This relatively unknown Italian fine dining restaurant in Marlboro, set in a Victorian house, offers very good, consistent contemporary Italian dishes. This is a good place to go if you are looking for excellent Italian food in a restaurant that serves alcohol with a good wine list, and has tables spaced apart for quiet conversation. Set on two levels, the lower level is the preferred seating. The upstairs is less attractive and you run the risk of being seated near large parties. The service is friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about their daily specialties and standard menu items. There is also an extensive wine list. For starters, when available, try their special home made pasta appetizer. It's excellent. Other popular choices are the hot antipasto with clams, mussels, shrimp in a scampi sauce, mozzarella carozza and eggplant rollatini; or the fried breaded calamari. Popular entrees include; Sea Bass marechiare, sauteed with garlic, olive oil, white wine-in a light tomato sauce; Grilled salmon with grilled vegetables, topped with capers and black olives in a light white wine and garlic sauce; Veal martini with bread crumbs, grated cheese and sauteed in a white wine cream sauce; and Veal chop, double cut, served with mixed vegetables. When available, try the Branzini. The Mediterranean seabass is flown in overnight from Italy and prepared fresh . At Sam Vera's, they will cook it and bring it to your table and ask if you prefer to have it served European style with it's head and tail still intact, or have it served American style with the head, tail, and bones removed. It is considered by many Branizini lovers to be best Branzini in the Monmouth County area, and possible all of New Jersey.If you live in the area, and you are looking for a fine Italian dining experience, with a good wine list, then try this restaurant --- it's worth the trip |
