Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Hightstown

We had a wonderful experience to celebrate a birthday. The service was excellent, and the ambience was perfect for the event. The food was delicious, and the presentation was also good. Everything is a bit overpriced, especially for the area, but there was enough for leftovers, so I can’t complain too much. It was a great evening!

I enjoyed a wonderful birthday lunch at Cafe Aldo. We shared a Caesar salad(I would have liked them to split it in the kitchen). I had excellent Veal Saltimbocca and my friend had sweet potato gnocchis. I had indicated on the reservation that it was a birthday lunch and at the end of the meal two biscotti arrived with the best sparkler I’ve ever seen in a restaurant!

Amazing food. Unpretentious. Value for money. Great decor. Wonderful experience. After dining at overhyped expensive restaurants in Philly and NYC, Enoterra in Princeton is a welcome respite. Wonderful food and flavors, beautifully cooked dishes served without the need of long explanations, exotic ingredients, flowers, or tweezers. Just well cooked, well presented yummy food. And friendly and impeccable service to boot. And not bad in price. We came out of a prix fixe valentines dinner with drinks at less than $300 including tax and tip. And they sent us home with a complimentary olive loaf! Would love to come back for happy hour.

Fantastic meal all around. Roman gnocchi is always a must, the artichoke appetizer was delicious as well. The pizzas and pasta speak for themselves and are some of the best in NJ. The pistachio tiramisu was a great finish to an amazing meal. When my wife and I are celebrating special occasions, we always find ourselves at La Lupa. Keep up the great work.

Went a day early to celebrate Valentine’s Day- the food was excellent, from appetizer to dessert. The wait staff was knowledgeable and attentive.
