Antonio's Trattoria Cucina Italiana 2420 New Jersey 35, Manasquan, NJ 08736

"In June 2023, we chose Antonio’s as the venue for our mother’s repast. One hundred people attended, and we could not have asked for a better partner in terms of event planning, organizing, and implementing. The menu was varied, the food was delicious and plentiful, the service was timely, the schedule was adjusted to meet our needs as the afternoon progressed, and the staff was accommodating in wonderful ways that far exceeded expectations. Antonio’s was flexible with seating arrangements, and they took the time to lay out several keepsakes at each place setting in advance of our arrival—in exactly the way we had requested. The restaurant has a relationship with a local liquor store, and they facilitated delivery and set-up of drinks and beverages. A big shout-out to Beth who was our contact person throughout the process and event. She was highly responsive and wonderful to work with. As a family we were able to be present with our guests and to truly participate in a beautiful celebration of Mom’s life. We fully credit Antonio’s for making this a memorable and meaningful event for all who attended. Antonio’s will always have our deepest appreciation. -The Prati Family"

"Portions were plentiful and delicious (recommend the mediterranean tower for app and truffle gnocchi and lobster ravs for entree)!! Comes with bread and salad. BYOB! The only negative was that the seating was a bit cramped (4 people in a booth)."

"Really lovely place. Went for a wedding rehearsal and was blown away. Food was delicious, and the atmosphere is very intimate. Service was attentive and quick. The bread with the oil was delicious! We got cold antipasto, calamari, and chicken franchise. Very very tasty food! From soup to nuts this is def a recommendation!"

"Every time I come here with family or friends we’re never disappointed. The Italian food they have here is amazing and Antonio the owner is the kindest and most welcoming person. All of his staff are hard working and their menu is full of high quality delicious food. Their soups are amazing. A local gem that everyone loves around here!"
