Nana's Kitchen

My mom threw me the most amazing bridal shower here yesterday. The staff was incredible! They were thoughtful, and kept the party running smoothly. They were friendly and supportive and really did a fantastic job!! I highly recommend hosting an event here!!

Almost forgot about this little “gem” of a restaurant! Beautiful atmosphere with chandeliers and tables spaced at a reasonable distance! Top notch piano entertainment on Saturday night, possible Wednesday and Friday also( call to confirm). Food priced for value and BYOB! Great for a romantic dinner! The veal chop Milanese and Halibut dishes were Top Shelf! Appetizers we’re nice portions. Don’t be in a rush because each dish cooked to order!
Sit back, have a another glass of wine and enjoy the singing and piano music!!!

Visited for a work celebration and had a wonderful time. The staff was attentive without hovering, the food was very good and plentiful, and even with a table for ten, the atmosphere encouraged a lively evening. I will definitely return to try more of their offerings.

This was my first time at Nana's Kitchen, and I absolutely loved it!! We were welcomed with homemade bread. The food was delicious and great quality.
They have gluten free options and are able to customize items!!

The decor is beautiful. The staff is very friendly!! Highly recommend checking this new restaurant out!!!

Are at Nanas for second time in a month on March 30th, and as always everything was fantastic. The veal chop is the best I’ve had, and we waited for this night to see the great George Markey. We sat - again - pretty much right in front of the piano and could still have a conversation while enjoying the music. Hope to be back again May 4th to see him again!

Food was out of this world. Best meatballs I've ever had! Staff was knowledgeable and soooo helpful and friendly. The restaurant is cozy and homey but still elegant. One of my favorite restaurants

I just cannot say enough wonderful things about Nanas. We had such a warm welcome from the sweet hostess. The professional and friendly service was so refreshing to have.
Our waiter James was informative and attentive, and didn’t rush us and nicely spaced out our meal. We enjoyed appetizers (the stuffed mushrooms- incredible) and (the tuna special - sincerely the best I have ever had.. Wow.)
Our entrees were chicken parmigiana and linguine with white clams and we were THRILLED!!! Our meals FAR exceeded our expectations - we kept saying, “omg, how amazing is this?!?” We cannot wait to go back, and already decided we’re making it our new favorite spot. After all, how can you not love Nana? ♥ Thanks for a such a wonderful experience!!!

Very nice restaurant, excellent food. Atmosphere fabulous server was excellent. Had a singer there Tony sang Sinatra, Bennett he was awesome.

Cute local Italian venue. Our waiter was very experienced and running the show. It seemed a bit short staffed, given the holidays, but overall a solid experience.
- clams were excellent
- clam pasta was even more excellent
- bread was hot and olive oil was well mixed
- BYOB wine; cork was broken, but they filtered it
- ice cream was excellent

Overall, food was served quickly, tasted excellent, and would come again.

Nana's kitchen was recently suggested by a local to visit for a mom and pop's like place. My boyfriend and I went casual wearing jeans on the spur of the moment. We felt under dressed. There was a piano and a singer on a Wednesday evening. (And he was good) Our waiter welcomed us in and was personable and professional. The place was decorated in a lovely way and the food was delicious! We will definitely return.

Food and service are always top notch at Nana's! We have had random dinners, celebrations, repasts and even a wedding here. I can't say enough great things about the quality of the food and service. There are two rooms and beautiful high ceilings. You might have to look for Nana's because it's hard to see from the main highway but its distance from the busy road is a plus, if anything. Try the cod loin, and the meatballs and the NY Strip steak and the calamari and save room for cheesecake. 💯

We were there celebrating my birthday. Food was delicious. Dinner portions were big and we brought some back home. Appetizers were much smaller proportions and almost as much in price as our meals.

Best place in town. I love this place they make you feel like family, and don't forget the PEACH COBLER is homemade

Had a very enjoyable time celebrating birthday. Food was tasty, the specials are awesome. Jackie was our server, very friendly and joked with us. Good time!!!

First time at Nana’s Kitchen -simply wonderful! We dined on Saturday evening. They had a Jazz duo - piano and bass that provided great dinner music comparable to any of the great supper clubs in Manhattan. Great musicians!
Dinner was excellent! There were four of us dining. We ordered two appetizers for the table- Vongole and Cozze. The Vongole had very fresh medium size little neck clams in a white wine lemon sauce, a little too salty for my liking, but very tasty. The Cozze was fresh PEI muscles in a tangy and delicious Italian red sauce. For the entree I had the grilled Ahi Tuna filet, served medium rare Asian - Italian fusion style. It was SM accompanied with sauté spinach over mashed potatoes with a mildly hot tasty wasabi and soy reduction - so delicious! Two others had the Grouper special with crab stuffing served with sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes with a very tasty sauce - enjoyed by everyone. The other person in our party went with the Bone-in veal chop. A very large cut and very tender and delicious. My overall impression is that this is a first-rate restaurant and among the best Italian Continental style restaurants in all of Monmouth Ocean counties. I also have to give the service by the waiters and staff an A+! Very professional! I highly recommend Nana’s Kitchen, if you desire great food, BYOB, dedicated service and wonderful music ( Friday and Saturday only).

William and the staff at Nana's Kitchen are awesome. I have had William and his staff cater two parties for me now and I amazed at their attention to detail. The rooms is always inviting and the food is just amazing. Thank you so much fornmaking my birthday so special for my guests and I. Love you guys. No matter if you are thinking of dinner or an event this is the place to go

Food delish.we enjoyed the singer very much.we had an awesome waitress,Miriam.she was friendly,attentive and pleasant.will definitely return.

We went to Nana's last night to celebrate my sons confirmation. There were 8 of us, we sat in a beautifully decorated tent outside. The table were well spaced and all staff wore masks. Now, the best part....the food!!! Great selection of specials as well as normal menu items. Every dish from appetizers through dessert were fantastic. Everyone was extremely pleased by their choices. This is a hidden gem, we will be back!!!

Had a great dinner at Nana’s. Place is nicely decorated inside and is very deceiving from the outside and is way bigger than it looks. Has another room with tables which I would assume you could have a party in. It’s BYOB which is always great. I ordered the mussels in the white sauce for appetizer and they were incredible. Kind of wish they brought more bread to dip. The menu says it came with ciabatta but we never received it. I had the veal chop special which was very tender and cooked to perfection while my wife ordered the braised short rib over Pappadelle pasta. Both were delicious. I contemplated taking off 1 star because our server was a little inattentive. But it was minor. It took like over 10 minutes for him to even acknowledge us while we sat down and just felt like we were kind of put on the back burner. It didn’t ruin our meal by any means and he was friendly and even gave us gelato on the house which was very nice. The hostess greeted us right away and was very nice. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a quality Italian dinner at moderate prices. Would like to go back in warmer weather and sit outside as it looks like they have a nice set up out there.

We dine as often as possible at Nana's Kitchen. The regular menu is always reliable and the specials are temptingly inventive. Staff is professional and yet lively and friendly. Ask the piano player to sing Con te Partiro! You will get chills!
