    We were greeted right away when we entered, the Restaurant and seated at our table. The restaurant is decorated for the holidays for sure! Although everything is beautiful and the servers are incredibly nice and friendly! The food is the main attraction! Everything we ordered was delicious! Had I not left my phone in the car I would have taken pictures! A must at the Jersey Shore!

    Third time at this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The food and service are always impecable with fresh ingredients and great flavors. The owner greets us at the table and engaged in a pleasant conversation. Very reasonable priced for the quality, added by the fact that it is BYOB. Highly recommended.

    This was our first visit since they reopened under the Amore name. Great to see familiar surroundings and menu. The food was great, as always and the service was very hands on. Owner, Ken, makes it a point to walk around table to table talking with diners. We will certainly be returning soon.

    Food was very good. Server was attentive but lacked personality. Good vibe but very noisy even before the 2 man band. We love this place though. You won’t be disappointed.
