Stopped in for lunch on a gorgeous mid-week preseason day. Was greeted warmly and seated. We ordered two of the specials. Number 1 best was the caprese panini. Absolutely so fresh and just yummy. Also the BLT wrap which was good...fresh, right ratio of filling to wrap. Fries are delicious. Iced tea very flavorful. I will definitely plan to stop …

Wow I was shocked to see the low rating overall here. I just finished eating here and this place is absolutely lovely. I ordered an app- the Fior di Zucca. It was very good. For my entree I had lobster ravioli which I was pleasantly surprised with how divine it was. Great portion, the lobster in the ravioli tasted nice …

First time in OC NJ with the family. Its not easy to find a good restaurant on the boardwalk. First the atmosphere pulled us in, then the nice staff. To our delight the food was absolutely also amazing! Food is made fresh daily. Home made sauce! Delish! A must try. We will be back.
