Mulberry Street Restaurant, Woodbridge

Don't be fooled by the name—Mulberry Street is actually located on Rahway Avenue in Woodbridge. There's nothing else this place is hiding, though, from its flat-screen TVs to its spacious dining room lined with exposed brick. Even if the chefs here wanted to keep their food a secret, they'd find it a difficult task. That's what happens when your menu includes thin-crust pizzas, chicken and shrimp rigatoni, 12-ounce ribeye steaks, and other Italian-American staples done to perfection. An extensive list of wines hailing from Italy, France, California, and around the world complement the feasts, as do coffees spiked with chocolate-flavored liqueur.
