Best Italian Restaurants in Normandy Beach

This was our first visit since they reopened under the Amore name. Great to see familiar surroundings and menu. The food was great, as always and the service was very hands on. Owner, Ken, makes it a point to walk around table to table talking with diners. We will certainly be returning soon.

Scratch Kitchen is a welcomed addition to the sometimes lackluster restaurants in the Jersey Shore area. At Scratch they show a respect for their diners from their exemplary service, table settings, written specials and presentation to the quality of the food served. It is also very nice to have a crusty bread service to accompany a meal that by its nature encourages “dipping”. The meal I enjoyed was the cod with cannellini beans along with an order of well seasoned potatoes. While cod can sometimes be bland, this dish was filled with delicious flavors. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be sure to reserve when I return from Charleston SC in the near future.

The food is so delicious 😋 I love the stuffed artichoke. The meatballs are big and delicious. For dessert you have to get the ice box cake it really brings back memories of growing up to me. Just a little expensive.

Excellent food and service! A great experience Bravo!!
