    This is a lovely intimate place tucked away on a side street in Red Bank, NJ. The food is always interesting and well made. The menu choices, without specials is lean, but can accommodate everyone's needs. So much for gastronomy! The list of do's and don'ts on the website and at the front door are a bit onerous. I understand this is a small place and to keep it moving smoothly there should be some order to it. But arriving to a near empty place and being told we had to stand in a drafty, cold entry until our friends arrived, even when we said we would not expect to be greeted or served until we all 4 were present, was a bit over the top. Who wants to come in from the cold, bundled in coats and scarves and look at an empty room and be denied a place to sit inside? Staff has to have the leeway to act appropriately for the given situation. Once seated and served, meal was worthwhile, but the undertone and ritual vibe is unwelcomed.

    Hands down the best restaurant in the Ocean/Monmouth county area. Unbelievable food quality, presentation, service and hospitality. Reasonably priced and BYOB. Semolina sits as the king of my restaurant rotation.

    Always a treat to come to Semolina! Great friendly and welcoming staff to greet us even after a long time away - we stay at a distance during the summer - parking is still a nightmare in RedBank. Food is aways superior = pasta still my favorite - anyone of them!

    The food is the best around- my companions said it was the best meal they’ve had in a very long time. Very inventive menu- wild boar bolognese, venison carpaccio, delicious fish and beef choices. Our server was fantastic- down-to-earth and knowledgeable while being just friendly enough. Not in expensive but worth it for a special gathering. All around superb!!
