12 Best Italian Restaurants in Asbury Park

“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 .“

“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!“

“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.“

“Was lucky to snag a chef's counter reservation on Friday. The service and food was amazing. We had the latke and pork chop paired with a really lovely wine. We loved the Harry's bar so much that we returned the next night for cocktails and snacks.“

“Food was good but the bread was not! There’s plenty of good Italian bread nearby in Staten Island and bklyn! Get some real bread there“

“been here a few times.....

i love this place! i had linguine with marinara sauce and split the arugula salad with my dad. it was very good! so much left overs to take home. it was great! staff is very friendly as well.

i had the vodka linguine and it was very good! creamy and saucy :). i love their olive oil. it has rosemary flavor to it. i mainly used the olive oil with the bread rather than butter. although bread and butter is always good! sometimes olive oil is a good replacement. i just love their pasta. always fresh and delicious.

i also had the caprese salad which has mozzarella, tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, peppers, and basil. very fresh and delicious!“

“Delicious food and friendly service!“

“I rarely, if ever, will spend money at an Italian joint— mostly bc I think I can cook better food at home and don’t feel like dishing out $100 for a mediocre meal.

This isn’t that. This is a neighborhood place that pumps out tight, legitimately great food. Nothing fancy, nothing expensive— just solid, homemade tasting Italian food.

5/5, I gladly recommend. And it’s BYOB.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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.“
