Very welcoming and hospitable from the hostess to the servers, and even the chefs made a point to say hello. You can definitely tell it's a local spot with a loyal crowd and friendly atmosphere. The appetizers were honestly the highlight of the night. We had the fried burrata, baked clams, and the egg rolls, and all were flavorful and enjoyable. The bread was also delicious. For entrees, we ordered the Chicken Margherita and the Rigatoni Alla Sharon. The chicken was decent, simple and comforting, but nothing particularly memorable. I felt like the chicken itself could have used a little more seasoning and flavor. The biggest disappointment of the night was unfortunately the pasta dish. The Rigatoni Alla Sharon was extremely overcooked to the point where the pasta was very soft and mushy. It lacked salt and overall just didn't have the texture or flavor you hope for in a good pasta dish. We were excited to share it and it just fell flat. Overall, I'd say the appetizers alone are worth trying, but the entrees were a bit hit or miss based on our experience. The atmosphere is cute, welcoming, and clearly loved by locals, and the staff truly were wonderful throughout the night.

Strada has a great atmosphere in Atlantic Highlands and works well for a casual dinner or a night out with family and friends. If you can sit outside I would as the inside is very busy and somewhat cramped. The food was great and made with quality ingredients, but I found the staff somewhat underwhelming overall. While everything was prepared great, nothing really stood out or felt particularly memorable. We have been here twice and found both times the cramped space plus the hectic atmosphere/busy-ness made it difficult to have a good sit down conversation. The first time we went we waited an hour and a half after ordering to get our food-my fiance insisted on staying but I would have left at the 45 minute mark. The experience wasn't bad, but it also didn't leave me eager to return. There are some positives here, but considering the service, and overall value, I felt it was just average and didn't quite meet my expectations.

Chiafullo's Pizza is an awesome local spot in Atlantic Highlands. The pizza is always fresh with a perfect crust, great sauce, and generous toppings. You can tell they really care about quality and consistency. What makes the place even better is the atmosphere. It's a family-owned restaurant with friendly staff that make you feel welcome every time you walk in. Whether you're dining in, grabbing takeout, or ordering delivery, the service is always quick and reliable. Their menu has a lot more than just pizza too -- plenty of great options if you're going with family or a group. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and looking for a great local pizza place. Highly recommend! read more

i am housesitting for my mother, and figured i would order pizza and make it an easy sunday night. WORST IDEA EVER!!!!!! After an hour I called and someone got on the phone and said the oven were not working. Does that really happen?? you're a pizza place?? He said it was leaving in 5 minutes. After another 45 minutes I called and they said he left 10 minutes ago he should be there soon. SO after another 30 minutes the pizza show up cold and not worth 5 bucks much less the 38$ they charged. If you order from this place you are in for a very expensive and disappointing experience. Save yourself the trouble. Worst restaurant in New Jersey. read more
