Their home pasta dish is one of the best I've ever had. I would highly recommend this restaurant…read more The people are nice and the food is fantastic. It is bring your own bottle, so know that. Great addition to Asbury Park dining

An experience that everyone must have. The chef is awesome. He came out to talk to my family…read moreseveral times and even joined in the birthday song. The waiter and waitress went far beyond expectations. I would tell anyone driving thru the area or trying to decide what to eat. To choose Dolce Fantasia. This heavenly food of awesomeness is my number one pick. The food was excellent from appetizers to dessert. The chicken meat balls awesome the three cheese pasta awesome. The presentation dynamic. The whole experience is a 15 put of 10. The waitress named Bailey is by far great. But wait each waiter added a special touch to the experience as well. Giving a straw to my son to keep him distracted while we ate dessert. The other waitress and waiters smiling as they did roll call for the dinner portion of the night. Awesome would sum up everything. Chef my family and I thank you for opening your doors and table. Keep that helmet shining. MrC

Food was very good. Waitress very nice. Best broccoli I…read moreever had, really! An enjoyable lunch.

I had the most upsetting and disappointing experience at Pete & Elda's last night. I ordered a…read moredouble extra large pepperoni & onion pizza to be delivered on DoorDash. When I received the order, the pizza was a plain pizza with no toppings. However, the ticket inside the box had my name and what I ordered. So clearly, this was not the Doordasher's mistake, it was the restaurants. I called the restaurant and explained what happened & the manager on the phone Brandon said that in order for me to receive a refund, I'd have to contact DoorDash. I explained I didn't want a refund, I just wanted the pizza that I ordered. He then said I'd have to pick up the new pizza (which I was fine with doing) in 25-30 minutes. When I drove to the restaurant to pick up the new pizza, I'm then told by Brandon that I'd have to pay for the new pizza (which he never stated over the phone) & contact DoorDash for a refund. I explain ONCE AGAIN, that I'm not looking for a refund, I just want the pizza that I ordered. He then explains that it's just their policy & I'd have to pay for the new pie (even though it was their fault I got the wrong order.) Any decent manager or business would give the new pie for free because it was a mistake on their end. I obviously refused to pay for a second pizza & asked to speak to someone else. Then another manager named Joe comes out & basically says the same thing that Brandon says. At this point, I'm very upset because I'm being asked to pay for a mistake that I didn't make. I call my dad & let him know what's happening, & then he drives over with the pizza that was received and the ticket in the box. We then proceed to go back & forth with the managers for around 10 minutes. They completely avoided accountability for their mistake, & instead tried to blame the mistake on the dasher. The manager Joe was saying that "dashers pick up multiple orders at once & could've mixed the pizzas up." Clearly, that's not what happened in this situation, so it felt like they were trying to insult our intelligence. I ONCE AGAIN tell him that the dasher received the correct pizza from the restaurant because the ticket in the box was correct, one of their staff just gave the wrong pizza. I worked in the food industry for many years so I understand how DoorDash works. It's not the Dashers's responsibility to check the box and make sure the pizza is correct as that would be very unsanitary. The responsibility is on the restaurant to give the Dasher the correct order. After me having to drive to their restaurant when I wanted the order delivered initially, then my dad having to drive there to back me up, & us going back & forth with them, they finally decide to give me the pizza without me having to pay a second time (which they should've done in the first place.) Then the manager Joe tries to offer us a credit the next time we decide to go to the restaurant but I told him there was no need for that because we will never go to Pete & Elda's ever again! This whole situation has left such a bad taste in my mouth. I've had an issue before where I received the wrong pizza from Pete & Elda's & they simply remade my order and gave me a new pizza, so I don't understand why they expected me to pay again for food I already paid for through DoorDash! I have lived in Neptune all of my life and my parents have been living here for over 30+ years, & we were frequent customers at Pete & Elda's. We are so upset & disappointed that we can't even bring ourselves to set foot in that restaurant ever again. If they simply gave me the new remade pizza without demanding a second payment, this situation would've never happened. The managers were completely unprofessional and handled this situation HORRIBLY. You guys have lost loyal customers over a pizza that probably cost you $10 to make.

I had to be out overnight on business and I had heard about this restaurant and all I can say is…read morethat this is an experience! I didn't have an issue getting a reservation as it is winter and it is in a shore town. I arrived early, probably about 4:45 . At first, I was a little taken her back because I stood there waiting while the young lady was on the phone so I was standing in there a while, but once she was done, she led me to a table and from there everything was incredible. Let's start off with the fact that it is so tastefully decorated for the holiday season. I absolutely loved it. It was very clean very classic. Now onto the drinks. The wine menu was amazing. I settled on a glass of Pinot Grigio and then after dinner I tried one of their pistachio martinis, which was absolute heaven in a martini glass. I actually even ordered a second one because I don't know when I will ever get back down here I loved the bread service. It came with not just classic olive oil, but there was whipped ricotta cheese, and there was also some capers and olives, which were absolutely delicious. I started with the house salad. The presentation and the taste were absolutely amazing. I then had the halibut which was out of this world it was cooked perfectly . The flavor was amazing and then for dessert I had their special mini Zeppoli's half filled with Nutella and half filled with cannoli cream. I don't usually eat like this, but I figured I would treat myself for once and I enjoyed every moment of it and I cannot wait for the time when I can go back here

BEST IN TOWN. What an incredible meal, wow. Amazing menu selection. Many options for gluten free…read morefolks. Apps: Bread service (could've been warmed) came with a ricotta type spread, olive tapenade, and garlicky olive oil. All fantastic together! Highly recommend mussels fra diavolo to start - rich tomato broth with perfect level of spice. Took the sauce home with bread to dip! Entrees: Pork chop was MASSIVE and extremely juicy. The peppers and onions on top were so flavorful. Decent potato bacon hash on the side. Paired perfectly with the Pinot noir. The scallops (4 large) were so sweet and fresh. Tasty, rich risotto. Desserts: GIANT tiramisu to share - dense lady fingers (a good thing), could taste the booze. Could've been slightly more room temperature but pretty dang good. I was told the chocolate mousse (I stupidly forgot to taste my friend's) was very good also. Service was exceptional. We took a lot of time here and were the last to leave but never once felt rushed by the staff. Ambience was romantic (could've used some Italian music in background to set the mood rather than classic rock)... I mean The Godfather was playing on tv at the bar! All in all, this place is the perfect spot for a fine dining experience out or special occasion. P.S.They offer $5 valet parking since it's on busy Main Street, but fairly easy to find yourself off season.
