    Chef's Salad
    Alexander B.

    Pizza is among the best in Ocean County. Attached is a dining room where you will enjoy amazing Italian entrees. Table service is prompt, attentive, and friendly. If you just want to relax and enjoy a Chef's Salad, they have that too. Every dish is a master piece. Check out the Chef's salad. It looks amazing and tastes even better. Treat yourself, family and friends to a wonderful dining experience.

    A very satisfying lunch! The four of us enjoyed the lunch here recently. The deceiving pizza shop front opens into a full service restaurant as you step past the pizza ovens and displays. We had several salads, and an eggplant rollatini lunch plate. All were generously arranged, nicely plated and delicious! The prompt service and reasonable pricing was impressive. We'll definitely return!

    Café Napoli is located in a large strip mall in Manchester on route 70. The reviews are average to above average so I felt that I should try it anyway, being in the area coming home from musical event. The staff was excellent and very meticulous. We had stuffed mushrooms and a plain pizza. Prices are very reasonable. My only negative comment was the pizza dough could have had more salt, otherwise the food was excellent.

    Food is okay, service is not so good, they need to train the servers better. Owner get nasty if you don't tip the servers a lot of money.

It's on the left hand side in a shopping plaza, just off Fischer Blvd heading East. They have a small waiting area, but once seated, it was spectacular!! Ashley was one of our servers.

Yummy Of course water, bread delivered to the table. It's a BUO ! We also had the large Caesar salad. Delicious and plenty for 2-3 guests. Then came the main course. I had the lasagna. I haven't had Lasagna in decades. I usually get seafood or Chicken Parm. Spectacular dish. More than half came home in a doggie bag. Tomorrow's lunch. They brought out the Belgian Chocolate Mouse, no antlers with birthday ornaments and sang Happy Birthday to my wife. Everyone's meal was enormous and leftovers abound. We already are talking about going back again. THANKS

    Overall, a great meal the lentil soup was a little disappointing, truthfully to bread and butter…read morewas a big highlight the Butter was a creamy butter was so good. Another disappointment was the olive oil and garlic was an add-on appetizer. The fact that the Parmesan cheese was a shaker and not a grater was a little bit of a disappointment as well I got the Italian trio which was meatballs, sausage, and egg eggplant over pasta. Everything was perfect all so good my partner got shrimp Parmesan, which she loved so both of our dinners were a 10 out of 10 dessert was a little bit disappointing the carrot cake was not up to what we wanted.

    Is this the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to?…read more Actually, yes, it is. And I have been to a lot of Italian restaurants. The wait for a table was 45 minutes, but it was worth every minute. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was wonderful. We ended up being seated in a back patio room and though it was very hot outside (one of those 100 degree days last summer), it was actually very nice in there. The show started with someone asking for our drink order, then coming back with said drinks. After that she brought out some starts on the house, courtesy of chef and owner Joe. We were off to a great start! Soon after she returned to get our dinner order. After that, Chef Joe himself showed up to our table to thank us for visiting his restaurant and ask how we liked things so far. We let him know those starters were perfect...eggplant balls and a corn/tomato salad. Eventually our dinner came. Both dishes were waaaaaaaay more food than either of us expected. I had ordered chicken with mozzarella squares on top and drizzled in balsamic, which was a special created by Chef Joe's wife, according to the menu. My partner got eggplant parm...and wow, what a pile of food it was. Two huge eggplant pieces piled high with delicious sauce and served with some delectable pasta. Chef Joe came back to the dining room awhile later to ask people how their entrees were, and we let him know this was a great experience. I want to go back to Point Pleasant just to get here again. This time I will make a reservation.

    What an experience! Spano's is exactly what you'd want an Italian restaurant to be. The food is…read moreamazing. The customer service is exceptional. The ambiance is perfection. The night started with Joe Spano, the owner, stopping at our table to bring several little dishes before we even had a chance to look at the menu. The meatballs (made with actually no meat but rather eggplant) were pure sorcery...like so good there aren't words. He noticed our wine bottle (it's BYOB so come prepared!), and by pure coincidence, it was his favorite bottle. Joe asked to show another costumer because they had been discussing wines earlier, and he wanted to make sure they got to see the label. If that wasn't personal enough, the walls are adorned with black and white framed photographs of family from back in the day to the present. The environment is clean, well-maintained, and cozy. Every bite we had was exceptional and the portions were huge! We left contently full but with plenty of leftovers. I'm quite sure every meal will exceed the expectations of even the pickiest of eaters. Our server, Brian (or Bryan) was new but attentive and informative. He spent time talking with his tables and being personable while also making sure everyone was taking care of. Overall, I highly recommend experiencing a meal at Spano's at least once....but after your first bite, you'll likely be making your next reservation before you leave (like we saw many people do)!
