“Beautiful service and staff are so nice and attentive! The food is so delicious, BYOB !“

“Cute and quaint atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food is absolutely delicious! Chicken vindaloo and chicken Tikka masala. Also some spicy chili garlic Naan, butter Naan and roti. Flavorful and good portion sizes. They could stand to give a little more rice with the entree, but that doesn't take away from the quality and enjoyment of the dishes. Can't wait to return to try other menu options.“

“Awesome terrific food no doubt 100pct. People like Soria are the best in the business..but but but Jesus Mary&Joseph omg when u call there and whoever might pickup the phone all you hear is an enormous background noise like I'm in Las Vegas. That must stop. Not at all professional not in the least. Move the woman who answers the phone to a separate non loud room. Not close to acceptable. I couldn't hear myself placing my order“

“Went here for a neuropathy dinner seminar they served us chicken with spinach and sour cream and artichokes it was so tender and tasty had the steamed green beans and mashed potatoes too good server was friendly , I will be back to try the rest of the menu“

“It would be easy to overlook this place. It’s buried way in the back of a strip mall. The interior ambience isn’t anything to brag about, either. Yet it is a true gem with amazing food at good prices and excellent service. My wife and I each ordered pizzas. She got the 12” Chicken Pesto and I ordered the 12” Meat Lover’s. Both came out promptly. It was amazing, the best pizza I’ve had in years. I can’t say too many good things about it. Everything was in perfect harmony, a symphony of umami and cheese. Meatballs, sausage, bacon. It had it all. Each bite a delight. My wife also loved her pizza. We stopped in on a Monday on the way up north for a show. There were a few tables occupied but I would imagine it probably gets busy on weekends. Even so, I would make a point of stopping in here again next time I’m passing through the area at dinner time.“

“Cute place with a great view of the skyline. Great food, great atmosphere and great people.“

“First time here and great experience! Outdoor dining only. Food is unbelievably fresh and tasty! The porta potties are upgraded bathrooms and surprisingly clean. Off street parking but not bad. Outdoor patio is going to be extended over the dunes for 2025. Can't wait to go back next summer!“

They also had a guitar player who played wonderfully and wasn’t overpowering so you can still chat with your table. Very satisfied with the food so compliments to the back staff. It’s very obvious the management runs a well organized restaurant so 👍👍. Just an awesome experience and we all look forward to heading back. Thank you all!“

“Awesome food! My Maui Sliders were the BEST! Tater Tots with Cheese were so good as well!“

“We’ve been going to Illiano’s nearly 36 years. It’s been great since day 1. We usually do takeout and find the pizza, subs and garlic knots to be the best in Monmouth County. When we moved out of town about 3 years ago we tried to find something that was comparable and closer, but that didn’t work out so make the trip back just about every Friday night. We highly recommend them!“

“Best pizza and food around!! Stall is so very courteous“

“Absolutely outstanding!! Great atmosphere, great service, and fantastic food from appetizers to entrees to desserts! Have been to the original in Brooklyn many times over the years but this was our first time at Gargiulo’s in Tinton Falls and it did not disappoint. Spoke to Theresa at the end of the night and she was very welcoming and sweet. We will DEFINITELY be back! Not one negative thing to say about the entire experience.“

“Hey guys,
Your food is awesome and delicious, but you increased the spice level too much from some time. Now, we can’t even eat mild level food due to the hotness. We can’t even imagine giving that food to the kids who grow up here. It will be too much for them. Please reduce the spice level if it is possible.“

“The food was ok. Similar to other places. Had the steamed dumplings and general tso's lunch special. The special came with hot and sour soup and vegetable fried rice as I ordered. The fried rice was good. The soup v was tasty, but a little bit too sour compared to many others I have had. The general tso's chicken was very good and had a nice spice to it. A nice surprise was the chicken was white meat.“

“Very good Cantonese cuisine, one of the best in America“
