East Bay Italian Grille and Bar

I love East Bay Italian Grille and Bar. It’s cozy, comfortable and has really good food. My husband and I go once a week since moving here in November. We even had my mom’s 85th birthday dinner there. Everyone enjoyed it. Also, you get a salad with your dinner and all the dressings are homemade. Yum Yum! They have piano music on Friday and Saturday nights.

Walked in and was greeted right away. I had a reservation and we were seated immediately. Our waiter was super friendly and nice. The owners were very attentive and walked by to make sure everything was ok, which everything was EXCELLENT!!!!! The atmosphere, the food, the dinner music and the employees were great. I’ve had take out from here before but will now be a regular spot. BTW, the bar recently added was gorgeous and the drinks were delicious, the draft beer was ice cold and fresh. Highly recommend East Bay Italian Grill.

We had an amazing experience at East Bay Italian Grille and Bar! From start to finish, the service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and genuinely pleasant.

The food was absolutely mouthwatering. The seafood pasta was my personal favorite perfectly cooked pasta tossed with shrimp, scallops, fresh tomatoes, and spinach in a flavorful sauce. Every bite was incredible.
The shrimp parm was another standout: crispy on the outside, tender inside, and made with huge shrimp. Both dishes were packed with flavor and beautifully presented.

To top it off, their tequila old fashioned was delicious and perfectly balanced
highly recommend this place

We left impressed, satisfied, and excited to come back soon. A true gem in Barnegat!

Baked Stuffed Shrimp Pasta & Prime Rib Special were just what the doctor ordered. Italian Egg Rolls were an awesome appetizer. East Bay has yet to dissapoint us, not to mention the AMAZING service and atmosphere are perfect for a date night.
