Live close by and thought this was only a take out pizza shop. Very wrong. It's a great italian restaurant. When you walk in there is a hostess to the left of the pizza oven and take out counter. She led us around a corner and into a very cozy dining room. The servers were great. My lasagna was great. I hardly ever can finish, but this was so good, no take homes. Likewise my wife's entree. Find it, you'll like it.BayHeadTravelinBear Thank your For you Review. We Hope to see you soon!.
7. Lubrano's Trattoria

This place is a hidden gem. Located in a strip mall anchored by a Shop rite supermarket just off Route 34 South in Manasquan. They offer great food and great service in a causal, family dining atmosphere, with an upscale menu and decor. This was our first visit to Lubranoâs Trattoria and we were very impressed.My wife was given a gift card for a meal at Lubranoâs so we decided to use it on a lazy Sunday evening. We arrived at 5PM to a nearly full parking lot but did manage to find an open parking spot close to the restaurant â one of a few spots that night. As we approached the restaurant there were some nice patio furniture â chairs and tables for two with umbrellas - on the sidewalk outside the entrance. The interior of the restaurant was divided into two sections. You enter the restaurant into the smaller section in the front which is a takeout pizzeria that does a brisk business. As we entered, a man at the counter, asked âTo pick up or place an order?â. When we said we were there for the restaurant he told us we had 30 min wait. So, we gave him our names and sat on the patio furniture just outside the door. Then our waitress came out to get us after just a 10 mins. She led us into the back section of the restaurant which was a much larger, upscale dining room with dark, wooden tables and chairs and a wall of red brick with the name Lubranoâs stenciled across it. Tables were arranged in rows to accommodate small and large groups. Our waitress took us to a private table for 4 against the red brick wall. The noise level of the dining room was medium âthere was significant background noise, but not so much that you could not carry on a conversation without shouting. At the start of our meal, our waitress brought us to a plate of pesto to share â that goes with the olive oil that was already on the table - and a basket of toasted, warm French bread to dip in it. The soft bread with the toasted crust dipped in the oil and pesto was delicious. To drink we both ordered the unsweetened, blueberry flavored lemonade we saw someone else drinking at another table. Drinks were served in large plastic cups with straws - which was convenient. Because of their size we did not finish our drinks in the restaurant and took them home with us - cups and all - along with doggy bags of our food at the end of the meal. For entree's, Lubranoâs offers an extensive menu of Italian dishes that goes beyond the standard pizzeria offerings of Lasagna, Meat Balls and Spaghetti, Eggplant Parmesan, etc. The menu even had a section for those who want to eat a low carb meal. I ordered the spicy, garlicky salmon with mash potatoes which was listed as a customer favorite on the low carb menu â you can skip the mash potatoes if you really want this meal to be low carb. My wife ordered the shrimp risotto. My salmon filled a large plate and the mash potatoes were artfully sculpted to look like a white pineapple with green leaves sticking out of the top as a garnish, and it was covered with garlic cloves and red sauce. My wifeâs meal was equally as large with lots of shrimp over a bed of rice. Both meals were huge and delicious. The price for entrees here can run you from $15 to $35 but you get a lot of food for your money. For casual dining the presentation and the food here were more like a fine dining experience, only with a lot more food than you typically get at fine dining restaurants for the price. After eating two thirds of our meal we were stuffed and did not have room for dessert.

Do yourself a favor and get yourself to Deninoâs. One of the best pizzas in the area. Try the Asalute-arugula on a white pie. Outstanding!

Family-owned and operated, we offer authentic, Italian dishes made from scratch. Join us for dinner like our nonna used to make.

We dined here on Thurs. night, 10 May with family. We enjoyed a number of appetizers: Mozzarella Sticks , and the Bruschetta and Fried Calamari which were particularly good. Most chose the Thurs. night special, Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti for only $11! The chicken was moist and tender and the mozzarella hot & stringy. The chicken and spaghetti portions were quite large and we boxed the remains for the next day. The prices are moderate and the service was good. The menu includes seafood and is very interesting. The good food, large portions at low prices, interesting menu and BYOB policy makes Graziano's a top pick!JohnAnnColumbia_MD, glad you're such a fan of our chicken, pasta, and our solid prices and hearty portions! Hope you both come dine with us again real soon, as there's so much on our menu we'd like to share with you. All the best till then!Sincerely,Marcello M.

Spano's Ristorante Italiano is a wonderful little store front restaurant just like you see in Brooklyn, with a quaint interior featuring oversized comfy booths and Italian music to complete the ambiance. The restaurant gets bustling after 6pm, and on week

It doesn't get any better than this! Unbelievable food, large portions, reasonable prices, great service, and Chef Spano personally walking through the restaurant touching tables to make sure his customers are happy . . . plus BYOB.There is usually a wait, but rather than being an annoyance, it is time filled with anticipation of a really great dining experience that has never fallen short of our expectations. (BTW - they have a wine opener and glasses in the waiting area so you can sip your wine while waiting) Spanos is our number 1 favorite restaurant, and by far the best Italian restaurant ever! Almost immediatley after being seated, you are cheerfully welcomed with a plate of bruschetta, and attention to your wine. Service is always friendly and timely. Dinners include a great salad, good Italian bread with a bottle of quality extra virgin olive oil and robust grated cheese on the table. My favorite is Spanos Seafood Fest (shrimp & scallops with crabmeat over pasta) tweaked to be in a spicy vodka sauce w/pancetta over linguini - OMG! It is so rich and flavorfull! I have a huge appetite but always have plenty to take home.My wife's favorite Italian dish is veal picatta, and Spanos nails it every time.If you are at the Jersey shore, and within reasonable driving distance to Point Pleasant, this is a must do restaurant.

We have the pleasure of eating at Cordiâs quite often and are NEVER disappointed!!! The veal parm chop (my husbandâs favorite!) is an absolute must as well as the chicken parm which is my husbandâs second favorite menu item! I go for the âspicyâ and Dominic makes the BEST fra diavolo sauce I have ever tasted...whether itâs served with the sweet, tender lobster tails, mussels or clams...itâs addictive! The restaurant has a lovely ambiance and an outstanding staff. The owners are wonderful people who deserve all the success in the world!
