The pizza was excellent! However there is a lack of protein based entrees. The pasta itself was cooked perfectly yet the Alfredo sauce was broken with an overwhelming shallot/onion flavor profile. With all of that said, only for the pizza will I be back! read more

What a cute place! I just LOVE it. Great food, fantastic staff and the owner even came by multiple times to make sure we had a great experience. Couple of things: I can't understand why some meatheads criticize this place due to "excessive noise". If you know anything about being Italian, it's ALL about the noise! Reminded me of my grandmas basement (the sound of people having a good time that is...) It's enjoyable to have a meal in a vibrant place. If you want peace and quiet...ORDER TAKE OUT!!! You can tell the ingredients are top notch. All of our food was on point and worth it. Nice job Rosella!!! I'll be back! read more

The food is good, not amazing as many reviews say but I'm a New Yorker so I'm possibly biased. The seating can be a little bit tight in season. Staff is unbelievably amazing. The atmosphere is cozy and I am told by locals that the pizza used to be really really great and now it's "good" in my opinion. There is one thing in which they are making I think a huge mistake. And I tell you this with love and I mean, I'm telling the staff and particularly the beautiful and talented Owner. The constant interruption of clapping and yelling of happy birthday is very TGIF. It does not suit your cozy, inviting charming atmosphere. It appears that everyone goes to have this done to them because the last time I was there, and I've just moved to town recently, it happened four times in one night the guess I was entertaining eventually started, rolling their eyes and covering their ears There must be a better way to celebrate each birthday that feels special to that person without screaming and yelling and interrupting this tiny room of people who are dining with you each night. It's worth problem-solving and coming up with a better solution. That charming Italian later could simply come up to the table and softly speak Italian to the table and several sentences and deliver your dessert with a candle in it, and everyone will be charmed. It's unique, he can speak Italian, he's handsome... And that would be incredibly memorable. ‍ Keep up the great work and please consider doing a simple reversion of your artichoke hearts. Less is more. Italian food is my most favorite favorite food. I lived in Italy and I've lived in New York and I think you can deliver an even better quality of food by fine-tuning your main recipes. You want this New Yorker to rave about your food so that out-of-towners Who are used to the best come to you because of all of your raving reviews that are of New York City standards as well as Italy. And I might mention that the other restaurants you own are at the same standard as a great NEW YORK eatery. Pound your chicken paper, thin for your Parmesan, you're lasagna noodles should be thinner than thin... But you know this you understand Italian food. Go for it I want you to be the best in town so that I can eat there once a week!! read more

For a group of two, we got one pizza (prosciutto and arugula) and two pastas (the pesto and the rigatoni vodka). The pizza was great and the crust was delicious. The Rigatoni vodka was absolutely perfect in every way! The pesto pasta was missing something and was a bit disappointing. Overall solid food and service, I'd come back for the pizza and rigatoni! Definitely recommend reservations. read more

The risotto was so soft and creamy! The pizza had a very thin, delicious crust and the toppings were great, I loved the little zap of salt the olive gave. The waiter was friendly and charming. Overall this place is delicious and the appearance of the restaurant really takes you to Italy. I have 4 stars because unfortunately its a bit more expensive than what I would've expected! read more

Piazzi - carpiossa pizza - Italian Near Me - Frenchtown, New Jersey

We have had Piazzi on our list of places to try for many months and finally following a photo shoot in the area we finally crossed their threshold for our first dinning experience and Jenn ensured it was a 5 star raving review. Upon our arrival we were shown to a option of tables as it was just 4pm. While reviewing the menu we asked for water to start and once Jenn came over to meet and greet we discussed food options across the menu as we were sort of all over the place with ideas. Once speaking with Jenn we landed on what turned out to be an exceptional food experience starting with the zuppa di cozza, the mussels were terrific and their sauce had nice flavor with a kick. We took home the left over sauce as it was that good and it will get used this week. Next we shared the Capricciosa pizza, note, I'm not a huge pizza eater any more, has to be specialty, and something really workth while and this checked that box for me. So fresh, so flavorful.... took 2 slices home as we had one more dish coming... we shared their papppardelle. What blew us away was the finely shopped ingredients, hence nearly every forkful had a delicate mix of meat and vegatables. The pasta was on the al dante side which I like but my wife prefers more cooked, not droopy, not soggy. Regardless she loved the dish. See our dish photos. We'll be back. read more

Nice ambiance However, No salad with your meal. Bread is $6! Chicken parmigiana was delicious thus the two stars but the portion was small and I missed the crispy edges of the chicken here. The 3 ravioli and 2 meatballs were good but stingy and not enough to fill a child. And the food was very expensive. This was disappointing. read more

The food is as authentic as it gets. They brought the Chef here from Italy! The pizza is amazing and the spaghetti pomodoro is the best I've ever had. Service is very good, not amazing. They have outdoor seating and on a nice day eating outside is very cozy. read more

Best Italian in town. The food and ambiance are always uplifting. Being a vegetarian, I have several delicious options. The pasta is made to perfection, always. The staff is friendly and attentive. Great for special occasions. read more

We went right as they opened with no reservation and were the only ones seated. We were given a very small table and I laughed inside when the waitress was bringing food and looks at me as to say where do you want me to put all this food? There were a couple other encounters the waitress was not the sharpest, but the food more than made up for it. The Chicken Milanese was exceptional as well as the Bella Italia Pizza. We look forward to visiting again and working our way through the menu. I will make a reservation moving forward, even if it is a time that doesn't need one. read more

Got a tip from a local merchant to try Piazzi. Piazzi is what you hope an Italian restaurant to be. Full of noisy, happy patrons. The food is authentic Sicilian and absolutely delicious. The staff is super friendly and accomodating. Everything was firing on all cylinders. Enjoy! read more

It's loud. That's my only gripe. However, this food is chef's kiss! This is THE best Italian food that I've had outside of Italy. The staff and owner are all really kind and accommodating. Try the rigatoni with vodka sauce. The pizza is exceptional as well. read more

I agree with all the reviews, this is wonderful Italian food and have to shout out to the service... they are a special :) they are happy, joyful and you feel like family as soon as you enter. we where a table of 8 and no lack of any appropriately needed service. Oh the food was wonderful. read more

We had a wonderful dinner! Started with fennel salad and meatball appetizer. Husband had pepperoni pizza and I had the papparadelle with short ribs excellent! We had wine from a local vineyard Beneduce a bottle of red called shotgun. Very good and ended with a lemon sorbet. Every thing was delicious. Highly recommend. Also recommend the vineyard which is nearby. Grazie Rosella!! read more

When it's the only game in town, you gotta play. Well, we didn't really have to but we did. Started off good because they fit us in without a reservation on a Saturday at peak dinner service. Like another Yelper said, they pack so many tables in there that I'm hitting people's backs with my size 18 butt & knocking over people's little lampshades with my gut. The tables were so close together you could hear who was on a first date and what that husband & wife were arguing about. Anyway, because there's so many tables the small space gets loud. Irrationally loud. Our waiter comes & tells us they use flour imported from Italy and their pasta is made on premises. Sounds impressive right? We weren't impressed. My Pane was not a dipping-in-evoo type bread. It was hard & crispy. Crisp pizza crust is what it was. My meatballs were mid. Definitely not Razza's. My friend enjoyed her Margherita pie. But my other friend who got the rigatoni left hungry. That $22 portion was skimpy. Overall, just not a good experience and the food didn't make brownie points for it. The bathroom was nice though. read more

My selection was fine, a slightly al dente & acceptable. Our very pleasant server came by after a time noticing my wife had barely touched her dish. He asked if there was something wrong & she said it was too al dente for her. (I tried it & agreed). He apologized profusely and said no problem, it won't take long, he would have a new one made. She thanked him saying she appreciated that & it was nice of him. When he returned noticeably later (I had finished my meal) we wondered if it was someone else's dish, most of the pasta noodles were split, the sauce had thickened. It didn't resemble the dish first served. The noodles and sauce had that look of leftovers. We figured it must have been microwaved and stirred haphazardly. The waiter had stealthily dropped it off and didn't return until we had asked for the check. In his defense I think he tried to be accommodating, the kitchen is responsible for what comes out of it & obviously didn't care about our experience. It specifically says al dente on the menu, but if a paying customer sends it back their preference should be accommodated. A young lady wrapped it up to go for us. The waiter shook my wife's hand as if to acknowledge we would not be returning. We won't, and the box with leftovers, it landed in the convenient rubbish bins down the street near where we parked. On the plus side all the front of the house staff were warm and welcoming. read more

excellent food, all of it excellent service, love to KIM, yes to noise but c'mon its a party, dont let a little bother you. bring some good reds and enjoy the parm, bolognese or any rigi dish read more

Ordered takeout from Piazzi after hearing a lot of great things by word of mouth. The margherita pizza was bland and the sauce didn't have much flavor. Chicken milanese was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Pappardelle bolognese was good but felt that it could benefit from more sauce. Pesto and vodka sauces were good. Sauce on the ravioli was the best out of them all. Pasta had a nice bite to it and cooked well. Overall, we thought it was too pricey with the relatively small portion sizes. We were also suprised that they didn't provide bread with our order. read more

Food was pretty good and the space is cute but our dinner was ruined by the excessive noise in the restaurant. We decided to cut our meal short because we could not enjoy our food, hear one another talk and were constantly yelling. Here is a case where a restaurant may have the right food, chef, menu and cute location but it completely misses the mark because of the ambience. I should have listened to others who told us to skip Piazzi because of the bad environment. Sorry- there are better choices for overall experience. And fix your web site! read more

Omg amazing!! Wow Piazzi has left me speechless. I have been waiting for a good homemade italian restaurant around here and this is it. We had no problem finishing every single dish. The portions are good size and prices are a steal for the quality of the food. The service was amazing. All the staff were kind and so sweet. They gave great recommendations to what to get. We can't wait to go back! The ambiance was amazing, it felt like you were at your nona's house. It's such a small little place where it feels like you are part of the family. Even though it is on the smaller side it is definitely big enough so you're not sitting on top of people. read more

Food was delicious, absolutely amazing! Service was impeccable. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food and service. Seated outside between the 2 establishments that are owned by the same person was a nice addition. Hands on owner who was paying visits to each table of diners added to our 5 star experience. read more

Had a wonderful experience!!! The food was amazing and service was exceptional . Cozy environment.

We've been to Piazzi a few times. We love it. The food is always so delicious and we enjoy the cozy atmosphere. We've been fortunate to have Andrea care of us; he's an exceptional person. Makes us feel right at home. He is always happy to speak Italian with me. I'm practicing for our upcoming trip to Italy. read more

I came in with my parents, we were delighted they were open on a Monday! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable! The restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous, with outside seating as well. We got the arancini, Caesar salad, margarita pizza, pesto burrata pasta, and tiramisu. Absolutely delicious. Our server Andrea was amazing! read more

The place is way over crowded and busy...... Just like the Cafe next door (Same owner) I did place a pizza take out order just to see how the food was and it was mediocre at best. The place is tacky looking on the exterior and doesn't blend into the local area, it belongs in a strip mall or pad site. TIP! Go across the street to Daniels or Napoli pizza for a good dinner without rubbing arms and legs in a "cozy" overcrowded over priced pizzeria. This place was hit and destroyed by an out of control truck years ago and hopefully history doesn't repeat itself while over occupied. read more

This is a perfect place to go if you're looking for great food. For appetizers we got the Pane and Traditional Meatballs, both were great and not too heavy. For our entrees the portions were perfect and the dishes were amazing. For dessert we got the Tiramisu which was a delicious way to finish our meal. Our server Karim was friendly and outgoing. read more

Piazzi - Pasta Special and Rigatoni a la Vodka - Italian Near Me - Frenchtown, New Jersey

Just had another great meal at Piazzi. Did not have reservations but friendly/professional owner managed to seat us in lovely outdoor patio. Started with arancini (rice balls) and fennel salad. I enjoyed Rigatoni Vodka- cooked al dente, sauce was perfect. Friend enjoyed a margherita pizza- that smells and tastes like ones we've had in Italy. Our own wine, a beautiful late spring night dining outdoors and attentive service. Will definitely be back. read more

Excellent, 10/10....everything on the menu is incredible. Pesto pasta is amazing. You need to make a reservation and is byob. The owner is excellent and really cares about the customer experience. read more

Amazing service, amazing food, amazing ambiance!!! What an outstanding little restaurant. Went with our family for my birthday and the service was fabulous. The food was delicious and we can't wait to come back!! read more

I have been to PiAzzi close to a dozen times since it opened and all I see is happy people enjoying delicious food and smiling when they leave. The menu offers a great selection of authentic home-style Italian dishes. That said, the coffee rubbed filet is the best steak in Frenchtown for certain. And it's BYOB!!! read more

The food is excellent. They are using quality ingredients from the appetizers to the desert. The menu is small that being a plus for us. Even the espresso was excellent. Our waiter Mike was a great server. The atmosphere is very cozy and it's a joy to see this restaurant open on a Monday when most are closed. My family will frequent Piazzi. We recommend you try them and I will trust you'll be satisfied. John Brunetto Milford NJ / Hancock NY read more

Second time for this spot. Walked away disappointed. Had a reservation for 4:30. The RESY app for reservations did not work so we called for a reservation. We got there about 10 min early, the restaurant was empty. We were seated basically in the kitchen. My wife sat in the hallway between the kitchen and the main dining area. It was hot, uncomfortable and the table was small. We were finished by 5:20. The restaurant was still very empty at 5:20. Not sure why we needed to sit in front of the pizza oven. The portions were small and expensive. The food was good but, there are plenty of other places you can go for less money, better quality and better surroundings. read more

The place is amazing , great service .. I highly recommend this Place .. Best italian food !!!

PiAzzi is simply exceptional. After seeing so many rave reviews, I had to experience it for myself, and it exceeded every expectation. The food is phenomenal--some of the best I've ever had in this area. The decor and ambiance create the perfect setting, and the staff's warmth and helpful guidance made the experience even better. I can't wait to go back! read more

Food was delicious!! Staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. It was so good we came back a second time in the same week! It was an overall tremendous experience and I'd highly recommend Piazzi if you're looking for a fun night and a great meal! read more

Fresh, homemade & delicious. Staff was incredible and welcoming. Can't wait to go back

Excited to try a new restaurant after waiting so long for it to open. Every table full. Very friendly staff. Very loud because of close spacing on the tables. Now for the food. Paid for bread, five pieces of pizza bread, not exciting. Salad, good, could have added more then two small tomatoes when that is the key ingredient. Pasta with eggplant, too much pepper, had to cool down with sips of water between bites. Pasta with veal ragu, very good. Limoncello pie, and Affogato round out the meal. Overall, I would try again when they get the kinks out. read more

The service was excellent, our waiter made some great suggestions of what to order , which we ordered and he was absolutely right .
