The restaurant is gorgeous as you can see by the video of that fountain, you feel like you're transported to Italy. But the restaurant isn't just pretty, the food is absolute phenomenal too. Every dish I tried was excellent from the focaccia (one of the best breads I've ever had in my life, to the meatballs and right down got my entree everything was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The truffle gnocchi was one of the best Italian dishes I've ever had in my life and the chicken cutlet I ordered on top was also one of the best chicken cutlets I've ever had in my life (don't tell my mom or my wife). Our waitress was super attentive and kind as well so the service doesn't miss either. This might be my new favorite restaurant by the shore, definitely come check it out.

I had high hopes for this place because of the 4.1 rating, but it honestly did not live up to…read moreexpectations. The service was just okay -- at one point it even seemed like two waitresses were arguing over who was supposed to take our table because it took so long for someone to even come back and take our order (mind you, there were only two other tables occupied). The food came out in a reasonable amount of time, but unfortunately most of it was disappointing. My daughter ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, and the chicken was the only good part. The Alfredo sauce tasted overly heavy and way too dairy-like. My other daughter had the spaghetti and meatballs, and the sauce lacked flavor. My fiancé ordered the Chicken Francese, and that was disappointing too -- the chicken looked oddly prepared and just didn't taste right. Even though I didn't order it, the only thing I'd recommend here is the pizza. Other than that, I'd stay away.

I have visited Lubrano's several times for dinner and it does not disappoint. It's a located in a…read morestrip mall in Mannasquan. When you walk in, you are standing in front of a pizza counter but there is a nice dining room attached for lunch/dinner. I have yet to try the pizza since I usually just come for dinner. At the table, they start with hot bread and olive oil to dip. The bread is super delicious and dangerously addictive. For appetizers, I have tried the Stuffed Zucchini Flowers and Calamari. Both are great options. For an entree, I usually order the Chicken Parm or Seafood Pescatore Linguine. Most recently, I tried the Spicy Garlicky Salmon, which came highly recommended by other Yelpers. It was the perfect amount of garlic flavor and came with a side of creamy mashed potatoes. Everything I have tried at Lubrano's has been amazing and the portions are huge. I usually bring home leftovers and can make another meal out of it! It's BYOB which is a great plus. You have to make a reservation even during the week. This place fills up very fast. Lubrano's is a must visit at the Jersey Shore!

Starters: Love the complimentary house marinated olives to start--unique types and bread with olive oil. The tortellini soup on special was large and rich in flavor and creaminess. Very tasty. Fried burrata was excellently paired with prosciutto, peppers, among other accoutrements. Entrees: Horseradish salmon was the most tender, fall apart in my mouth I've ever had. My mom LOVED her chicken piccata. The mashed potatoes and veggies on the side were also so buttery and yummy. Dessert: The strawberry cake (forget the Italian name) for dessert was super light yet decadent. Chocolate cake just the same, not too heavy. It's a pricy place, but they offer 50% off entrees on Thurs (cash only) and prefixe menu before theater shows in town (before 6pm). BYOB off season / alcohol in summer. Plenty of free parking surrounding but summer may be a challenge.

I just came back from a trip to Italy and there wasn't a single time. A plate of clams on goal was more than $20.

No one checked back for 1/2 the meal to see how it was (& mine was not hot.) Very disappointing. Will not go on a weekend again. Only went because of the local theater.
