Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Breakin Bread on the Boulevard offers a "wonderful family" atmosphere with "incredible food" and a "large variety" of specials. The "friendly" service makes you feel at home, and the "fabulous" dishes like the pistachio cake and veal chop are "to die for." The cozy space can be noisy, but it's worth it for the "best Italian food" experience.

    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!

    We had an AMAZING dinner at Breaking Bread this weekend! The service was perfect. I got there early to arrange plans for a birthday dessert and the servers were so accommodating. The food was FABULOUS. We had several different appetizers and different main courses and we were all blown away by the taste and quality of the dishes. We tried 2 different desserts. We loved both, but the pistachio cake was one of the best desserts we ever had. This will be one of our new favorite places to go when we are in Seaside. P.S. If you're looking for a festive atmosphere the holiday decorations were next level beautiful. Such a great night all around!

    Cute place, tables very close together . I wasn't thrilled with having to leave a $25.00 pp hold on my credit card for my reservation. The beet and goat salad was amazing; however the seafood salad was disappointing; extremely small and only two fish - very small shrimp and very small calamari - pretty tasteless. I am used to seafood salad with mussels, octopus, scallops , red pepper etc. and for $25.00 it was so small too.

    The food is so delicious 😋 I love the stuffed artichoke. The meatballs are big and delicious. For dessert you have to get the ice box cake it really brings back memories of growing up to me. Just a little expensive.

    If you have not experienced Breakin Bread yet it’s a must try. We have eaten here multiple times,and will definitely return. Just a word of caution if spice isn’t your thing like me. The mild vodka sauce was even too much for me last night. Last time I found the angry to be VERY angry. My husband who likes spice has enjoyed both of these though. Other non-spicy sauces have been a better choice for me. The oreganata sauce is fantastic, linguine with clams is to die for. Next time you’re up for Italian give this place a try.
