Best Pre-Theatre Restaurants in Perth Amboy

First time here. Staff was friendly & helpful. Our party of five started with the calamari fritti (lightly fried, very tender) & the Fig Salad - both excellent. Bread was disappointing - just little rolls that were overbaked & dry. Entrees - Shrimp & Calamari Fra Diavolo, Wild Mushroom Farfalle, & Mahi Livornese - all delicious. Dessert - Creme brulée was sooo creamy, Gelato also very good. We will be back. And our server, Chet, was very friendly and solicitous - great job.

Great dinner - Have the veal .. it was the best we ever had !!!

The Wagyu ribeye and the Jamon Iberico De Bellota were two items I have never had, they were both incredible. The steak comes out rare with a 500 degree salt block that you cook it on, also a new experience. Very pricey but you get what you pay for. Will be going back.

Love this restaurant! Great food, atmosphere and service. Fav spot before a show at the State Theater!

We had an excellent dinner at La Pergola. The food and service were both great, but what really stood out was how far the maître d’ went to take care of us. My mother-in-law asked if they had prosciutto and melon, but they didn’t have any cantaloupe that evening. He said he would check, and a little while later came back to tell us that he had actually gone to the local Trader Joe’s to buy a cantaloupe just so they could make it for her. It was certainly not necessary, but incredibly thoughtful and very much appreciated. That kind of hospitality really says a lot. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back.
