Justin's Ristorante II

Excellent service and food is always top notch. Such a local treasure.

We wanted old school Italian and Justin's is our go to. We ordered pasta fagioli, Penne Vodka with shrimp and Chicken Parm. Not a single thing disappointed.

Haven't been here in quite a while. Still a BYOB!
We started with the stuffed artichoke. I have to say it was one of the softest artichokes I have had. Perfectly cooked. Sauce was almost like a francese, very light, good for dipping the bread after.
Linguine with clams was very good.
Veal Parm was OK. Unfortunately the Veal was a tiny bit overcooked. Little tough to cut but the actual overall taste was good.
Nice selection of desserts!
Service was excellent. Staff was very friendly and suggested a few things to other guests.
Definitely worth a try!!

This place is a hidden gem. It was 12 women, glamour girls.. and the staff managed us with careful, friendly care. It's my 2nd visit. Both times the food was cooked to perfection. And the $prices were reasonable.

One of our family BYOB go-to's! Justins' service is always so wonderful. Their servers are very attentative and helpful. The prices are more than reasonable, especially for the quality you're getting. The meal always begins with some delicious olives in a flavorful olive oil & herb mixture, with warm bread, as well. The menu has classic italian dishes as well as their own innovative dishes. Their specials always pack a flavorful punch and are always worth trying. It's evident they're based off of seasonal fresh ingredients, which is always a plus.
For appetizer, we both had Zuppa de Clams in white sauce, which are always a great choice as they are flavorful and a great sized portion. Their house salad that they give in between courses is my literal favorite. Their house vinegarette is simple but so addicting. Top it with some fresh grated cheese, Yes, please!
For dinner, my fiance had their Grilled Rack of Veal special with was cooked perfectly medium rare and so tender. He cleaned the plate! I got their Branzino special with risotto and broccoli rabe in a brandy lobster sauce. It was phenomenal, and the fish was cooked to perfection. The veal dishes are always so delicious, and their Chicken Justin is a must have, as well. For dessert, we had Pistachio Cheesecake and Tiramisu. Both were light and delicious. Can't wait for next time!!

So I really hate to have to do this because the food isn't bad. But after TWO experiences with bad service I can't hold back anymore. The first time we gave them a pass. It was a busy Friday night. But we went the other day for lunch. There were literally two tables occupied when we arrived. And one person waiting for takeout. We come in. And we sit in the waiting area with the lady getting take out. The waitress comes out and sees us and says "one minute." The goes in the kitchen to come out with a tray for takeout. We think okay now. Nope. She goes in again and comes out about 5 minutes later. Another tray. Still we wait. Then a third time she comes out. Now we have waited about 10 minutes. And she proceeds to ring up the lady and then go back in the kitchen. THEN she comes out and takes us to the table. Now there is another person here the whole time. Walks in and out. Among the tables. Can't seat us? So then we sit. And we get the bread and olives. We order mussels. We ask the waitress when she brings the mussels for more bread for them. She says okay and disappears. We wait about 10 minutes. Eat half the mussels and finally I say how does she not bring the bread for the mussels she knows we are eating. So I walk to the kitchen because that's where the two people serving are. And there she is eating. And he's on the phone. And he says yes? And I ask for the bread and she runs off deeper into the kitchen and he says it's in the oven. I'm thinking is she baking me a new loaf? Of course not. Two minutes later the bread comes to the table. Then I order the fish and ask for vegetables on the side instead of the roast potato. The waiter now says sure. It comes. Potato. By this time I wasn't the least surprised. The food here isn't bad. It's not great but it's tasty for the reasonable price they charge. But getting subpar service like this when there are literally only TWO tables occupied is just inexcusable. As I said when it happened on a Friday night I was going to overlook it. But when it happens at 2 pm on a weekday with no one there it's too much to overlook.

Outstanding family type place tucked away in WoodRidge.
The Specials are where it's at, something always great on there so make sure you check there first.
Place is byob, which is solid.
Nice dessert options as well.

Nice Italian Restaurant where service is impeccable. Food is excellent and you know it's prepared well. Would definitely go back again

We tried their business lunch during weekday and it was really good. I had soup of the day for appetizer and linguine vongole for $16.95 and my husband had bruschetta and veal piacere for $17.95. Both come with coffee and fruits as dessert. Food is excellent and service is very quick. We would be back again and want to try other dishes

Great food and highly recommend any of their dishes for take out or catering family events

excellent tasting food, great service, nice Italian atmosphere. their red sauce was on the thin side when I ate there, that's all. I will return.
