The food was great here. Came on a Saturday night without a reservation and I was able to find a spot by the bar as well as get a table for four. Service was great and the food was equally amazing. We had a pizza, the eggplant pasta and the burrata pasta. It was all so good. The place was busy and cozy. The vibe was great. I would definitely be back! read more

4.75 for high quality food that is just missing that exceptional wow factor to push it to 5 stars. Service was timely, friendly and had a warm feeling. Ambiance was casual with families, couples, etc. There is a good amount of seating inside but reservations are highly recommended. 1. Wine list - Huge huge Italian wine list with smaller names and unfamiliar names. Did my research and got a bottle of rosso montalcino ($69) which was excellent to pair 2. Meatballs - tender, doesn't fully fall apart but light and almost melts in your mouth. Sauce is light but full of flavor 3. Eggplant parm - not spicy even though supposed to be spicy rigatoni with it. Huge portion. Took half home. Pasta was delicious with enough sauce and al denté as I like 4. Tiramisu - one of the better ones I've had. Not alcoholic. Moist and excellent balance of layers. Shaved chocolate on top is a nice touch 5. Chocolate torte - deliciously creamy and lighter than I thought. Full chocolate flavor. Comes with a fior di latte gelato which was high quality. Overall an excellent high quality Italian dinner. No wonder why it's hard to get weekend reservations. Highly recommended and will definitely be back when in Red Bank and craving Italian. read more

Birravino - Italian Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

I'm giving it a 5 stars Bec the service was awesome. Our server was very attentive and constantly checks on us. The meatballs was very tender , well balanced with the tomato sauce that's not too acidic. The sauce was not heavy at all and I love the fresh basil. The chicken parm , which I don't normally order was recommended by the server and did not disappoint. It was tender, moist chicken cutlet with crispy, flavorful breading, balanced by a vibrant, not too salty or acidic marinara sauce and, melted mozzarella, served with rigatoni. The desserts we got were super delicious and not too sweet. We had a 5 pm reservation and was able to self park on their lot. read more

Had a fantastic lunch with my family, yesterday. Davide was our server and he was awesome. Made us laugh and was very attentive. We sat in the outside room next to the main restaurant and it was so relaxing. I loved the decor and it was the perfect setting. The food was absolutely amazing. True Italian food. As a Vegan, I had enough to eat. Wish I lived near here, because it would be my go-to for a great day or night out. read more

I really wanted to love this place, especially after hearing so much about it, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. The space itself is beautiful, I especially loved the covered outdoor area, which is really well done. That being said, the overall experience fell short. Our reservation was canceled just minutes before we arrived, and with no explanation of why that happened and then when we got there, no one greeted us at the entrance, which didn't set the best tone. As for the food, it looked promising but missed the mark. The calamari were dry and lacked flavor, the Caesar salad was underwhelming in both presentation and taste, and the spicy rigatoni, which I had really high hopes for was just okay and didn't stand out. It wasn't the experience I had hoped for, and my group of five all felt the same way. It's also pricey for what you get! With so many other great spots to try in the area, I probably wouldn't return. read more

I cannot enough about this place! The entire experience was 10/10 !! The host was welcoming and gave us the option of seeing the other side so we can pick which room we preferred. Our waitress was so helpful and was on point with the recommendations as far as food and drinks. We ordered a few appetizers and got two meals. Each plate was better than the next. ! I highly recommend the eggplant Parm and the spicy Bolognese . All the pasta is handmade as well as the mozzarella and you can definitely tell it's fresh and absolutely delicious! I also ordered an espresso martini, and it was perfect! Whether you're going for a girls night out or date night or just for good food I highly recommend Birravino and I will definitely be back read more

Birravino never disappoints! The ambiance is warm and lively, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. I had the cozze oreganata to start - absolutely delicious, and you must use the bread to soak up every bit of that amazing sauce. For mains, the burrata pizza and the Sunday Sauce were both outstanding. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. A fantastic dining experience from start to finish! Highly recommend. read more

Found this place on Resy and decided to come try it out for a little date night. We had a reservation so we were sat immediately. My partner and I both loved the decor in here. It felt like we were at someone's home for dinner. We also were fans of the open kitchen concept they had, we could see all the ingredients they use, the pasta being made, and the chefs at work. Throughout the restaurants they had plants and fun trinkets hanging up on the walls. My partner also wanted me to include how he loved this bike rack hanging on the ceiling, it did look super cool. The restrooms were clean, everything was super tidy in here! I wish we remembered the name of our server because he was spectacular. He had such an amazing personality, made us laugh, made sure we had everything we needed, and make sure we were taken care of!! The free bread was a 4/5: it was a good texture but I felt like the sesame taste was overpowering. Calamari was a 5/5: perfectly breaded and cooked. I love calamari it's one of my go to appetizers. And this one was perfect. It was tender, not too chewy, and well seasoned. At other restaurants I've been to, it was too cooked where the squid would shrivel and detach from the calamari but this one was AMAZING. If I wasn't saving my stomach for my pasta I would've ate the whole plate. The prosciutto e melone was a 3/5. It was a good flavor combination between the savoriness of the prosciutto, sweetness of the melon, topped with the herbiness of the mint. A very refreshing bite, but it wasn't anything insane, it's just melon and prosciutto at the end of the day, it was good to try but I wouldn't order again. My partner got the Mezzo Rigatoni and he relates it a 4.5/5. He loved the texture of the rigatoni, which I agree with, it was the perfect Al dente. He liked the flavor of the red sauce although he notes that even though the sauce was good it overpowered the flavor of the eggplant and couldn't taste the eggplant that much. But he says regardless of that the sauce was super good and he loved it. I got the Ragu Di Brasato and I give it a 4/5. Like I said previously, I LOVE the pasta texture. My sauce was kind of like a beef stew which was something I've never tried before as a pasta. I liked the hazelnut bits throughout the sauce that gave it a bit of a crunch and the beef was super tender. The sauce was pretty good but it was a little salty for my taste, but it could be my fault as I had a good amount of Parmesan added on top when the waiter came by. I wish we were able to get dessert but we were too full. But we were satisfied with our food and the server we had made the experience even better read more

Consistent and tasty. One of my favorite go to places around. Always good service too.

Listen up - This may just be the best restaurant of the year for me (I'm aware it's only March) Everything was amazing. From the moment we sat down, to the moment we left. The ambiance of this restaurant, paired with a great menu selection and friendly staff, made this restaurant one I'll be dreaming of for days to come till I return back. We started with a Cesar salad to share and a margarita pizza. The salad was delicious - I love a good Cesar. The pizza was unreal. So fresh and delicious. Best restaurant pizza I've ever had. I then had an Aperol spritz and an eggplant for my main dish. That meal was 20/10. The eggplant was cooked to perfection and laid over a bed of house made pasta. I can't wait to get my hands on this dish again. My husband had the lemon chicken and enjoyed it too. He did state that my meal was phenomenal and he would order that next time. Ended the night with a raspberry tart and a cheesecake. Woah - these are not your regular defrosted desserts like at other places. These two desserts were so fresh. You don't want to miss out on these when you're here. Honestly, I can continue rave about this place, but go dine for yourself and enjoy the experience. Looking forward to returning back. read more

What a beautiful restaurant! The vibes almost compete with the food- I said almost lol. We went with a party of six. They accommodated every need for each person seamlessly. The waitress Marie was so friendly. She had great information and recommendations. Every person with me said the meal was the best they ever had. I got the eggplant and it was so fresh and flavorful. It was made with marinara on the eggplant and placed on fresh pasta which is glazed with their spicy vodka sauce... the result is delicious. To add to the meal, Marie told us the pasta is handmade there...and the mozzarella is made fresh every morning! The food is well worth the price point. It's a great time there. The restaurant is high class and has great food and service! Another great time with great food at Birravino. read more

My second time at Birravino and it was somehow even better than the first! The service was incredible, our waitress answered every question we had and offered some wonderful recommendations. The food was even better this time, everything was so fresh and it all exceeded my expectations. This is a great place for friends, family, or even a date night- just be sure to make a reservation ahead of time because it is popular. I think this may be my new go to Italian spot in NJ! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed this spot for dinner before a show at Count Basie theater. The service was quick and the food was even better.

Service and ambiance were excellent, and the staff made for a very pleasant evening. The food was good, but at these prices I was really expecting more. My pork chop was expensive, somewhat tough, and surprisingly underseasoned. The Caesar salad promised anchovy, but lacked the salty depth you expect from a really good Caesar. My husband's Rigatoni Burrata also felt muted -- the fresh basil never really came through. There seems to be a pattern of dishes needing a bit more seasoning and punch. Some relatively small changes in the kitchen could elevate this place considerably! read more

I have been before can't go wrong. They do some business here. Good food good service nice selection. My only gripe which is a result of being popular the parking sucks. Can't have everything. read more

I'd go 5 stars but the place is quite loud-food terrific, waitstaff professional and correct, food tasty, average prices for the area, ample parking. With four cocktails, a bottle of wine, apps and entrees all around, it came all in at $100/per person. Good value. read more

I went to Birravino with a friend as a "halfway" meeting point. We went on a Thursday and it was quite busy! However, we were definitely not forgotten. Our server was attentive to us and made sure we had everything we need. The restaurant itself gives off an industrial cozy vibe (which I didn't know existed!). We each got a glass of Sauvignon blanc and it was really tasty. Their Caesar salad was EXCELLENT! I got a pasta dish and my friend got the chicken. Overall it was a good experience, we will be back! read more

Not impressed! Eggplant with rigatoni, meh. Eggplant piled too densely, pizza soso and meatballs not up to snuff. Overrated!

I went here with my girlfriend after she had been excited to try it for a while, and we finally decided to go. Before coming in, I called ahead and put my card down so the bill wouldn't come to the table, which is something I've done before at other restaurants. I was told a manager would be notified and take care of it. We arrived on a Tuesday around 7 PM, and it wasn't busy at all, but we were seated in a corner and our server was barely around throughout the night. I ordered the chicken parm and asked if it could be made a little spicy. The server told me he would just bring red pepper flakes to the table instead. My girlfriend ordered the spicy rigatoni. The food came out very quickly, but I never got the red pepper flakes, and the sauce on my chicken parm was really underwhelming and lacked flavor. The pasta was also undercooked. About halfway through my meal, the server finally asked if I still wanted the red pepper flakes. My girlfriend's rigatoni honestly wasn't good either. She barely ate it, and when I brought the leftovers home, my family tried it and everyone said it tasted like Kraft mac and cheese. At that point, I was already disappointed with the experience, but the worst part was at the end of the meal. We declined dessert, and then our server dropped the check on the table and walked away, even after I had specifically called ahead to avoid that situation. It was kind of the cherry on top of feeling unappreciated and uncared for as a customer the entire night. I can count on one hand the number of times our server came to the table, and I'd be a lot more understanding if the restaurant had been busy, but it really wasn't. I've talked to a lot of people who have had great experiences here, so maybe this was just an off night, but unfortunately it was both my first and last time coming here. read more

Birravino is another amazing restaurant with the same owners as Pastavino in Staten Island. The food was incredible. The eggplant parm is a huge serving and I wound up taking some home. Inside is very dimly lit and perfect for a great date night spot. Our waiter was a kind older gentlemen but the only problem I had was that I heard all of the other waiters reading specials of the night to the customers and ours did not mention anything and we had already ordered before we heard the other waiters mentions there were specials available. Overall I would definitely come back to birravino. read more

Incredible atmosphere. Went for a dinner with my fiancee and for a dinner with a group of fiends on separate occasions. The setting and service are great for both situations. For starters, you cannot go wrong with the cheese plate/charcuterie board. Other than that, I really love the rustic vibes here. The restaurant feels like a quaint tavern - which I think is one of best parts of the experience at birravino. Of course, all of the food is very good. And the drinks/cocktails are all great too. read more

I have been there once for lunch and once for dinner. The food is excellent (try the eggplant) and the service is outstanding.

Pizza: 1/5 Service: 5/5 Dessert: 5/5 Did not enjoy the pizza here. Flavors didn't stand out it any way. Pizza was floppy and moist from way too much sauce. Probably because they used cherry tomatoes. I ordered a margarita but what I got didn't resemble a traditional margarita. Dessert tart was great! read more

The total in our party was 6 people. We had reservations, which I highly recommend. We decided this restaurant before going to a show. The restaurant has a stylish ambiance and a comfortable vibe. When you walk in there's an area glass enclosed where you can see them making homemade raviolis, which brings back great memories of our trip to Italy. Our waitress was spectacular and very personable. Our party started out with cocktails, we all ordered a different meal, which was full of flavors and all came out hot. Some dishes were small portions for the price. All pastas ate were made homemade. You receive complementary bread, with virgin olive oil, cut at a bread station. We all ended our dinner with 3 different desserts that we all shared with our significant others , and we tapped our dinner off with Expresso martinis that were a perfect ending to a great meal. Prices are a little steep, and we are all use to bring home left overs, but no one did, we ate our dishes when they came to our table, since they are on the smaller size. Staff, tastes and flavor of food and drinks were on par. read more

Across from the Molly Pitcher hotel, this restaurant has reservations based available dining but you can grab a first come first serve place at the bar, which is what we did. The bar seating is around a large square galley of drinks with several busy hosts making drinks for the entire restaurant and fulfilling meals orders for bar patrons. Yet they make it all work efficiently. From where I was seated I could see the wood fired pizza ovens in the kitchen. The pasta is made fresh daily and I had a dish which was pasta shells with sausage and rabe broccoli in a wonderful sauce. My host also gave me complimentary bread and olive oil. Yum! I wish I had room for a pizza too as I really wanted to try it out, but alas I'll need to come back another day. My friend had the chicken parm which looks fantastic. Look forward to my next visit. read more

Delicious and fun spot in Red Bank for lunch, dinner and everything in between. Nice staff too!

I was here a couple years ago with a friend and we got the rigatoni with vodka sauce and eggplant. I normally do not eat Italian out since my mom is an amazing Italian cook and I'm spoiled, but my friend wanted to go here. It was the best vodka sauce that I've ever had at a restaurant and the eggplant was delicious, not seedy at all. The place is expensive but I do not mind if the food is delicious. I'm taking my husband here tonight and I hope it is just as delicious as the last time I was here. read more

I returned here for another meal. This time, I just went with a burrata salad with grilled chicken. It came with broccoli rabe pesto, pickled red onion, sweet tomatoes, and crispy pancetta along with the added grilled chicken. This was well presented, and all ingredients appeared fresh. The burrata was creamy while the chicken was seasoned and grilled ideally. I would have preferred a little more greens present. The broccoli rabe pesto was different, but tasty. I also tried the "mor" pizza. It came with meatball, onion, ricotta, tomato sauce, and mozzarella. This was not too bad. There could have been more meatball pieces present as it was hardly tasted. The crust also could have been cooked a tad longer. The tomato sauce was the key here. read more
