Via Sposito

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!

I can’t say enough about this gem in Old bridge!! Delicious, fresh, hot amazing entrees! Pizza was excellent, rice balls are crisp and so tasty, Our waitress was wonderful, extremely attentive, very personable and friendly! Makes you feel like family… old school Italian! Atmosphere was casual but very modern vibes. Felt like i was in NYC. My husband and I will be back for sure!

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.

I love this place! Everything I've ever had has been great. I've been here many times for the food, but I was especially impressed with their customer service. I had an issue with a recent delivery that was not the restaurant's fault, but the staff and even the owner went out of their way to make sure I received the correct order and was fully happy. I love their pizza and go there whenever I can.

We had my Dad’s repass here and it was wonderful. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. My daughter has several food allergies and Dolores was very helpful and accommodated her.

We hosted a wonderful first birthday party for my daughter at Via Sposito's Old Bridge location. Dolores and the rest of the staff were so accommodating and wanted to ensure that everything was perfect for my daughter's special day. The food was excellent as well. We highly recommend Via Sposito for dinner or special events.

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.

This is the best Italian restaurant in New Jersey hands-down. I’ve gone several times with my wife and I always try something new and I am never disappointed. All of the appetizers are great and big portions are even bigger you wind up taking food home every time grade 5 everyone is so nice highly recommend for anyone looking for great authentic Italian food.

We ordered for the Super Bowl this past weekend, and I cant say enough how amazing not only the staff was, but the food was even better! Delores was extremely friendly from placing the order all the way to picking it up at the restaurant. Definitely a must try for anyone in the area!!

Incredible pizza, and a friendly staff. We always try and stop here when we’re nearby for lunch.

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.

Always enjoy my experience here. Food is excellent. One of our favorite pizzas in the area.

Great workers, great food, great service.
We were served by an awesome server, Chloe.
Highly recommend

I went for my mothers birthday and I couldn’t have picked a better place. The food was phenomenal, service was impeccable and the ambience felt like home. I would recommend this place a thousand times over.

The swordfish was absolutely fantastic. Crusted very nicely, very moist in the best way.

The potatoes were also crusted in a way I’ve never tasted in America !

I also got a margarita pie.
It could quite possibly be the best I ever tried.

The staff was super duper friendly!
New favorite place!

(Ps. Sorry for the photo, I had to eat)

The food was excellent. The service was fast and excellent as well.
The restaurant is very warm and comfortable inside. We really enjoyed everything. We will be returning.

The food is delicious! The best fresh mozzarella I have ever tasted. Big thanks to Chef!
Will definitely come back.

We love this restaurant. The food is outstanding and the servers are wonderful! Great place to go with friends and family!

We love this spot for dinner! The food and service were great. The portions are generous and food is so fresh. It’s a BYOB which is great but they also offer a line of wine, which I love the RED sangria. Our server Amanda was on point through our whole visit. We will definitely be going back again.

Very good pizza. Nice thin crust. White clam sauce was good too. Not greasy sauce. Just right.
