The Poached Pear was such a delight. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate- freshly set up for the holiday season and the staff was warm and accommodating. Everything on the menu sounded wonderful, but we chose the garlic shrimp, crab cake appetizer, the chicken and the NY strip steak. We were definitely impressed with the … More The Poached Pear Bistro – Point Pleasant, New Jersey
We love the concept of restaurant week. The events and restaurant participants allow for people to indulge in food and experiences they’ve never had before and/or give fans a reason to return. Restaurant week happens twice a year and each season, we try to be involved in the hype. We would attend every event if … More Jersey Shore Restaurant Week Fall 2016 – Regions of Italy Tour
After being recommended by various friends, we finally made it over to Pasta Volo. We knew we would enjoy this place, but we didn’t know just how impressed we would be!

Our dining experience at Stella Marina was truthfully a trip back to Italy. From the wine to the fresh pasta, all while relaxing outside on the boardwalk- this last minute invitation could not have been anymore worth it! The house Pinot Noir was both dry and smooth and did not have even a bit of … More Stella Marina – Asbury Park, New Jersey
Antonio’s is always an affordable and a reliable night out. Their dinner prices are fair and it is impossible to rack up a liquor bill since it is BYOB. Instead, you can arrive with all of the booze you’d like and drink it in quantities of your choosing. We dined in this restaurant once in … More Antonio’s Trattoria – Wall, New Jersey

Everyone knows that although a photo shoot where you are holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa and a gondola ride passed St. Marcs Square are memorable; it is the eating agenda that surpasses all experiences in “Eataly”. Croissants for breakfast, pizza and focaccia sandwiches for lunch, and pasta for dinner- it’s a carb … More 10 Days in Italy: The Real Carb Loading
You know a restaurant is top notch when every single ingredient is exceptional. This is what really makes Talula’s stand out from other pizza establishments.

If there was a campsite attached to the Joe Leone’s kitchen, I would bring my bed (and my cats) and move there. There are truly no words to describe the quality and the taste of these Italian specialty dishes. I just discovered this place about two years ago. Natalie, again, has been eating there her … More Joe Leone’s – Sea Girt and Point Pleasant, New Jersey
