“A small Italian deli. Carries a broad variety of prepared foods. Lots of breads, olives and antipastos. Some items looked very special like their eggplant towers, their fried flounder cutlets and their eggplant and long hot dish.I took lots of pics.They make sandwiches to order, but no dine-in.It has a sister restaurant in Seaside.Not cheap, but few good Italian delis are. :-)“

Great fried calamari, meatballs and mussels for apps. And the entrees were huge and delicious. Would have never had guessed this from a small storefront in a strip center. Great vibe…highly recommend!“

“Recently enjoyed a business lunch at this wonderful restaurant. I had the chicken parmigiana which was perfectly cooked and served with linguini. The fresh filet was wonderfully thin and the breading was light and crisp. The entree was served with a choice of soup or salad. I had the soup - a beef barley that was kitchen crafted with a thick broth that was rich in flavor. Others at our table sampled differing items on the menu. All were authentic and presented well.I would strongly recommend going out of your way for this fine restaurant.“

The lobster and octopus are high points!Lobster is cooked good, served in many dishes and you don’t have to put much effort into getting to the meat.The octopus is a thick fine meat and almost taste like a steak. It’s very good! So is the lobster and pasta dishes. There are much more on the menu and you can fill up for days for a good price!I should have worked here… sorrry I missed the interview Wednesday. Lots going on! Good luck in New Jersey we love you guys!“

“The cheesecakes were absolutely stellar. Perfect NY style, creamy and rich. The staff were very friendly and attentive. For appetizers we had the Nonna's meatballs which tasted like they were slow cooked in sauce all day and delicious. I needed a pinch of salt but my tastes are salt heavy. The Italian empanadas were stuffed with chicken cacciatore but we're a little bland, they came with 2 sauces that were amazing, a red pepper and a gremolata. I would rather the gremolata on ANYTHING. We also had the short rib ragu papardelli. The sauce was very red wine forward for me, but the meat was melt in your mouth tender. Overall, a very good meal.“

Other than that it was a great experience“

Great pizza, sub, entree dinners, appetizers, zeppolis, never got a bad dish. Chicken tenders are actual strips of breaded chicken breast and not the frozen kind, so it's a must on every order, with the marinara for dip is best way.“

So many people I know are always looking for a great caterer nearby , including for Clubhouse dances. We had to go all the way to Brick to have it catered. I couldn’t check off both boxes but our entrees were between 19.00 and 30.00.“
