50 Best Italian Restaurants near Marlboro

“Regularly a Brooklyn customer and tonight stopped in the NJ location. I really enjoyed the food as usual. Julia was a great server and would definitely go back when in the area. Rob“

“Two night's ago after my daughter, Lucianna, got out of her band practice for the Marlboro High School performance, Chicago, we stopped in to ask Renzo Kolenovic, if he had any pizza that Lucianna could provide to her classmates as part of a school assignment for the next day. Renzo asked, "When is your class?" Lucianna told him that it would start at 2 pm. Renzo said that he would make fresh pies and deliver them to the school. He did just that!!! Lucianna said that ALL of the students were able to enjoy this delightful, delicious treat that Renzo himself delivered to my daughter at Marlboro High School! Renzo Kolenovic is an upstanding citizen who puts our community, and especially our children above all else. If you haven't given his restaurant a try lately, you should really check out the new look!!! Very chic & appealing! Please let him know when you go that I recommended you give his place a try. :) (An extra special thank you to his wife, Azra Kolenovic, who made sure that the pies were made and delivered promptly, too!!!)“

“Best restaurant in nj hands down“

“This place is the best! The Branzino is so delicious and the service is always on point.“

“Great food, great people!“

“Excellent service, not rushed, very attentive staff. Food was very good.“

“I ordered food for my sons’s 10th birthday party and everything was great, fresh and delicious! 4ft hero, Italian and chicken cutlet, prosciutto balls and chicken tenders. I will definitely order from them again.“

“Wanted to give a shoutout to a recently opened local pizzeria, Village Maria! We placed an order and our pizza was delivered un-cut, so we called them kindly to give them a heads up, not asking for anything in return. Not only is all of there food always fresh and delicious upon delivery, they were so kind and thoughtful and went out of there way to send over a free pizza the next day. The people who work there are amazing and I highly recommend checking them out!“

“Owner should learn how to treat customers We were a party of four and we arrived on time for a 7:45 reservation. When we arrived there were many people waiting to be seated. We were told that the wait would only be 10 - 15 minutes. Fifteen minutes later we were told that the wait would be an additional 10 - 15 minutes. A half hour later my wife was told that the wait would only be another 10 - 15 minutes. After 45 minutes I requested to speak with the owner and I was told that I was speaking with the owner (at that point there was only one other group waiting to be seated). They informed me that a group of six with an 8:00 reservation was just seated. I said that it was not fair to make us wait 45 minutes since we did have a reservation and the people with a later reservation were just seated. I said that I may have something to say about it after the meal. The reply was "if you have something to say, say it now"! I replied that I would reserve my thoughts until after the meal. How insulting, imagine waiting over 45 minutes and then being told if I had anything to say I shouldn't wait till after my dinner, that I should say it now. I replied that I would wait till after the meal before I had any additional comments. With that we were refused service and we were told to leave. I am a 75 year old retired veteran and in my life I was never treated in this manner. When we grew up we had more respect for others. This is not how customers should be treated.“

“Had an absolutely amazing time here last night celebrating my anniversary with my boyfriend! Service was great, the drinks were really yummy (definitely try La Sirena) and the food was heavenly. Everyone was very welcoming and the table we were given was absolutely beautiful. We will be coming back here soon to try different dishes 😊“

“Great staff and delicious food!“

“I love the Italian cookies the rice ball was delicious the sandwich was well constructed and I can’t forget the Italian twisted bread a must. Definitely recommend this place to all 👋👋👋“

“Our favorite date night spot!! From the moment you enter- elegant atmosphere, warm faces and nice music set the tone for a wonderful night. Anthony the owner makes you feel like you’re the only diners there- making sure you’re enjoying yourself, getting your food in a timely manner and making it special. He is such a kind generous man. The servers Faith, Carson, and JoJo are absolutely incredible- they are knowledgeable about the food, friendly, and their work ethic is incredible for such young people. They truly made our night special! The food is the star- best rice balls we’ve ever had!! We have been dreaming of them ever since! The homemade burrata, meatballs and eggplant were also just amazing. We had the homemade gnocchi and chicken scarpiello- again the best we’ve ever had We are locals and try to get here as often as we can for date night- and we are always so amazed how it continues to be just 5 star every time. It’s a special, special place and we are lucky to have such a gem in our small town. Thank you Anthony & Heather!“

“Some of the most delicious pizza and food around in my short experience. The cauliflower crust is phenomenal.

We literally ate every piece of the delectable meal that was cooked for us. Our waitress was a family member who was the kindest person. If we are ever in town again we will definitely be stopping in!“

“Yesterday we had a Luau/Pool party at our new Toll RegencyFreehold Community .. we explained to Frank we had a very bad experience with a previous caterer and he promised us we would be pleased and not to worry. Well, we weren’t just pleased, we were excited and we all felt DAngelos far exceeded our expectations. The compliments kept flowing during the party… the service, setup and food was AMAZING!! Thank you Frank for an awesome job! We can’t wait to call you for our next event!!“

“Wonderful evening, food was amazing,service was excellent“

“Great sandwich shop and good service. This team generally gets busy between 12:30 - 2 pm so if you’re in a rush, order earlier or wait later in the afternoon. I’ve never had any issues with my order or picking it up, and my sandwiches have always been made correctly. They use fresh produce and meats and you can tell. I recommend coming here.“

“I am so sad I have missed out on 20 years of living here and not enjoying this amazing food. I have tried 3 wraps now and have been blown away by every single one. My family has tried an array of sandwiches and we have not been disappointed. With the love that is put into each dish, I don’t think we ever will be. Best place to get Italian food in the area by far!! Everyone in there is also so nice and the food is ready pretty quick.“

“Absolutely love this place. The people are so friendly. I have never had a bad pizza or dish. The sauce is out of this world. Please try them out!!! They clearly care and enjoy what they do, and you can taste it in every bite. Chefs kiss!!!“

“I stop in at Emilio’s Italian restaurant on my way home from church . I had the lasagna. Lunch special. It was very good . The sauce and the noodles were fresh. A good portions for lunch . My restaurant server was Cinzia. I’m not sure if she is one of the owner but she was very accommodating. We’ll go back again“

Ordered stuffed Ziti Fritta which was amazing appetizer, salad, chicken and Gnocchi soup were good, create your own pasta with rigatoni, chicken and five cheese sauce was also delicious. Stuffed chicken marsala that we ordered was average. Finally don’t forget the mint chocolate to finish it off. 😊“

“The owner and family are so wonderful. pizza is good.... everything that I've ordered so far has been very good“

“I love the pizza at Lisa's. It's got that thick tomato sauce and the cheese is great. Plenty of parking and the restroom is always clean.
When I'm craving pizza, this is the place. Even if it is a 20 minute drive.

Wheelchair accessibility: I don't remember if there's an entrance for wheelchair's. So I do apologize for that. I don't want to say one thing and it ends up being something else.“

“This place is amazing. great food- very friendly staff! Some of the best Italian food in NJ“

“This restaurant is absolutely amazing! I hosted my bridal shower in their banquet room, and it exceeded all expectations. The room is stunning—beautifully renovated, bright, modern, and impeccably clean. The service was excellent; the staff was attentive and professional, making the event run smoothly. While the food was good (though not exceptional), the overall experience was fantastic. If you’re planning a special event, this place is a perfect choice!“

“Ordered one large pizza half pepperoni and half chicken and paid $27 that’s ludicrous! Definitely not ordering from there again. Pizza was average at best! Gotta do better Bonettis!!“

“Had a bridal shower for 48 people. The food and the service was great. Everything ran smoothly. My guests raved about the food.“

“Our (gluten-free) family loves L’olivias, but tonight they blew us away with great food and great service with a large group for our daughter’s birthday. Not only did they make us great gluten free apps (you must have the calamari!), and great BIG gluten free pizzas (try the Route 33!), but they were all so kind and accommodating to our large party. I have never been to a restaurant where the staff all work together so well like a big team in the best interest of the diners as they do at L’olivia. It is so nice to be somewhere where you know you can ask anyone who walks past for something and they’re happy to help you and each other. If you are gluten free, know that our family has deemed this place celiac/cross contamination safe and it’s a must eat place not only for those GF, but any one who wants great food from great people 🙂 Thank you L’olivias!“

“Always great food and staff. I love the menu and can’t wait to go back again.“

“Went there with a party of 10. Was very good. Went back the following week with my wife. Food is delicious. Interior very well decorated. Highly recommended.“
