Amazing food went for the first time last night 10/21/2023 it was busy they were short staffed I heard but the service was great and the food came out at the right times. You wouldn't have known if they didn't mention it. It was a tight fit probably because the time of year maybe the layout is different in the summer. Regardless I got a chicken parm like I've never had before the sauce and the breading on the chicken was awesome. SO FLAVOURFUL! we had the calamari for an app along with the mozzarella tomatoe with balsamic i forget the name of it.. this is embarrassing but I'm so used to that rubbery stuff you'd get at a pizza place so this was a game changer. And that mozzarella thing whatever it's called I want 10 of it that was so fresh and amazing 👏 wife had the Lorenzo special and she said it was definitely special amazing homemade pasta and lobster in the dish it was best thing we've ate in a long time definitely coming back

Went on a whim and didn't have reservations. Was able to grab a bar spot. It's a pretty small place so I definitely recommend making a reservation unless you go early enough. The Italian Style Calamari was amazing and my bf and I shared a pasta dish with shrimp and lobster.

A hidden gem. Terrific Service matched the Terrific Food. Ava our server was so pleasant and happy. It was our first visit to this restaurant. I ordered the lobster and shrimp over pasta in a Alfredo cream sauce. It was so light and flavorful. My husband ordered the shrimp parmigiana with a side of pasta. Nothing was left on his plate to bring home. We also enjoyed fried fresh mozzarella and pasta fagioli soup for our appetizers. We went to this restaurant to buy a gift certificate for a friend. I already have plans to take my son and daughter-in-law there for their anniversary. And from what we experienced, we plan on making many more trips. It’s our new favorite place.

Long story, but I recently figured out who Ebby is. One of my long-lost childhood friends thought I'd surprise him . As luck would have it, he sold the place. Regardless, this is an excellent restaurant that serves
large portions, with a friendly staff.

We’ve been going to Ebby’s for almost 30 years. In the 90’s mostly takeout when Ebby’s had the deli sandwiches. In recent years we enjoy having dinner. Last night was excellent as usual and very crowded as the evening progressed. Nick, Liz, & Aiden took care of us for dinner and Tina managed the diners and crowds as they came through the front doors. All done with smiles on their faces! Just a great experience on a Saturday evening for dinner.

Returned today after a long absence. Returned to find the deli and bakery were replaced by a lounge (now you know how long it's been). Atmosphere is as comfortable as I remember. Our server Ava was very pleasant and accommodating. The food was was just as good as I remember. Hope to make it back again!!

This place is absolutely amazing with authentic Italian food. The owner Tina whom I met tonight as she greeted us outside was very friendly and polite. You would never think that an owner would be so involved out on the floor and making sure that all her customers are happy. The food was amazing. I found my go to spot for Italian down the Jersey shore. You won’t be disappointed .

My family and I go to Ebby’s all the time and absolutely love it! Make sure to put your name in early /make a reservation because they fill up quick. Have always sat outside which is great too. The food is amazing, always fresh and hot when it comes out. The portions are big and perfect for leftovers the next day. The drinks are also amazing. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. I had the chicken parm with vodka sauce and my friends had the gnocchi and the sea bass special last time we went and everything was great. Good value too - all meals come with bread and a salad.
