"I know of four or five great Italian restaurants in the Lawrence-Pennington-Princeton area, and this one is one of the very best. These outstanding meals feature a high degree of creativity and originality and once experienced, you will keep returning."

"Located in a quiet nook in Lawrenceville borough, this quaint restaurant is teemed with personal, friendly service. The owners and the chef made a point to stop by and make sure everything was perfect. It was. Food was delicious. They were completely accommodating. We had reservations for indoors but allowed us to move to a perfect outdoor location on this warm, clear night. Definitely will go back again and hope no one else finds out about it;) Perfect byob restaurant."

"My meal was bland, dad & sister's was overcooked, mom's was good. Service was slow! The kitchen couldn't handle the amount of tables. It took well over an hour to get our meals. Then the food wasn't even worth the wait."

"The food and service were very good. All of the staff are friendly and very helpful. BUt the restaurant was small and the kitchen even smaller so when all of the out-door tables were sat within 20 minutes I knew there would be a bit of a delay for food. Maybe not the best choice for a friday night but my wife and I will go back mid-week as there are many other things on the menu we have to try."

"Enjoyed the restaurant and the food very much. Service was excellent and the outdoor terrace eating was beautiful. If it was a bit warmer out, would have dined outside. Recommend as a local favorite and something to drive a bit for."

"Vidalia consistently has an excetional menu with specials that Chef Salvatore uses to expand your food pallette. The only downside is the small size, but if you are lucky enough to get a reservation, you won't mind."

"Unlike my first visit which was outstanding, this visit was mediocre. The appetizer was great. The salads were okay. My companion had to send her entree back because the veal was under cooked. The server returned with another veal dish, but it was not the one that she had originally ordered. On my first visit here last year I had the Veal Parmigiana. It was outstanding. This time, the veal was very chewy, and it seemed like it was prepared without breading. I had asked if I could substitute something for the pasta based on dietary restrictions. I was allowed to substitute spinach, but was charged $ 8.00 for an average sized portion."

Food was poor!"

"My boyfriend and I love this place. We go once every two weeks or so. The food and service is wonderful. It's actually a home turned into a restaurant so it's very small, but it gives off a cozy feel. I recommend a reservation.
The only con I can think of is that because the dining room is so small, tables are closer together;so you can hear other table's conversations quiet well. This restaurant sometimes brings quiet a pretentious crowd, but don't let the "stuffy" side conversations ruin this great meal!"

"We were looking for a place half way between South and North Jersey since we were meeting up with friends. We found Vidalia on the Internet taking a gamble. What a great find. The six of us all loved our meals. The service was exceptional. We will definitely return."
