Via Sposito never disappoints! We go here all the time and the food is consistently great. This time we had the chicken parm in vodka sauce—absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. We also tried the American cheesecake for dessert, and it was the perfect sweet ending to the meal.
The place is always packed, which says a lot about how good it is. You can walk in, but I’d definitely recommend calling ahead or making a reservation if you can. One of our favorite local spots—highly recommend!

We had an early dinner tonight to celebrate our parents anniversary and birthday. Even though we we used to live locally, we had never eaten here before and chose it from the reviews. It’s definitely a hidden gem of Old Bridge! The staff was super friendly, accommodating and personable. The food was absolutely delicious! We loved the big tomatoes and cans of Esposito red sauce as decor throughout the restaurant too. My personal favorite was the vodka sauce. I’m very picky but it was the best vodka sauce I’ve ever had. The restaurant is in the smaller side and really echoey, but otherwise very lovely. We unfortunately had a big party of some very rude dining guests behind us and that unfortunately killed the atmosphere for us a bit because we had to yell for our elderly parents to be able to hear us, BUT the staff was so apologetic about it and clearly had their hands full with them, and that wasn’t their fault. As soon as this large family of diners left, the atmosphere became a lot cozier. It’s a shame people like have to ruin the experience for everyone around them, but I would highly recommend Via Sposito and we will definitely be returning in the future!

Recently stopped in here with high expectations, but left feeling pretty disappointed.
The pear salad with grilled chicken was underwhelming and expensive, the eggplant parm was drowning in sauce, and the square pizza was like 80% bread. Prices were also pretty damn expensive ($12 for a slice of cheesecake).
Restaurant front house staff kept apologizing for keeping the door open because apparently the oven gets so hot that it becomes unbearable. We didn’t feel it was too cold, but I guess that depends on the night.
Overall, I think the prices are way overtuned, especially considering the sheer quantity of other Italian places nearby.

I typically don’t review restaurants but the food and service was excellent, making it very hard for me to not comment and put it out there. I ordered a catering service for an at home event—roughly 20 people and let me tell you, my guests and I were pleased with the quality and portions. Viasposito’s did not disappoint. As a first time customer, Anthony the owner was very generous with the portions and assured me the food would be enough for my party of 20–even went out of his way to pack a little extra for us. Our guests all asked where the food came from and I proudly shared the details. No way I am ever cooking for a medium sized event like the one I held—ordering from them again for sure. 10/10 recommend!

3/1/24 I read about Via Sposito having multiple restaurants serving family style dishes and their Pizza ovens are wood and coal fired so we went to the one in Old Bridge, NJ. Our gracious host Dolores is an Sposito who we had the pleasure to talk with.
We started with Zuppa di Mussels,
which was delicious and the sauce to dip the mussels in was so sweet yummy.
Just look at the pictures before and after.
Then my wife ordered the huge Pork Chop with mixed vegetables and potatoes, my wife couldn’t finish her meal.
I ordered a Margarita Pizza with homemade mozzarella and pecorino romano cheese and fresh basil with extra virgin olive oil. On top I added real sliced sweet sausage,outstanding pizza,will definitely order it again together with outstanding service see the before and after pictures. Well worth the trip.

The food was really very good. But then I bit down on a piece of plastic – Ouch! I ordered the veggie soup and as described it was a perfect herbal blend. Unfortunately, I bit down on something hard and it turned out to be a piece of plastic. Please be more careful when preparing orders!

I recently returned to Via Sposito in Old Bridge, NJ, for the first time since taking my family here for New Year’s dinner about four years ago, and I’m so glad I did! The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly. A special shoutout to Anthony, who personally came over to our table and made us feel so welcomed—he’s such an awesome guy! The restaurant was also spotless, and the ambiance really added to the overall experience. It was a great afternoon lunch, and I’ll definitely be back again soon! Maybe this week to try the legendary pizza

Had a great experience for our first time here! They are known for their pizza but everything on the menu sounded delicious. Dolores recommended the grandma pie and typically we are thin crust kind of people, but this pie was delicious. It expected it to be dense and doughy, but it wasn’t. The sauce was amazing- I would go back just for that! The eggplant rolatini and calamari are definite go to for appetizers. This place did not disappoint and would 100% go back again. Plus they are BYOB and there’s a liquor store in the plaza.

Deliciousness!!!! From beginning to end with great service accompanied by excellent Italian-American fare. Owners are always present and strive to make sure the customer gets everything and anything. Wide range of options and fresh food, made-to-order, allow for people of all ages and dietary preferences to dine together. Everyone can find something fresh and delicious.This is a sign of a GREAT restaurant who knows their audience. What to try? EVERYTHING!!! BYOB, not pricey and all portions will be large-enough to take home.
Lastly, and I LOVED this part, our female server wrapped our food. Yes, that’s right! When we asked for containers they weren’t just thrown at us (like seems to be the norm almost everywhere in this post-COVID hiding under-the-bed world). This place gets it! If you’re from NY/NJ this will be your routine Go-To.
