Last night my wife and I went there and started with an appetizer we had the last time Fig & Goat Cheese Bruschetta. Four excellently prepared little towers of fig and cheese over the bread. Now I am not a fig fan, but this was great and a nice start to the meal. For the entree I had baked lasagna which is an Italian classic and one of my favorites. This had plenty of meat with ricotta and fresh mozzarella. This was a nice light meal and enough that I only ate half of last night. My wife had the Cannelloni / Manicotti which was another baked dish with very similar ingredients. This had a bit less pasta but a combination that was really great. This was served in a plate almost the size of a small boat and there was no way she was finishing it. We went in on a Friday night and being the July 4th weekend we immediately were at a table. They quickly served bread with an EVO oil and spices that were really good. Kirstin was our server and she had the answers to all our questions and steered us to the perfect dinner. There was also a guy cleaning plates and he was quite personable talking about the meals. With a slower then usual Friday we at in an area with probably only 8 other tables. There was at least one more are with other tables that allowed for a quite ambiance to eat in with lower noise. One of my pet peeves is eating in a place where you fight to hear the people at the table in conversation. This was not the case This restaurant is now in our Wall area for better food, at an extremely reasonable price and you should stop and give them a shot read more

Last night, we finally stopped into this authentic BYOB Italian restaurant after passing it dozens of times, and what a wonderful surprise it was. We started with the rice balls as an appetizer, and they were absolutely outstanding. The very first bite instantly brought me back to my Nonna's kitchen. ~ the same comforting, authentic flavor I remember growing up. It's the first time I've had rice balls in a restaurant that truly tasted like hers. Our waiter, Riccardo, was attentive, informative, and incredibly friendly, which made the experience even better. The food was fantastic. My husband had the Sunday Sauce and said it was outstanding, and I had the Cavatelli and Broccoli, cooked to perfection! Everything about the evening exceeded our expectations. Do yourself a favor and order the rice balls ~ you won't regret it. If you're looking for authentic Italian, that taste like it came straight from a Nonna's kitchen, this is your place. We will definitely be back! read more

Excellent Italian food, great ambience in the restaurant itself. An excellent stop for intimate dinner.

Cute place but not a fan of the chicken Murphy. Whatever sweet peppers they use has an awful sweet taste. It ruined the whole dish. I said nothing not to make a friend who recommended it feel bad but it was hard to eat. I literally skipped around the plate but it was all infused with that horrible taste in the sauce that was sickeningly sweet The artichoke Francese was good and great bread tho! read more

Food is always spot on. A little disappointed they removed chicken savoy from menu. Servers always efficient and friendly.

Food service and ambiance always a 10 out of 10! We dine here and I also cater from here ! Highly recommend!

Went there with a friend. Service was quick. Food was really good. But I'd really like to comment on the young lady who served us. I believe her name was Tara. She was super sweet and really attentive. She appeared to be very young but was extremely mature and professional. I would go back for the food but would definitely come back for the service. read more

We have driven by for years. Someone told me they have an amazing chopped salad. Well they do. And everything else we ordered was just delicious. My husband ordered paella filled with fresh seafood. Portions are big. Bring a bottle of wine. read more

We would just like to take this opportunity to thank our waitress Vicki and the manager, Liv for the outstanding way they took care of the six of us during our dinner at the restaurant..... my wife has celiac disease and they were extremely knowledgeable, attentive and make sure everything met or exceeded our expectations. This was not our first time at Antonio's and everything has always been fantastic but last night was very special the way they took care of my wife and her dietary requirements. Thank you again and we will be back soon. read more

1 star because it is a beautiful restaurant. 0 stars for food. However I cannot believe how crowded it was and have to assume it was a lot of first timers like us because the food was terrible. Ok i will start with the food that was good-fried calamari. I supposed the mozz sticks were ok but like $16 for 4 is insane. Bread was good. One of us (a non Italian) had the sunday gravy and he liked it. We also ordered chicken parm, pasta bolognese, ravioli and lasagna. The red sauce was too salty and too sweet. But the 0 star of the show was the lasagna. It was so bad. The noodles were so mushy, sauce awful and it had like a bbq char flavor that was really off putting. No ricotta. Just so bad. Although the waiter was super friendly he was so busy so we did not see him often. Bill was $190. Never again. read more

Never... This restaurant was the worst. My wife's Salmon was overcooked, brussel sprouts were burnt and the rice was gummy, not flaky. I ordered the flounder francese which was o erloaded with lemon juice. Garlic bread had a ton of pepper on it with hardly any garlic. The only thing that was good was the Tartufo because they didn't make it. Waiter was a no expression, unfriendly man. Overall disaster and a disappointment... read more

If I could give it less stars I would. This used to be my go to place for Italian food, but I think Labrano's Trattoria down the street has a new regular. These prices are absurd.I got two items a chicken soup and clams vongol, and a grand total of $41. Unless they're getting their plates shipped straight from Italy there's no reason for it to be this expensive by all means do not go here unless you wanna get robbed. I just came back from a trip to Italy and there wasn't a single time. A plate of clams on goal was more than $20. read more

Darn good, a nice mix of standard Italian American food with enough authentic dishes to make it legit. Who doesn't love a byob spot? Pleasant, helpful staff. read more

While the food is very good, recent changes makes us take this off our go to place. What Italian restaurant doesn't give a small salad with meal? They used to give a nice Cesar but no more. Serving size is about half of what it used to be, I mean we counted six pieces of rigatoni my gosh it's pasta. The sauces are great so buy those if you can and make your own pasta. We've gone to this every time we are with friends in the area, but will likely move on. read more

One of our favorites. Delicious. Excellent service. Wonderful to work with when I had a small dinner party celebration, and just ad good for weekend or weeknight dinners. Will always go back! read more

We recently had our mother's 90th birthday celebration here. I can't say enough good things about the staff and how pleasant and accommodating they were. Gia was a doll to work with and our waitresses were top notch. The food was delicious! I would highly recommend Antonio's to anyone planning a special celebration read more

The food was tastefully prepared with generous portions, scallops wrapped in bacon with a light lemon cream sauce.Sunday gravy with meatballs & sausage. Both tasty. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. The dining areas are tastefully decorated filled with many diners. The booths are a little tight and the a/c was on and a bit chilly. We will go back for the friendly atmosphere and great food at reasonable prices. read more

I like to try different things. I had not eaten Veal Saltimbocca in a while, so I gave it a shot. I have to say it was the worst. The prosciutto was very salty, and the Marsala sauce was not cooked down enough. I could still taste the alcohol. This along with the fact that I asked the waiter three times for more dipping olive oil, before I received it. However, to be fair the rice balls along with the Calamari, and Fig & Goat Cheese Bruschetta were very good. Anything with sauce is a safe bet. Hope the helps. read more

Ordered a large plain for take out last night for dinner. Service staff was really friendly and the ambiance was really nice. Crust was tasty and cooked really nice, good char. So why 3 stars? It was so salty I couldn't finish the second slice. Others in my party agreed, I ended up throwing it out. I think it was the cheese, although there was lots of it. maybe a cheap brand? read more

Food was good. Suggestion, chef needs to come up with a new & better recipe for Mozzarella & Carrozza app as it was just a breadcrumb coated large block of cheese . Staff Service was excellent! Very attentive. Ambiance was fine. read more

A local resident recommended this restaurant and I'm glad she did! We had 5:30 PM reservations and we were seated right away. Ambience is beautiful. Staff was very attentive. Some of the pastas are homemade. The marinara sauce was very light and flavorful, salad was fresh and the balsamic vinaigrette was creamy and not acidic tasting. Portion was very large. Shrimp and mussels did not disappoint over a large bed of homemade pasta. read more

I have yet to dine in with Antonio's, I am mostly a door dash customer. I work in a restaurant, so the last thing I want to do at the end of the day is go into another restaurant. I have lived in Belmar for the last 8 months, and I order from here all the time because I know the quality of the food is amazing. Unfortunately, I did have a mishap this evening with steak temperatures, & one of the managers did something I did not expect for a DD order. He reached out to me personally, and let me know how long the restaurant has been in business, and how important it is for them to strive to maintain good customer relationships. Let me tell you, I am a DD girl, for reasons listed above. Not a single manager of any establishment has ever reached out to me, to find out why my experience wasn't satisfactory- for a take out order! These are the kind of businesses that deserve recognition, for actually caring about their customers. Even ones like me who may only ever be a take out customer. Thank you for professionalism, kindness, & respect. No lost business here. (Ps. You will never have better bread from anywhere else than from here: I'm Italian with home cook grandparents off the boat, but damn.) read more

We absolutely love Antonio's. Such a great family owned restaurant that provides fresh, and delicious Italian style meals! We have been here many times and every time we are blown away. The restaurant is very nice and quaint. It's not a huge place so I would recommend reservations for the weekends but it's definitely worth the wait. Food is always outstanding and they always have new items and specials to choose from. We started off with the antipasto for 2 which was such a generous portion size and so fresh and delicious. My husband had gotten the buffalo shrimp app and that was hands down one of our favorite dishes ever. For dinner I had a chicken special which was perfectly cooked and so full of flavor and hubby got the gnocchi. Do not skip dessert!!! It's totally worth it!!! Staff is always very nice and friendly!!! We can't wait to come back!!! read more

The cold antipasto was excellent and the chicken Murphy was primo. Ashley was a good server. The only negative i see here was the noise level was deafening between the piped music and the crowded seats. It has been a few years since I ate here. read more

3.99% credit card fee is ridiculous for so so Italian food. Better options available.

Picked up take out today and it was awful. Eggplant parm. Very sad! First of all I thought a salad comes with it. Second, it said $19 on menu but was $25 and change. The sauce tasted like ragu...just gross. Spaghetti was like out of a can. Just very disappointing! Don't think I will go back. :( I was going to take a photo but I was hungry...no fork in the bag. read more

Enjoyed a delicious meal at this BYOB. The restaurant is romantically lit and the ambiance that of an old school Italian place. The waitress was kind and honest. I had the gluten free pizza and we shared the chopped Greek antipasto salad. Everything was delicious. Also, I didn't get sick! All in all a great experience and we will return. read more

BRAVO! read more

Antonio's Trattoria - Magnificent pie..cant wait to eat one in the restaurant! Cooked perfectly to my request! - Italian Near Me - Manasquan, New Jersey

The food was disappointing. The artichoke Francese was not good. Artichoke undercooked and the sauce was weak. Mozzarella in Carozza was made like a slice of mozzarella with bread crumbs. I had the veal parmigiana which was disappointing because the veal was cooked perfectly and tender but the sauce tasted like hunts straight out of the can! Terrible! The service was good even though they mixed up our party reservations. The place was very nice with a nice ambiance to it. I'm sorry but I won't recommend this place. read more

Very good food. Great service. I like this restaurant for a small number of people. It can get loud and it's difficult to have a conversation if you have a bigger group. We went as a family (7) and I couldn't talk to everyone because I could only hear those very close to me. (My 26 yr old son said the same thing, so not my hearing) read more

We have gotten several dishes from Antonio's and they are consistently delicious! I normally get the eggplant rollatini. But, I tried the meat lasagna and I think it might be my new go to!! The s'mores dessert pizza hit the spot!! They give you a rosemary bread that I could eat a loaf myself! We normally order Togo. But, we went in early summer for a baptism. The services was great! The restaurant is clean! During the baptism I had the chicken franchise and it was delicious! read more

If you are debating if you should eat here, don't debate, just go! We are here for the first time tonight and from the appetizers to the bread to the salads to the entrees to the dessert, everything was just delicious! Also the servers were friendly, the waters were filled continuously (even though they were busy) and dirty plates were taken away quickly and with a pleasant smile! Prices were very reasonable, the menu had a lot of options and they took reservations (which were ready on time when we got there). I had the chicken cordon bleu and it may have been my favorite cordon blue ever! I also recommend the caramel apple pie for dessert. It was tasty yet light and capped off the meal wonderfully. I wish I had pictures to share but we just went through everything so quickly. I highly recommend! read more

The food is good! Unfortunately I ordered the chicken parm and they only give you 1 piece of chicken. I was very surprised by the small portions. read more

Antonio's Trattoria Had a tough go on Easter Sunday. Wound up not making it to dinner. Crazy long day. Too long to wait. Antonio personally called and apologized. Respect that. Moving on... read more

Very disappointing. Portion size, food quality and price sub par at best. What used to be a local favorite is now out of the rotation. Much better spots in the area.....truly a shame. Service was stellar....keep it up!!! read more

My family and I have been going to and ordering takeout from Antonio's for about 11 years. We have always loved the food and the overall value. Tonight we spent $68 on takeout that consisted of Ravioli Al Forno (baked ravioli), Spaghetti & Sausage, and Calamari Marinara. For our $68 we got 4 ravioli, a dreadfully small amount of spaghetti to go with sausage, and a nice sized Calamari Marinara meal. The dinners were tasty (if you like eating sausage and sauce) but two of us are still very hungry and feel ripped off after eating our appetizer sized dinners. Is there a pasta shortage that we're not aware of or do we need to look for a new Italian restaurant? read more

4 star central jersey Italian fare, a cut above the usual Italian in the area, large portions and a nice atmosphere for the family. So this is what you get, you definitely have a solid spot here for Italian food, even for picky eaters. You're going to get those large portions of really high-quality food. You're gonna have a really nice atmosphere as well. You won't be disappointed with any of the courses. The salad was nice and fresh and large. The group also ordered a wide righty of Italian dishes. Anywhere from pasta Bolognese, chicken Marsala etc. I remember being happy we picked the spot based on yelp reviews. We weren't expecting to be blown away, we also didn't want to have average food either. And that's what we found here. The atmosphere is really nice as well. It feels like sort of a family restaurant more than anything else. Where you might bring groups including large groups of family. I definitely recommend the spot if you're looking for a good Italian in the area. read more
