His modern flair mixed with traditional culinary skills has created a whirlwind of praise. You will not see seafood options on the regular menu for one reason; All our Seafood is wild not farm raised and we carry ONLY what is available and offer them as our daily specials.

    I ordered the Calamari for an appetizer and it was very good. I then ordered the Porterhouse steak for 2 and it was plenty. No need for any sauce, the meat was made perfectly and had a lot of flavor. I ordered the Thai chili Brussel sprouts and it was flavorful however there was too much sauce and the sprouts were very small. Overall the food and atmosphere was great and I would recommend.

    The resturant was so cute inside! The food was delicious. My party shared the zucchini blossom appetizer, and I got the Fra Diavolo pasta with shrimp and chicken . It was fabulous, as was the fall margarita. I will be returning for sure!

    From beginning to end the dining experience was excellent. We were greeted by Robert and led to a private table. Our servers were attentive and described all specials and menu's perfectly. Prices of specials were not mentioned. We didn't have a problem with that, but other diners may. Every selection we chose, and there were 4 adults, were a hit!! The flavor of each dish kept you coming back for more. From appetizers, salad, entree's and desserts we walked out full and happy. Will definitely return to this Gem!!

    Love the feel of the dining room. You feel like you're in a funky place in Hoboken or the Village rather than suburban Jersey. The menu & wine never disappoints.

    LuNello's never disappoints me. Whenever I bring a new guest to the restaurant, they always compliment the menu and their choice. The real testament to someone's pleasure with their dining experience is when they take some of their choices home with them to enjoy. Thank you to the team at LuNello's for making each visit an enjoyable one.
