About Metro North

Metro North Princeton has been providing its customers with delicious Italian dishes and American classics in Princeton for over 20 years.

Located at 378 Alexander St, Princeton, NJ 08540, Metro North operates as an italian restaurant serving Princeton in New Jersey. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Google also lists it under bar & grill, restaurant, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.

Italian restaurants, sub shops, calzone counters and Italian delis sit next to the pizzerias on this site because most of them bake pizza too, often from the same dough. Full-service Italian restaurants take reservations for dinner, add a tip line for table service (15-20% is customary) and usually run a cheaper lunch menu on weekdays. Sub and sandwich shops are counter-order and quick, with sizes by the inch or in half and whole lengths. Calzones and strombolis are priced like a medium pizza and are large enough to share. Italian delis and bakeries sell by weight and by the piece, and many close mid-afternoon.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. Typical hours are 12–9 pm. It is closed on Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Metro North at (609) 454-3121; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, metrorestaurantgroup.com.

Customers rate it 4.4 out of 5 on Google across 721 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded italian restaurants in Princeton.

Princeton is in New Jersey, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in Princeton peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Pork Chop Scarpariello & Manchego Salad + Chocolate Lava Cake + JOANN. It’s been a while since our last visit, but when you walk in and spot your FAVORITE waitress, and she can ramble off our selection for dinner, before we’re even seated, then you know you’ve found your home! AND she reminded me about the hot peppers…a bit too much kick for us. The entree was cooked to Perfection. The crumbled sausage was caramelized, along with potato wedges and gravy with this WOW smokiness flavor….we were full, but couldn’t stop soaking up the gravy with our bread. I’ve been known to lick the plate…but with a full house surrounding us…I took leftovers home. We will be back! Please Thank EVERYONE for making our dinner get together feel like a celebration of the tastebuds!!

The ambiance inside is dark and crowded. The service was friendly and timely. Most of the food that we ordered was pretty good and well prepared, particularly the Eggplant Lasagna and the Short Rib Gnocchi. The Blue Cheese Salad and Grilled Pear Salad were both fresh and flavorful. I would not, however, recommend the Bacon Wrapped Scallops. Given the other restaurants in the area, I would not highly recommend.

Good location but food is average. They had different menu on valentines day which they didn’t mention on their website. We selected that place as they didn’t have any prefix menu on valentines day but they had different menu with only one or two veggie appetizers. Server was okay with services but not good at knowing what pasta can be Vegetarian and all, he wasn’t helpful with recommendations and explaining what can be vegetarian. Drinks are great but food was not amazing as expected. I like their eggplant tower only out of 6 orders we placed. Eggplant tower was deep fried, well presented dish.

Great restaurant with a variety of options. It has an old school Italian feel, and the appetizers were great. Highly recommend the bang bang shrimp A++. Chicken wings were also flavorful and well done. Great value for a Princeton restaurant, both food and alcohol. My old fashioned was delicious. We will be back for entres.
