Restaurants near Gil Putnam Memorial Park

We had an amazing experience at 618. If I were to define it I would simply say… impeccable service! Elvin was extensively knowledgeable with all drinks, food and deserts. He knew exactly when to approach us for refills and when it was time for our next course. I like how attentive the staff was on clearing the tables and how we were greeted entering the restaurant and as we left. Now to the good part, the FOOD! Everything was exquisite. I would definitely recommend the meatballs as the small plate (appetizer) very savory and tender. We also had the short rib raviolis it was delicious as well but the meatballs were hard to beat. We had the skirt steak as one of the entrees and WOW that first bite was mouthwatering, perfectly cooked, crunchy yet tender and flavorful (you have to eat it with the sauces they provide on the side). We also had the halibut, it was so beautiful plated with the sweet potato pure and rice but it was a tad dry for my liking however the pure did help with that. The drinks were also beautiful presented, not too sweet and not watery if you know what I mean. For the desert we got the Chunky Monkey Brownie Sunday, surprisingly the banana ice cream was the perfect combo! Overall this is a place I would highly recommend to all of my friends and family.

What an incredible night at La Cipollina! This was our first time visiting and it was such an amazing night. Every bite was better than the last and I cannot wait to come try out some new things. The owner even stopped by our table a few times and took us on a little tour of the restaurant! Antonio and Liz were always there when we needed them and provided great service too. A great family owned business that we will definitely be bringing family and friends back to.

Very inviting & charming atmosphere. Excellent service & menu selection. Well proportioned meals done to perfection & reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning soon.

Fantastic meal all around. Roman gnocchi is always a must, the artichoke appetizer was delicious as well. The pizzas and pasta speak for themselves and are some of the best in NJ. The pistachio tiramisu was a great finish to an amazing meal. When my wife and I are celebrating special occasions, we always find ourselves at La Lupa. Keep up the great work.

My experience at Agripas street was absolutely exceptional. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The staff were incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail was perfect throughout the meal. The food was nothing short of spectacular. I highly recommend the Lamb shank it was cooked to absolute perfection. Tender, juicy, and packed with incredible flavor, it’s easily one of the lamb shanks I’ve ever had. The sides and appetizers were equally impressive, with creative flavors that perfectly complemented the main courses. What truly stood out was the attention to detail and the genuine passion for creating an extraordinary dining experience. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a night out, Agripas street delivers an experience that is well worth it. I can’t wait to return and try more from their incredible menu. Highly recommended!”
