It’s always a great meal at Semolina. The cace Pepe was too peppery for us, but prepared well. We couldn’t resist having the pork, which was delicious as usual.

Dined here during Jersey Shore Restaurant Week. Out of all the participating restaurants, The GOAT offered the best selections. The food was outstanding and the service was very good. I always enjoy dining at a restaurant where my friends and I can talk and actually hear each other. We truly enjoyed our dining experience and will definitely return.

You absolutely won’t regret dining at Oishii Sushi! The fish is incredibly fresh, and the sushi is both delicious and beautifully presented. The service is top-notch, making the experience even better. We’ll definitely return and make this our go-to spot for both dining in and takeout. Highly recommended!
