They gave me the # for a place down the street which delivered a bottle of wine in about 6 minutes - right to my table. But the food is the deal. Several standout veal and pasta dishes. A special they have regularly is a swordfish on the bone; if they have it, GET IT. It's a whole different experience than a regular (dry) piece of swordfish. The owner Ron walks the restaurant throughout service to make sure everything is running smoothly for everyone, so it does. We've been coming here since it opened 14 years ago and we've never once been disappointed. I don't generally post reviews, but after a fantastic birthday dinner this week I realized it was time to share!

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.

That we noticed. We sat at the bar with a truly pleasant barkeep named Devon. Great guy. Produced two stunning cocktails ( Awedome Negroni and blood orange Margaritas) He showed us the changes which were mostly operation things but also the new menu. ( I always liked the old menu but this one was also inviting ) He explained that they did away with pizza .. that's fine as I wouldn't think of going here for pizza .. that I'll do at Birravino .. we ordered the tuna appetizer which was delicious and fresh. Served in a chilled broth with Avacado nice dish. Vicky loved it ! I had the eggplant parm app which was also pretty authentic in its simplicity but with a fantastic sauce. I could have stopped there as it was so satisfying but no.. we needed. To try the veal malfadine which was perfectly al dente and the killer pork chop which was hands down one of the most delicious I've had in a while To finish we sampled the bambaloni, a zeppola type dessert which was nicely deep fried .. presented well and tasted great but I had a major guilt thing after eating such a heart attack invitation All told we love it here ..

I got a chance to sample a slice of their white pizza at the Jersey Eats NJ Pizza Festival. The…read moreslice was the first one I had and yet it is still one of the most memorable for me. 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 think the folks in NJ who have never lived anywhere else..just have nothing to compare this place to. 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

They have a great selection of slices, I ordered the white pizza with all the yummy ricotta and broccoli and my husband had their sausage and pepperoni. The pizza is thin crusted and flavorful. The server that helped us was helpful and chatty, telling us what other restaurants are around, who has the best happy hour, really fun. 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!
