Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Freehold

I love everything about this restaurant except for how close the tables are. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and will move the table for you. It’s just very close. Service is impeccable. Food is out of this world. Love the vibe and the music. There is nothing like it in Monmouth county.

This was our second visit here and it certainly did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived we were accommodated immediately. In spite of the fact that the room was full Moments later, we were greeted by the owner, who is very attentive to all his guest Our waiter, Adam, was completely upbeat and anxious to satisfy us, even though we seated at 9:30 PM. The chopped Italian salad was amazing followed by a very special macaroni and vodka sauce apparently how specialty talked with fresh Barata We ordered two steaks for Kansas City and the cowboy Both perfectly cooked served with two sides mashed potatoes and cream spinach. The spinach was exceptional. The mashed potatoes very nice but nothing special. We live about 20 miles from this restaurant. Find it worth the travel 

The restaurant was warm and inviting. Our server was Mickey. He was knowledgeable and attentive. Our food was promptly delivered to us. It was delicious! We split the Artichoke salad then chose the seafood special of 8 fish over spaghetti and veal parmigiana with spaghetti on the side. The dinner did no disappoint. It is difficult to get a reservation because it is such a great restaurant but I will plan ahead.

A new Year’s Day celebration. All was good, as usual, and the waitress was excellent.

This is my new favorite restaurant. Love the charming rustic decor. I feel like we’re in the Pennsylvania countryside when we’re here. The service is phenomenal, the server and the support staff are there whenever you need them. Very friendly and attentive. Now, the food. Absolutely delicious. Best rice balls ever. Honestly, I never liked rice balls until these. Crispy, cheesy delicious! All the salads are exquisitely composed. The way the greens are sliced and perfectly dressed. We had the tricolore with roasted butternut squash (finely chopped) with crispy shallots and cider vinaigrette. I’d had the halibut with lobster cream sauce and lump crab last week, which was a large fresh piece of flaky moist fish. Someone at the next table had the shrimp scampi and I already knew I had to try it this time. It was without question, not even close, the best shrimp scampi of my 50 years. The sauce was the perfect combo of wine lemon and butter. The shrimp were cooked perfectly with a crunchy breadcrumb topping. Oh, the Brussel sprouts side is also a standout. Dessert, don’t bother looking at the menu- just get the graham cracker gelato with a cappuccino, You’ll thank me later; I promise.
