Red Bank is a great town and I've always enjoyed the local dining whenever I'm visiting the Jersey Shore. I've traveled extensively through Europe, and in particular, Italy and I'll say without reservation....this food is NOT Italian! The owner is arrogant and rude and intimidates his employees. We were a party of 8 and I ordered the Seafood with linguine - it came out like soup (almost boiling) which makes the pasta go from 'al dente' to mush in a matter of seconds. The seafood was so over done that the shrimp was chewy and hard. It was terrible! So, I asked to see the owner/manager. He came over so I explained that this food was unacceptable and told us to LEAVE!! Yes, you're reading this correctly .....he told a party of eight to LEAVE!! His words were, ""Leave! Get out! No one comes in here and tells me my food is bad!"" If I knew I wouldn't get arrested .....I'd have dumped that entire bowl of boiled seafood soup w/ mushy noodles in his arrogant New York head!! NEVER NEVER go to this place!! Tom at Gaetano's Restaurant - 10 Wallace Street, Red Bank, NJ 07701 is 10 times better food and he's a nice guy! Spend your money $$$ wisely! Good Luck :)
Pros: Red Bank
Cons: The OWNER and the FOOD!
