Jules is the best around.

How did "Pizza and Panini" not make this list.

How did Artisan's Brewery and Italian not make this list???

I guess this is where you cast your vote?
Giavanni's, Fischer boulevard. Fresh homemade soups, tiramisu made on site, everything made to order, delicious! Reasonably priced, and is in restaurant.com!

Fiore Rosa in Silverton

Down here, Great places are; Il Giardenello's, Villa Amilfi & Villa Victoria....Rivoli's ( Pasta haven ) is Snookie bait , Il Garbage all the way ! Giavanni's on Fisher and Villa Viento in Brick are also good places..Jules hangs in there, in a pinch...as well as Cafe Italia on 37...Not Aqua Blue...whatever were you thinking..terrible , Rivoli's might even be better and that's stretching it >>>>>

I decide by opening my mail and seeing who sent me a coupon each week. Get some coupon ads for "Patch" and I'll buy from them, too! - PizzaFace Pepperoni, Jr.

I'll second Jules in Silverton! Made to order and fresh. Sometimes the service is a little slow so bring enough BYOB. the meal will be worth the wait!

I am in agreement with 1stcav: Il Giardinello's, Villa Amalfi, and Villa Vittoria (in Brick) ....but, I'd also add "Hot Tomato" on Fischer Blvd.

Tardi's Ristorante (formerly from Pt. Pleasant) just opened up a new restaurant on Fischer Blvd. in Bellcrest Shopping Plaza, next door to Chicken Town. Small, but good food. People may want to try there when looking for Italian.

maybe its all their customers, like me, voting....i've been to joey d's a few times, and each time the food was on point, the service was great, and the owners were very friendly. they are still new...but if they continue to stay like this, i think they have a very bright future in TR. maybe if you stop in on a friday or saturday night, when theres a wait to even get a table, you'll see the waitresses dont really have the time to stand around and vote all day. but i guess you'd know that if you had ever gone in. this is a fun poll, no need to be so negative. Il Giardinello has almost 100 votes, i guess we should just assume thats fake, too? its one thing to have an opinion and state which place you like and why. its quite another when you have to put someone down. plenty of business in TR to go around, i think. i alternate between joeys and lindas, but since lindas is in manchester, i voted for them in the manchester poll.

Joey D's got my vote

Joey D's all the way, great bang for your buck, I don't think you could do better in Toms River. Good fresh quality food served with a courteous and thankful smile.

Joey D's for me! They have a Brooklyn Grandma pizza that is heavenly! I can honestly say this is the best pizza I've had since I've lived in Brooklyn! Their sauce is UNBELIEVABLE! They should definitely enter the Boss of the Sauce contest coming up. And when it comes to their dinner menu, not only is it delicious, it is such a great bang for your buck! Every time I have gone into this place I am greeted and it feels like your truly part of the family. Oh, and Mr. Negative review up there, if you have ever tried their food you would be voting for Joey D's too! So hmmm, here's a thought, due to all these votes, maybe YOU should try it sometime!

Hey getinvolved1,
I was at Joey D's tonight at 6:50 pm and all tables were full, I ordered and got the first table just a couple of minutes before my food came out, perfect and satisfied as usual with my clams marinara.

It looks like the most votes are Joey D's, with 180; Il Giardinello, with 108, and Villa Amalfi, with 55.

Justly deserved. I have been speaking with some friends the last couple of days and they unanimously agree that Joey D's is the place for good quality and satisfying food at a reasonable price. A shame not all of them have access to the internet to vote, i believe their count would have been higher. Congratulations to the owners for setting high standards, keep it up and you will be even more successful.
Just a disclaimer, I am not relared to the owners of this establishment in any way and not beeing paid to extoll the virtues of their food, I am just a satisfied customer.

I'll try it , but the votes came in all at the same time , so maybe the STAFF & friends had some thing to do with Da total..I will try ,and get back to ya...Joeybagadonuts is dis your cousin ??? Is he connected ? Bada bing. Nicky Newarker

WILDCAT6 - who is Il Giardello? Do you mean Il Giardinello's? If so, what wine prices are you referring to, they don't serve alcohol as they are BYO? I am confused by your post.

The best kept secret in Toms River is Trattoria Giovanni on Fischer Blvd. , a small BYOB Italian place in a strip mall across from WAWA. Wonderful soups, beautifully prepared dinners at reasonable prices, all fresh food cooked in the healthy Mediterranean style. Friendly staff, and giovanni himself will always be on hand to greet you! It is absolutely THE BEST!!!!

giovanni on fischer blvd is top quality , and maintains excellence in service. il Giardinello is the BEST restaurant in toms river... if u have ate there then you know why, if u haven't yet.. stop and grab a bottle from ur local spirits and prepare ur pallet for exquisite experience! its a shame "joey d's" is on the same list.!!! obviously a local pizza joint like all the others with alberto rodriguez cooking your chicken parm which has been in their freezer for weeks.....

Villa Amilfi too expensive and not good italian food.
