Another great dinner at Catherine Lombardi's. The service was excellent; the food and drinks were delicious. We had tickets for a show, and without feeling rushed, we could dine, have coffee, and still be early for the show. They even held onto my leftovers in the fridge for me to pick up after the show! One of our top restaurant choices!

• Italian • Old Bridge
Booked 131 times today
We had a fantastic experience at Elizabeth's in Old Bridge, and a huge part of that was thanks to our waiter, Tom. From the moment we sat down, he was absolutely amazing—attentive, friendly, and incredibly welcoming. He timed everything perfectly and made sure our table was well taken care of from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the whipped ricotta and a crisp caesar salad, both of which were perfect beginnings to the meal. For our main courses, the chicken parm and chicken Milanese were phenomenal—fresh, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. We finished the night with the tiramisu, which was the ultimate sweet ending. The combination of top-tier food and Tom's outstanding hospitality made for an unforgettable dinner. We will definitely be back, and we’ll definitely be asking to sit in Tom's section! Highly recommend.

    Our table was waiting for us when we arrived for our reservation. Adalina was our server. She was friendly, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. She was patient and did not rush us at all. It was a wonderful experience
