I was passing through NJ and decided to stay at the Clarion Hotel. Searched online and found Lisa's Cucina was located across from the hotel and went there for an early dinner. Nice cozy atmosphere and the staff was very friendly.
Ordered chicken parm dinner and it came with garlic knots, salad and pasta. I truly enjoyed it from the first bite the chicken was soft, moist and delicious. Great garlic know too, BTW.
Waitress was very pleasant and placed my order promptly. When I needed to refill my drink she got it immediately. If I ever pass through (even if not staying over) I definitely will go a bit out of my way to dine there again.
The female owner (with black hair) is rude, never appreciative of the paying customers who keep her in business & has a bad attitude. I can understand if the food was out of this world, but its mediocre at best. I've finally made the decision to not go to this pizzeria anymore. I'll take my business elsewhere, where other owners are much more gracious and appreciate the patronage.. It's too bad, bc her husband is much more nice & welcoming. But they lost a customer.
We had a 85th birthday dinner/party for my mom. Can't say enough about how everyone enjoyed the food. They are still raving about the appetizers. The staff really made sure that every detail was taken care of. The service was exceptional and the vibe of the restaurant was just perfect for my big Italian family. We thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for making my mom's birthday extra special!
I had to write a review, as this is a hidden and unexpected gem! Went for my Dad's birthday last night and every meal was excellent. Veal marsala, chicken piccata and the star of the show, Veal Osso Buco. This is not normally the type of restaurant that serves it or I would even order it, but it was perfect. The meat fell off the bone, the sauce was silky and full of mushrooms and the serving size left enough for my lunch today.
Our server was attentive and helpful, she didn't rush us and knew the menu well. The front counter staff were very welcoming upon arrival and so personable upon leaving. I highly recommend a dinner here - order the Osso Buco if they have it!
We came into town on business, and after a 12 hr travel day, the last thing we wanted was canned fare from a chain. Lisa's was recommended by hotel staff, and it was great!
2 of the 3 of us have eaten plenty of Jersey and Pa food, and this was really good! From the greating when we arrived, the awesome waitress with a ton of patience, and the food, this was a great experience! Great job, Y'all!!
