Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Long Branch

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!

We always love coming here. The staff makes us feel welcomed and the seaside ambience couldn't be more classic. The varied menu gives us plenty of options. I would say the food is good, but we don't necessarily come here for outstanding food. Nevertheless, we always have a delightful time, and I'm happy to support this local icon that has been in the family at this location for over 100 years! Recommend!

Haven’t been in a while and had a wonderful experience with outstanding service and food was incredible. I had Pasta and my husband had the Pork Chop. Both cooked to perfection! Won’t wait so long next time to return! Thank you Sirena!

The event was a French wine tasting, and each of the four selections was excellent. We eagerly look forward to a similar event at the AP Rooftop in the near future!!!

Wonderful service and excellent waiter. Food was delicious and bit pricey. But, you’re at the beach. What can you expect!
