Best Casual Restaurants in Colts Neck

I cannot say enough good things about our experience at 618 last night! We celebrated my best friend’s bachelorette, and it was truly an unforgettable evening, thanks to the incredible staff and attention to detail. From the moment I made the reservation, the manager, Frankie, called me to see how they could make the bride’s night extra special. And let me tell you, they went above and beyond! When we arrived, there were personalized welcome cards at our table featuring the bride’s theme, which was such a lovely touch. But the highlight was the custom drink they created just for her—complete with a picture of the bride in the drink! She was absolutely stunned and couldn’t stop smiling. It’s rare to feel so taken care of at a restaurant, but 618 truly made us all feel like VIPs. Our waiter, Marc N, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. He made sure we had everything we needed and kept the atmosphere fun and lighthearted throughout the evening. Frankie also stopped by to check on us multiple times and made sure everything was perfect. The service here is truly top-notch! Not only was the food absolutely delicious (I’m still thinking about the dishes we had), but the entire team made the bride feel incredibly special, with everyone offering congratulations throughout the evening. I’m so grateful to everyone at 618 for making this such a memorable celebration. If you’re looking to celebrate a special occasion or just want a phenomenal dining experience, 618 is the place to be!

We had tickets for a 7pm show at the Count Basie Theater a block away so I made a reservation at Pazzo for 5:15pm for dinner before the show. We were seated a few minutes early which is always nice when you're in a time crunch. Once seated the waiter came over promptly and we proceeded with ordering our drinks, an appetizer and dinner. We did not rush anything and we were done with dinner and out the door by 6:15. The food was great as usual. We ordered mussels and lentil soup for an appetizer, chicken marsala and orichiette pasta w/ broccoli rabe for our entrees. I would definitely recommend Pazzo, but on a Saturday night you definitely need reservations!

Food, service , price all great!! Never had a bad meal here. Never!

Great place! Went for light lunch with the girls. Next time we will actually golf!
