Tony’s Open Kitchen by Scotto — Restaurant in Cranbury Township

Hands down best Italian restaurant we’ve ever been to. Everything we had was outstanding. Even the bread to start came with roasted peppers, capers, and olives. Fritto Misto with the hot peppers was lightly breaded calamari and shrimp, such a delicious twist on a classic appetizer. Their menu features several well known Italian dishes as well as some of their own delightful creations. We had chicken saltimboca and chicken donatella, both absolutely blew us away. We finished with cappuccinos and dessert. Their desserts are imported from Italy. We ordered tiramisu and strawberry cheesecake. Their tiramisu takes the prize. Even better than carmines in the city. The strawberry cheesecake is exactly what you dream of when you crave this dessert. The service was fantastic. Everyone looked like they enjoyed being there and working together. The owner, Tony, is a sweet, humble man who exudes a love for his culture and food. I can’t wait to return and continue making my way around their menu. This place is a MUST TRY! Plus it’s BYOB! You will not be...

Front of house and back of house have zero coordination. Terrible ticket timing, Missing items from order, waiting around for 45 minutes for the kitchen to prepare what we ordered almost 1.5 hours ago looked like an absolute catastrophe back there. Girl on the phone didn’t even know the menu, must have repeated my order 10 times and they still mess it up. Entree’s do not come with pasta, or bread, or salad and at 20$ per entree… two pieces of meat and a measly portion of fried veggies does not justify the price. Food was good( from what we could tell- it was all cold by the time it was all prepared and ready). I know they just opened up, but they won’t make it long operating like this. It’s as if not a single person in the building has ever owned or been involved in a restaurant to even begin to understand the importance of ticket times, order flow and FOH/BOH coordination. Hope they...

Chose this place as the venue for a family member's party after several positive reviews beforehand, as well as having tried out some takeout from this place myself (which was delicious!)

The in person experience was great! Service was very attentive, as well as understanding of a big group, the food came out quickly and consistently, with the fish dishes as a particular standout (my dish being the white wine linguine special with shrimp, scallops, and crab meat), and the person who headed up our reservation did a great job of ensuring that any concerns were taken care of. In particular, it was lovely to realize that instead of having to ask for a separate table for gifts/the cake, they had already anticipated that need!

All in all, a great experience, good food, with standouts being the fish and the cappuccino, as well as a very friendly and accommodating staff. Looking forward...
