Best Restaurants with Dancing in Long Branch

We were so surprised to find that Piccola Italia was virtually empty on a Saturday night before Christmas. Ours was one of only about 3 or 4 tables that had anyone at them in the whole place. The food was very good, although pretty pricey I thought. Any time a pasta dish is more than $30 and there is no seafood in it, is nuts. Everyone did enjoy their meals though and our server was wonderful.

Food was great, atmosphere nice, felt upscale but not over the top. For a quiet winter night, was a great place, the fire added to the cold evening!! Worth the 45 minute drive.

Steak too spicy and overcooked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There were special circumstances this year that required we "go out" for Thanksgiving. After our experience several years ago at a different place, I was trying to keep my expectations low. Well, boy was I in for an absolutely delightful surprise! Everyone (and I mean everyone!) could not have been more friendly, welcoming and kind. They were there to assist you and made sure you knew that. The food was incredible and we all enjoyed it thoroughly! I love to taste everything but I have a small "holding tank" - I was able to take tiny amounts of most items and even the serving station people were kind enough to give me a small amount of whatever I wanted. I am not normally much of a sweets person but the TWO TABLES of desserts was too good to pass up. Again, I was able to take tiny amounts of things OR share something with the people I was with. I love to bake and cook, but I would come here again in a heartbeat! It will be difficult to pass up, if we decide to next year. I have been to Ocean Place for many other events and their food and service NEVER disappoints - thank you, we had a great Thanksgiving because of you.

Went here for my birthday !! We had an awesome time I recommend this place !! Food was delicious, waiters were friendly, place was nicely decorated! We will definitely go back.
