Came into Christine's in Atlantic Highlands on a Sunday for dinner. First off, the service was…read moregreat. 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.

Every dish we ordered exceeded expectations. They're very big portions but the quality is what stuck out the most. Ingredients felt fresh and dishes masterfully put together.

I could have stopped there as it was so satisfying but no.. we needed.

The crust was crispy yet soft and unbelievable - no flop! The pizza was savory and had the perfect dollops of ricotta. The cheese wasn't slopping off, everything stayed together nicely. It even had a unique crust that had "everything but the bagel" seasoning encrusted on top. I normally don't go for a white pizza but seeing this at first glance I just felt gravitated to try it and I'm glad I did! This is a great family operated pizzeria. The family is super kind and proud of their business which I took away in the few moments I interacted with them at the festival. I wish them all the best and hope to stop by for some more of their pizza if I'm ever in the area! I recommend you try them!

I mean the roads, the parks, the infrastructure, the amenities, the beaches, the water, the roads (deserves a second mention) , the shopping, the culture, the EVERYTHInG including restaurants is so very inferior to the other suburbs. Yikes! The eggplant parm was unbreaded, uncooked, unflavored, un sauced --simply gross. The calzone was so full of cheap cheese we were gagging,. Thanks Amici for not changing my opinion of this shthole state. ZERO stars

We enjoyed our slices so much that we stopped by again, the same day, and I got the white pizza and spinach. Hey, when you find a good slice, you enjoy it! David got the sausage pizza. We also picked up some garlic knots. What a treat! The restaurant is typical, simple New Jersey strip mall. Nothing to write home about, however they serve up great thin crust pizza. They do serve up other Italian fare, someone was picking up a huge order of lasagne, eggplant parm and meatballs, sounded delicious. Based on the person in the back folding boxes, they seem to be very popular. We tried the other pizza in town, but prefer Pomodoro's thinner no flop pizza!

Much to my surprise, they were able to seat us for a quick dinner and were very accommodating. The quick dinner turned into 2.5 hours and we were extremely grateful they let us stay so long. Everyone working there was super attentive. You could tell they really cared about providing great service and a great experience. We ordered what felt like the entire menu - 3 apps and 3 entrees to split because why not? Everything sounded so good we couldn't resist. We started with the octopus, spiedini special, and zucchini flowers. The octopus was so tender it melted in your mouth. Some of the best I've eaten. Same goes for the zucchini flowers. Light and delicate but still packed with flavor. We split the spicy vodka, salmon special, and pasta al forno as our entrees. The spicy vodka macaroni was insane. I could have eaten 10 bowls it was that good. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was totally worth the hype. Angelica's far exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to return!

We sat near the open kitchen which was an absolute treat I enjoyed the meal, the desserts are stellar. Disappointed that the kitchen ran out of a few items. The spicy tuna over crispy rice with Calabrian chile sauce was very good. I prefer the tuna diced and mixed, this reminded me of poke. The meatballs were a huge appetizer portion of 3 and they were excellent The short rib over saffron risotto was very good, loved the crunch from the rapini. Their gelato is excellent as was the limoncello bread pudding. Michael took great care of us. I look forward to dining with Catezza again.

Our whipped ricotta appetizer arrived without the honey drizzle described on the menu. When we mentioned it to the waitress, there was no apology -- just "I can get it for you on the side." We then tried ordering a half‑bottle of Pinot Noir and were told they were out. We also asked for a half‑bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and were told that wasn't available either, so we gave up on ordering wine altogether. We ordered fried ravioli and were told they were out as well, and this was only at 6pm. One of our kids received a different menu than the rest of us, which caused confusion when ordering a vegetarian entrée as it contained pancetta and we asked our child to order without pancetta. We pointed out the menu variation to the waitress and she did not say thanks for pointing out or that we will make sure it's corrected or anything at all. After a long wait for our entrées, the manager stopped by. We explained the series of issues, but his only response was, "But everything came out ok?" before walking away. No acknowledgment, no apology, or let me make it up to you but doing XYZ. Maybe it was just an off night, but the number of issues combined with the lack of customer service made for a disappointing experience.
