Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Old Bridge

Recently, we had the pleasure of dining at A Salute and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped in, the warm ambiance and welcoming staff set the tone for an unforgettable experience.

The food was delicious as always. I moved from NJ and was excited to be going there. It’s a great restaurant 😀

Food and service were excellent as usual. Branzino was beautifully presented and perfectly prepared. Tricolore salad was plentiful, fresh and delicious. Eggplant parm was amazing. Chocolate lava cake and affogato were spectacular.
