    Fantastic service and delicious food- the perfect combination that describes La Cipollina. This place has been here in Freehold for over 4 decades. It shows. It’s evident that the servers are professionally trained from their attire to their demeanor. The food is scrumptious. The cheeses are next level. I’ll definitely be back- again and again.
