My family and I spent the last few days at the beach and heard about this restaurant and decided to try it. We came last night for dinner and we loved it here so much that we decided to come today as well for lunch. The staff, food, and the restaurant itself is phenomenal. If you are in the long branch area, I highly recommend stopping by and sitting down for a meal. You will not regret it!! The owner will make you feel at home!

I was in long branch for the weekend and decided to stop by with my family for dinner. The food was incredible, the service was great and the owner Fernando was very friendly and made sure we had the best service. Next time I’m back in the area I will 100% come back in. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Too bad we didn't get to eat. Reviews were good but when we came in at 9pm, they had already started mopping with , fabuloso. We left promptly.. we were not interested in eating food with chemicals in the air.

Love this family owned and operated restaurant. It's a casual dining room and the chef is very accommodating with special diet needs. They have delicious specials and entrees include soup or salad. The bakery they have next door is a special perk! We eat here once a week. BYOB.

This was the worst meal I've been served ever ! The pizza was raw, the veal was like shoe leather, and the pasta was plain and boring. Totally avoid.

If you're looking for Italian cuisine with warm hospitality, this place is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a date night or a relaxed dinner with friends/family. The staff was attentive and courteous.
Food is delicious and portions are generous.
Five stars for excellent food, service, and ambiance. I’ll definitely be back.

Not your typical "pizza place". It is nicely decorated inside, very nice atmosphere. The staff here are on point, very attentive and quick. I got Chicken Saltimboca and my wife got Salmon salad. Both were delicious and generous portions so we took some home. We also got pasta with shrimp and Farfalle con pollo, plus a chicken strombolli for us and kids to have next day and that was all really good. They were having an "all you can eat" brunch on Sunday when we went. Lots of great looking options for a brunch, including fresh made juices and pastries, plus things like eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, hash browns, and lunch items like chicken, shrimp, fried fish, pastas, even nuggets for kids. The owner was nice and let me try a meatball which of course very tasty. They also have a bakery attached and everything there looked amazing. Will definitely go back, maybe bring kids for the brunch. There were other families in there. Not what I expected for a strip mall pizzeria. It is really nice and the meals are delicious!

I would never return to that place, on December 11, 2024, it was my first time there and I bought a type of bread filled with mozzarella and chorizo, the inside of the chorizo was green and moldy, disgusting the way to waste money there. No wonder the owner offered me the salami filling, this one is from today, I mean the one I bought had been made for centuries. And the simple lemonade, it seemed like just water with sugar and ice.
We’ve been to this place a few times, and I just went again. We had slices of pepperoni pizza, escarole and beans, fried shrimp, and meatballs. All the dishes were excellent and met my expectations!
The pizza has a New York-style taste but is served in New Jersey—really tasty! They also have a variety of pizza slices, as you can see in the pictures.
The appetizers were great! The fried shrimp came with a delicious tartar sauce that tasted homemade.
The meatballs were soft, with a slight crisp, and paired with excellent tomato sauce—very impressive!
The escarole and beans are my partner’s favorite dish here (he’s Italian), and it’s done perfectly.
The garlic knots are my absolute favorite from this place. I don’t think I’ll ever find another spot that tastes similar—unbeatable! Highly recommend!
There’s also a bakery next door owned by the owner’s wife. Be sure to check it out after dinner!
The staff and owner are soooo nice—they made us feel so welcomed and comfortable! I love the Italian atmosphere, as you can see in the pictures. The bathroom is clean!!
Parking: No problem with finding parking at all!
