Restaurants near Candlewood Suites Bordentown-Trenton

Always a 10/10 experience never disappoints. The food and service is top notch.

Our Valentine dinner at Lucca was absolutely exceptional! After enjoying perfect Manhattans by the bartender, Sean, at the gorgeous bar, we opted to have dinner in the piano lounge which was bustling and romantic accompanied by beautiful music throughout our evening. We had the amazing cacio e pepe, prepared tableside, and fantastic grilled octopus for starters. The rack of lamb was tender, perfectly medium rare, as ordered, and so delicious with red wine reduction, and, the wild dover sole in lemon sauce, filleted tableside, was superb! We finished the evening off with a to-die-for pear tart which was so so good! We enjoyed our chat with William Burris, Managing Partner, who was on hand to greet all of his customers and made us feel special. This was my third visit to Lucca and each time has been an incredible experience. We feel so fortunate to have such an amazing dining experience so close to home.

Whenever we’ve dined here, my fiancée and I ALWAYS have food to bring home, she has TWO delicious cocktails while I enjoy multiple Shirley temples, and the service we receive is consistently exemplary. Marcello’s is a restaurant that doesn’t make you take out a loan to enjoy finer tasting food. We always get 2 appetizers w/ an entree + 2 cocktails and desert…. We also never finish our plates and have not had a bill exceed $90. Marcello’s is forever a favorite of mine.

We had another fantastic dinner last night! My husband had the filet and absolutely loved it, while the kitchen graciously prepared a grilled chicken dish for me instead (since I can’t eat beef), and it was incredibly flavorful. The drinks were excellent as always, and the mushroom bruschetta—wow, just amazing. We finished with the brownie sundae for dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending. Our waitress, Chrissie, was exceptional as always, making the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Went a day early to celebrate Valentine’s Day- the food was excellent, from appetizer to dessert. The wait staff was knowledgeable and attentive.
