D’Italia Restaurant: Authentic Italian Cuisine & Exquisite Seafood in Avenel, NJ

This restaurant has been around many years and still number 1 for the area! Their pizza has crispy crust and just a delicious pie. The antipasto is plentiful and the balsamic dressing is perfect to top it off! Highly recommended whether just a pizza, lunch, dinner or brunch. Heather is a great server assuring your happy with everything you ordered. Prices are average and portions are fullfilling!

This is my go to place for blackened salmon salads and their house dressing is the BEST I’ve ever had! Their family owned atmosphere and service is impeccable. Always a hello, how are you, thank you and take care during take out. If they mess up an order, they rectify it - no questions asked. Not only is the food delicious but the way they treat their customers makes you want to come back again and again. A staple in our community and a town favorite for a reason! 10/10 recommend!

Loved the shrimp parm! They use freshly breaded shrimp, always a plus. The garlic bread didn’t have much garlic/oil on it so after a few bites, it was simply regular bread. The receptionist Joe has amazing energy! Very welcoming. Will visit again.

My buddy's and I broke bread together here last night. The place was hopping when we got there at 7 pm, so the service started off a little slow. Things got increasingly better, though. Fried calamari was crispy and fresh. The margarita vodka pizza was fantastic, we got it as an appetizer. Everyone liked their entrees too. Would love to go back again so I can try their homemade pastas.

Love this place. Always great food and customer service! They make you feel like family. The ambiance is always relaxing and friendly, family like. If I could change just one thing, it would be that they sold sweet tea. Sorry, not sorry.

Amazing experience from start to finish. We celebrated a joint 40th surprise birthday party with 50 people and way too many balloons lol. The service was impeccable. John and Danielle really made it happen for us. We adore them! We are extremely pleased with the food, atmosphere and the accommodating owner. Thank you so much for an amazing, unforgettable time. We appreciate you so much and will be lifelong customers.

This place oozes local italian restaurant heritage. The staff was great and inviting. The food was tasty, well portioned, and worth the prices. Being your family and friends. This restaurant has never let me down.

Friendly staff. Good food. The bread was served warm and very tasty. Likely made with pizza dough. I had some chicken wings which were okay. The sausage with potato and peppers wrap was very good. It came with a side salad, which was fresh and satisfying. Will return for a large gathering here. The owner manager is very friendly and accommodating.
