    MANASQUAN: Squan Tavern has been a staple in town since the 1960's and is a local and tourist favorite ever since then. A few blocks from the beach and right in the downtown area, they offer dog friendly seasonal outdoor seating and serve up Italian food and drinks from a full bar. We spent a beautiful day sitting under the tent and it was very comfortable and full of tables. The pasta with marinara sauce and a glass of wine really hit the spot and was so fresh and delicious. The service was fast and friendly too. A five minute drive away is Fisherman's Cove Conservation Area where dogs can be on-leash on the east-side of the beach at the Manasquan Inlet.

    This is a cool little spot that's where the locals dine.. no bust fanfare just great service and food along with relaxing environment where you can stay and talk !! I had the veal parm and it was good, my wife had soft shell crabs my family got risotto - delicious since we eat off each others plates! Had a pizza appetizer along with calamari and friends had veal piccata and broccoli rabe with shrimp.. excellent !! If you can't find something on the menu , which is 5 pages long, you ain't right !!!

    Your typical town restaurant. A lot of locals there and very friendly attitude. Very good food. We got the pizza and I got an eggplant sandwich. I liked the ambience inside even though it does get pretty packed. We went early so we wouldn't have to wait but I imagine you would have to wait if you went later. Worth a wait with friendly service good food and good atmosphere

    High quality pizza with a crispy crust and lots of flavor. Thick and savory tomato sauce with lots of garlic and basil. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

    Ate here for the first time tonight, a Friday. It was very busy with diners as well as take out orders, but we didn't need to wait too long to get a table. As we observed so many people with pizza, we decided to give it a try and ordered the Deluxe Pizza which had sausage, peppers and mushrooms. It was delicious! The crust was thin and crisp. The sauce was delicate and just right! The toppings were plentiful but didn't weigh down the pizza. Our server was attentive and polite. There was outdoor seating available too. My only issue was that the bar was too small! We love to sit at a bar to eat and drink but it was packed and not enough seats for everyone who would like to be there. But, I guess they were limited in space so we'll just have to go there in an "off time"! We will definitely go back to this family owned tavern.

    We came in on a Friday night and there was a 45 minute wait. We luckily scored some stools at the bar and had a few drinks. My friend was somewhat unnerved that they have carpeted floors. The more I thought about it I began to think yeah maybe not the best for a restaurant. We were seated at a booth and had the most amazing server and I cannot remember her name. I'll update if it comes to me. We started with calamari which was tender and the sauce was good. The bread was warm and we devoured it. We ordered 2 pizzas... one cheese and one Starting Six which had sausage, peppers, mushrooms, pepperoni, meatballs, and onions. They were both very good. I would definitely come back and try other menu items.

    Ordering by phone or online is impossible; deliver even worse; order elsewhere especially on weekends

    Good local staple. Traditional Italian fare with good pizza. They have an above average beer list. Starting to get a bit expensive though

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!
