I believe I have found my favorite restaurant in the Hazlet area. Food is delicious; atmosphere is great and the staff is very warm, welcoming and attentive. So far I have visited 3 times, and each time had an equally pleasant experience. I believe the owner has been there every time greeting guests and even taking ... plates to tables. I have had Michele as my waitress 2 out of the 3 times and she is just great! She is very attentive and seems to genuinely enjoy working there. She is always happy and makes you feel very welcome. I look forward to eating there and would recommend dining there to family and friends.

Food is great. Friendly service. Atmosphere is fun. We've been many times. Live music sometimes which was a blast! Just be careful when paying cash vs credit. Suggested tip shown on receipt are % on credit. If you pay cash and follow the suggested tip, they are not accurate and youre overpaying.

Went there on April 30th for my grandson confirmation diner. And I had the most enjoyable meal that I had in a very long time. The food was fabulous and the spice was great. Everyone was so nice and accomadating. There were 5 of us and even my grandkids ate all there food. But there was so much on my plate the pork ... chop dinner that I took it home and really enjoyed it the next day. Wonderful restaurant. Will definitely go back again and again.

This is a lovely Italian restaurant with a long history in this strip mall location. They must be doing something right. Sunday afternoon was busy with 2 birthday parties and many other customers. Even though busy it was properly staffed for good service. The food had that grandma cooked taste with ample portions to ... take home. Pick and choose from their home made sausage, to the seafood or veal dishes, all delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dishes are you best known for?

Our kitchen is best known for chicken rollatini alla Assaggini — chicken breast rolled with sausage, roasted peppers and mozzarella in a champagne mushroom sauce. Regulars also order chicken parmigiana, veal milanese, slow-braised osso bucco and penne alla vodka. Start the table with a stuffed artichoke.

What type of cuisine do you serve?

We serve traditional Italian cooking — Roman comfort food the way this family has made it since 1999. That means a daily list of pasta, veal and fresh seafood, prepared by hand rather than pulled off a shelf. Think relaxed fine dining: linen on the tables, nothing stiff about the room.

What services do you offer?

We serve dinner in our cozy Hazlet dining room and keep a separate room for private parties. Off-site, our catering team handles rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, birthdays and corporate events. For nights in, we offer takeout and delivery. Every table is BYOB, so bring the bottle you want with dinner.

What areas do you serve?

Our dining room is on Route 35 in Hazlet, and guests drive in from across Monmouth County: Keyport, Aberdeen, Matawan, Holmdel and Middletown. Our catering travels to all of them.
