★★★★☆ 4.0 David G. · Mar 2026

My girlfriend and I ran in for a quick bite. They were accommodating and were able to do a chicken and shrimp francese for me. My girlfriend ordered the rigatoni bolognese. Wait staff was attentive and although we went early, service was quick. They do fill up quickly on Friday and Saturday nights. They do have a liquor license, but we did not order any wine. They also have a pizzeria which is next on the list 😀

The food here is absolutely amazing! I used to order takeout, but after dining in for the first time, I can’t wait to go back. Everything was delicious and flavorful, and the tiramisu was outstanding! The only downside was the reservation process. I had called ahead, but when I arrived, the front desk staff couldn’t find my information and asked me for all the details again. On top of that, my table wasn’t ready, so I had to wait. Hopefully, this can be improved because the dining experience itself was wonderful.

10/10 this restaurant is exactly what I love about small mom and pop restaurants in New Jersey. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is relaxed and not stuffy. The staff is fantastic, the owner is really warm and welcoming and suggested some dishes that were SO delicious. We’ll definitely be back.

First time here and from Appetizers to the main course everything was fresh and delicious Great spices and flavors Photos speaks for itself The only think I don’t like the way they presented the final bill at the table with a credit card machine and kind of give you an obligation to tip 20% or more So if you spend 150.00 30.00 tip. I don’t make 30.00 an hour At list start @ 10% Server was very nice and very polite and deserved But again restaurants got have a different approach on the tip

I just came from having dinner at Rudy’s. I have been there multiple times and have enjoyed the food however tonight I experienced very bad service. I had a 7;45 reservation and from the moment we sat down we were rushed to place our orders and were constantly interrupted by our waiter if we needed anything else. I even asked if we could have a few minutes to enjoy our sangria before we order dessert and he came back 10 minutes later to say they had to clean the coffee machines so if we wanted coffee we had to place the order. After doing so we were addressed by another individual who told us we had to leave because they had to do a deep cleaning and they were closing. This was 9:20 when their websites ans their door says they are open until 10. I said that to him and he proceeded
