Can't wait to return to try other menu options.“

What truly made our visit stand out, though, was the outstanding service. Our hostess, Anna, was exceptional — welcoming, attentive, and incredibly friendly. She made us feel right at home and added a personal touch that made the experience even more special.

If you’re a fan of seafood or just looking for a great place to enjoy top-tier rolls and fantastic service, Mason’s is the spot. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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!“
