Located just 15 minutes north of Trenton in Lawrenceville, NJ, this modern spot offers an extensive menu of homemade Italian cuisine. The Appetizers & Soup Nonna's Meatballs: A fantastic mix of ground beef and pork mixed with soaked bread, eggs, pecorino, garlic, and fresh parsley. They’re pan-fried and served in a rich tomato marinara with ricotta and crispy sourdough garlic bread—definitely a highlight. Italian Wedding Soup: A hearty chicken broth with tiny meatballs, spinach, and small pasta. It wasn't bad, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me, and I probably wouldn't order it again. The Entrées Seared Cod & Risotto: The cod was fresh and flaky, paired beautifully with a rich, creamy Parmigiano risotto. It came with a side of broccolini in a scampi sauce that was incredibly tasty. Rigatoni alla Vodka: This came with shallots, prosciutto, crushed tomatoes, basil, garlic, and mozzarella in a creamy pink sauce. While it wasn't a bad dish, I was expecting a bit more depth and flavor from the sauce. Overall, it was a solid experience. The ambiance is attractive, and the restaurant itself is spacious and welcoming. Our meal was $130 aprox. Next time I'm in the area, I’d be hap

I hosted my baby shower at Amalfi’s Kitchen and Bar in September 2025, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Luigi was incredibly helpful during the planning process and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of the event. We had just under 100 guests, and the space was comfortable. The outdoor area was a huge bonus, giving guests a place to get fresh air and creating a beautiful backdrop for photos. The food was a standout, so many of our guests raved about how delicious everything was. On top of that, the staff truly went above and beyond. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure our event felt special. I highly recommend Amalfi’s for lunch, dinner, or hosting an event. It was the perfect setting for such an important day.

Decent food, neglectful service, zero parking. The pizza was delicious. Honestly the best pizza I’ve had on the east coast. The Cajun pasta had barely enough sauce to cover the noodles, but it was tasty and the chicken was good. The eggrolls were interesting and definitely worth a try. Never had anything like them but they were great. There was nowhere to wait so we had to stand awkwardly in the door for a while. We could see plenty of empty tables and a few bar seats so idk why we had to wait so long. The waiter was largely absent. We basically had no water most of the meal. We waited at least 10 min trying to flag him down for a dessert menu. It’s definitely loud and there are sports tvs everywhere which is offputting in a restaurant like this imo. Lighting was alright. Next time we’re getting the pizza to go and avoid all the noise and waiting.

Amalfi’s is a welcoming neighborhood restaurant offering very good food in a warm, comfortable atmosphere. The dining room is inviting without being pretentious, making it an easy choice for a relaxed evening out. With an average cost of about $35–$40 per person, the pricing feels reasonable for the quality of the meal and overall experience. While the food and ambiance were enjoyable, the service was somewhat inconsistent. Our waiter was polite but fairly disengaged. There was no introduction or mention of his name, and after taking our order, he was largely absent. Our meals were delivered by another staff member, and there was little interaction throughout the remainder of the meal. What truly elevated the evening, however, was Odin who was responsible for clearing the tables. He checked in with us multiple times to see if anything needed to be cleared and made a point to wish us a continued enjoyable experience. His attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine warmth stood out and left a lasting impression. He embodied the kind of service that makes guests feel welcomed and valued. Overall, Amalfi’s delivers where it matters most with its food and atmosphere. With more consis

Came here for Thanksgiving Eve & had a great time! Atmosphere is very cozy & inviting, tables were spaced apart nicely so it didn’t feel like you were on top of other folks. We tried the Brussels sprouts as an app & it was fantastic! Their cocktails were delicious as well, bit of an older crowd but def a nice place that I look forward to stopping at again!
