Best restaurants near me in Middletown, NJ

Edwin was fantastic! Food was delicious and the specials were so good! Looking back to going back. I recommend trying the Samoa Martini if on special

My favorite restaurant for an after-show dinner! The food, service and atmosphere are all incredibly amazing!! Took my 88 year old mom and sister here after a Johnny Mathis Christmas concert and the staff was so kind, helping my mom get from her wheelchair to a seat at the table. The food is authentic Italian like I remember from childhood. Pricing is very reasonable and the portions are large. And the Christmas music and decorations made it feel like the perfect Christmas celebration for our girls’ night out! Thank you to all at Buona Sera!

Excellent experience. We had the lobster bisque soup which was delicious. The bone in filet w the truffle butter which jus melted on your mouth. The seasonings and texture was perfect and we had the horseradish sauce on the side w the roasted garlic. Soooo good. The creamed spinach was by far THE BEST we have ever had. Really really good. Calamari was alil chewy for me but my husband likes it like that. The marunata a aoili that wasxserved with it were rleally good tho. Ohhhh and the stuffed mushrooms were yummmmyyyy. We ordered th lamb chops and the seasons were soooo good. Really yummy and the mango sauce they serve with it is delightful. Unfortunately I was only able to have one because the others kept cooking while I was eating and they were too tough. Excellent customer service. Toni offered numerous times to remake them and the manager came over to the table and wanted to make sure we were happy with another order. He wanted to comp the meal but we declined the offer for a 3rd shot at it. They came out once over cooked and the 2nd time undercooked. We will try again next time tho because they were very tasty. Overall Excellent experience. Ambiance was great. We went in a Thursday evening at 6pm and wasn't noisey* at all. We sat downstairs and will try to sit there again next time Def treat yourself to a great meal here ENJOY!! Toni was our server and had an amazing experience with her. Shes really great. We will absolutely be back and will ask to dine w her specifically.

Dinner at Semolina on a Wednesday night in December was lovely. The "famous" Pennsy Raised pork chop with hummus and red cabbage on the side was outstanding, delicious and filling. I would highly recommend it as the flavors were exceptional. My husband ordered the Cavatelli with Broccoli and Fennel Sausage, which he said was also delicious! Our waitress, Janet was friendly and cheery. The sea salt caramel mousse for dessert was another win. We left quite satisfied.

Our server, Sabrina, was excellent. My lady and I were interested in a glass of wine. The pinot grigio was far too acidic so she brought us a Sancerre,not listed on the by the glass menu. It was perfect! The food and service were spot on. We'll be back!
