Molto - Italian Restaurant Marlboro NJ

This restaurant is closed. Everywhere says it's open...open table, Google, FB etc. but when we arrived for our reservation Saturday night even after receiving multiple confirmations the place was closed. Such a shame we used to really love this place.

The restaurant is SHUTDOWN but still accepting reservations here. Wasted my time showing up and ruined our night since we used a Drop n go event at local gymnastics gym to watch our kids so we had no time to pivot elsewhere to eat.

First time dining here and was pleasantly surprised. To start our server Bella was awesome! Knowledgeable about the entire menu with great recommendations. The food was prepared to order so it came out hot and fresh. We changed the mussel appetizer to clams and they were very accommodating. It was delicious. With lots of fresh garlic and soupy and we loved dipping the bread into it. We had a pizza and the ribeye special and both exceeded expectations! Without question this will be a regular spot for dinner. Highly recommend!!

My new favorite place! Great food, pizza was incredible, baby rack of lamb cooked to perfection, deserts were so good I didn't get to take a pic...

Pizza and gelato were the best i've ever had in my area which says a lot coming from freehold/manalapan. Rigatoni pomodoro and lamb with mashed potatoes were amazing too so was the tiramisu. Waitress was super nice. Loved it here! Will be back many times.

Kitchen and service can’t seem to handle client flow. Not too busy either. We were not the only patrons verbally upset about poor service. When there are so many restaurants to choose from, no need to tolerate this.

Party of 4, for appetizers share the fried calamari, shrimp and Vegetables. And the goat and walnut spring mix salad. Fresh and delicious. Our main dishes all come out piping hot and cooked to perfection.

We came on a rainy afternoon and the quality of the food really stood out. The pasta dish with crab was out of this world. Pizza was lovely.

Great local BYOB Italian restaurant. Their pasta dishes are outstanding as are their steaks. Wait staff is friendly. Their mussels appetizer in a Fra Diavolo sauce is delicious with a rich tomato flavor and just the right amount of kick. Their rolls are made from pizza dough and are great with their dipping oil.

Food was average. Price not worth it. I NEVER leave a review. At the end of dinner i ordered a pasta dish for my son for takeout. Bill was 25. 00 i gave 40.00. I did not receive change. I had to ask for it . Of course i left a tip. But not a 15.00 dollar tip on takeout !. Very rude on our waiter's part. I will never go back. Save ur money and cook a frozen pizza.

Recommended dishes: Margherita

My family and friends went there last night and were not disappointed. The service was attentive and polite but not too much and the food was outstanding, especially the octopus starter. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Alexa organized my wife's surprise 50th birthday dinner. I cannot say enough good things about her and the entire staff's attentive service before and during the dinner! Trevor was excellent handling my guests and the food was outstanding and plentiful... Pizzas, Pastas, and main dishes were all excellent!! I highly recommend Molto for anyone looking to host a special occasion!! Ask for Alexa, you will not be disappointed!

Food was good, although a little too oily. Was very happy to see a menu of Italian food that was not Chicken Parm or Eggplant Rollatini. The offerings were very interesting, homemade Pasta was delicious and sauces were very nice. I was disappointed, however, with my dish, which was supposed to have Lump Crab meat as the base of the dish.. But there were definitely no lumps. In fact, if there was an ounce of crabby strings in the sauce it was a lot. Wasn't thrilled with that, especially with the price of the dish, which would have been relatively reasonable, if they had put some Crab meat in the dish. Waiter was very attentive, except at the end when he got busy, but that's expected. Only other issue was they brought 8 of 9 dishes to the table, and my wife, who's birthday it was, had to wait almost ten minutes while we all sat there. It's BYOB, appetizers, dinner and soft drinks, plus the automatocally added tip and credit card fee was around $500 for nine people, which wasn't so bad.

Molto has potential! But service is once again lacking and inattentive! 4th try and they can not handle the crowds. Kitchen is too small. Reservation was at 7:15. Shared a salad. And no dinner til 8:35 ! Asked if they had gluten free pasta said yes. Came back 10 min later and said they served their last portion of GF. Pasta. Not sure I believe. I think kitchen was swamp and didn't want to deal with be responsible for making GF PASTA. then don't offer it! Order the steak special. At$150. Porterhouse medium. Came out medium well, taste was good therefor the potential . At this time we were too hungry to say anything. But no one came to ask how it was till we were done. Our waiter was not attentive too busy drinking his water and soda behind counter ! Sorry it'll take a bit to get us back . We had a gift certificate so it didn't hurt that bad but definitely not worth it. They need to get their act together!
