Went here for the first time this evening with my sisters and we couldn’t get over how beautifully the restaurant was designed and all the attention to detail. Additionally, the food was delicious, we shared a bunch of plates but forgot to take photos. Highly recommend trying the cacio e Pepe polenta and brussel sprouts sides. We also LOVED our server Violet who recommended so many amazing dishes and a tastey bottle of wine. Highly recommend visiting Catezza and asking for Violet!

Went for restaurant week. A lot of the things we were looking forward to trying were out. They switched the salad for a caprese which was fantastic. The other app we got were the meatballs which were good but slightly salty. For mains we got the short rib risotto, which was incrediblyyyyyyy salty, and the pasta bolognese, which was supposed to be papardelle but they ran out and we did bucatini instead, it was good but not amazing. They were out of vanilla gelato and the olive oil cake but kindly offered us different gelato options that weren’t originally on the menu. Service was great, ambiance is great, very classy and clean. Music is jazzy. Just sad that a lot of the restaurant week items were sold out (even though we went earlier in the evening, at 6:30), and that a couple of dishes were overly salty.

We landed at Catezza purely by chance — Birravino had a 2–3 hour wait, so we wandered in next door. Turned out to be a happy accident!
The vibe here is upscale retro — think a classy 1960s club with two bars, marble tables, cozy chairs, and a low-lit, warm energy that just feels right. You can tell they’ve put thought into the décor — it’s stylish without trying too hard.
Our server Keri was an absolute gem — friendly, sharp, and a fantastic mixologist. Her Old Fashioned was perfection: smoky, bourbon-forward, and not sugary (a rare thing these days). The Mojito was also on point — minty, crisp, and fresh instead of syrupy sweet. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ on the drinks alone!
The menu is very limited — not much to choose from. We started with the bread basket (nothing complimentary here), served with lemon oil and whipped ricotta — interesting combo, though the bread didn’t taste freshly baked. The Caprese was unique — no tomatoes, just cucumber, pepper, and creamy burrata. Oddly enough, it worked!
For mains, we tried the spicy tomato sea bass — fish was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful. But spicy? Nope! More like –1 on a 5-point scale ️ . Still, the tomato broth was tasty — make sure to ask for a spoon so you can enjoy the sauce properly. I’d rate cooking a 4/5, but plating only a 2/5 — presentation felt more “local pizzeria” than fine dining.
Dessert was a mixed bag. The olive oil cake with fig jam had a great concept but wasn’t fresh; the fig jam was delicious though. The tiramisu gelato was average — honestly, better gelato is just a short drive away in Freehold.
Overall, Catezza is a lovely spot for cocktails, conversation, and ambiance — not a culinary masterpiece, but worth visiting for the vibe and that unbeatable Old Fashioned.

Our early Christmas Eve dinner was spectacular. Every option on the prix fixe menu was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We loved the entire experience and can’t wait to return to try the regular menu.

My wife and I stumbled upon this place completely by chance—it was our first time visiting, and we honestly had no expectations walking in. But wow, were we pleasantly surprised!
From the moment we entered, we were impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The décor is beautiful—elegant but cozy, with thoughtful touches that make the space feel both stylish and comfortable.
The service was top-notch. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great suggestions without being pushy.
Every dish we ordered was fresh and full of flavor, but the pasta truly stood out. It was perfectly cooked and had that rich!
All in all, this was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Great atmosphere, amazing service, and food that genuinely impressed us. We’re already planning to come back—and next time, we’re trying more pasta dishes!

Catezza was an incredible experience. My husband and I tried it for Valentine’s Day and it exceeded all our expectations. Our waitress, Violet, is so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about food. She provided incredible recommendations, everything she recommended from drinks to appetizers to entrées were fantastic. We even asked her to surprise us with a wine pairing to our entrées, and it did not miss. We were too full for dessert but we will definitely be back in the future and will recommend it to our friends and family for any occasion.

Came here for a rare date night with my husband. Everything was incredible. The Calabrian tuna over risotto and gabagool crostini were the perfect appetizers. Then we shared a swordfish and a stuffed chicken parm Entree. We had warm chocolate chip cookies with mascarpone whipped cream to finish our meal. Michael, our server, was incredible. He was so personable, gave us top notch suggestions, and even better service. Top notch meal and experience.

We chose this spot for our annual cousins dinner based on good reviews, but the experience was very mediocre. The decor is lovely and really makes an impression when you walk in and sit down, but the experience for us was downhill from there. The food was good but not great. We had a 7pm reservation and they were already out of 5 different menu items. One of our party ordered the scallop risotto that was so undercooked it was crunchy, but other items were better like the pizza and side veggies. Our server was inattentive and took forever to take our order and check back in – it took us 3 hours to finish our dinner because of how long we waited. During our meal, the restaurant’s fire alarm went off for 10 minutes straight. The entire kitchen staff evacuated which we could see because it was open right behind our table but the restaurant staff said nothing to us the entire time. When it finally stopped going off, our server approached and ask if we wanted dessert after “the show”. He offered no apology or explanation – I found this very rude. I would not come back here or recommend this place to anyone. Poor value and low quality service but very expensive. I hope they can do better in the future.

Wow – what an exceptional dinner. Brussels sprouts with fennel and pine nut salad so good as well as the tuna appy. Wild boar cavitelli and organic chicken with pesto also exceptional. Best dinner in a while! Will definitely return!
