Monalyssa - Point Pleasant

I live near this restaurant, making it very convenient for me. In a town with limited vegan options, I appreciate that they offer a variety of choices for vegans, despite not being a fully vegan establishment. They frequently have vegan options on their daily specials menu. Although it may look like a small pizzeria at first glance, the dining room on the other side is actually quite pleasant. It's a fantastic option for families looking for a vegan meal, especially if dining with non-vegans, as the food is delicious for everyone.

There are no vegan restaurants in this area, so it's a treat when a restaurant offers a full vegan menu instead of just one option. I tried the 4-course meal during Jersey Shore Restaurant Week, which included vegan avocado bruschetta, salad with balsamic dressing, vegan eggplant rollatini with angel hair pasta, and a vegan raspberry tart. The avocado bruschetta was fantastic, loaded with tomatoes, avocado, onions, basil, and balsamic glaze. The eggplant rollatini was also delicious, with a generous filling of ricotta and mozzarella. However, the sauce on the angel hair pasta was a bit watery. The restaurant is small with only about 7 tables, so unfortunately, you may smell other meat dishes. The staff was attentive, but the wait time was a bit long, so it's best not to go when you're extremely hungry. I would definitely return to try their other vegan options.
