Sam Vera Restaurant

Service is the best around. Food is made to order. Fantastic!

Excellent meal. Attentive service! Fried calamari very tender, veal I cut with a fork, seriously. Potatoe croquette crispy outside, tasty inside. Service so good, you wouldn't think it was Valentine's Day.

Excellent food....

Spectacular!!! We had a Confirmation dinner for my Daughter. Everything from the appetizers to dessert was delicious, staff was very courteous, and on top of everything the whole evening. Room was a nice size and the tables were not on top of another. Would definitely recommend.

A wonderful evening shared with family to celebrate a birthday. Always great food excellent service. We have dined here many times always a happy time.

Always a great meal with your Samvera family!

Excellent service, food and ambiance. We had the monkfish and the branzino,which were prepared perfectly. The staff made us feel like family... We have found our new favorite Italian restaurant!

Nick the bartender makes a spectacular drink, Becker always knows what to order for you, Sammy always serves with a smile and Steve is the man!Atmosphere is comfortable and friendly.

Great food and service. I will now be a regular there.

The best in town.

Good food

Always an excellent meal and wonderful service

I had my bridal shower there today and they exceeded expectations. The food was delicious and the staff was so amazing - they made my special day so memorable! During the planning process they were so attentive and accommodating. Will be planning all future parties there.

Best restaurant in NJ

Nice restaurant, in a nice area. Staff was friendly. Menu is priced noticably high for a homely central Jersey place. If you are looking for a high priced dinner, and money is not an issue, this is your spot. Food was ok. The ambiance must be what drives the pricing.

Chef is excellent and the prices are reasonable.

Food is delicious, service impecable, and the atmosphere most pleasant.

Food was ok, but the wait was horrible for the food to come out. Probably won't go again...

Always great food and excellent service!

Excellent food. Very friendly & courteous staff. Highly recommended.

Love this place, good food, great service and wonderful staff

Always great food! The best staff and service. One of my FAVORITE go too spots!

Excellent food, beautiful restaurant, courteous staff, and amazing atmosphere. Thank you for the wonderful experience!!

Great food, great service

Food was excellent, service was excellent for our party of eight. Highly recommend it.

Great Italian food with good menu and specials. I have had several parties in the large separate party rooms on the second floor. Great family place where you can get a few hours of great food and service to share special occasions.

Wow! We didn't pick this place since it was for a reception for a lost one but boy did she have good taste. This was one swanky place. Very romantic and pretty. It would be great for anniversary or birthdays. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

We love it here!! When you sit down, they serve you a small antipasto (breads, cheese, breadsticks, peppercini, roasted peppers, olives) Definitely a great way to start a family dinner...The appetizers and dinners are always fresh and cooked to perfection...The service is also outstanding. One of my favorite things about this restaurant is the size of the tables. You do not have to figure out where you are going to place your food and drinks because there is plenty of room. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Pros: Nice ambience and wonderful wait staffCons: Priced way too high for the quality of foodOverall, the food was decent but the bill came to over $400 for 4 people - which is ridiculous even with a few drinks and apps. There is no way I ate $100 worth of food! The bill didn't show the breakdown of items, so I'm wondering if there was an error.... Anyway, really nice place but not worth it in my opinion.

Great place wonderful & reasonably price

I’m here vacation Jersey I came thru Italian restaurant on by Albanian one of the best foods I had in USI got treated like God price is right not expensive for us EuropeansAnd I met some incredible people I met John Bon Jovi‘s father here tonight that plays gonna be good if he eats here

Steve is the best amazing food & drinks beautiful wine list excellent desserts

Food was good and well prepared.

A good option for when you find yourself in Monmouth county and crave “Italian” food. There’s Italian-American and there’s Italian-Italian. This place is right in the middle. I’m be back for sure.

We all enjoyed our dinners. Though it was busy , service was good.

By far my favorite restaurant in the area. My friends and I love the atmosphere and the exceptional food and service. I’ve had my sons communion party and confirmation dinner here and have attended a few birthday parties. All of my guests remarked about the food and service. A very welcoming atmosphere. And it’s not overly loud which makes it a great place for dinner with family or friends. I’ve never ordered a dish I didn’t love and the staff are always great at helping picking out new choices.

Sam Vera Restaurant is amazing place for parties,They can accommodate large groups, Also the food & Drinks that comes out of the kitchen is unbelievable They have the freshest Seafood & Appetizers at it’s the best

Incredible staff and great food! Could not ask for a better dining experience!

Great restaurant. Hands down one of my favorite places to go to with a group of friends. My waiter had lots of respect and manners. The food was perfectly cooked and I’m definitely going to come again💯

We all know that they are a terrific restaurant. Steve the manager is a great guy.I and wife have dined there and found some of the seasonal offerings as appetizers to be great.I urge others to dine there.

Great place Richie Meetup Harrison was here with entertainment club of NJ Meetup

Love the food and the staff. Everything on the menu is spectacular. You can be casual in the front room area or dress up for the dining room. There's a place for everyone here.

Great food and staff

From start to finish the food and the staff are first class all the way. My family and I love this restaurant!! You’ll always feel welcome here!
