"This place is like a hidden gem. They nail all the Italian-American classics, with my favorite being the shrimp parmesan, but they also offer upscale specialties that you’d find in the best restaurants, all at surprisingly reasonable prices. The waiting staff is professional and friendly, and the atmosphere is comfortable. Make sure to make reservations on weekends, as it’s become increasingly popular! You can’t miss the roasted calamari (the best I’ve ever had), the mixed grill when it's a special, paella, grilled salmon, sambuca shrimp, orecchiette with sausage, and sautéed broccoli rabe with garlic. They serve a fantastic risotto with various specials (definitely try the mushroom risotto) as well. The desserts and cappuccino are also wonderful—don’t miss the zeppoles! I’ve tried most items on the menu and have never been disappointed; I’m always impressed. The location, where the old Pietro’s used to be (next to the old Blockbuster), is perfect, with plenty of parking. Plus, the new ShopRite wine and liquor store is right next door, so you can easily grab a bottle, especially since A Taste of Italy is BYO! I am a happy customer and visit at least three times a week, giving me plenty of insight into this restaurant compared to others who only pop in occasionally. Thank you, Louis and team! There’s truly nothing of this quality anywhere nearby, especially for the price—it's a no-brainer. I've already hosted three birthday parties here and plan to organize more events. They have a catering menu, which received rave reviews during my daughter’s birthday party and my mother's senior center holiday gathering. Mom's Italian friends were thrilled with the food—veramente delizioso! My family loves this place, and it’s our top choice whenever we go out to eat."
