I am consistently amazed by my experiences at this restaurant, and I regret not reviewing La Cambusa sooner. This little Italian gem may not be widely recognized, but it certainly deserves to be. The kitchen has that classic Italian vibe, with fresh pasta and many dishes made from scratch. They do an excellent job of acknowledging their regular customers, making you feel right at home as if you're dining at a dear friend's house. The Pork Chop Milanese is outstanding and makes it hard to choose anything else when ordering. The Lobster Ravioli is also exceptional, and every sauce and pasta tastes like it was just prepared moments ago. The meatballs, salads, and appetizers are equally delightf...
The service was excellent; our waiter was prompt and attentive without rushing us. The chef even came to our table to ask if it was okay to substitute a pork chop with a pork loin since they had run out. I rated the experience four stars mainly because the ambiance was a bit hit or miss, with TVs at the bar near the dining area, and we dealt with a fire alarm that went off during our meal. However, if you're not seeking a romantic atmosphere, it's perfectly fine. They also offer covered outdoor dining when the weather is nice.
I returned this evening and was greeted by the manager (or whatever their title is). However, I noticed something concerning: while they require all guests to wear ma...
I've never had a bad dish or cocktail at La Cambusa; they never disappoint! It's my favorite little hidden gem. I can't understand why it's not packed every day. My favorite spot is sitting at the bar; it's small, so the bartender always pays attention to you. Whether at a table or the bar, the service is consistently excellent. I absolutely love their Fig Martini and Espresso Martini; they are my top specialty cocktails. The calamari is simply the best—sautéed with cherry peppers, giving it just the right kick and richness. I’m thrilled they offer gluten-free pasta! Yay! I usually don’t order veal, but I shared the veal saltimbocca with my dad, and it was so delicious that I would definitel...
I tried the filet mignon, and it was absolutely delicious and flavorful—definitely my favorite dish, although it’s offered as a special. This place is a must-try! I was thoroughly impressed with the customer service at Cambusa. They accommodated my request to place a phone order before the kitchen closed at 9 p.m. so I could dine in. The cherry on top is their pet-friendly outdoor dining!
From the fresh bread, to the calamari appetizer, to the mouthwatering lobster ravioli with delightful sauce for my main course, my Thursday evening was made truly special. I highly recommend this restaurant—definitely two thumbs up from me!

We visited Pesaro for the first time for anniversary dinner. This is a cute place with great food and service. We had great Calimari for an appetizer. The shrimp and veal meat dishes were great and we cut off with a piece of Limoncello cake. The owner and the waitress were so polite and friendly. Looks like there's an outdoor warmer day.
Had dinner there last week to catch up with an old friend. Best penne in VODKA SAUCE I have ever had! If you are looking for authentic Italian in NJ this is the spot!
Delicious food and cocktails, outstanding service, a cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff make this one of our top choices.
