We enjoyed our night. The food was good. Pictured here is chicken parm, cacio e Pepe, tiramisu & the pork chop. Wine was reasonably priced. Service lacked some finishing touches for a place at this price point.

Visited right during the transition to the new ownership. Food was top-notch, and they have a great wine selection. Service and the view were amazing.

Food was fresh and delicious. We got the calamari, mozzarella, baked clams, Bronzino, vodka rigatoni, and filet. Our server, Anna, was exceptional. Would return

Monmouth mule and the rigatoni was absolute a must try. I am so impressed. The bartender Laura was also lovely. Will be coming back.

amazing dining experience at abbiocco. The menu is well blended and very western. The ambiance is super luxurious and the prices are fair.
My service lady Luisa, was top-notch. She helped me choose some great choices and drinks and was attentive the entire time. The rest of the staff was also very professional, I noticed.
In summary, great food, excellent service and a real Colombian vibe. This is a must-visit, and I will return for sure to try out different tastes of the menu.

Monmouth Beach, NJ: Waterfront Dining, Dock & Dine, Outdoor patio. One of our top favorites all around for atmosphere, menu and service.

I wanted to like this place. Maybe I will in the future.
We arrived ten minutes early for our reservations and we were told that we had to wait 10 minutes to be seated, that we could not be seated early, and we were encouraged to go to the bar. We were going to have wine anyway so we went to the bar. 30 minutes later we had to ask if our table was ready yet and we were told that it would be in a few minutes. We had to close out at the bar and then we were instructed to take our on glasses and wine and bring it to our table.
The service and management so far was questionable at best.
We ordered four delicious dishes and a great bottle of wine. The food and drink were by far the best part of the meal. The staff was young and immature, although our waitress was great, but it seemed like they opened too early, did not know what they were doing, and were overwhelmed.
While I am completely in favor of high school students working in places like this, I’m not sure that they should be running the show. That’s what it seemed like. I spent $200 on dinner for 2, but I did not get $200 service.
I will return next year with the hopes that the experience gets better, otherwise I will not return. There are too many other great restaurants in the area to settle for less than very good.

We went here recently on a Sunday night and it was nice and quiet as expected. The outdoor dining was closed so we ate inside. Very nice dining room and atmosphere with a great view of the water and the large yachts in the marina. My filet mignon was excellent and the cut of meat was top notch. The soup was good but wasn’t worth $18. My wife had the chicken parmigiana and said it was just OK and she has had much better at other restaurants. I can’t remember what the other couple had for dinner but they said theirs was OK as well but not outstanding. This restaurant was insanely expensive so we will not be returning. For the 4 of us the final tab was over $425 with tip and we didn’t even order a bottle of wine. Some of us split appetizers and the guys had a couple of drinks and a glass of house wine while the ladies had one drink. My suggestion to this restaurant is to cut back on the portions and the price of the appetizers. For example don’t serve a bowl of soup for $18, serve a cup instead at a lower price. My wife had the meatball appetizer which was also pricey with 3-4 big meatballs. Nobody wants that much food before the main course. My wife said if we are going to spend over $100 a person for dinner we would rather go to Angelica’s in Sea Bright.

Salads and entrees were very good and excellent portion for main course. Service was good. Noise level was a little high. Beautifully decorated. While portions are good size would be nice to have a spoonful of pasta with chicken parm and a few spears of asparagus or something on the plate of fish.
Pricey for just an entree with nothing else.

Was looking forward to trying this place . We had reservations and had to wait 30 to 40 minutes for a table. Finally got seated and there was no wine glasses or silverware on the table. When the waitress came to ask if we’d like to order appetizers the hostess had forgotten to give us menus. We finally got our drink order in and they brought us bread and we had to ask for the butter and oil. Food was kinda tasty, except plastic in meatballs. You would’ve thought that somebody would’ve come over and apologized more than just the waitress. The icing on the cake was when the valet brought our keys in and said that the owner didn’t want to pay him to stay. We asked him if the cars were parked close and he said they were. When we left to find the cars they were all The way down the street. Not a good evening
