We all know there's a few things you get when you come to the Northeast; a hoggie, Italian food, and 37 gallons of Dunkin Donuts coffee. Last year, the crew found a hidden gem outside of Edison, NJ in Ristorante Venezia. We stumbled on it while aimlessly driving trying to find something in Edison other than industrial park and hotels. We didn't. So we ended up in Woodbridge, a short 10 minutes. It was nothing short of a culinary oasis, or piazza; whatever. This year we all enjoyed appetizers and a few entrees. You can trust anything on special, but the menu has old staples. Complimentary bread, bruchetta, and roasted egg plant tapanade is AMAZING! The fried calamari is great, and a shrimp appetizer special was maybe the most tender shrimp I have ever had. The four cheese ravioli in a pink vodka sauce, and the veal were the winners. Dessert was a ricotta cheese cake that was fluffy and decadent. Edison might not have much, but a short drive to Woodbridge brings you back home to old world style Italian.
