Best Lunch Restaurants in Linden

From start to finish everything was delicious! My absolute favorite appetizer is the calamari, always have to order extra because everyone fights over it! The fried zucchini chips are perfectly crisp and we enjoyed the zucchini flower appetizer special which was equally delicious! The meatballs were spectacular as always. When it came to the dinner we all had a hard time choosing our entrees because the variety of options were better than the next so we decided on getting all different options to enjoy. The short ribs were tender and juicy a perfect treat on a cold evening accompanied by a wonderful Pinot noir. The branzino was cooked to perfection , light and fresh especially after all the amazing appetizers it was a perfect dinner option! We also thoroughly enjoyed the linguine vongole, a phenomenal classic chicken parmesan and squash ravioli. Although we were quite full, we couldn’t resist the desert menu particularly the churros and irresistible banana bread pudding! We can’t wait to return to this family favorite restaurant! Well worth the trek from Westchester New York !

What a fantastic brunch! The family style is fantastic and all the items we picked were delish!

Pedro was an excellent server! Food was incredible as always especially the calamari, meatballs, stuffed mushrooms and crab cakes and salmon!! Ice cream sandwich and cannoli bread pudding topped off an amazing birthday meal!! Oh and the bread is delicious too as well as the cocktails! This restaurant is over an hour away for us but we continue to return! Top notch!

Great service and great food! We love Garlic Rose!

Everything was amazing, the service, the food was delicious and the restaurant is fun and well decorated. My only suggestion is that the live music start a little later. The musician was very good, but the music was too loud, our reservation was at 6:15pm
