Best Cozy Restaurants in South Amboy

Season 52 is always a wonderful spot for meetings or dinner. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly.

Had a great meal before a show at the State Theatre! The grilled oyster appetizer was delicious. My daughter had the duck and I had the duck confit gnocchi. Both were perfect!

first time @Deluca’s, def won’t be our last! very inviting, cozy atmosphere. we sat at the bar , Nino was our bartender, he was very attentive and friendly, ordered eggplant stack for appetizer, shrimp oreganata (shrimp was huge!) & orechiette with sausage, everything was so fresh, large portions and DELICIOUS! we will try the owners new place “Rocky’s” right across the street next time 👌🏼

This was my second time at this restaurant and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is always A1 but this time they decorated for Christmas and it was so nice. I will say this is a very lively loud restaurant so if you’re looking for something quiet, this might not be the place for you. The service is always great & the food and drinks are also very delicious.

This was my first time visiting New Brunswick, NJ, and I love Italian cuisine. I am so happy I was able to get a reservation at Catherine Lombardi’s! From start to finish, the service and atmosphere was impeccable, and the food was delicious to boot! The server was attentive and knowledgeable. The owner stopped by our table to offer insight on the menu and to check in with our group. We enjoyed the food, drinks, and dessert. Too many flavor profiles to share in detail but there is not a bad dish at all and our group tried several. I want to return to New Brunswick just to go back to the restaurant. I highly recommend Catherine Lombardi’s.
