"Sure, upon glancing at their menu and stylish dining room, Nettie’s appears to be a well-designed, modern Italian restaurant built in a renovated Jersey roadhouse. However, if you can get your mind off meatballs, you might be surprised to find the best vegan and vegetarian options around the Shore. Their house salad, featuring large crusty croutons and vinegar-soaked veggies, is quintessential old-school Italian and our favorite in the area. And their mountain of fried hen of the woods mushrooms is a great item for sharing with a side of marinara. They also do a great fish milanese and a delicious plate of hot vinegar chicken, if you’re feeling more than just vegetables. The dining room has moody lighting and features a great cocktail and wine list. Nettie’s became famous for their policy of no children under 10, so grab a babysitter, order some pizza to go for the kids, and come here for a fun friend catch-up." - michael sinatra
