The food was excellent. I had the shrimp scampi and my husband had a stuffed chicken pasta dish. So delicious My husband and I really enjoyed our Anniversary Dinner there .. the wine was delicious too

Outstanding experience on Sunday March 24, 2024. My wife and I were in the Toms River area and decided to visit after not being there for several years. Wonderful decision. Classic "old school" restaurant that seems to have "gone with the wind". Lovely venue with a roomy dining room... linen covered tables and napkins; "conservatory type" large "atrium style" windows completed the ambience with appropriate uniformed staff to assist. Every diner that afternoon seemed to be having a delightful meal. My wife is of Italian descent and rarely chooses an Italian restaurant for dinner out. When she does ... it's because they have items on the menu that she doesn't prepare. Today ... not seeing Zuppa di pesce on the menu... she asked our server Antonio, if it was a possibility. He answered, "I'll ask the chef ... if he has the ingredients, he probably will make it". Fortunately he did. As meals are prepared to order... the wait was worth it. (39$ which included baby lobster tails) We had warm semolina bread and appetizers of baked oysters and a beet salad with wonderful bourbon manhattans while we waited. (BTW craft cocktails were $11.50 each. Robust glasses of Ruffino Chianti at 8.50 each... Thank you). Entrees did not disappoint; in quality, quantity and price. I had broiled rack of lamb, (4 "medium temp" meaty chops) served with a "nice portion" of mashed potatoes and vegetable medley: (broccoli, squash, zucchini and baby asparagus) 41$, which didn't disappoint. Cappuccino and double espresso with a suggested snifter of sambucco (with 3 coffee beans) was a nice finish. Thank you. We'll be back!!

In my opinion, one of the better Italian restaurants in the area. Lena (owner) is always warm & friendly, the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. As for the food - prices have gone up, but that's everywhere, but the portions have gotten smaller so i can deal with one or the other but both takes the value away from the price of the meal. The food is very good - Veal Parm., Oso Buco (my favorite) is the best of ANY restaurant to ever make it (ask for it w/ Parmesan Risotto), Clams Oraganato is always excellent. This is not the BEST Italian in Ocean county (See my review of Fiore Russo) , but very good none the less....

Love Amalfi! My family has been coming here for years. We have spent major holidays and it is a true staple in the area if you are looking for good Italian food. The family that runs the restaurant is wonderful and we have always had a pleasant experience. Thanks to Villa Amalfi for YEARS of beautiful family memories.

Have driven past for years and have always wanted to try. Made a reservation and finally went. The food was great and service was very good. Many food options will have to come back.

Had a very nice dinner at Villa Amalfi while in Toms River. We didn't have reservations but it was early so we were able to sit down. They have a nice wine selection to choose from. Too many to list. The salad and food was very good. The Chicken Parmesan was so tender - a definite treat that night. I was pleased that it wasn't very loud while dining. I enjoy going to dinner where I don't have to raise my voice to talk with who I am with. We had an excellent waiter. Very attentive and provided excellent service.
