Piccola Italia - Asbury Park

This restaurant is the best in Monmouth County. It surpasses all other restaurants in the area, including Nicholas! It offers a unique take on Italian cuisine, with imaginative and delightful dishes that stand out from the traditional fare found at other Italian places along the shore. The menu also features international influences, especially in the specials. I recently tried the Escargot appetizer and it was amazing. The restaurant is not just known for their Italian dishes, but also for their fantastic burgers, like the one with truffle cheese and perfectly made waffle fries. The option for half portions on some dinners is a great alternative at the bar for those who want to save a few dollars. Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit.

Came bc of gift certificate from work and blown away by the freshness and quality of food and atmosphere. Appetizers: roasted Calamari (next level as your average, romaine Gouda Salat (nice blend of flavors, Burrata Salat (never had mozzarella like this before! So refreshing and smiling in your mouth! Shrimp rigatoni for dinner- very good and homemade pasta was delicious latte and Italian cheesecake for dessert!

Recently had a private party in this restaurant and it could not have been better. The food was amazing, the waiter was great and friendly and the cook or the owner came to thank us and see if everything was good. These people really know how to run a great restaurant and treat their customers. Will definitely be back!! The best chicken stall I ever had.

Celebrate my birthday with my sisters, Carol and Mary. The Veal Chop Parm was delicious. It was huge. Nevertheless, I met the challenge. No dog bag for this 67 years young man. The service was very good. Must go again. Wallace L. Williams

We had a baby shower at this restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. The staff were polite, the venue was lovely, and the food was tasty. It exceeded our expectations.
