    From apps to entrees to homemade desert, everything was out of this world. By far, the best place to eat on & off the island.

    This was our first time having dinner at Breakin Bread. Our table was ready on time as we had requested, and the service was excellent. We ordered the meatball and artichoke appetizers which were outstanding. Our entrées were chicken Parmesan and shrimp with penne vodka sauce. We ended the evening sharing a lemon ricotta cheesecake, which was one of the best we’ve had. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to others looking for a boutique type atmosphere serving outstanding Italian food. We live in northern New Jersey, where we have many tremendous options and Breaking Bread is in the category of what we’re used to up north.

    As usual, our meal at Breakin Bread was wonderful! Four of us shared 3 appetizers and we each had an entree. The Chicken Milanese was outstanding. I’ve had it before (since it’s so good) but tonight’s was amazing. Breakin Bread is a BYO but we were pleasantly surprised to find that they now offer wine & it was very good. Nice assortment of California grapes.

    Was seated earlier than reservation, food was good, service was excellent. Prices on the final bill were slightly higher than on the menu, and there was no mention about that. Overall, it was a good night and will be going back

    This restaurant has excellent atmosphere and delicious food. The staff was very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming to us. Very close to boardwalk (few blocks).Highly recommended it as one of you stops when in Seaside Heights.
