    Me & Tommy’s is the best! If you want an intimate and amazing Italian dinner in the Belleville area, Me & Tommy’s is the spot! Their Orange Crush Martini is so delish! This is a small business with friendly and outstanding service. I go here with friends and family every chance I get! The food is so good and the servers are uber friendly and helpful and the portions will surprise you with how big they are. If you want good Italian food at very reasonable prices, try Me & Tommy’s for a great night out. Ps. Try their “Chicago Coffee” if you aren’t driving, it’s too good. Cheers!

    Actually I would say 3.5 stars. The food is good, even better if you like vodka sauce, which my friends tell me is excellent. The service is good and the servers are friendly. You should know that if your group is 7 people or more you will receive a limited menu, with no salad option and half the menu choices a party of 4 will have. You must be served family style with a minimum 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, no choice. There were 8 of us, we selected 3 appetizers and 3 entrees which were portioned for 8 people. The portions are large, we could have had 2 entrées and all had plenty. They will add a 20% tip which we would pay anyway. Our tab was $114 per couple. Not crazy, but for that price I don’t want to have to choose my dinner by committee. Also, the restaurant is small, so I don’t see why this policy is necessary. We were the only party of more than 4.

    Came here with a group of 6 adults and 4 kids (10 and under) for my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday. Staff were very responsive when planning the dinner. Food was delicious, especially the eggplant parm and every dish with vodka sauce. Reasonably priced and big portions. Brought our own wine for $20/bottle corkage fee. Best Italian meal I can remember having in a very long time.

    Quaint Italian restaurant with a "short" menu that is cooked to order. I loved the vibe at this place. Not only was the food awesome, but the attention to detail is captivating. The staff loves their eatery, they wear their pride on their sleeve, and wait almost with baited breath to hear your responses. A friend and my first visit and they surprised us with a free appetizer, which they're known for, the rice ball. New to us but piping hot, dripping in sauce, and utterly delicious. Plan your visit, we planned perfectly as it got pretty busy after we were seated. No struggle at that point with parking. Price was a bit more expensive than the typical chain but so worth it, We look forward to our next visit.🖤

    Stopped in for wine. The server was super kind and gave me a complimentary appetizer since it was my first time there. The vodka sauce was awesome! Great tiny bar.

    This place is totally awesome, we found it on accident traveling to Belleville for tattoos. This place is soo good, portions are huge drinks are huge you get what you pay for! Out Waitor Justin recommended great dishes and were glad we listened to him, very personable kind and is great at his job. Thank you for making this birthday experience for my friends and I memorable! Will be returning.

    I loved this restaurant 💖 I went with my husband for our anniversary and I was shocked of what an amazing and delicious food . My man knows I love Italian food and he found perfection. The place is small and peaceful. The prices are pretty reasonable and staff is friendly. Our waiter was so nice, gave us two smothered rice balls to try and it was delicious, they serve sufficient food. And last but not least I had an appetizer and I was full so I didn’t want to order an entree, so my man ordered a plate but it had shrimp and I’m allergic to it but wanted to try the pasta, so the waiter split it one with shrimp and the other one no shrimp so I could eat it . Thanks for the service I will be back soon.

    There is a small part of me that doesn't want the world to know of this hidden gem, but how in the world would this amazing place get the credit it deserves. We had a decent sized party come in on a Monday, everything was perfect from start to finish. I grew up Italian in North Jersey, which my definition, makes me an expert of Italian-American food. The vodka sauce is so good you are going to finish your food and take it to go! We are now trying to figure out what we are going to get to cater our Christmas party, (hopefully we decide on time) "GET THE CHICKEN SAVOY!!!!!!"

    This place is the cutest ever. Open the door like your entering someone's home. Having a home cooked Italian meal in a very cozy at home dinning room. So relaxing. Best vodka sauce I've had and I've had many. Servers are on point. They are not scared to suggest and help you choose your meal. Which is perfect for me since i never know what i want. Drinks are also very good. Kids split a meal and had left overs for 2 days. They do not skimp on portions. Take home containers are brought to you through your meal so you can keep your table clear. All food is fresh and made to order. I'm looking foward to going back.

    Love this place! It’s small and you need reservations but so we’ll worth it!! Been here 5 times and the food has always been A+. The staff are personable and attentive!

    I ordered catering the morning of New Year's Eve. My group wanted smothered rice balls and penne vodka. I wanted penne marinara. We ordered all three. The marinara sauce is terrific; I ate too much. Although vodka sauce isn't my favorite, I enjoyed it, too. Then, I tried the rice balls for the first time. I wondered what could be flavorful about them. In the 80's, I had eaten rice cakes, the food equivalent of Styrofoam. But I have added Me and Tommy's smothered rice balls to my comfort food list.

    I had a birthday lunch catered by this wonderful establishment. Both the follow up and the food exceeded my expectations. My family and I will definitely be recommending this place and plan to be repeated customers.

    I went there last night with my aunt and the food was AMAZING! The rice balls are to die for! The bartender and waitress were friendly and accommodating as I arrived way early for a 6:15 reservation so I spent some time sitting at the small bar they have there. The restaurant is very small but we never felt crowded nor involved in other tables conversations.

    I’ve heard of Me & Tommy for awhile. Never went until last night. BEST italian in the area hands down. Absolutely make reservations. My Portuguese fiancé is very picky with shrimp…we had shrimp 🍤 appetizer, and it blew his socks off. He isn’t a big fan of italian but this place blew his MIND!!

    Best Italian food in the state! For anything good you will wait not a fast food prepped joint. Everything here I have had was made fresh with tlc they cut no corners here. If you want true genuine nj/ny Italian food this is the place. Also great desserts and drinks. Def a spot to bring your date or family. Staff is friendly, and accommodating 5 stars all the way!!

    An amazing birthday celebration at Me & Tommy's. The atmosphere was spectacular, the service excellent and the chef....WOW! Highly recommend but better be hungry, they are very generous! 👍👍

  • 5/5 Tara A. 2 years ago on Google
    The food here is amazing and so is the service. This restaurant is a hidden gem. It is small and not fancy, it is like your visiting your family for Super Delicious homemade food...Some of my favorites are the rice balls, penne vodka, hotsy totsy shrimp, the eggplant stack, and the stuffed mushrooms...Please trust me when I say you will not be disappointed.

    We were surprised by this place ! It’s a very small and cozy place , all platters including the appetizer are HUGE! We ordered the mussels, mushrooms and eggplants appetizers, DIVINE! But too much for 3 people.

    Nice menu and I love that their drinks are strong and reasonably priced on the winter menu, although now its spring and needs an update! I don’t usually like margaritas but the peach strawberry was also great.

    We had our food catered yesterday for my daughter’s birthday and everything was delicious! Everyone was raving about the food. The smothered rice balls were amazing. Justin was so nice when placing my order. Will be visiting again soon!
