Old-world Italian charm with a “don’t rush me, I’m being cooked with love attitude” is what NOLA’s Osteria & Pizza in Garwood, NJ gives its customers. We started with handmade rice balls bathed in vodka sauce, crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and absolutely NOT here to play. Shrimp Alla NOLA’s accompanied, delivering bold, soulful flavor while the wings showed range: buffalo bringing the heat, lemon pepper bringing the ‘tude! Then came the pizza….a beautiful commitment issue solved perfectly: half sausage, half pepperoni cups. Thin, flavorful and balanced like it went to therapy. EVERY bite understood the assignment. Just when we thought we were done, dessert said “not so fast!” Nutella Zeppoli Bombs…warm homemade Zeppolis stuffed with Nutella; arrived and ended ALL remaining

I’ve heard about Nola‘s for years and finally got to try it out this weekend. I tried calling a few hours before I planned to go to make a reservation, but no one answered the phone. Upon showing up at 6 pm, I asked a waitress if there was a possibility of two people eating there as a walk-in and after checking, she let us sit down, but said that we would have to leave by 7:30. This was fine- I never got clarity on how to make a reservation for the future though. The food was pretty good. I asked the waitress for a recommendation about what most people order and I was told the Grandma pie called the Nonna I believe. I also asked for a recommendation between the chicken Parm and the chicken Milanese and I was directed toward the Milanese. The chicken Milanese was delicious with a great sala

If you haven't been to Nolas run don't walk! Take it from a hard to please foodie this place is not to be missed. It is one of my go to spots. One that I never get sick of because their always coming up with something new to try. Some of my favorites are the shrimp nola that is cooked to perfection and has just the right amount of heat. The special pasta fagioli with cherry peppers and sausage is amazing. The homemade mozzarella sticks melt in your mouth. The arugula salad as simple as it sounds with fresh lemon and pecorino romano slivers is anything but simple. I tried the ceasar salad with hot honey chicken for the first time last week and can't stop thinking about it. Having owned 2 pizzerias of my own, when it comes to pizza you have to go some to make me say wow and this place defi

Talk about delicious pizza. What an assorted selection of pizzas. So many choices we couldn't decide. I loved the thin and crispy, but there werethicker styles. The rest of the menu looked great. I I can't wait to try it! Our new go-to place.

From the service to the food , everything was top notch. The pizza is beyond delicious and the pasta fagioli with cherry peppers is not to be missed. I also loved the mozzarella sticks and shrimp beeps. The Caesar salad with (I think it was hot honey chicken cutlet) was so good ! I absolutely recommend Nola’s and can’t wait to go again soon.
