Via Veneto Ristorante 2410 New Jersey 35, Manasquan, NJ 08736

"It’s BYOB. Great food and service. The lighting maybe touch bright, and music a bit low, but it’s a thin balance here, it’s better when it’s low music than loud. Welcoming. Recommend for family gatherings."

"VIA Veneto in Manasquan is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the area. The food never disappoints, their very accommodating to food allergies, the restaurant offers very nice ambiance, takes reservations and the wait staff and kitchen are spot on."

"My husband and I had dinner here for the first time this evening. He had a double-cut pork chop, which he said came out exactly as he ordered it "medium rare" and he loved it . . . high praise, indeed, as he is in the meat business and knows a good cut and quality when he tastes it! I had salmon piccata, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The salmon was cooked perfectly and served with just the right amount of piccata sauce, of which the taste was light and balanced. The food was wonderful, our server (Madison) was friendly and attentive. Add to that the ambience and acoustics (even though the restaurant was crowded it wasn't loud, and we were able to converse very comfortably), and I can definitely say that we will be back, and next time we will bring our friends! Update 12/15/23 Was here again a few weeks ago with business colleagues and a third time tonight with my husband. What a pleasure. Excellent food. Outstanding service. And I especially appreciate the ambience and acoustics: despite all tables filled and everyone chatting you never have to raise your voice or strain to hear the conversation at your own table. What a pleasure!"

"08/27/22 - still one of my local favs . Did the Monk Fish tonight, orgenata. Deliciosa! One of my local favorites. Nice offering of fish and pasta. BYOB helps keep price reasonable, just make sure you finish (no open bottles in the car). The specials always are fun. But my favorite salad is the seafood salad, tripe appitizer and the homemade pasta. Back during coronavirus. Very nice evening, great menu and staff taking all the precautions. Made going out again a real treat."

"Great food, atmosphere, and service. Really good veal Sorrentino and Chicken Murphy dishes. The Pistachio Tartuffo is to die for! I would go there just for that!"
