Tardi's Italiano - Toms River

Amazing restaurant. A hidden gem, you would never know this place is one of the best resturants in town until you come here. Its worth the trip. Small place that packs a big punch

The food was rather average overall. The calamari appetizer didn't impress—it was somewhat mushy and tough. I ordered the veal Francaise, but it fell short of my expectations. The restaurant is quite small and, with a party of nine plus a baby, we were seated right by the kitchen entrance. I was positioned closest to the door and got bumped into several times. Given that there were nine of us, I was taken aback when I was told during our reservation that we would have the table for just an hour and a half. The espresso was good, but the serving size was quite small—only about a third of a cup. You’d be better off making your own at home. On a positive note, our picky eater enjoyed the pasta and sauce, although our older daughter was let down by the meatballs, wishing for her grandmother’s recipe instead. The highlights of the meal were the bruschetta and the Italian cheesecake, both of which were quite delightful.

This was not our best visit at Tardi. Thinking that the chef Joe was not on site. We had a party of 8 and we all agreed that everything we ordered was awful. It will be our last trip there. Unfortunate since we have been with them since their early days in PPB.

Another hidden gem in Toms River, NJ. We have heard about this place from a few friends so we finally decided to try it out. I must say...glad we finally did! Don't let the location fool you. The food was delicious. The best shrimp scampi. Our server, Dylan (and everyone else) was very attentive. It's small inside so I highly recommend making reservations. Its BYOB too. Cannot wait to go bad...

This is our first time at Tardi’s and wondering why? We heard from a few friends about this place and we were so glad we finally tried it. Another hidden gem in Toms River. The food was excellent!!! The best Shrimp Scampi in town! Dylan, our server was great!!! His food recommendations were on point. We will definitely go back. Highly recommend it. And its BYOB.
