Marandolas - BRADLEY BEACH

Food was FABULOUS!!! I would repeat our mussel appetizer if I could (not pictured) the spicy sauce was delicious with it. The atmosphere with the outdoor kitchen was incredible. We talked to the host and our neighbors around us. It was so friendly! We'll be back. Exceptional service and staff! Thank you.

Great experience, really great experience! The food was very good and the service was top-class. We started with the meatballs, they were dense, but full of taste and the texture was excellent. I have the short rib that cooked for perfection and quite slim overall. We also had the halibut; perfectly cooked and the execution of the Oreganata was correct, not above the top at all. Rueben was a gracious host who worked the dining room as if it were his own home. A really refreshing experience!

For the first time last night. The place is filled with repeated customers. Many large tables full of lively people enjoy the BYOB environment. Food is traditional NJ Italian cuisine. Prices are reasonable and the service is smooth. The manager/host makes a point to stop at any table to establish a personal connection. Great local Bradley beach vibe . Bring a beautiful bottle of wine and enjoy a beautiful coveted evening .

We ate in Marandolas for the first time after we passed it a hundred times and didn't even recognize the jewel of a restaurant we passed. This place is a real hidden gem. Let me do this by saying I never take the time to write Google reviews (maybe 1 every 5 years). The food here is spectacular, and the service is top notch. This was the best culinary experience I had in a very long time. Mark the owner and Rueben the manager could not have been more beautiful and accommodating. We'll eat regularly here.

Been meaning to try Marandola's for a few years, noticed that they were having a restaurant week special, and made a reservation to dine there last night. Everything was fantastic, I wish I had come sooner! The food was incredible, the staff was attentive, and they made the experience of dining with a (reasonably well behaved) toddler quite comfortable. My fiancé and I shared their Caesar salad (excellent/homemade dressing) and their tasty beans shrimp appetizer (similar base to Pasta Faggioli), which was perfection! For entrée she savored the Veal Saltimbocca dish, tender and cooked perfectly, and I enjoyed Bell Evans chicken breast with delicious sweet sausage, incredible broccoli rabe potatoes. Our toddler got a little fussy, so we took home dessert a tasty cannoli tiramisu. Everything was great, even saw some acquaintances that are regulars will be back soon!!!
