Great pasta dishes! The pasta with vodka sauce was good; the sauce was a bit too watery but the flavors were nice. The fettuccine alfredo was good, but had a weird aftertaste. I think the aftertaste comes from them using quality ingredients and not cheap ones, but it still tasted a bit strange. The only thing keeping this review from 5 stars was the service. To be honest, the service sucked. We had to ask for our water to be refilled each time and it took forever for us to get our check. It was also very expensive—about $24 per pasta dish. For just pasta, this is a little much…
TLDR: Food was great, service was below average!

Absolutely delicious food and cocktails. You just can’t go wrong here. Huge portions. Very , very friendly staff. I especially lived the scungilli, which is hard to get elsewhere. Perfect. Loved the Expresso martinis that our wonderful waitress suggested. We all truly loved our meals and will return very soon.

We were on a family vacay along the Jersey Shore. We are huge Bruce Springsteen fans and naturally, visited many local haunts that were favorites of his. And like many Springsteen fans we’ve heard that Bruce can sometimes pop up by surprise around town. But tonight, we met another famous Bruce from the Garden State – The bartender at Tuzzio’s in Long Branch, who kindly chatted with us.
Tuzzio’s serves huge portions of delicious Italian classics. Grandma’s Meatballs made with raisins and Pinolis were the highlight of the meal. Tuzzio’s is cozy and not far from the boardwalk area and Ocean Ave.
This is a great place for a home cooked meal with all the Italian fixen’s.

It is not fancy but the food is excellent. It has been started by his their father in 1965 now his son runs the business. The front was the original part. Their is a bar and some tables and booths. Later a room was added in the back. It is worth a try. He makes a special mixed salad. It is excellent. Wonderful lobster and shrimp franchise over angel hair pasta. So many great Italian meals handed down from the family. My husband and I live it. Dress is casual. Prices reasonable. Also has daily specials every day.

My family has been eating there for 32 years… haven’t finished a meal yet! Huge portions give you enough leftovers for a second meal tomorrow. If you’re looking for fine dining, this is not the place for you. If you’re looking for good food at a great price, then this family owned and operated establishment is the place to go! There’s nothing better than the friendly hosts and cold beer- you will not be disappointed.

The meal I had, Shrimp Parmesan was outstanding and super delicious, and super expensive. Enough for 3 meals for myself! My husband had Linguini with White Clam Sauce (also over priced), which tasted very good, but had very little clams in it that we saw, and barely a hint of sauce, it was dry. Mostly just olive oil. My dad had lasagna, which although tasted very good, was a pile of slop on the dinner plate. So its a badly mixed review. Flavor was really good for 3 overpriced dinners including one incomplete meal. Probably will never go back. We went there after being given a gift certificate, so we figured, why not? I was disappointed overall. Wish we were given some credit back on the bill after complaining. Dessert was not even included, and only offered about 3 or 4 items. There was nothing fancy about the decor, just old dark wood and dull lighting. And our server was just okay, nothing to write home about. Would not recommend to family or friends. Not worthy of going back, the experience was sad, and the place could use an overhaul, including the menues. What a shame.

Booked my mother’s birthday party here and I can’t say enough about this place. The service was excellent and the food was not only amazingly delicious but the portions were HUGE!!! And seeing as our party was at 2 and they dont open til 4, we had the whole place to ourselves. Everyone in my party just raved about the food. Would definitely book another party with them.

Oh my. Don’t know how we missed this restaurant for all these years. Great food. Most expensive bar dinner I have ever had but we’ll worth it. I don’t even like meatballs but the bartender talked us into trying Grandma’s and we ordered extra to bring home! Decadent cheesecake (could use fresh berries). All excellent!
