Came with my boyfriend and we loved it. We had oysters first. They were awesome, ice cold, and fresh tasting. I had the "boil" with a half pound of mussels and a half pound of head on shrimp. (Comes in the bag they steam it in!) Tasty, the corn was sweet and buttery, seafood was fresh. It's wonderfully messy so they give you a thick bib, gloves, and a huge wet wipe (not one of those tiny squares that cleans one fingernail lol...I got both hands, folded it and had a clean wipe for my face.) I took half my food home. He had a fried fish platter with fries, and you could tell the fryer was fresh. So crispy and light tasting. Took half home, too. It was super fresh, so you can take half home and not worry about dinner! This place has good seafood, and if your gluten free you can have one of the boils. I recommend and come with an appetite! We were in a hurry, so sorry, no pictures, next time!

We ordered catering for a work celebration for 180 people. The amount of food we received for the estimated attendees was great, even with folks taking heaping plates! I can’t tell you how many people raved about the food, telling me that it was the best we’ve had at a staff party. The amount of folks who got second plates spoke for itself! Also, I had quite a few people who specifically wanted me to remind them of the name of the restaurant because they want to order food for themselves. They were very accommodating to different diets- all of the food was gluten and nut free, and they had vegan dishes to choose from. I have a feeling I’ll be contacting Neguess again!

I am Guten free and I was able to order hamburger without gluten bread, baked chicken without the gluten bread.The chef cooks the food just as I want it. This Applebee's on Morris Ave in Union is the best place to eat. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the waiters and waitresses were magnificent.

Had dinner with a friend here during a weeknight. We were seated immediately with our reservation which wasn't needed as the restaurant was not full. our server was excellent as my friend has dietary restrictions on gluten and dairy. When asked, if the waiter didn't know the answer he made sure to ask the chef. we both had the ahi tuna which was served in large portions and done rare just right. It was accompanied by string beans which were crisp and not overdone. I would definitely consider Tutto Bene the next time Im in the area.

Came here randomly driving past it. Great diner. Jim the server/bartender was awesome. I have celiac and there aren’t many of any other diners that can accommodate that. Which I’m sure is especially hard in a diner restaurant. Jim swore they could make GF orders and ensure no cross contamination. He said he would go in the kitchen and personally oversee the prep. Which I’m pretty sure he did. I actually waited two days to see if he was wrong. But I didn’t get sick or anything which absolutely confirms they can/did make GF food. Also, they have a small but good sized bar. I normally wouldn’t care about the bar. But the town I live in practically has no bars and no diners. So I will probably be back. Even though it’s about 30m away. It’s one of those diners you would actually eat dinner in. Not just breakfast options. That might only make sense to me but it’s a good thing.

Wonderful local pizzeria, making their own dough and bread in house. I did not try the pizza, but the folks I ate with did, and they said it was tremendous. It certainly looked delicious! Very nice crust, fresh mozzarella, generous amount of basil and olive oil for the margherita pie. We got the antipasti for 4 and it was a very generous amount of food, nice quality for the cured meats and cheeses. My gluten free penne alla vodka was quite tasty as well, with a lot of sauce! They also make pesto and pesto cream sauces, which aren't on the menu, as well as a gluten free pizza, which is pretty good (crust is a little tough). Service was very friendly. Will be returning for sure.
