    Double birthday celebration
    Jessica C.

    Love the food, service, and serving size . Nice and clean. The pasta is amazing and our waitress Berta was so warm and friendly as well as the people at the pizza counter. Best Italian place around and now they even have a bit of Spanish food as well if you're in the mood. BYOB and enjoy!!

    Best pizza in the area, hands down. Consistently good. Other pizza places in the area aren't bad but Pennington has the best flavor. We've had their mozzarella sticks and calzones from here too, also yummy. Can't speak on their pastas or salads, need to try. They do a heart shaped pizza for our kids for Valentines Day, so cute. Definitely recommend. Easy to get to on 31.

    A soupy, gloppy disaster
    Jeff S.

    Is there a zero star? Literally the worst pizza I've ever had. Soupy sauce , congealed cheese, tasteless crust. Toppings literally slid off the crust it was so wet. Got my order wrong. Garbage pizza. Stay far away.

    Regular cheese used on the Brooklyn Pizza which reads fresh mozzarella.

    Mediocre pizza. Very little taste and our pie had too much crust. Might give it one more try but going to need a big rebound.

    2.5 stars. I had dinner here tonight and was not impressed. The restaurant seemed nice when we…read morewalked in. There's a bar area and a restaurant area. I've heard good things but they did not hit it out of the park for me. I have dietary preferences that I found very hard to make work here. I had looked at the menu beforehand and identified two options that would work for me. The crispy wings and the burger. It turns out I could try neither of those options as they were out of both. It's a Wednesday dinner service and the restaurant was empty so imagine my severe disappointment. I ended up getting a Caesar salad which was fine but let's be honest a Caesar salad is lettuce, cheese, dressing and croutons. There was nothing to write home about with this one. The other three members of the group got pizzas. Here comes the next disappointment - it took more than 45 minutes for the food to come out. There were only two other tables with people so I cannot understand why it took so long. All this to say I waited almost an hour for my sad plate of lettuce, which was not my first or second choice. I was annoyed and still left hungry. The rest of the group seemed to enjoy their pizzas, but I will not be returning.

    Looking for a light lunch today as the temperatures hovered in the mid 90's, we decided to give…read moreOsteria Procaccini a try. Upon entering the nicely cooled place, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated by a window adjacent to the wood fire oven. This was our first visit. The room is very lively. Thankful we were seated in the corner which helped with the acoustics. With the dining room mostly full at lunchtime, it was difficult to hear my bride on the other side of the table. We were in no hurry so overtime, the place thinned out a bit and the volume subsided. Could be a real issue on a busy night. Might try the bar room side next time. (Some decorative acoustic ceiling tiles would greatly reduce the noise.) There were menu additions as well as a limited but decent selection of value wines. We decided on the Shrimp Mango Avocado Tower and a Shrimp Caesar salad and a bottle of Villa Antinori. The Shrimp Mango Avocado salad is one of the best salads we have ever had. Really. Blueberry, strawberry, arugula, candied pecans, feta cheese topped with a limoncello dressing and aged balsamic with a few grilled shrimp. Was hoping for more shrimp, but the salad is very filling. The interplay of the various flavors was very tasty and the wine was a good paring. The Shrimp Caesar salad was also very good. I loved the anchovie and dijon forward flavors with just the right amount of garlic. The homemade croutons with just the right flavor and crunch. The pace was perfect. Server (manager?) was attentive but not overbearing. We had a nice relaxing and delicious light lunch. Exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be back to try the pizza and some desserts.

    I typically never leave negative reviews because I know how difficult customer service and the…read morerestaurant industry can be. We all have bad days, and I truly understand that. However, after witnessing how my elderly father and his group of friends were treated during lunch on Wednesday afternoon, I felt compelled to share this as constructive feedback. My father and several of his friends, all gentlemen in their 70s, 80s, and 90s, met for lunch. There was some confusion about the final size of the party. Initially, they thought there would be six people, but as more friends arrived, the total ended up being eight or nine. One of the gentlemen immediately apologized for the mistake. I completely understand that changing table arrangements can be frustrating. However, what upset me was the way the hostess handled the situation. The first group of gentlemen had already been seated when additional members of their party arrived. Rather than simply moving them to a larger table, the hostess appeared visibly annoyed and began squeezing more and more chairs around the small round table they were already sitting at, repeatedly reminding them that they had said six people. She rolled her eyes, rushed them along, and spoke to them in a curt manner that made these older gentlemen seem like an inconvenience rather than valued guests. What made the interaction particularly confusing was that the dining room on that side of the restaurant was largely empty at the time, aside from people coming in for takeout slices. From my perspective, there appeared to be plenty of room to comfortably accommodate everyone, which made the frustration and lack of patience all the more surprising. As I dropped my father off, I witnessed this interaction myself. I was honestly shocked by how little grace and patience were shown. When the hostess later laughed it off to me and remarked that "they didn't know how many people there were," I simply replied that mistakes happen and that these are older gentlemen who deserved patience and kindness. Before leaving, I even asked that they please take good care of my father and his friends. When my father returned home, I asked how the lunch went. He mentioned that while the server did her job, she and the hostess were both rather rude throughout the experience. I wasn't present for the entire meal, so I can't speak to every interaction, but I can speak to what I personally witnessed, and it broke my heart. If you have an elderly parent or loved one, you understand why this upset me so much. But honestly, this isn't even about age. No one should be made to feel belittled or like a burden. My father taught me to respect my elders, and I was disappointed to see so little respect shown in return. The reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because the food itself was enjoyed, and thankfully my dad's friends have a wonderful sense of humor. By the end of the day, they were actually laughing together about how mean the ladies had been. But that doesn't change the fact that kindness and patience are just as much a part of hospitality as the food itself. This review is meant as constructive criticism. Service is hard, and everyone can have an off day, but I hope management takes this as an opportunity to remind staff that a little patience and compassion go a long way. For the record, I watched these gentlemen arrive, and there was no complaining, arguing, or rude behavior from them whatsoever, just an honest mistake about the headcount. People remember how you make them feel, and unfortunately, that is what will stay with me most about this visit.

It wasn't showing up on my account. I called the restaurant and they were able to find and confirm. I don't know if it's an Open Table glitch. They were so accommodating upon arrival when our party went from 9 people to 7. The staff was amazing and on top of everything. We ordered apps off the dining room menu but they let us order large pizzas instead of the 12" ones. We had calamari and bacon wrapped shrimp. I love that they offer the calamari in both fried and grilled. I was outvoted on the grilled but I have to say that the squid was perfectly cooked. Not chewy or fishy at all. Very tender. The breading was light and not greasy at all. The bacon wrapped shrimp were interesting. The shrimp were huge. They were drenched in BBQ sauce. I thought it was ok but I'm not sure about the flavor combo. We ordered a large plain and a large pepperoni. I thought the plain was delicious. The dough was good and not too much flop. The sauce was a bit sweet, which I like. The only issue is that the cheese and sauce didn't stick to the dough so it slid off while cutting. Overall, I think they did a great job with a large group during weekday lunch.

I tend to enjoy tomato based sauces that are not too sweetened with sugar since diabetes is on the rise. I also prefer freshly made food, especially pizzas or lasagnes--the way my mom used to make meals fresh out of the oven back in the eighties. The atmosphere is okay: I have gone there from time to time if I had nothing made at home, and was hungry right after grocery shopping next door. The ice cream place next door has a more congenial and pleasant atmosphere. Perhaps this place could be benefit from having a variety of sauces or fresher options on the menu, and less gruffer voice tones when customers are waiting for their meals. It felt like more of a pizza making factory than a place to sit and enjoy a delicious set of dishes. Their mozzarella sticks were really good, though, and a few waiters: kind and well mannered. But: their atmosphere and cuisine might reflect the times in which we live: rushed and in a jiffy like a quickie.
