50 Best Italian Restaurants near Sea Girt

“Best Restaurant in New Jersey.“

“Hi everyone who's interested or curious about andys pizza. I've been coming to andys pizza for many years as a local and its always satisfying and fulfilling. I talk with the owner on a regular when stopping in for an order and enjoyour conversations as well as the food. Today I ordered a California cheese steak and eggplant parm subs with fries the way we like them for the first time and was blown away how great they were. I dont care about the price because the food is worth the money. I love supporting local businesses and will most definitely continue support andys. Appreciate all you do keep up the great work. 👍“

Can't wait to go back!“

“From the minute that we got there until we left very friendly.Great service!! It was our first time there.They gave us this beautiful salad on the house! Our food was delicious! GOOD bread,Eggplant parmesan,lasagna, cavitelli and broccoli rob. The meatballs are possibly the best i've ever had out, not even kidding. The red sauce was delicious, teeny bit salty for me but by far better than what I have experienced in the recent times I have been out to eat. Can't wait to go back. Very friendly atmosphere!“

“While we were too early to try anything off the menu, I wanted to thank this business for opening their doors (and bathroom!) to the people at the Pride Parade. The gentleman at the counter was sunny and kind and let everyone in. Most other businesses did not. We already have this place earmarked for our dinner after our next beach day. Thank you for being excellent humans.“

“The food is so good. During the winter it's open to the public, but over the summer it's a club, members only. It's recommended to make a reservation although they can take walk-ins. The pastas are so good. The specialty pizza was delicious. The service was so friendly and attentive. This is a kosher dairy restaurant, with delicious mocktails. They do have fish on the menu as well.“

The room upstairs was very spacious for our group of 40 people. It was nice to have our own bathroom and bar. The servers were friendly and attentive and also very helpful. Thank you for making the day run so smoothly. It was perfect!!“

“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!“

“What a wonderful experience I had unexpectedly today stopping in here while shopping with my daughter. I
Didn’t expect to buy anything but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the reasonable prices. I’m very discriminating when ordering at “Italian Specialty Shops “ because of working in the 5 boroughs of the City. This place is a family on gem with personable owners and workers ! I’ll will be back! Go here!!!“

“Dinner comes with salad. Chose ceasar dressing...excellent. bread arrived piping hot and fresh. Had both butter and oil to choose. Ordered crab cake appetizer. Large and lotsa crab. Only filler to keep together. Main course chicken and veal. Very tasty and generous size. Will return.“

“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.“

“I have to give a huge thank you to Brooklyn Bistro for the amazing job they did for my daughters graduation dinner last night. Everything was wonderful. The food was cooked perfectly, the service was absolutely amazing. Thank you Brooklyn Bistro <3“

“First time, we were three lucky walk-ins and scored the last available table. We immediately felt comfortable and were impressed by the attentive service. Vincent was our waiter. The food exceeded our expectations, too. My girlfriends and I had a great experience and would love to visit again.

The second time, a couple weeks later, I brought my partner for his birthday. We also felt comfortable and were impressed with the attentive service. Through his friends, he heard about their amazing pork chop special and inquired about it. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a special that day. Vincent, (our waiter, again!) checked with the kitchen, and they were able to accommodate. We were lucky, happy, and really impressed. We had such a joyful time. Highly recommend!“
