Delicious shrimp scampi
Brian S.

Another great meal at Via V. We continue to frequent this place as it is probably the best Italian BYOB at the Jersey shore. There are many to choose from these days but you will not find a better value or better cuisine anywhere. The bonus is their service and delivery which is top notch. Be sure to visit their place in Brick and not Manasquan which is not at the same level of dining experience.

I was here about a decade ago with five friends and enjoyed a decent meal if memory serves. I don't know if they are the same owners but I do know they have another restaurant in Manasquan. Fast forward to the present......my friend and I wanted a relaxing and festive meal, so I decided here. The place is nicely decorated as per the holiday season. The atmosphere is festive and upbeat. We were greeted by Chris and Tony, both were very cordial and capable. The fare is mostly Italian. So most diners are familiar with the food. It's all in the taste, preparation and presentation. Entrees range from $22-37. The food is excellent minus. If you're a big eater, you will see portions are on the small side. Fill up on bread? Dessert was also excellent minus. The "con" here is the acoustics. Relaxing? NO. The sound levels should be checked by an audio engineer. Too damn noisy. 3.5 stars.

Absolutely amazing !

Food and service are outstanding! Deserts weren't great. Highly recommend. Just steer clear of the hostess!

It is a Sunday and we just got home from Via Veneto. A long wait for mediocre food. My last time.

Great old school Italian. Best bread. Everything is always good. Pasta is a little pricey but other then that you'll have a great meal

Is this the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to?…read more Actually, yes, it is. And I have been to a lot of Italian restaurants. The wait for a table was 45 minutes, but it was worth every minute. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was wonderful. We ended up being seated in a back patio room and though it was very hot outside (one of those 100 degree days last summer), it was actually very nice in there. The show started with someone asking for our drink order, then coming back with said drinks. After that she brought out some starts on the house, courtesy of chef and owner Joe. We were off to a great start! Soon after she returned to get our dinner order. After that, Chef Joe himself showed up to our table to thank us for visiting his restaurant and ask how we liked things so far. We let him know those starters were perfect...eggplant balls and a corn/tomato salad. Eventually our dinner came. Both dishes were waaaaaaaay more food than either of us expected. I had ordered chicken with mozzarella squares on top and drizzled in balsamic, which was a special created by Chef Joe's wife, according to the menu. My partner got eggplant parm...and wow, what a pile of food it was. Two huge eggplant pieces piled high with delicious sauce and served with some delectable pasta. Chef Joe came back to the dining room awhile later to ask people how their entrees were, and we let him know this was a great experience. I want to go back to Point Pleasant just to get here again. This time I will make a reservation.

What an experience! Spano's is exactly what you'd want an Italian restaurant to be. The food is…read moreamazing. The customer service is exceptional. The ambiance is perfection. The night started with Joe Spano, the owner, stopping at our table to bring several little dishes before we even had a chance to look at the menu. The meatballs (made with actually no meat but rather eggplant) were pure sorcery...like so good there aren't words. He noticed our wine bottle (it's BYOB so come prepared!), and by pure coincidence, it was his favorite bottle. Joe asked to show another costumer because they had been discussing wines earlier, and he wanted to make sure they got to see the label. If that wasn't personal enough, the walls are adorned with black and white framed photographs of family from back in the day to the present. The environment is clean, well-maintained, and cozy. Every bite we had was exceptional and the portions were huge! We left contently full but with plenty of leftovers. I'm quite sure every meal will exceed the expectations of even the pickiest of eaters. Our server, Brian (or Bryan) was new but attentive and informative. He spent time talking with his tables and being personable while also making sure everyone was taking care of. Overall, I highly recommend experiencing a meal at Spano's at least once....but after your first bite, you'll likely be making your next reservation before you leave (like we saw many people do)!

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!
