12 Best Italian Restaurants in Asbury Park

“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.“

“The food was great. My family met at Belmonte as a party of 8, had a variety of apps/entrees/ desserts and everything was delicious. Minor complaint towards the cappuccino as it had no foam and was a big on the strong side, but the Lemoncello cake more than made up for it. While a bit pricey, the fact it is a byob more than makes up for it and the portions are generous. The only complaint I have is that there were only 2 young waiters working the front at the time for the restaurant with no additional help. The kid who was serving our table did a good job taking our order and didnt get anything wrong, but after each course it took until after the next course was brought out before our table was cleared. ie: we had empty bread baskets and plates when the apps were brought out, empty app plates when the food was brought out and empty dinner plates when dessert was brought out. It got to the point where our table started using a nearby table to put our plates on. Beyond this easily correctable issue tho, the food is great, dessert was delicious, atmosphere is cozy and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I see no reason we won't be back here at some point in the future.“

“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.“

“Took my daughters for dinner on a Sat night Oct 18th. We sat outside. Our waitress was amazing. She was always near by if we needed anything. She also suggested and off menu cocktail that was to die for. It had milk or cream in it which i normally don't like but it was YUMMY. She had long dark beautiful curls and she made our experience great.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Food is fantastic! Lots of artisan creations on super delicious bread! We are not vegan or even vegetarian but grab a bite here everytime we are in Asbury Park. Never disappointed!“

“Naya at Ralph's in Asbury Boardwalk is wonderful. I have brought my special needs camp there for the last 2 years and she has been patient and kind to everyone in our group. It will be an annual trip for us after the Silverball Museum from now on. Congratulations on running a great business. Five stars“
