12 Best Italian Restaurants in Asbury Park

“Good food and generous portions; service needs a big upgrade- no one greets you at front desk- you have to wait for one of the harried servers. Table not cleaned off after entrees, plates not cleared off promptly and no plates offered for a shared salad and appetizer. Very young staff that needs training to become more professional...“

“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!“

“We loved our dinner at Pasta Volo! You can’t beat the quality of food and speed in which they prepped it. Super friendly staff took time to explain everything on our first visit- big thumbs up from The Fantastic 4!“

“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!“

“Jimmy's Italian Restaurant is one of those Italian restaurants that falls into the category of 'they just keep getting better', - until they approach the level of perfection, - and then they get even better than that. With all the new trendy restaurants opening in Asbury Park over the last several years, it's incredible that Jimmy's is still such a reliable & consistent choice for great food, great service, and a very civilized ambience. Jimmy's understands the needs of their guests, whether it be a birthday celebration, a marriage proposal, a retirement party, or an important business lunch or dinner, - they always come through flawlessly, assuring that everything goes right. There is not a mistake to be made on the whole menu, from the pizza, to the salads, to the fish, the pasta, the desserts and everything else they serve. Whatever you order is fresh, nicely prepared, and delicious. While fancy enough for any occasion, there is something about Jimmy's that also feels very comfortable & familiar every time you go there. It is a wonderful treat every time, whether it is lunch or dinner, winter or summer, crowded or quiet, - this is what a great restaurant is and is supposed to be.“

“TJ’s is the best is asbury“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“
