★★★★★ 5.0 Mathew Heart · Dec 2025

Lunello in NJ is a gem and we visited during our Jan 2025 Travel! The valet parking made our visit seamless. We started with the calamari fritti, which was crispy and flavorful. For the main course, the MEDAGLIONE DI VITELLO LUNELLO was tender and rich, and the LINGUINI ALLA VONGOLE with shrimp and chicken was perfectly cooked. Dessert stole the show with an indulgent tiramisu and delicious cannolis. The service was top-notch, and the ambiance was elegant and inviting. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience!

Never disappoints. Lou is absolutely one of the best chefs. Creative, thoughtful & delicious food. Service is second to none. Oscar doesn't miss a beat. It is consistently top notch.

★★★★★ 5.0 Louis Schornstein · Oct 2025

LuNello’s is like a unicorn. There are many places to enjoy fine, dining and excellent service. However, this place sets the bar at the highest level. Everything about it is first class. From the time you were greeted at the door, you feel like extended family. The finest ingredients are used to prepare a gastronomic extravaganza, the likes of which you will rarely experience. Prepare to experience multiple taste bud orgasms. Each course will leave you eager for the next. The cocktails are spirited. The wine list is expansive. Luis could not have taken better care of us if we were blood relatives. Treat yourself today. Make reservations. God Bless America! God Bless Blue and Gold! Remember Everyone Deployed Everyday!

I’ve done many dinners here, between date nights, work dinners, and couples' nights out, and the place never disappoints. It is consistently excellent, which is why it remains a regular stop for us. The Food The menu is solid, but you have to know what to order. The Tuna Pizza is a massive hit and should not be missed as an appetizer; it sounds different but it works perfectly. The Burrata is always fresh, and for an entrée, the Pollo Martini is fantastic. One thing to note (which you'll see in other reviews) is that they have a very long list of daily specials recited by the waiters. Listen closely because some of the best stuff is off-menu. The Vibe & Bar We love starting or ending the night at the bar. The scene is very lively, great for just hanging out and soaking up the vibe. The

★★★★★ 5.0 Kirsten Guinto · Nov 2025

Best restaurant in the area! We got the baked clams, stuffed hot peppers, ravioli to start and they were all 10/10. Me and my fiancee got the pappardelle porcini, bone in shell steak special, and truffle fettuccine special and it was perfection! I had the tiramisu tini for dessert and it was the best. I can't wait to go back!
