here on a few occasions. I like their white pizza with broccoli and tomatoes. I have also had their Sicilian, grandma, and regular pizza. That's where the 2 stars come in to play as they were horrible! They make the worst red sauce here! It has no flavor at all! The dough to the Sicilian slice was too hard! The quality of cheese they use to their pizzas wasn't great either! If your looking for a white slice those are pretty good/decent here, but don't even waste your time getting anything else.

Salmon with couscous and asparagus- excellent dish with a light and moist flavor.
Brian W.

Don't make the novice mistake of judging a book by its facade. While most know this establishment as a pizza place, step in from the parking lot to be dazzled with a new decor all the way down to the plates and flatware. The menu items are excellent and a wide selection that even stumped me. Friendly staff, great choices that can be adjusted to your taste and needs. Excellent ingredients and flavorful dishes abound. Plus, you'd be surprised that it doesn't break the bank, hence you can come often and still not have tried everything the menu. A delightful find that will for sure surprise you. Bring friend, lots of soace and parking in back too. Byo

Quality of this place went down hill. Order a vodka rigatoni pizza, has barely any pasta, it's all vodka sauce. Not going here anymore

The combination of mustard and sausage is unique and incredibly satisfying. What makes this place even more special is its more than 100 years of experience -- you can truly taste the tradition, craftsmanship, and passion in everything they serve. This is not just pizza; it's history and excellence on a plate. Highly recommended -- we'll definitely be coming back!

Rocco's closed down in Newtown, PA and their pork chop was the best...this pork chop was right up there with Rocco's. The mustard sauce, unique topping, was amazing. I am thinking about it today and my mouth is watering. My husband's veal was probably the best he has ever had. The most tender veal ever with a delicious marsala sauce. Then there were the pastas and seafood...all delicious. Oh and the calamari. It was all so darn good. Kyle was our server and he added to a perfect dining experience. He answered our questions, described the choices right on, made recommendations, he was friendly, had a wanting to please attitude and my 13 yr old granddaughter was crushing on him. (Haha). Wish all of our servers were that effecient and good. Gotta love a BYOB! The restaurant is modernly decorated and very comfortable. High energy kinda place. Noise level was high but all restaurants are loud these days and it really wasn't too bad. It was our first time at this restaurant and even though it is a bit far...we can't wait to go back. It is a pleasure to support a family run business. The owner came to our table and you could see her pride and we also felt our business was appreciated. I see why every table was full on a Sunday night. I just wish this place were in our neighborhood!! Love love love it!!!

We just quit going out for Italian other than for tomato pies, but now we've begun actively looking for a place to enjoy simple Italian food--outside of the ubiquitous tomato pies. Gennaro's was our first stop, with the menu definitely reading more New World Italian than Old World. We started with a couple of appetizers: The Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms in Scampi sauce and the Antipasto Salad. I'm not a fan of Antipasto salads (I've a three item max addition rule for salads and tomato pies), but my wife enjoyed it. It was your standard antipasto salad for the area--perhaps more generous with the meat and cheese than the last one we ordered up the street at Papa's. The stuffed mushrooms had a good flavor, and although the sauce didn't really hit me as Scampi (the garlic wasn't really there), it was still good on its own, and I'd order it again. My wife ordered the Pork Chop Giambotta, which she truly enjoyed. It was a thick, good sized pork chop covered with a sauce that included potatoes, sausage slices, and sautéed peppers. The menu said that the peppers were hot and sweet, but they were pretty much 99.9% hot peppers. If that's an issue for you, I'd make a point in mentioning it to your server first. My wife doesn't do spicy, but luckily I was there to find a home for the hot peppers, and she said she'd order it again if we returned. My Veal Saltimbocca, however, was a letdown. The veal was overcooked and had lost its tenderness, but most surprising to me was that it was very different from the standard version I've known for years. Had I read the description more carefully, I'd have caught the fact it was in a tomato demi-glace rather than the white wine and butter emulsion I know and love. Also, the ham that was used was not the thinly sliced prosciutto one normally sees, instead it was a thick slice of something that I can't honestly tell you was prosciutto or not. The use of spinach instead of a sage leaf wasn't a complete shock, as I've seen that before. Overcooked veal, the prosciutto mystery, and tradition straying aside, the flavor almost bordered on being alright, but it definitely wasn't what I'd hoped for when I placed the order. To add insult to injury, I asked for pasta as my side, and was given a couple choices--I chose the linguini and got served a dente-less spaghetti. When I asked the waiter (who was otherwise extremely conscientious and attentive) if they were out of linguini, I was told that there's really very little difference between the two, which so blew my mind that I just shrugged and ate. While we were there, we could see that there were many people who acted like regulars enjoying their meals, and many of them were also eating tomato pies, however, we're on the hunt for a place that's going to satisfy our need for an Italian place that provides beyond the pizza oven. I'm up in the air about a second shot--my wife was much happier than me with the location (which means we'll likely go), but I'll definitely ask our server more questions about what I'm ordering next time to avoid any surprises.

The desire to try out a new spot in the area that served up the more traditional round pie led me here. Although I stopped in for take out, they have a decent dining area between the tables inside and the outdoor patio area. I went with a standard cheese pizza and an order of garlic knots. The garlic knots (3.25/5) were a bit on the smaller side, but served in a nice portion size with a decent garlic kick to them. The large cheese pizza (3.5/5) was a small notch above the central New Jersey average, with the dough, sauce, & cheese coming together for a nice pizza experience, although I did have to sprinkle on some spices to add to the flavor profile a bit. Service (4/5) while picking up was friendly, although slightly slow at first since the guy at the counter was initially fixated on his phone for a bit. Overall, I'd rate Massimo's a 3.5/5 pizza experience, and don't mind rounding up since Yelp doesn't allow half stars and menu prices were fairly reasonable. While I'm not sure I'd choose Massimo's over other pizza competitors in the Robbinsville/Hamilton area, it's still a decent option should you find yourself looking for a more traditional round pizza experience.

Between the poor quality of the food, the lack of professionalism, and the overall experience, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are several other places in the Robbinsville area that offer much better food, service, and value for your money.

And yet Nonno Sal's keeps the ovens hot and the lights on. There's something admirable about that. Persistence is a virtue, and so is knowing exactly what you are. Nonno Sal's isn't chasing the high end pizza pilgrim. You won't find philosophical arguments about char or hydration levels happening here. What you will find is a fairly dependable pie with thin crust that holds up, a good layer of cheese, and sauce that tastes like someone has been making it the same way for awhile. The slices fold without complaint and the toppings behave themselves. It's the sort of pizza you bring home on a Friday when everyone is tired and nobody wants to cook or a speech. The prices are kinder to your wallet than the famous spots nearby, and that matters. Not every meal needs to be a religious experience. Sometimes food just needs to feed five people without causing regret. The sandwiches and salads are solid citizens too. Nothing showy, just competent and filling. They even still do a nice version of Peppers and Eggs, which is a throwback I can appreciate. The dining area has a few old Formica tables that look like they have seen a few Little League celebrations, but not much regular use. You can eat there if you like, but this is a takeout joint through and through. In a world that rewards spectacle, Nonno Sal's rewards appetite and respects your budget. It knows its job and does it.

It's one of those places that can be easily missed if you're not looking for it, as there is no signage along the road to indicate a pizza place (not one that I could see having passed by many times over the years). Italian eateries and pizza parlors are a dime a dozen in the area, however this one is mainly suited for take out, with a few tables off to the side to eat a slice or have a quick no frills lunch. It's definitely not a fancy place you'd want to dine in at, despite having a full menu of pizza and Italian dishes. We kept things simple by ordering a large plain cheese pizza and a chicken parmigiana sandwich. The pizza was slightly above average for a central NJ pizzeria, with decent sauce, cheese, and crust. It was a slightly thinner base and crust as compared to more doughy and thicker counterparts in the area. The chicken parm sandwich was similarly above average with decent ingredients. Everything was satisfying and on par for a good central NJ pizza experience. I'd rate my overall experience a solid 3.5/5, but happy to round up since the person working the counter was kind and thanked me when I went to pick up.
