The clams and linguine had incredible flavor with a great amount of clams in each bite. Very satisfying. The eggplant pasta was also a standout: filling, well-balanced, and packed with flavor. The chicken pesto sandwich was good as well and came with fries on the side. However, the sesame seed pizza! WOW WOW WOW. Absolutely amazing and easily the most memorable item of the meal. Overall, a fantastic experience with delicious food and great portions throughout!

Our guests were in disbelief at amount of delicious food that was served as well as the quality. The waitstaff were phenomenal as well as the bus staff.

They even doled out containers for people to take the leftovers home and not a single slice of bread was left!

I have to give Amano Pizza in Matawan 5 stars because it's the best pizza place in the area for…read moresure! Their upside Sicilian is FANTASTIC! I have not had a better upside slice in all the places I went to in Middlesex or Monmouth County thus far. The sauce is so flavorful and absolutely delicious! It has a nice crisp on the bottom too. The pizza here is crispy, and they don't skimp on quality ingredients or cheese. My next favorite is the white slice with broccoli, and it's even better when I add tomatoes too. I love the quality ricotta cheese and again they don't skimp! The margarita here is also delicious here, but every time I come it's rarely available. They say their grandma square slice is similar, but the actual Margarita slice is much better. My husband loves their regular cheese slice! I highly recommend Amano's in Matawan!

I ordered a calzone with NO ricotta cheese which normally is included and part of a calzone. I was…read moresharing this with someone who loves ricotta cheese. When I picked up my order I asked for just a side scoop of ricotta cheese and explained why. The young girl at the register didn't know what to do. Finally they get the manager or whoever was in charge this day and he told her to charge me $2.00. I told the manager that I asked for no ricotta cheese in the calzone but just on the side and explained again to him. He simply walked away! I was like you are charging me $2.00 for a tiny scoop of ricotta cheese when it wasn't in the calzone??? I did not ask for "extra" ricotta cheese. If I did, then the extra charge is justifiable. The calzone and the other items I ordered were very good but I have to say, it put a very bad taste in my mouth. I apologized to the two girls at the register that I would have preferred to have put that $2.00 in the tip jug but was so angry. I know it was not their fault but I said it loud enough hoping the manager heard me. I'm not sure if I will go back there and find it funny over a scoop of ricotta but it's just the principle of the situation.

Di Bari's - Matawan, NJ…read more I walked into Di Bari's for one thing: the bar pie. What I didn't expect was a full lineup of elevated, abundant, and reasonably priced dinner specials that turned my quick stop into a full-on feast. This place is absolutely not just a pizzeria. I started with the stuffed zucchini appetizer--so fresh and flavorful--and the pork osso buco, which was tender, comforting, and honestly restaurant-quality. From there I tasted the Tuscan haddock, the chicken balsamico, and the pappardelle... every single dish was delicious. Portions are generous too, so come hungry. I left stuffed in the best way. The bar pie? Amazing. Thin, crispy, full of flavor--exactly the kind of pie that deserves attention. Dave Portnoy, you need to get down to Matawan for this one. There is also an area for private gatherings. Another fun surprise: they carry L&B Spumoni by the quart and Nasto's gelato, which is such a treat to see on the menu. If you're in the area, definitely come for the bar pie--but stay for dinner. You'll love it just as much as I did.

They had a decent amount of seating when we went. We haven't tried a lot of items on their food menu, but enjoyed their chicken wings. We would go back to try more items especially their pizza. The workers were friendly and efficient. They had a decent amount of parking space in the outside. We would go here more often if it wasn't far from our house. We'd definitely go back!

This by far is my new favorite pizza spot. I really enjoy their pizza here. I have tried many different types of slices they offer, and each one was spectacular. The show stopper is their Buffalo Chicken Slice however. This is an amazing pizza slice. I love the chicken to sauce ratio; and it blends perfectly on the thick crust. The taste is outstanding. This is my go to slice here. I also really enjoy their classic plain slices. Perfect amount of crisp and minimal flop. Can't go wrong with the plain slice or a plain pie here. I have also tried their BBQ Chicken and Chicken Parm slices, and they are all so good. No bad toppings or pizza choices here. I highly recommend everyone try this place out!

They also have a pizzeria conveniently located right next door, which is a nice bonus. The service was outstanding--Alessandro was the best! He recommended his signature cocktail, the Orange Cosmopolitan, and all I can say is WOW. Perfectly made and dangerously good--they definitely sneak up on you! He checked in on us throughout the evening, always friendly and engaging, which truly elevated the experience. The food was just as impressive: Pollo Milanese - a perfectly cooked chicken cutlet topped with fresh mozzarella, arugula, cherry tomatoes, onions, shaved Parmesan, and a bright lemon vinaigrette. Pollo Carbonara - topped with prosciutto, spinach, peppers, and fontina cheese, served over penne pasta. Alaska Chicken (special) - stuffed chicken with shrimp, roasted tomatoes, spinach, and cheese in a rich cream sauce, served with saffron risotto. Absolutely delicious. For dessert, we shared a toasted almond cake and a caramel cheesecake cone--paired with cappuccinos, of course. The perfect ending to a great meal. It was a wonderful evening shared with wonderful people, made even better by Alessandro's exceptional service. Highly recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely be back to try more dishes!
