We highly recommend Patricia's of Holmdel. We have frequented this establishment with our immediate family of 12 for birthdays, celebrations, and more! The environment is warm and inviting through its modern decor, enjoyable music, lighting, and seating. Tables are covered with white clothes and seating is comfortable whether inside or out. The location is well maintained and clean. The pricing is average for fine dining. The entire staff is exceptional. We enjoy all pleasantries with the staff members. It is evident that care is placed in choosing the staff. Each is professional, personable, and thorough. They make us feel like VIP every time we go, especially when John N. is our server. John N. is extremely knowledgeable of the inner workings of this establishment. We have severe food allergies and dietary restrictions. John N. illustrates such compassion towards us. He is diligent in keeping us safe, and keeps open communication with the chef when we are present. He is so kind and fun, too, in such a way that he feels like a family member. While eating at Patricia's it feels as if we are transported to a family dinner in Italy. Between the welcoming ambience, pleasant staff, and delicious food, we (without hesitation) highly recommend Patricia's of Holmdel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Food was great. We didn't have a reservation and the staff said if we could finish by 6:30, they could seat us. We had great service by Luca. His recommendations did not disappoint. BYOB. We were visiting from NC.

Went on Sunday June 11 at around 7:45. My party of 6 was seated right away. The restaurant was mostly empty. A server came over for our drink order, 4 cokes, 1 sprite, 1 diet coke. He started to walk away but came back to verify the order. A few minutes later he came back with the wrong drinks. He appeared new and unsure of himself. Not a problem. When he tried putting the drinks on the table, he lost the balance of the tray and 3 glasses of soda spilled all over me. The server was extremely apologetic. I wasn’t mad, I explained that it was no big deal, it was okay. It was obviously an accident. My family moved over to another table. After a little bit the manager (man with a man-bun). came over to see if we were celebrating anything. We had just come from our daughters dance recital so we talked about that for a minute. No apology from him for being covered in soda. We ordered our food, Chicken parm, a pizza, lasagna, penne vodka (kids), caesar salad, focaccia bread pappardelle bolognese, gnocchi a la norma. We also ordered three desserts. The food was all good. Two things to improve on, the olive oil on the table tastes cheap and lacks flavor. The grated Parmesan cheese in the shaker is basically kraft, step it up a bit. The bill arrives $251.65 (tax included). They have listed suggested gratuity on the bill (i actually like when they do this), but it is based on the total bill including tax, instead of just the items ordered. So I left $49 in tip (20.76% before tax). So $300.65 for dinner for a party of six, no apology from the manager, not even “let me comp your dessert or one of your entrees.” Nothing. I don’t blame the server, it happens, he was probably new and he apologized. I don’t really even want anything free, a management apology would have been sufficient.

My son had his wedding at Patricia's on Sunday 3/26/23 and the food, the service was excellent, the owners were very accommodating and the room was beautiful......the quality of the food was outstanding.
I would recommend Patricia's for any party or event the restaurant went out of their way and made my son a GREAT wedding experience.

My niece got engaged by the fountain and they could not have been nicer!!! They ate dinner first and the staff was so very accommodating. The engagement was a surprise and afterwards they walked to the fountain where we had it all decorated with candles, roses, balloons and a marry me sign. Once she said yes- a staff member even brought out Champaign for them to toast! It was a Great and memorable experience and the best staff for sure! Thank you so much!!!

The layout is a comfortable and relaxed environment with just enough fine touches that a visit of any nature (fun, formal, or otherwise) would be an ample celebration there. The service was impeccable - attentive, friendly and prompt with every portion of our order and any questions we asked. The Rose wine Liz suggested was a splendid addition to the meal. Liz herself could not be more gracious or kind. We've worked in food and wine service for 15+ years - this lady is a gem. Now the food....You hear about it from everyone, you read it everywhere. In today's world of endless screen time and limitless platforms, everyone has a place they swear by. Well, this restaurant is 2 hours and 20 minutes from our home and I'll be the first to tell you, we're already hoping to visit them again next month. Perfect Eggplant - dense and delicate simultaneously and served in a sauce that was spice and smoke in perfect symphony. Short ribs that melted like ice in a noon day sun as soon as the fork was in your hand. Gently prepared over risotto that felt like home with every bite. Lamb chops so precise they could make filet weep. Stacked across sprouts done ever so sweetly with crisp, crunchy bacon just the way you always ask for it, but rarely find it served. This isn't a ploy for social media. This isn't a rant for yelp. This is a clarion call to every foodie looking for a wonderful nite out in a world that is otherwise double trouble and a stressed mess. Go to Patricia's. Bring some wine or buy it there. Bring someone you love, someone who brings you joy or venture out solo for some peace and culinary meditation. But go. You want to go out. You want to relax, eat and indulge. You will thank me.

We love this restaurant, food is excellent. .. But every time we eat in the main dining room we leave with our clothes smelling like food, the kitchen is nearby and I guess they need better ventilation. I’m spending more of my laundry bills than my dinner. I would hate not to have dinner here because of this problem. I hope management addresses this problem. Please respond if anyone else has this problem. JD

Celebrated my beau’s 60th birthday last night just before the storm arrived hard. Everyone (all 20) and everything was excellent. Tara was our host and she was beyond accommodating, professional and understanding.
We totally enjoyed our Friday night dinner here. We were 3 people sitting in the back room. Noise level was moderate and tables were spaced. The venue Is large - basically divided into 3 sections. There was an outside room surrounded in plastic. This is BYOB. We had a margarita pizza to share at first. It was large and delicious Then we ordered our entrees. My husband had the halibut special which was extraordinary It was perfection. My friend and I each had the paccheri Genovese which is slow braised short rib ragu, topped with shaved parmigiana and truffle oil. We absolutely loved it. It was so flavorful! But expect to be very full after eating this. I could not enjoy dessert but we did order a raspberry sorbet and cappuccino. This was a perfect meal.

I organized a lunch for 9 people. Everything was excellent...BUT (to come later). We were seated under the tent outside, table was lovely, the woman I dealt with to organize it was terrific, our waiter was terrific. Appetizers we split were very good (though the eggplant could have been cut in the kitchen to share); desserts excellent. Other entrees looked great BUT... the veal marsala was awful. A plate of brown, no garnish, no height, the meat was like braised mystery meat. I did write a nice letter to the owner about it, and amazingly they never wrote or called, despite the fact that I have many friends in Cedar Village Holmdel who eat there regularly.

Nice outdoor space next to a park. Good Italian food with generous portions. Very happy with the meal. Forgot to bring wine or beer as they have no liquor license due to a NJ blue law. Nothing really c Isengard to get some. All in all it was a excellent meal and we had enough left over for another meal

Ignored what I asked for, my wife order skirt steak and it was sliced wrong which made it tough to eat.
