“I usually pick up my orders due to the condition of my pizza when I order delivery but I ordered in tonight. I was pleasantly surprised to find my pizza not sloshed to one side, the cheese to sauce ratio was perfect! I don't usually write reviews but I had to let it be known that Chiafullos is on the up and up! I will definitely be ordering again!“
“Ordered takeout over the phone on a Sunday afternoon around 4:45pm. Quick and easy. When I picked up, order was all correct.(Large margherita pie. Large buffalo wings with Bleu cheese. Penne vodka with chicken)Easy drive to get here (right off route 36)Plenty of parking spots. They are a part of a small strip mall that includes a sushi spot, gym, dollar store, nail salon etc so parking is never an issue.Wings were the crispy and just the right amount of sauce. Pizza was perfect, melty cheese with the thin crust that was in between soft and firm.Pasta was huge.. it was packed full with chicken. Needed a little salt though.Hands down the best pizza for the price around the area.They also have a loyalty program. Just add your phone number and after you spend $100, you'll get 10% off your next order.“
“A family-owned restaurant. The owners are from Italy. So if you're thinking of going to Italy, save your money and go here instead. The scenery may be better over in Italy but the food here is the same. Everything on the menu is awesome..“
“Really great food and atmosphere at this spot. Feels like a family, where the owner knows a ton of the customers and focuses on service and ambiance.Drinks were great. Bread with the ricotta was awesome and was cooked with some garlic and rosemary.Even sleeper pick items were good, like the trout dip.The Caesar salad was celery based, so maximum crunch. I thought it was interesting.The pizzas were excellent, wood fired. We also got a spinach ricotta, but felt a bit dry.On the service side, seemed they were backed up for a bit, but overall we didn't have any issues.Eggplant parm was really dense and multi layered. We enjoyed.Dessert was excellent.“
“No complaints about the food ever but Oscar needs to have a lesson on etiquette and customer service, otherwise he’s in the wrong damn business. He’s very disrespectful. That’s it. Multiple people I know say the same exact thing and because of that they won’t go back.“
“Greatest little Italian restaurant on Hylan Blvd. Food- Fantastic, Service- Superb, Ambiance-Amazing...their pre-fixed menus are the best and the prices are absolutely wonderful. I just had my 2nd party there and Robert took care of the set-up over the phone while Chris and his people handled the rest on Sunday March 10th. What was supposed to be a small family dinner for the 4 of us for our daughter's 6th birthday, turned into a small party of 17...they even got us her cake which was delicious, super fresh & super cute. I highly recommend Giuliana's not only for a party but even a night out for dinner with the family if you're not in the mood to cook & clean up afterwards. Our 1st dinner party was August 1st after our wedding at city hall on Richmond Terrace, that was during the week and for 12 people. The price did not match the outstanding service and brilliant mouth watering taste of the food, we could not stop talking about & praising Giuliana's for days afterwards & could not wait to have another gathering there which we did to celebrate our daughters birthday. Ask for Robert...tell him the Calvano's (Michael & Stephen) sent you“
“The other night we went to Sapori for dinner. We walked in and were greeted warmly. The staff here is super friendly and very accommodating. They seated us at our table by a window. The restaurant has a warm, romantic vibe with beautiful art work. We were given menus which is extensive and you have a lot to choose from plus they also had specials. They bring out bread, eggplant caponata and butter. I thought it was really good and different than just the traditional bread and butter option. We decided to go with fried calamari for an app. It was perfect.. Very crunchy, fresh.. lightly seasoned! Served with fresh tomato sauce. A rather large portion to share. Next for dinner I had a special- pistachio encrusted Chilean sea bass with citrus glaze and roasted veggies and potatoes. This was such a delightful dish. The fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The pistachios were so good on top of the fish and the glaze balanced the dish. The veggies were crunchy and seasoned perfectly with garlic and butter. I really enjoyed this dish. The linguine with white clam sauce. Was fresh and extremely delicious. This dish was packed with clams and a ton of roasted garlic. I must say the pasta dishes are very large. Lastly spaghetti with marinara the sauce was fresh and we really enjoyed it. the spaghetti was more thicker like a bucatini. And unfortunately it was a tad under done. It needed a minute or two in the water to be perfectly al dente. Other than that this was a perfect dinner. For dessert we ordered the chocolate lava cake and tiramisu. It seemed like it was home made. Lava cake tasted amazing it was accompanied by vanilla ice cream. the tiramisu was light and not too sweet. Cappuccino was perfect not bitter or overly milky. By far I really enjoyed Sapori and I would def recommend coming here for dinner. The ambience, staff and food were extremely enjoyable! Parking in street. Small parking lot.“
“A great find! Love the creative menu and the food continually impresses - whether the seafood, steaks, or traditional Italian. The Bolognese and the Calamari are always on point. The service really stands out, especially Juan and the attentive bus staff.“
“Phenomenal sandwiches and other italian fare. Fried ravioli are must-trys. The sandwich selection is HUGE, and you can have them make any sandwich you like. I had the Mel Brooks (pastrami, corned beef, swiss, cole slaw, Russian dressing) on a panini. Absolutely delicious. Needed about five napkins as it was so juicy and savory. Will be coming back repeatedly and will try the italian egg rolls next time.“
“Amazing meal. Ivan was our server. Went out of his way to tend for our every need.Good was cooked to perfection. Artichokes & Non as meatballs for apps, Short-rib & Chicken Scarpiello for entrees.Will be back. Frankie, you killed this! Love it!“
“We had the baby artichoke salad and mussels as appetizers and both were fantastic. Presentation and taste were both great. For the entrees, we had the halibut and also the daily special, which was a red snapper. All entrees came with side dishes, but we also got a side of crimini mushrooms which were very tasty. This restaurant is not inexpensive, but it's worth it for a special occasion.“
“Olivia’s II is an enchanting Italian restaurant which I was delighted to discover. Everything about it made you feel at home and cared about as family. It is one of those places whereby you might be having a difficult day only to have that change by the hospitality and quality of food. I always enjoy the pizza with sausage and anchovies as well as the Brooklyn pie which is also “heavenly”. The chicken parmigiana with linguine, garlic and oil alters your feeling state and makes you smile.It is delicious! I have never been disappointed and frequent this wholesome haven regularly.Dietary restrictions: The food is cooked to order and they also have vegetarian and gluten free options.“
“I can’t say enough good things about this place. The food is delicious and fresh. Customer service is top notch. We love their daily specials!! Rice balls, banana pudding, porchetta, prosciutto are all amazing sandwiches are big that I always have leftovers Competitors serve way less for the amount they charge. Quality food like this is WORTH the money.“
“This is a 5 star establishment!! Thank you guys for being here !Parking: Huge parking lot next door. A-little busy during the day but after 5 everyone leaves the office complex next door . But even then he’s got a couple reserved spots for BELOs right next door .“
“Our group dined early and it was initially quiet. As the restaurant filled up, it does get louder. Food was phenomenal as usual. The Sea Bass entrée was really enjoyed by two of us and the Burratta appetizer & Harvest Salad were quite nice.“
“My first visit to Porcini was a wonderful experience, we went for a 3-course prix fixe Valentine's menu and loved every dish. We are already planning a return visit to work through the regular menu. Wonderful service and everything was delicious!“
“We went for my birthday and what a gift it was. The service by Lea was amazing, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.The owner kept checking on us to see if we needed anything. And the food, oh the food was outstanding. Their strip steak was absolutely delicious melted in your mouth perfectly cooked and prepared. If you haven’t tried it there yet I absolutely recommend you do.Parking: I found a spot right outside and so did the other 2 cars that came with us. I went on a Wednesday night don’t know if that matters, there’s still plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: They were so patient and kind with my 3 grandchildren.“
“I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could. My mom had my dad's 85th birthday party at Mimmo's . The owner, Domenico, was incredibly flexible to the different possibilities my mom was interested in. Day of the party, his son Ralph personally took care of the main table where my parents were. ALL the staff was wonderful and attentive. But my parents were treated with incredible respect. The food was amazing!!! Our family kept raving over how delicious everything was. Course after course, one dish after another, just delicious. And the Nutella zeppolis for dessert - WOW, simply decadent. * A small detail - when signing the contract, while I was excited about the Nutella zeppolis, my mom mentioned "eh, she could do without the Nutella". Ralph remembered that and put out trays half with and half without the Nutella. Made EVERYONE happy! Thank you for everything. We'll definitely be back.“
“My dish was delicious ?. Clean place and good parking space. We went early. Server was nice. Not many menu choices which is why I gave 4stars. One other note bread was hard and cold. It would be nice to have soft warm bread ?. (This is my opinion no reflection on rating) Atmosphere was fantastic.“
“A deli with an extensive menu. The sandwiches are stuffed and delicious. I coild only eat half of my chicken cordon blue. The mushroom soup was fantastic. There's seat yourself seating, and the place was doing nonstop takeout when we were there for lunch. Definitely going back!“
“I’ve only gotten take out from this place, but goooooooshdarn is it delicious. We’ve tried four of the specialty pizzas, all of which elicit a happy dance. The general tsos pizza has been my favorite so far, definitely a must try. If you asked my boyfriend though, he’d say the money pie is the sure winner. At this point I’ve accepted that you cant go wrong here“
“We gave it 5 stars as we like down home, mom and pop locally owned Italian restaurants and it did not disappoint as the decor was just how we like it, Homey and Warm.Since our beloved Tuzzio’s in Long Branch closed due to Joe retiring we ventured to Red Bank to the New Corner Italian Restaurant and after passing this establishment for 22 years we stopped in carrying our own Wine….yes it’s BYOB.I ordered the chicken parm with a side salad and spaghetti and my wife ordered Zuppa de Pesci, it was all very flavorful and authentic, we will be back.One last thing Stephanie the waitress was awesome.“
“Food is phenomenal. We rarely eat Italian in restaurants since our family are such great Italian cools. But with 4.9 stars, definitely decided to try it.Bread was served warm, with delicious soft butter ( not that hard wrapped butter so many places serve),Clams oregenato were the Best we ever had.For entrees, we converted 2 of the other apps into main melas.The eggplant rollatini was served over pasta. Wonderfully thin eggplant. Super flavorful cheese. And marina sauce was spot on.The other app turned entree was the Artichoke hears and spinach over pasta. The hearts were amazing, served francais style. I want to come back just for this dish!We were too full for dessert! ?Considering the quality, I thought the price was reasonable. I am happy to pay more for such a well prepared meal.Thank you! We will be back!“
“Dinner at Toscanella was perfection! I had lasagne comparable to my homemade. My husband had a huge portion of eggplant Parmesan. Entrees came with a healthy mixed salad. Loved it! Everyone was friendly and attentive. Prices reasonable ,BYOB and great meal. Our new favorite!“
“Go Back In Time… (and I mean waaaay back) when every single bite of food, explodes with natural flavor, not spices but the genuine homemade tastes like Nonna made!Even the atmosphere brought me back decades; we walked in and were greeted by the owner with such warmth. I instantly felt like I knew him (though to be clear, I don’t). And I hope you can understand it) this is his kitchen, that he opens up to you, with love. The place- is like his home, like a big dining room. You’ll instantly feel at home, like family.He makes everything EVERYTHING from scratch and you can taste it!I had The BEST Pizza of my life! AndI had stuffed rigatoni in vodka sauce , my eyes rolled back in my head! There was so much but it was outta this world!You gotta go!Vegetarian options: There’s tons to choose from. They’ll make what you wantKid-friendliness: It’s very family friendly“
“First time dinning at Piccolino’s and it was a pleasant experience!Serving staff was knowledgeable of the menu, attentive of our needs. Our water glasses were never empty.Our cocktail were excellent! The wine was a good size pour!All of our cocktails, appetizers, main course, coffee and dessert were all packed with great flavors!My pork chop was HUGE accompanied by seasonal vegetables and potatoes.Judging from the empty plates of my fellow guest theirs were delicious too.And as an added bonus they had a cruder singing in the style of Frank Sinatra supper club! He was a bit too loud but had a great voice and played all the classics!First timer but won’t be the last! They get a well deserved 5 ***** Star review!“

“I went into Rockerfellas and I loved it. Rico and Renee are some of the nicest people you ever want to meet and have a good time with. The food is absolutely excellent. Fun for the whole family , they catered delicious meals for my family and I ,we loved it. My kids love Rico we always have a very nice time and the customers always leave satisfied .“
“Best place for pizza in the area. Food is consistently great no matter what you order but specifically their bruschetta slice and vodka slices are out of this world. The people who work there are very kind too and no matter how busy the place is the service is usually pretty fast.“
“Was here for a bridal shower. The menu was plentiful. It was a party menu however it offered a fair variety of choices. The wait staff was attentive and the wait time for food was fair. Food was delicious and was of a fair serving size.“
“First time here. Visiting my cousin. The service and professionalism were present along with great atmosphere.I had the Veal parmesan Chop with a delicious pasta. My cousin had the Halibut, which was another tasty dish. We also had the Calamari first for an appetizer. It's delicious with a slight kick with the sauce.Go and have a great Italian meal. You won't be disappointed.“
“We started with a couple of appetizers, fried chicken wings, and the fried mozzarella triangles. Which were really tasty. Then we ordered the Margherita pie and the Carnevale (meat lovers). They were perfectly done and had such a delicious sauce. We look forward to going back again soon.“
“I love their pizza. Great crust and toppings (sauce and peppers) Their White Pie is good. I got mine with Broccoli. The Broccoli pieces were big which I had no problem but if you prefer smaller maybe ask them to cut them smaller.I also got their Fried calamari, which I did not like too much because it was mix with Fried Octopus, I wish it had all ring Calamari .“
“Busy little spot. I love the complimentary bread. It came fresh out of the oven. So good. The lasagna didn’t look like the most appetizing dish but it was very good. I liked the flavor. The meatballs were decent. A little bland but my son loved them. The beet salad had more mixed greens than beets. Pet peeve of mine. The branzino was ok. The zeppoles were awesome. Get them with nutella. Service was great and I would come back. Check it out!“
“Great fresh food! I had the grilled chicken Cesar salad! My granddaughter and boyfriend had the cheese steak! Everything was so fresh and was awesome! The chicken in the salad was delicious!! We also had the garlic knots!Parking: Large Parking lot on the side of the building!Kid-friendliness: Tables outside to eat. It was a nice day so we sat outside!“
“we have been eating at an ordering/catering for years! The food is always amazing! The owner John and his staff especially Mike are always so welcoming! Chicken parm and penne vodka are the best! Also, always so charitable catering our sporting events at our local school events!“
“Food was excellent. Large portions. We ordered the stuffed meatball & bruschetta pomodoro for apps. 2 of us had the special Chicken Rolletini which was huge and the chicjen was so tender. My husband had the pork Osso Bucco & other guest had Ckn Parm. Desert I had the Creme Brulee. I will say it was crowded so the noise level was high. We actually had to shout to talk but would definitely go back again.“
“Ordered here for the first time after searching for a new pizza place when our favorite spot went out of business. Ordered a plain pie and a focaccia deep dish style. Both were fantastic! We are so happy to have found this place and can’t wait to order again soon.“
“This was our first time there. The place is nice and so was the staff. Our waitress was very good. They give you hot bread when you sit down. I had spaghetti and meatballs. It was good and I loved the meatballs. You get 2 good size ones. My boyfriend had the linguine with white clam sauce. He enjoyed it! We will definitely be going back there again!! Thanks!! Cathy“
“Food was good, a little expensive. We had a gift certificate we purchased online and at first the Tinton falls restaurant said that was for the coney Island restaurant and did not want to take it. Showing him the gift certificate did not state Coney Island only, he did accept it. That was the only issue that the did resolve. “
“This was such an amazing experience! George made sure my family and I were well taken care of and delivered nothing but grade A service. The owner Pasquale should be very proud of him self and servers for delivering such a breathtaking experience. I felt like I was with my Italian grandparents again who sadly left this world and really made me feel like I was in nonas kitchen. Happy Easter and thank you for this amazing experience. You have gained returning customers.Dietary restrictions: Plant based options. Italian "sausage" broccoli Rabe was incredible“
“My husband & I celebrated his birthday & our 1st wedding anniversary at this location on 4/13/24. Wonderful service, great food. It was a bit crowded as there were at least 10 birthday celebrations at once. But the staff kept up pace & never missed a beat. I deducted a star from the atmosphere aspect because while everything was great - the music was a bit too loud. Almost like a bar or brewery.“
“So been here a few times. Everytime I’ve been here it gets better & better.Last night might’ve put it over the top. Took friends who’ve never been before, and they too are hooked!Joe our server was great- Patient & accomodating.We had octopus, oysters, artichoke & meatballs for apps, then for dinner had Ribeye, Filet, Veal Marsala & Chicken Parm. Filet had fresh truffle shaved by the Head Chef at the table.End of the evening, Frankie came over, spent about 20 mins at the table talking to us, then invited us to the Speakeasy for a drink, where he continued to tell us how he got his start which is a great story.We drive from Tom’s River to eat here. This is an all around killer place that we will continue to come to.“
“Fiore Di Mare is an exceptional restaurant that truly delivers an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the scent of freshly prepared Italian cuisine that tantalizes your taste buds.The menu is extensive and offers a variety of dishes to suit every palate, including seafood, meat, and vegetarian options. The presentation of the dishes is absolutely beautiful, and the flavors are even better. The seafood is incredibly fresh and expertly prepared, while the pasta dishes are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.The service at Fiore Di Mare is exceptional. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making you feel right at home. The restaurant has a cozy and intimate feel, which adds to the overall dining experience.I highly recommend Fiore Di Mare to anyone looking for an outstanding dining experience. The food, atmosphere, and service are all top-notch, and it's easy to see why this restaurant is so highly regarded. If you're looking for a special night out or just a delicious meal, Fiore Di Mare is the place to be.“
“We are repeat customers of Campania and this restaurant never disappoints! We did have to wait a bit to be seated but it was a Friday night so no doubt it was crowded. We had fried calamari as an appetizer and it was crispy and delicious. My husband has the pork chop with cherry peppers, my daughter has the Bolognese and I had their special dish called the Frank Sinatra. All were very flavorful and the portions were just right. We had creme brulee, cheesecake and chocolate mousse cake and the presentation was so beautiful. The mousse was light and airy and not the kind I like which is dark and heavier yet it was still good. We definitely left full and satisfied and will be coming back again!Parking: Hard to find your own parking as their lot only has spots for about 6 cars but they do have valet.“
“Went to dinner last night to celebrate a special occasion. Undici, like always, did not disappoint. We had a wonderful server (I wish I remembered her name) who recommended I try the Pinot noir. The board was great. The soft cheese (I’m guessing it was Gorgonzola) was incredible, and the prosciutto was divine. The maraschino cherries were a bit out of place for the dish. For my entree I had the gnocchi with wild boar ragu. It was my favorite part of the night. The meat was gamey, but not in a bad way. It really made the dish. The gnocchi wasn’t shaped like I thought it would be, but it was still great. It held the sauce very well. The Pinot noir tasted great with it. For dessert I got a biscotti caffe and hazelnut gelato. The caffe and gelato really complimented each other well. Everyone in my party raved about the gelato.The only downside to the evening was that we reserved a table upstairs, but we were seated downstairs. The acoustics downstairs aren’t great and I could barely hear anyone in my party. I don’t want to deduct a star for that though, as the food and service were incredible.Can’t wait for my next Undici trip.“
“WOW, WOW,WOW, What a gem of a family owned restaurant in Oceanport. Recently, while taking a different way home I stumbled on this restaurant. Went back for dinner and I will be a regular. Why, food was OUTSTANDING-Priced for value, the family were very friendly and engaging, and the atmosphere was quaint-good for a family or “date night “ dinner-and BYOB always high on my list!“
“The food at Via Sposito does not disappoint. Everything we had was delicious. We ordered fried calamari and rice balls for appetizers- both were delicious. There were 4 of us and we ordered 2 chicken parm dinners and two linguine and white clams sauce. All the dinners were great. The clams were nice and large. The one complaint that we have about this restaurant is that it is very loud. The acoustics are not good and they had music piped in that was too loud. It makes it difficult to have a conversation at the table without screaming at each other. It is the one reason we don't go here more often.“
“Friendliest bar in Monmouth County. Focus is on the genuine, rather than the pretty. If you care about the décor, go elsewhere. If you care about non-pretentious, friendly folks, and cheap drinks, and good, down-to-earth food, this place is tough to beat.“
“Great place to enjoy a nice casual, comfortable, and professional place to eat. I enjoyed the service, and it was B.Y.O.B. I recommend a nice night out with your lady, she's worth it. Take her here, and make sure you can afford it..worth every penny!“
