The layered melanzane was good, but that probably isn't fair since I usually like my eggplant a little thicker. This one was thin so they could layer it. I'm sure the did it perfect because it wasn't watery or anything. It just wasn't my favorite dish from a personal flavors perspective.My friend shared a bite of the Pollo Limone and that was absolutely excellent!

The employees are very friendly and have a great work ethic. The food was delicious, our appetizer was really good, and my pasta for dinner was freshly made. ? My daughters chicken was super tender. The restaurant was comfortable. The only thing that concerned me (which is an easy fix on their part) the lack of gloves in the kitchen. I happened to be facing the kitchen and noticed the ladies that do the last-minute touches on the appetizers were touching the sink and handles, cooking equipment, etc. The young girl was using her cellphone and scratching her face, then touching food. The only time water touched their hands was washing dishes. I also noticed the chefs did not have gloves on as well. Other than that everything was great. Would I eat there again, ? I'm not sure. If the people cooking and handling your food with no gloves doesnt bother you, they go and try it.

Meatballs, meatballs, meatballs. To die for... Absolutely stunning and superb service. Love this place while staying here. Had Meatballs three times over two days. Could not resist. That said please make sure there's some for me when I arrive next time. (Did I mention the meatballs!)

We had a party of 13 . The reservation was made Feb 11th for March 2nd . It was a birthday celebration.I was called 4 days beforehand and told they couldn't accommodate 13 people ! What ?After much discussion the girl informed me that we could be vaccinated inside the dining room . I was going to be sitting in their beer garden . Which basically is a room with canvas and plastic , space heaters and a concrete floor . * Be aware they use this room all winter & reservations online are placed in either the dining room or out there . So request where you want to be !!They gave us a reservation for the dining room . It was my first time there . Tables were close but not crowded . It's a loud bar atmosphere.The service was great , apps and dinner came out warm & in a timely manner .We had a party of 13 , 4 kids ( non drinkers & 3 adults ( non drinkers ) .2 had a glass of wine & 4 others had been. We ordered margherita pizza app, burrata , & 2 other appsWe had chicken cutlets fir 3 kids , several pizzas , 6 pastas for dinner . Bill with tip was $800.Nothing was bad , but it wasn't great for that amount . I know it only comes to $57 per person or so but with alot of non drinkers and kids I think the place is over priced .Most wine was $17 & I personally think there are better options in Red Bank . It's not fine dining and forth is atmosphere I feel the food is overpriced . Just my opinion . Not headed back anytime soon . * Servers for our table were excellent . Pizza's were unique & very flavorful .Vegetarian options: You can order a pasta that is vegetarian. Not on the menu

Great food, service and atmosphere. The only thing they could do better is bring back the happy hour they had pre-Covid. That was legendary!
I have dined here twice now. They have huge portions, even for lunch, great flavor be ready to take home leftovers. They do offer homemade gluten-free pasta. It's delicious. They do not offer gluten- free pizza while that's is upsetting, I respect business who know what they do well and stick to that. Hopefully, this year, they will try again at making, testing a gluten-free.I ordered one Aperol spritz, at$17.00. I will pass on that next time.

Food is excellent and service is great however… WHAT?…….WHAT?!….. WHAT?!! The speaker over the table was unbearably loud and the server said they were not allowed to touch the volume because the owner will not allow it. Yelling to the person across the table at dinner is no fun at all, ruined the entire experience. Turn the music down and get 5 stars.

Another great restaurant in Red Bank. A must go on your list for Italian food. Service was great, and so was the food. We will be back.Btw you can sit at the bar and eat if you don't have reservations, especially if you are a party of 2.
Really cute spot! Sat at the bar for a bit with my friend and was taken care of by Jenn, who was super sweet and attentive. She gave really great wine recommendations and helped us pick which menu items we should share. She made a point to make the experience personal and was polite about the restaurant’s kitchen hours when we had been sitting for a bit. Overall great first experience here. Pasta was AMAZING! Tried the mafaldine and the fusili and it was what my soul needed! Pasta fixes everything. I will be coming back!
