“Fiore Rosso is one one my favorite restaurants in the area. The food is always excellent and never disappoints. Prices are very reasonable and portions satisfying. As for the service, the best and led by the owners daughter, Kate. She is a special girl that is so bubbly. She just puts the icing on the cake for the whole experience. Always a fan. Rick Glick“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s all around! Chicken and veal parmigiana was amazing! Can’t believe it’s only the first time I’ve ever been there! Highly recommend for great Italian food and atmosphere!“

“Went there for the first time ever. Had to bring our phone to be fixed in the same plaza. So we stopped in for a bite to eat. Nick had a meatball empanada which was absolutely delicious. I had “the tower” two pieces of fried eggplant with layered fresh mozzarella and roasted red peppers topped with a balsamic reduction glaze. OMG it was so very light and refreshing. After the phone was fixed several hours later we went back and got more to have for dinner.“

“I have been back to Breakin' Bread On The Boulevard in Seaside Heights countless times because of the always amazing new specials. Yes, there is a standard menu, but you will likely never order from it because of the new and incredible dishes they always seem to have to offer. Prepare to be wowed again and again with every evening you spend there. If you're looking for a culinary evening that rivals anything you've seen on TV and surely dwarfs the places you've been before, this is it. I wouldn't go for the same old dish you love. I would go for the brand new dish you will quickly come to love every time they prepare it for you. Portion sizes are very big so you'll be grateful to have leftovers the next day, which i believe is a staple for this family run restaurant that honors the family meals they so enjoyed sharing at home, where leftovers are always a treasure. Plating is beautiful. Layers of flavors in every dish. Clearly a lot of attention on cooking everything just right. Absolutely perfect ambiance for dinner with your wife or dear friends that will surely invite you back again and again. Your experience is a top priority. This place is an on it's way gem that will absolutely give you a meal worth driving for. I can't think of a restaurant in red bank, asbury, or anywhere else that you'll be happier to have spent a special evening on the jersey shore.“

“Great food and excellent service!“

“This restaurant was delicious!!! Everything was wonderful from the waiters to the food that was amazing. The owner Ken went around to all tables and made us feel like family. thank You Saltimbocca I will absolutely be back.“

“We have never been disappointed with a meal at IL Giardinello's. Always excellent food & excellent service.“

“The food was really good. The service was excellent and the alcoholic beverage I had, (I would have never thought) was out of this world! I hate really strong drinks. I like it when the liquor doesn't taste like straight vodka. I ordered a lemon drink. (I can't remember the name of it) I was drunk afterward, off of one drink! (I don't drink a lot.) But it was strong and didn't taste like pure liquor. The bartender knows what they are doing! ? ? ?“

“Skipped Breakfast this morning so that we could visit a new to us Pizza Joint. Once again sampling another Big Mac Pizza!!! As the Medium Big Mac Pie was made and baked, we tried a Plain and a Grandma slice. Both Kit and I enjoyed those slices. The Big Mac came out and looked delicious, this one had the sesame seed sprinkled on top of the pizza, not baked in the crust like John's Crackle Barrel in Neptune, NJ. The chop meat on this pie appeared to have been crumbled cooked beef patties, the lettuce, onions, American cheese, chopped pickles and the special sauce once again replicated the taste of a Big Mac. Here they also had added a little mozzarella cheese in the blend. This overall added to the taste and was a delight!!!“

“Music was great, George Markey was awesome“

“Johnny G’s just catered our sons birthday party and it was AMAZING. Definitely recommend to anyone. Mike was awesome and very helpful. 11 out of 10 for sure!!!“

“First time at this restaurant on a Thursday evening and have to say it was the best experience. Upon arriving we were greeted right away. The staff was super attentive and the atmosphere cozy and fun. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The broccoli rabe appetizer was very good and you weren't overwhelmed with garlic. I ordered the stuffed shells, the best ive ever had. My boyfriend ordered the bolognese and really enjoyed it. Prices were more than reasonable. The whole experience made us feel like we were family. Definitely the new 'go-to' restaurant. Can't wait to go back.“

“Wonderful staff. Great atmosphere and DELICIOUS FOOD!“

“This is our go to place when down the shore! I’ve tried so many dishes here but my favorite meal by far is the Chicken Marcello. Chicken strips with Vinegar Peppers & Potatoes. Outstanding! My wife got the Eggplant Rollatini, but like me has tried numerous others! Kudos to the kitchen staff! The staff is always so friendly. Highly recommend to all.“

“Tonight was my second time doing happy hour at JoeBellas. The Fig and Pear martini is straight up divine. The happy hour menu is fun. I had no problem eating Parmesan Truffle Fries for dinner LOL so so yummy. My husband and I brought his cousins last Saturday for a beautiful sit down dinner and as we were being seated we saw our neighbor's from two houses over! Bought them a round of course. Everyone was very happy with their meal. What a fun local restaurant. You'll wait in the summer time of course, totally worth the wait but now that we locals have it back I'll be frequenting more often. I happen to bring a friend tonight who is now a loyal fan. #lovejoebellas“

“definitely one of, if not the best pizza place around here, their food other than pizza is super good also (love garlic knots)) they have good gluten free options as well, marvelous place 10/10?

Dietary restrictions: good gluten free food“

“I ordered a large catering order and when I went to go pay for it, sitting by the register was spinach Stromboli's... It looked so good, I had to order one for lunch. Well, it had to be the BEST Stromboli I have ever had. If you have never tried Della Cucina, you need to because you do not know what you are missing. A BIG 5 star for this establishment and also very clean and friendly service.“

“Good food, generous portions, friendly staff“

“Delicious pizza, crisp salad, great service, and friendly staff--all we expect. The restaurant was bustling on a Saturday night, but the vibe was lively and friendly. Warnings: 1) The two of us ordered a "small" pizza; it was huge and could easily have fed six people. 2) It was very noisy so conversation was difficult.“

“I have got take out twice from this restaurant when passing by due to work. I cannot explain how flavoursome the food is. Both times it’s been fantastic and hoping we can eat in one day soon. The garlic bread today was the best garlic bread I have ever eaten. Great portion sizes and lovely friendly service.“

“Aside from the individual pizzas which are delicious. The steak salad is very good. Might be a little pricey but when you want quality great tasting food Nino's is a hit!“

“Great place and another wonderful meal with great friends. Outstanding service“

“Delicious delicious delicious!!!! Just want to thank you for fantastic buffet that we all enjoyed so very much. As always ,, you are the best. Love the Cerbone family“

“My sister and brother-in-law were visiting NJ and staying in Tom’s River. I suggested we meet at Sugo for lunch. We were greeted warmly when we entered and were seated immediately. Service was professional and attentive. We ordered two falafel platters, a quinoa salad and a bowl of ziti for the table. The food was delicious and we all finished our meals. Interestingly, the falafel platter didn’t come with pita. This isn’t a complaint, just an observation. Since the portion was so big, I didn’t miss the pita. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and comfortable. The owner of Sugo’s also owns Giddy’s in Highland Park. The food there is equally as good.“

“Ordered from here when we were down 2 weeks ago. By far the best pizza in Seaside. Wish they delivered to central PA. Will be the only pizza we get while down the shore.“

“Always good! Always fast.“

“First time visiting 3 Flags and definitely will be back. Had the broiled stuffed flounder, rice and mixed vegetables 😋 it was delicious! My husband had Chicken Vesuvia and he said it was the best and tasty 😋 excellent place 👏“

“Great thin crust pie & amazing cheese calzone. I asked for extra mozzarella in calzone & it was perfect! Sauce very good. Our first time & will now try their famous Grandma Pie. Definitely our new go to! Thanks guys!“

“My go to place not only for lunch but all the other goodies they have Todays Beef Barley was amazing and the the Trooper sandwich was also great and a little too much to eat in one sitting but they are only too willing to box for you I find their helpers to be very friendly and they go above and beyond helping me to my car with my packages Can’t say enough about Rich the owner who knows most of his customers by name and always stops by to say hello Nice to go to a place that makes you feel comfortable“

“Personable staff and delicious food. Definitely recommend this place for a delicious Italian meal.“

“We had Kate & Ally’s cater a party at our local community center for 100 people. Everything from securing the date, choosing the menu, the food, and the service was top notch! I am so happy we were able to provide such high quality and creative food, but also, to have had the opportunity to just enjoy the party while the Kate and Ally staff handled it all from set up to clean up! Huge thank yous to Dianne, Lindsay, Janet, and Rich for all their hard work to help make my event special!“

When 2 slices of pizza for my picky eater child didn’t come with our order, your staff handled the call nicely and the driver brought it right back out to her, hot and fresh with no issues. Thank you very much!!! Much appreciated!“
