Laboratorio Kitchen

Came here in search of the best chicken parm in New Jersey and was not disappointed. The chicken parm was delicious, crispy, and huge. It could have used a bit more sauce on top, but the pasta on the side more than made up for it with a bright, garlicky, and very flavorful tomato sauce. We also split a branzino, which was light and very tasty. The portion was on the smaller side, so I would definitely recommend ordering a side dish if you are not also getting the chicken parm. To start, we had the burrata with honey, which was fantastic. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate lava cake, which was also very good. Service was impressively fast. We were in and out in about an hour. The restaurant was somewhat loud, but we did not mind the lively atmosphere. Overall, I really enjoyed the mea

I’ve been a devoted fan of Laboratorio Kitchen since my first visit four years ago, and it never disappoints! From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed into a warm, inviting atmosphere that sets the perfect stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Chef James has a remarkable talent for elevating classic dishes to new heights with his own unique style. Each plate is a beautiful interpretation of familiar flavors, thoughtfully crafted to surprise and delight. From savory entrées to delectable desserts, every bite reflects his passion and creativity, making each meal truly memorable. The service is equally exceptional. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, always eager to enhance your dining experience. They make you feel right at home while ensuring that everythi

We came for a celebration dinner & were able to take advantage of their BYOB policy! They offered to put our wine on ice the moment we sat which was great. I have a severe dairy allergy & Im vegan which I informed the waiter(s) about, and they were able to make me a special dish with hen of the woods mushroom, haricot vert, cherry tomatoes, spinach, & rigatoni! My partner had the lemon crab pasta. We both enjoyed our food thoroughly! They offered a berry platter for dessert and took off the cream, but forgot the dairy carmel base which did almost poison me, but the waiter took it off the bill so I appreciated that since it did almost poison me lol. Overall besides that pretty nice atmosphere & service & food!

This Italian restaurant was a fantastic find! One of the most unique and convenient aspects was their wine ordering system—your selection is delivered from a place next door within minutes, making the experience seamless. The food was excellent across the board. The mussels appetizer was incredibly flavorful, and the fish I ordered was the best I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. Service was quick, friendly, and informative, making sure we understood everything about the menu. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Laboratorio Kitchen is so spectacular that I don't know where to begin. Start to finish, it's just perfection and joy. Last night we had the fig and Gorgonzola crostini and the tuna crudo for starters, linguini with crab and the scallop dish as our mains. My God. What I find truly special about this gem is their pasta dishes are artisanal. You're staring at this generous portion of pasta saying to yourself, "okay, I'll have some but obviously I can't finish it all because it's pasta and it will feel heavy."...but instead you end up wanting to devour every last bite. Such fresh ingredients, everything sitting on the plate was placed with intention and care. Bravo to the chef. Great service, Sam at the front of house is a doll. The perfect spot to hit before a show at the Wellmont. Run don'
