Porcini - HIGHLANDS

This restaurant is fantastic! The food was outstanding, and the service matched. We visited on a Saturday night when the place was bustling, and I can see why it was so busy. Every dish my table ordered (I tried them all) was tasty, and the dessert I had—a chocolate mousse with salted caramel—was absolutely incredible! I will definitely return!

What a joy to find a wonderful restaurant that isn 't noisy or trying to be trendy at the shore. This is simply fantastic food at a good price in a warm, inviting setting. Owners Alexandria and Chris have created an intimate dining experience perfect for lovers AND families. One of the best of all of the dining options from the Highlands to Bayhead! A stunning menu of homemade pastas and desserts, with daily specials. Bring your favorite wine and a hearty appetite for multi-course feast of the senses! Yum!

One of the very best restaurants in Monmouth County. Delicious food, great staff, great atmosphere. This is a real gem.

My boyfriends family and I came here to celebrate our birthdays, and let me tell you, everything was made with passion and the food was so fresh and flavorful. We all got different dishes and desserts and shared them. There wasn't a single item we didn't like. The presentation of every dish was beautiful. All of the meat and seafood was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend even ordered shrimp scampi and it wasn't on the menu but they still made it! The pasta was homemade and delectable. I got the crab cakes and they were HANDS DOWN the best crab cakes I've ever had. Real fresh crab, nice crispy outside and it wasn't loaded with fillers. The grilled peach salad was perfection, the sweetness of the peach with the saltiness of the prosciutto and the creaminess of the Gorgonzola was the most amazing combination. We ordered dessert and the gelato was incredible and the watermelon lemonade sorbet was refreshing and sweet. The banana bread pudding was light, sweet, moist and delicious. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Alexandria and Chris really show pride in their restaurant and you can see it in every aspect. Truly a wonderful dining experience. I can't wait to go back !! Thank you for a wonderful evening.

It was our first time there and what an awesome place. Everything we had was delicious and the service impeccable. We highly recommend it! We will be back for sure�
