Reviews for Catherine Lombardi in New Brunswick, NJ
Was really excited about going here cause it looked really good from the pictures online. Was not impressed at all. The... mozzarella and carrozza was overly fried and barely any cheese stuffed inside. The steak sandwich was good but nothingimpressive to make me want to return. Just an overrated Italian restaurant in a college town. Atmosphere, drinks, and staff wasgood though. Rather just of went to the local pizzeria and got a sandwich for half the price. Read more
Came here for dinner the waiter staff was very attentive and i started off with mozzarella in carozza (Mozzarella & prosciutto... sandwiched between bread & fried) it was very good, Then for the main dish lasagna with meat sauce. It was way too much meatsauce I had to dig to find lasagna in it. Then for dessert creme brulee it was ok the strawberries were fresh and it was good.Overall price wise it was overpriced but it's the location Read more
The restaurant won a bunch of rewards for “Tops in NJ”. No doubt here. Food and service were great and the owner Mark comes... around to check in with you. Michelle was great too. 10 stars if I could. Read more
Ordered a goat cheese and mushroom stuffed ravioli with eggplant parm. The food was extremly average for the price. Egg plant... was undercooked, watery and no flavors. Overall bland and mediocre. Read more
This has been my favorite restaurant for over a decade. My wife and I try to make at least once a month. When we have a craving... for the best Italian food we know of, we sometimes sit at the bar and enjoy the experienced bartenders making us some greatcocktails. When we the bar we usually make a meal of some of the appetizers. Tonite we enjoyed Red Meatballs (the BEST),Mozzarella Encarozza (to die for), Prosciutto de Parma (melts in your mouth) and a 1/2 order of Very Garlic Bread. If you onlydo one you’ve got to enjoy the meatballs. They are superb! No leftovers - look at the photo! You can never go wrong atCatherine Lombardi’s. The two owners, Mark and Francis, are always wandering around the dining room (and bar) making everyonefeel welcome. A truly special place! Read more
Damn good. Delish and decor was well done for the Christmas holiday. I tried to buy one of the jack Daniel's sweaters but... there sadly were not for sale. Definitely recommend. Manager looks like a no nonsense guy but was smooth as butte when wetalked. The type of strong uncle type. Loved his vybe. Read more
Nice atmosphere and great staff. The roast beef sandwich appetizer was amazing . The pork chop was cooked perfectly. I would say... it could have toned down the saltiness of the topping though, but still glad I selected it. The staff was attentive andknowledgeable and handled a party of 10 with ease. Definitely recommend. Read more
Visited Catherine Lombardi for the Miracle Xmas popup experience. Compared to last year at Iplay america this was a thousand... times better. The restaurant and bar were all decorated for Christmas. The food was great, while a little high priced, for theexperience and area I guess I can accept it. The holiday cocktails were great also and souvenir glasses were available topurchase as well. There was more than enough staff always checking on us to ensure my table was good. Overall it was a greatdinner out with family to kick off the holiday season. Parking passes for the lot can be validated for free parking but I wastold they only have a limited amount to give out. They came back and said they were all out but gave me cash to pay for parkingto make up for it. I felt awkward accepting the cash but it was a nice gesture by the restaurant. Read more
