Let me introduce you to Il Giardinello Di Bacoli, an Italian restaurant that feels like a neighborhood favorite the moment you hear about it, especially if you’re around Toms River, New Jersey.

Girls trip to the beach and we wanted authentic Italian food. Giardinello’s did not disappoint! Our server Billy was very kind and informative (and a great picture taker) We took his recommendations for a lot of the appetizers and he knew what he was talking about! So good. The Vodka Rigatoni and clams oraganto were the stars of the show if you have room for dessert definitely try the Carrot Cake. Next time we are in the area we definitely will be coming back

Where do I begin with this wonderful establishment? Well, I’ve been going to Il Giardinello for 4 years now, and both before and after the change of ownership the food and service has always been reliably phenomenal. I usually get Bill, as our groups server, and he is extremely attentive, kind, and has a varying knowledge of the menu. I always bring my family, friends, boyfriend, and anyone else to Il Giardinello whenever I have an excuse to go there. Another hidden gem within Toms River! Your staff and food are just delightful overall, I have so many kind words!!

I have to say it was one of the best and most enjoyable restaurant experiences I've had. And we go out a lot! I was highly impressed with the waiter Billy's, wonderful personality, knowledge of the the food, and extremely excellent service. The food was second to none and the portions were huge! I could go on and on. Will definitely be back and it will be the first recommendation to my friends and family, perfect for any occasion.
