We made a last minute decision to come here and we were definitely not disappointed! It is conveniently a BYOB. Probably the best stuffed rigatoni ala vodka I’ve ever had! My whole party enjoyed their meals. Staff were friendly and accommodating and service was prompt. Our waiter has worked there since the late 80s…wow, what a testament to a great business!

Went here for lunch and what an excellent decision. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the menu and specials. The portions were very large and nicely priced. 3 of us had the veal parmigiana and it was great, I highly recommend it. My wife had the salmon special and loved it. You won’t leave hungry even though you’ll bring some home.

What a terrible experience our party of 10 had on Easter. Multiple salads arrived no dressing. The waiter was inattentive. I understand the volume of customers may have overwhelmed but the moldy oil is extremely disgusting. They had a limited 5 course menu in which the food must have been cooked then reheated. So mushy and inedible. The only good thing about the meal was the bread!

I was there with a group on my birthday, but we were celebrating an anniversary for 2 in the group. The waiter heard someone mention my birthday and he made an extra effort to bring me a piece of cake while he (along w other diners) sang happy birthday to me. Good was delicious!

Great family owned local restaurant. Unlike many restaurants they are able to maintain a strong core wait staff including long time employees Billy, Ray and others. They are always courteous, even when busy. Plan ahead because they do fill up!

My husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary at 11 Giardinello’s. The food was absolutely delicious. We went on Tuesday which was pasta night. Service was excellent. We definitely will be returning.

We passed out our exit in the parkway to stop at this Italian eatery located in Toms River. It seems that has new ownership, but many regulars do not seems to care. The service was great. The food was good also but not a place to travel extra half an hour to for an experience. If you pas by or reside in Toms River I would recommend it.

First time here. Had dinner with a small group of friends as a reservation. The appetizers and main courses were fresh and delicious. Reservations are a must as this restaurant is very popular.

I am a award winning chef. Very critical. This restaurant nailed it. There were 5 of us. Every dish every coarse was spot on perfect. Every dish sauce, proteins, pastas were cooked perfectly within seconds of perfect. Not over or under cooked. All 5 dishes were off the saute station. Give your saute guy/gal a raise. He needs to be on top 5% of industry pay for saute in new jersey.

The food was beyond our expectations. Five star rating includes the ambiance, catering, food quality, and attentiveness for 1st timers. We felt like Italy was with us here in the now. We thank you for creating this phenomenal experience. We will back soon!
