Reviews for Triestina Restaurant in Cranford, NJ

The food was absolutely delicious. A wonderful family restaurant.

I hate leaving bad reviews. It's interesting the folks that gave them 5 and I get the people that gave a 1. I'm just gonna say... "I've had better!" Read more

Food here is always good and nice portions for what you pay for. It's a BYOB location and they will have ice buckets as well. ... Good for family or if your having a party they have a room. Been here numerous time and each time was worth the trip. Familyowned business. Read more

Just ordered takeout from this venue, for $20.95 my Chicken Française contained one potato croquette, 2 tiny pieces of chicken... and a handful of shredded vegetables. Way too expensive for the amount of food received, still starving. Read more

We came to this restaurant due to the high reviews in the area. However was not pleased ? We ordered take out. Once we opened... the containers, It appeared the food was not filled to the top. Asked for Fra Diavlo sauce and did not get it. Food notseasoned. I then called back to advise the restaurant and spoke with Benny, who stated that this is how there restaurant servestheir food. Will not be going back. Poor food quality and poor customer service. Read more

We had gone to their sister restaurant, Il Goccino, in Madison, and enjoyed an excellent meal there; they told us their father... was the chef at another location, in Cranford, and two or three weeks later we went there for an early dinner. The owners (thefather and uncle of the young men running the Madison location) were friendly, and seemed happy that we had taken their sons?recommendation. The premises, like the place in Madison, was very clean, and the food was amazing. The presentation wasexcellent and tasted as good as it looked. my girlfriend lives in New York City, and she has dined at many Italian restaurantsthere; she is very picky about food, a restaurant?s cleanliness, and food presentation- and she told me (and the owners) thattheir two places were the best she had ever dined in In New Jersey, and among the best restaurants she has ever eaten atanywhere. Triestina is now our favorite local restaurant. Prices are quite reasonable, and well worth every penny. I have spentas much or more in other places and not walked away as satisfied at having had a great meal as we had here. We saw people comein after we arrived, and most, if not all, seemed to be regulars. In fact, we overheard one man at a nearby table telling hisson and (apparently) his nephew that he has been coming to Triestina for years, and boasting about how good the food is. Ialmost envy him for his having enjoyed dining there for years, as I only discovered it now, despite having lived in the area formany years! All in all, it?s a wonderful place, and I just made reservations for Valentines Day. Obviously, I highly recommendit. Read more

We visited this restaurant last week and were pleasantly impressed by the atmosphere. Friendly and caring staff, male hostess... was very nice, smiling and very professional. The food was delicious, real Italian taste. I would recommend this place to visit.The prices are reasonable. Read more

Went their today for a repast. Fried calamari was on point best I've had with a light batter and not rubbery. Very delicious. I... had the chicken franchise it was good but a little salty for my taste. The veal parmigiana was a hit seemed everybody loved it.They also had salmon and it was also very good. Nice place but the floors are very uneven when you walk in so be careful gettingaround in the restaurant. Overall was a nice place to eat and would go back to try more meals...A+ Read more
