11 Best Italian Restaurants in Asbury Park

“Judy & Harry's is an unbelievable experience. Nick & Suzana provide memorable, thoughtful, and detailed service. The dishes are delicious and unique–especially the mezzaluna and lumache pastas. Nick crafts balanced cocktails, is a great conversationalist, and is a bonafide professional. Suzana articulates each dish eloquently and anticipates anything that is needed, without being asked. Thank you Michael, from the St. Laurent hotel, for accommodating me with a reservation tonight. I'm so happy that I stopped in, and can't wait to return!“

“I’ve been going to Jimmy’s for years. I’ve never had a bad meal or service. I usually get the chicken parm or eggplant parm and they are always delicious. I decided to get the chicken piccata and it was incredibly good. The chicken was so juicy. Don’t skip dessert! Never a bad time there.“

“We have been here before, so maybe the chef was just having an off night but the chicken was terrible. The sauces were amazing but all four chicken dishes that were ordered, the chicken was tough, chewy and overcooked. We mentioned it to the waiter and he removed them from the bill so we appreciated that tremendously, other than the chicken, everything was amazing. Mashed potatoes, vegetables, appetizer, lemoncello cake for dessert were superb. We will definitely give Belmonte's another try! “

“During our short stay in the area, we chose to dine here as it was one of the few restaurants open on a Monday. We had an excellent meal, with starter and main course which were delicious. The staff were friendly, helpful and very caring towards my elderly mother. Thank you in particular to Adam for his help with organising the taxi for us .“

“We've been to Flavia's several times and have always enjoyed our experience. The service is fast and attentive and has it has a super cute modern Italian interior. We always try something new each time we go and haven't been disappointed yet. This time, we had the carbonara spaghetti and pesto fettuccine and it was perfectly al dente and delicious! I can't wait to come back to try the amaretto cheesecake!“

“While we were too early to try anything off the menu, I wanted to thank this business for opening their doors (and bathroom!) to the people at the Pride Parade. The gentleman at the counter was sunny and kind and let everyone in. Most other businesses did not. We already have this place earmarked for our dinner after our next beach day. Thank you for being excellent humans.“

“Delicious food and friendly service!“

“Excellent service by Don. We were fortunate to be seated in front corner window which gave us privacy. Every dish ordered was excellent, including dessert. The back room includes a brick oven. Worth the 5 stars I posted!“

“the crew is hilarious and they tell yall anything funny LOL“

“If you are looking to have a small wedding or event I highly recommend. I just got married on Saturday with a headcount of 58 people and I was absolutely blown away with how much "bang for your buck" you get at this venue with an absolutely breath-taking view of the ocean. In addition to all this, the food was insane and our guests were absolutely raving about how good it was. Liz Gloss and her team do an amazing job making you feel special, taken care of, and truly waited on my husband and I hand and foot. The entire staff that day was incredible and it really added to it being so special.“

“Fabulous atmosphere, our food was perfection. We had margarita, pizza, eggplant, Parm, spaghetti, meatball. San Marzano sauce was fabulous. Would definitely come back again thank you Carly you were a great waitress.“
