Restaurants near Carteret Shopping Center

Came in for dinner and drinks with friends. We ordered the fried calamari and the lollipop lambchops. We will be back in future!

Del Porto is truly a hidden gem. I know the restaurant well and visited Manolo's many times in that space. The food is excellent and the service was very professional. The portions are large and the prices are on the higher side, but as you know, you get what you pay for! The drinks are excellent as well. I was really excited when I heard that the owners of Del Porto are from the same family that owns La Foccacia and Fiorino in Summit NJ. Both are great restaurants and Del Porto is similar to both of them - perhaps a little more business casual with a great bar. Highly recommend trying it out and checking out Elizabeth!!

Great experience, service and ambiance. I appreciate the accommodations and will be back again!

We live in Staten Island which has so many Italian restaurants but our favorite is Mulberry Street in Woodbridge. Chef Paul makes so many excellent dishes. Some of our favorites are Beef Bolognese, Veal Sorrrentino & Shrimp Parm (not on the menu but he will make it). Best app is the mussels in a cream wine sauce and best dessert is his pistachio cheesecake. Reasonably priced food and wines. Great vibe with suttle dinner appropriate music in the background.

We were there for my son’s 12th bday with a few of his friends. Great food, service, comfortable table, and fun atmosphere. We had our own water dispenser that was refilled upon request which came in handy for a table of 12. Kids had a great time. We brought our own cake and had to serve it ourselves, but no biggie. Love D&B!
