Thats Amore Italian Grill
A Marlboro, NJ Rating and Review

Thats Amore Italian Grill
430 US Highway 9
Marlboro, NJ
(732) 536-0886‎

This restaurant is just a another mediocre Italian restaurant in the Freehold-Marlboro area that is over populated with Italian restaurants.

On the upside, the food portions are very large and reasonably priced. The decor is attractive. Located in a free standing building on the north lane of Rt 9, the walls are adorned with Italian paintings with scenes from Italy, and accented in stucco and terra-cotta. A gas fireplace in the rear of the dining room provides a warm glow.

On the downside, most of the servers are unprofessional, a little gruff, and lack interest in making the effort to ensure the dining patron is pleased. If you want fresh ground pepper, or grated cheese, you will have to flag down the server, similarly, if you want your bottle of white wine placed on ice. The menu selections are old style Italian, and lack the creativity found at many of the areas Italian restaurants.

Having said that, Thats Amore is filled to capacity on weekends, largely due to its generous portions and reasonable prices.

A highlight of the dinner is the very tasty, and warm oven-baked rolls. The salad is complimentary with most entrees, but very average.

For starters, the popular items are the Golden Fried Calamari, and the Clams Casino.

For dinner entrees, the popular items include, the Rigatoni in a Creamy Vodka sauce with prosciutto and shallots; Clams with Linguine with a choice of red or garlic sauce, and the Veal Parmigiano with linguine.
