Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Belmar

We had a wonderful experience to celebrate a birthday. The service was excellent, and the ambience was perfect for the event. The food was delicious, and the presentation was also good. Everything is a bit overpriced, especially for the area, but there was enough for leftovers, so I can’t complain too much. It was a great evening!

Trama's has become my favorite restaurant. The food is amazing, starting with the Caesar salad (which is a favorite dish I must try whenever it's on the menu-theirs is the best). I chose the fluke this time, absolutely delicious. The service is excellent as well, with the staff providing a welcoming warm, comfortable setting.

Chose to try Piccola for something new. Made a reservation but some confusion and we wound up in the bar seating area, okay but a little noisy. Service was pleasant but slow. Food was very good - if a touch expensive. Overall very nice, would try again and be more specific about seating.

We went back to try again for valentine's day. Our service was excellent (we had Chris our server from the first visit) Nino visited our table and was kind and gracious. The food was excellent. I had the grilled pork chop with sliced, slightly grilled, apples with a conac demi-glace and garlic mashed potatoes. My bf the spinach fettuccine dish. But plates were almost licked clean. We're definitely coming back. Well done!

Fantastic meal all around. Roman gnocchi is always a must, the artichoke appetizer was delicious as well. The pizzas and pasta speak for themselves and are some of the best in NJ. The pistachio tiramisu was a great finish to an amazing meal. When my wife and I are celebrating special occasions, we always find ourselves at La Lupa. Keep up the great work.
