I came to deliver desserts and left with some of the best pizza anywhere in NJ. It's thin crust with just the right amount of perfectly spiced tomato sauce. I had pepperoni. Coins of spicy meat against the crispy crust and oregano laced sauce. Perfection!! read more

Absolutely love this place, such a hidden gem in Neptune! The portions are huge, sauce and dough is always fresh. The garlic knots are unreal! Pizza is good too, lots of different combos to try. The employees are kind and generous. read more

This was our first taste of R'Ortegas and won't be the last. We wanted pizza and I am gluten free- so we ordered two kinds. Being gluten free. pizza is not good eaten out. But this was crispy crust, hot bubbly cheese.. and tasted delicious. My gentleman's regular pizza was wonderful. He makes his own pizza and is very picky about eating pizza out. Thank you for being a great experience. Oh yes and calling me by my name several times was such a nice gesture . So add customer service was excellent, as well. We will be back! read more

The food is excellent! The staff very friendly and willing to make your experience nice. Large portions and excellent quality. It has a full bar! It is in the Jumping Brook shopping center in Neptune on hwy 33. Go support them. It isn't Mexican it is ITALIAN!! It rivals Vic's read more

First of all, this eatery is now SIPRIANI'S. Brought a bottle of white wine, arrived here Friday evening just before 6 pm, just before music started. The place was about 3/4 full (holds around 50) and one young waitress (who admitted she was new) and one older man were trying to deal with the customers, most had just arrived. We sat down and after waiting over 15 minutes had to ask for a menu. Then we got hot garlic bread, delicious, and we opened our own wine. We ate bread for the next 15 minutes before the waitress took our order. Then, we waited for our salads that never arrived, which we mentioned when our entrees arrived. One would think they would quickly bring out salads, but not here. The good news is that the entrees were delicious. I had Grouper and clams over pasta, $26.99 and my lady had Salmon Harvest with vegetables; but another problem: it clearly says "Entrees served with fresh garden salad and choice of pasta" but she got no pasta. When the waitress took the order, my lady asked for Rigatoni. She pointed out that she was waiting for her pasta. Then, the waitress finally brought out a dish of penne saying "ok, this is on the house." We explained that there is no question of "on the house" because entrees are supposed to come with pasta. In short, the service was dreadful. I cannot really blame the waitress because they need more help, at least a busboy to clean tables. They also need better management to insure that the place is not chaotic, as it was Friday evening 6 to 730 pm. The food was good, but the overall experience was not good, so we will probably never return. read more

Great food and huge portions. Fast and friendly people. I feel like I am back in the 80's.

Happened to drive by this restaurant on a trip to Neptune & noticed it in a strip mall. Found out it was newly opened & wanted to try it. So glad we did. Although not fancy the dining area is clean & open. The service was pleasant & efficient. Beginning with complimentary garlic knots & sauce. My meal was Chicken Caprese in a pesto cream sauce over linguine. My daughter had a Crispy Chicken Carbonara & my wife tried the Mediterranean Grouper over Angel hair with a lemon sauce. All the entrees were excellent & came with salad. The prices were reasonable & portions were very nice. Also a BYOB. Really would give this restaurant a try if you are in the area. read more

Food was excellent and reasonably priced. I had the grouper and it was fresh and delicious!

My family had a WONDERFUL night at Cipriani's! We had a big table and I was curious how they would do, considering they are newly open and still tweaking things. They were quite busy, but service was excellent and the waitress was attentive and personable. The appetizers (fried calamari, mussels in red sauce, mussels in white sauce, and stuffed mushrooms) were outstanding! I had the cavatelli bolognese and it was a generous portion and good. I think the sauce could use a little work and it would be great. There was live entertainment by Billy Brown and he was delightful and added a nice feel to the night. I had a chocolate banana cream pie for dessert and it was to die for. Everyone in my party was raving about the food and the desserts and we all had an amazing time. With a little work, this will be one of the premier Italian restaurants on the Jersey Shore. read more

R'Ortega's Grill & Bar - Cavatelli Bolognese. - Italian Near Me - Neptune City, New Jersey

New to the area. Had lunch with my family here yesterday. Everything we ate was amazing! Garlic bread was absolutely to die for. Sauce was delicious! Pizza was very tasty. More cheese than I am used to but was still very good. Calamari was fried perfectly. Chicken fingers and fries were great, too My mom and dad both had eggplant (eggplant rollatini and eggplant parm sub) and they both enjoyed their food as well. Have to shout out the service for late lunch - Dave was fantastic!! Incredibly attentive, friendly and genuinely wanted to know how everything tasted and that we were happy with our food and experience while we were there. Several others from the kitchen poked their heads out also to say hi/ see how we were doing. Great service! I unfortunately didn't snap any pics of my food while I was there. Next time. read more

I was there yesterday, must of been a bad day eather for me or the chief. The food was horrible, everything tasted old from days before. The pasta was dried like it was left out exposed to air. The pizza was so watered that my son didn't like it and he loves pizza. Usually when things like this happen it's because they are not busy and the owners try to stick you with the old food. Definitely will never go there again. My wife was there last w weekend and was even worse I figured I'd try it before making this post no good. Don't waist your money and go see where it's busy so it's fresh. read more

The food was outstanding! Made to order and very Authentic! The soup is homemade and so delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and the staff was very efficient and personable! We will be back again!! read more

Old school Jersey Italian restaurant with a classic menu and the flavors and cooking style that brings you right back to Mom's kitchen. No bells and whistles because they don't need it the food speaks for itself. This is a great weeknight spot to dine or call them for take out. I enjoyed how they had all the classics with some creative specials. I got the salmon special and it was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was delicious. When you go make sure you ask for a second round of garlic knots, you'll thank me later! read more

The food was decent I wouldve liked my pizza more if I hadn't seen the guy making pizzas rub his hands on his dirty apron then make my food.

We ordered Mother's Day dinner here tonight. I got clams casino. My son got a tuna sub and my husband got "mama Luke burger." My son loved his tuna sub. He ate the entire thing! My clams were exceptional (maybe the best clams casino I ever had! They were so clean and the dressing was delish!). I could have eaten 4 more!!!!!! (Although I was kind of expecting 6) But mama Luke. Husband ordered this on faith, because there was no description. It had Brie, bacon, cheese, egg, arugula?!?!?! And some unknown dressing. Pretty nasty in our humble opinion. Please add a description, if this is a burger you stand behind. Brie is a cheese you want to let people know they are ordering. Brie goes with apples and honey mustard....not burgers. Mike was expecting cheddar. He said the burger tasted like fish. read more

Nice to see this location under new ownership. Easy to order online and go and pick up. Pizza is good - thinner crust. Could be a little more well done but that is my personal preference. Salad was fresh. Liked the house dressing that came with it. read more

Food was good, service was excellent. We were a group and there was no rushing us out. Just check your bill as there is a credit card surcharge which we had to ask to be removed as we paid by cash. read more

Outstanding meal Tuesday evening. I really feel bad for the owner who needs service help desperately. It is a great place to literally make some dough, if you like to work. read more

Food is absolutely amazing. Service excellent. The portions well plan on taking home half you dinner because the garlic bread they serve is a meal in itself. This is a must try. Very comfortable atmosphere even the musician on Friday night was great. I will definitelybe returning. read more

Been here a couple of times and tried different things and each time it was worse than before definitely need a new cook or something

Food is good, but service is incredibly slow. Order a pizza, told 20 min wait, show up 30 min later (to give some wiggle room) and they didn't even start my order. This was mid afternoon as well, not during a lunch/dinner rush. Something to keep in mind if you're considering going here. read more

Up there with the best Italian restaurants in NJ. From the garlic bread to the homemade sausages to the meatballs and gravy to the linguine and clam sauce. Great service from a hard working staff. Only drawback - no liquor license, but there is a package store and bar next door. Get a cocktail ahead of time and bring a bottle of wine, read more

They think it's cool to deliver 1/4 of the items you ordered. What is that? Am I crazy?

The service was not good, it was one waiter managing multiple tables so I give them slack but we waited a good 10-15 + mins for our drinks to come then another 10 mins or so to get our order taken. The food for me was meh. I ordered the ravioli but the sauce was kinda warm but not hot. read more
