Big C’s Italian Grill Deli and Catering — Restaurant in Plainfield

After decades of being married, my wife (D) and I just celebrated a very special wedding anniversary this past weekend. We have done all of the special celebrations, but this year, D just wanted to stay home, no restaurant, just home.

So rather than just leaving it uneventful, I stopped in to see Clemente (C) and ask if he could make a special meal for us. C offered several suggestions and D picked from what was offered.

C made us a delicious shrimp appetizer, a lovely antipasto plate, and tasty chicken parmesan with linguini and garlic bread. It was delicious! He packaged it for us so it was easy to serve and reheat if necessary.

D said that it was so much better than going out to a restaurant, and one of the most memorable anniversary dinners!

The ingredients that C uses are first class and prepared with thought and care. The meal was VERY special!

C is not just a cook, he is a chef and has gone through culinary training in Italy and an apprenticeship in Europe. His food reflects his training and the respect he has for his food and his customers.

We could go on, but we suggest that you check and see for...

The owner had the cook start making the food when he noticed my platter wasn't ready. I then had to wait extra time to have my order finished and what I got was certainly not worth the money. I paid a total of $22.12 for pasta filled with grease and oil so much so that it spilled all over the bag and stained my dining table. On top of that I asked for shrimp and only had 5 shrimps in the pasta. The pasta even tasted mediocre and I was expecting more of sweet flavors in the dish which weren't there. I liked it better when business was being done in the food truck because at least the owner was cooking instead of hiring others to cook the food while he manages the front. I was not pleased with my experience at all and I'm currently looking for ways to get a refund mainly because of the...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolute Gem in Scotch Plains!

Big C’s Italian Grill is hands down one of the best spots in town! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and the service is always on point.

The food? Outstanding. Every dish I’ve tried is packed with flavor, made with fresh ingredients, and cooked to perfection. Their pasta is rich and authentic, the chicken parm is out of this world, and don’t even get me started on their garlic bread — addictive!

Whether you’re dining in with family or grabbing takeout, Big C’s delivers consistent quality every time. It’s clear they put love into everything they do. This place has easily become a regular go-to for me....
