Red Bank Italian Restaurants
Italian food = comfort food. The Red Bank area has many great Italian Restaurants. Red Bank Italian
Restaurants run the gambit; very casual to upscale, BYOB and those with liquor licenses.

The Galleria
2 Bridge Avenue
Red Bank, New Jersey
(732) 758-0999
Fax: (732) 758-9399
2 Senza is located in the hip "Galleria" building at the corners of Bridge and Front Streets in Red Bank. The restaurant is BYOB "officially" but there is a wine store
adjacent to the restaurant so you can pick from a nice but small selection of inexpensive wines and carry it in the
door. The restaurant is owned by Jill Green; an active member of the community and a host for many local charitable events at her restaurant. 2
Senza is also a prized Red Bank Caterer.
The atmosphere is casual but chic with the original brick facade of the Galleria prominently playing to the restaurant's decor. The
moderately priced food
at 2 Senza is always very good even though chefs have changed over the past 10+ years in business. The restaurant
is a regular destination for wine and food lovers; often you will see bottles of wine that exceed $100 carried into the
restaurant from local wine collectors. Make a reservation and get excited for a wonderful meal at 2 Senza, if you
have not visited in a long time. Service is always attentive and friendly and the open kitchen creates a unique
charm not found in any other Red Bank Italian Restaurant.
10 Wallace Street
Red Bank, NJ 07701

Gaetano's is located on
Wallace Street, off of Broad Street, so if you are driving down the main drag in town, you may miss this important
destination for Italian food. A large municipal parking lot is right past the restaurant on Wallace so you
don't have to worry about parking in Red Bank.
I love this restaurant for their pizza, broccoli rabe and
sausage pasta and their open kitchen feel. The only drawback is that their service can be spotty since they have a
young, experienced wait staff. The restaurant is clean and the food is very good. This is a great family
destination with no worries that if the kids get restless they will be a problem.
Gaetano's is a BYOB
restaurant although they are joining the every growing crowd of restaurant offering NJ wine. In my opinion, NJ
wine and good Italian food have no place being at the same table. This is not to say I'm a wine snob, but Italian
food deserves good Italian wine. So bring a bottle of Chianti or Brunello di Montalcino when you visit Gaetano's.
Osteria Dante - Red Bank Italian Restaurant
91 Broad Street
Red Bank, NJ 07701
732-530-0602
In the summer of 2006 the restaurant was sold to my
initial chagrin because the former owner was a season restaurateur and a welcome part of the Red Bank community.
I have since dined at Osteria Dante two times and although
the wait staff is uninspired, the food was very good and worthy of inclusion in this Red Bank Italian restaurant
directory. The pasta dishes are all well made and cooked perfectly so you can't go wrong with any of their pasta
creations.
On warm days the restaurant serves lunch and dinner on
their patio which is a great spot for people watching; although a bit noisy from the cars that pass on Broad Street.
Check out Osteria Dante to discover your favorite Italian dish in Red Bank and then go for a stroll and burn off the
calories with some serious shopping.
50 Maple Avenue
Red Bank, NJ 07701

Buona Sera Restaurant is one of the hottest Red
Bank Italian Restaurants in town both for its food and its night life. On Thursday nights there is often a line to
get into the lounge because the second floor lounge is jammed with dancers.
Portions at Buona Sera at enormous and doggie bags are
common as local residents come back time after time for their Italian dishes. Buona Sera is a great location for a
company party or going out with a large group of friends.
