You must try the Gnocchi with Vodka Sauce and Grilled Chicken. It's not on the menu, but it's a must. So is the Garlic Mozzerella Bread!

Nunzio's Pizzeria

Great pizza, but not so friendly counter service. Its a trade off, but I think the pizza is worth it!
Portuguese - BBQ
Clark BBQ
1419 Raritan Rd
Clark, NJ 07066
Phone: (732) 396-4600
I'm Portugese, so I know my Portguese food. Clark BBQ is hands down the best place around. No need to visit Algarve or Valencia in Elizabeth, or others that have popped up in Union County. Don't waste your time...Clark BBQ rocks (I highly recommend their Picadinho!)
Gaucho's
615 South Avenue, Westfield, NJ
Phone: (908) 928-0080

Gaucho's opened this past summer and is a little hidden gem. Its Brazillian and has great Rodizio (non stop meat on a skewer!). Great little salad bar too.
Thai
House of Thai Cuisine
319 Us-22, Green Brook, NJ
Phone: (732) 968-0085
This is by far the BEST Thai Food in the state, possible the country. It's outstanding - forget Splash of Thai or Siam Thai...this place blows them all away! Try the Pnang Curry with Chicken or Beef Basil!
