Patricia's of Holmdel

Went here with my wife’s family for her birthday and it was a great time! We started off with meatballs, the seafood salad, the margarita pizza, and the fig pizza. I’m not usually a fan of fig on pizza but this one was great! All of the apps were fantastic but I’d say the fig pizza was my standout. For entries my uncle and I both got the double pork chops, my wife and mother in law got the Bronzino, and my aunt and father in law got the short ribs. All of us really liked our meals! My double pork chop had a ton of meat on it and I was stuffed after it. Really feel like you got good value for what you paid for. We didn’t end up getting any dessert. Overall great experience and the staff were super friendly. The manager checked in on us multiple times throughout our meal as well!

I found Patricia‘s by doing a Google search on best Italian restaurants that serve pasta in the cheese wheel. The review was 4.6 stars with 1400 reviews. So we came down here for a birthday lunch and everything was amazing! Our server, John, was wonderful! So friendly and knowledgeable. He made our experience at Patricia’s even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back with more friends!! I highly recommend Patricia’s for a special dinner!

Don't even know where to start. I've had better frozen pizza. Ordered a pickup order, waited for it, and it was ice cold when I got home. Way overpriced for what was given. The Bolognese pasta dish, while tasty was also ice cold. Not a very good portion for the price. Rice balls were very small, not what you would expect. You can get better pizza, pasta and rice balls from any of the local pizza places for half the price and receive better quality. What you see in the photos was a $100 meal, absolutely absurd . First and last time getting anything from here, extremely disappointed. Don't understand the 5 star reviews not based on what I experienced.

Rosa was amazing. She made the best suggestions, made sure we were taken care of and was so sweet! The pollo allá bomba should be a permanent item on the menu and the bolognese was to die for. We have never been here and we will def be back- it was so nice inside too.

If I could give this place 10 stars for every category I would. Service is amazing, the atmosphere is like a masterpiece, everywhere you look is like a peice of art from Italian culture. The food is not only absolutely delicious but carefully crafted for aesthetics and portioned perfectly. I’ve came here several times with my girlfriend and have not been disappointed a single time. The Filet medallion dish is perfectly put together, perfect amount of potatoes, perfect amount of sauce, just enough to dip every single slice of steak into. And every single dish is like that, perfectly calculated for your enjoyment. I’ve never been to Italy but I think this place could easily compete with some of the best restaurants out there. Not a single dish that I have tried from this place that I didn’t love. Bravo. Perfection.

Superb dining location! Four dining room settings offering a blend of cozy ambiance. You can tell that they invest in wait staff training...service is impeccable and carried out like clockwork. The meals are superb with large portions...Wish I could give 6 stars! Photos here are their chicken parm, linguini with clams, chopped salad, and pistachio tartufo.

Absolutely amazing atmosphere, especially in the back section of the restaurant. Amir provided excellent service and was knowledgeable about the whole menu, with substitutions and allergies. He always was serving with a great attitude and was very personable throughout the whole meal. The pasta and breaded chicken both were so fresh and delicious. The special zucchini fritter appetizers were spectacular. Overall fantastic experience and will definitely be coming back.

If you are looking for an amazing restaurant, where the food is top notch, and has exceptional service. This is the place... From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed. There were (3) hostesses in the front counter all with smiles. We had a 7:30pm reservation and were seated at a table immediately. The menu had a little bit of everything, there was seafood, fish, steaks, delicious sounding apps, and of course pasta. We ordered the truffle croquettes, cheese wheel pasta, and skirt steak. The food was delicious, full of flavor. The steak was so tender. The home made pasta reminded me of the old world Italian food I was used to growing up in Brooklyn. For a Thursday night, this place was very crowded. The ambiance was dinner worthy. Not too bright, a dimly lit romantic type of setting. Our server was Liz...she was extremely attentive. Always smiling, checked in on us a few times to make sure everything was ok, and if we needed anything. Every 15 minutes or so, a server was walking out with a piece of cake with a sparkler. A lot of birthdays were being celebrated. Great place for celebrating any event. Most tables were in groups of 4-8. They even have a private party room available. Overall, a wonderful experience. My wife and I absolutely loved it. We will definitely tell our friends and family about this place. And be back again soon.

Had such a great experience at Patricia's of Holmdel! The ambience was lovely and really made the evening special. The food was honestly so delicious - everything we ordered had amazing flavor and you could taste the quality. We left completely satisfied. Service was great too. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for good Italian food in a nice setting. We'll be back for sure!

Came here for a 1 year old's birthday party and I was impressed! They are BYOB, but they got a mocktail menu, which was nice. We had the private dining room that also had a large skylight for natural sunlight making the space feel even more welcoming. The food was all delicious. The fried calamari was crispy. The meatballs were tender. The Caesar salad had the right amount of dressing. The Brussels sprouts were really my highlight. The honey sriracha on the bacon gave it a sweet, salty, and spicy bite. Desserts were great as well. The cannoli leaned on the sweeter side, but the cheesecake was excellent. It was creamy, velvety, and with the right amount of tang from the cream cheese to keep it balanced. Overall, they nailed both the food and the hospitality. The service was exceptional. Anytime we needed something the servers were right there to accommodate.

Meeting a friend for lunch, we decided upon this posh restaurant in the Holmdel center, where the anchor stores are Best Buy, Ulta, and Turning Point. Upon entering, we were told it was recently renovated. Being that I didn't know what it looked like before the renovation, this place looks very upscale. We were given two sets of menus. One was their regular menu, which is good for both lunch and dinner. The other menu had the lunch sandwich menu. The waitress indicated that the sandwiches come in two different types of bread: focaccia and Italian. I was not very hungry, so I ordered the Parma with focaccia bread, as my friend ordered the Cheese steak on Italian bread. We were then given a bread basket with whipped butter. My friend stated the bread was fresh and good, but she was hoping for the olive oil. Shortly after placing our orders, our sandwiches arrived. I was a little surprised as my Parma appeared more like flatbread than the thicker, fluffier focaccia I had expected. I didn't want to make a fuss in front of my friend, so I simply ate it. The sandwich was tasty, but I wished it had been warmed, as that would have better married the flavors and elevated the overall experience. My friend's cheese steak was huge, as the skirt steak was plentiful, and the cheese leaked out a bit, making it look remarkable. I inquired how it tasted, and she stated it was good. She just wished it had a bit more onions to break up the taste of the meat. We each ordered a cappuccino, and that was truly the highlight of the meal. The 6-ounce cappuccino came with 4 small biscotti, which paired well with the beverage. Neither of us used any sugar, and the cappuccino was excellent. The ratio between the espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam was perfectly rich in both taste and texture. I can't stop raving about it. Service was very good, and the food was enjoyable. The ambiance was chic. My rating is 3 1/2 stars, though I have rounded it up to 4 stars.

This location was a perfect spot to celebrate our friend's birthday. Restaurant is spacious and has a touch of class. Our server was friendly and on top of it all. Food was very good overall. Appetizers Eggplant tower Burrata Seafood salad-excellent Octopus Artichokes Entrees Salmon Branzino Clams with spaghetti- pasta was curly n off for this dish Dessert Zeppoles Carrot cake Affogato Had a nice evening at Patricia's.

My daughter's baby shower was hosted by the amazing team at Patricia's. They have a beautiful room for private parties. I believe there was 30 people there. Family and friends said the food was delicious and the service was simply outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant for all occasions but especially a small private event. Hats off to everyone at Patricia's.

I visited for the first time in January 10 and it was OK. It has good reviews and it was hard finding a reservation for the time that I needed it, so I thought it would be spectacular. It was not. The place is nice and service was good. My friend ordered the lasagna, which I tasted even though I don't like ground beef. It had very good flavor, but just too much cheese. I ordered the Frutti de Mar and I felt that it needed flavor. The linguine was also too al dente for my taste. This is what I usually order when I go Italian and I was disappointed. They also did not offer any fresh shaved Parmesan cheese. I did order the Affogato and it was absolutely delicious. The espresso was really really good and it was served in a glass. It was more than I expected. That I did enjoy! Maybe I'll go back again and try something else just to give a more fair review but I wouldn't be running there to do so any time soon.

Our most recent visit to Patricia's was disappointing. My lasagne tasted like it was cooked with leftover meat, and not hot. My mother's Pappardelle Bolognese was half the size of previous visits. The caesar salad was scantily dressed, also a smaller portion size. Even the cappuccino was in a smaller cup! We're going to have to find a new place to go.

Went to Patricia's because our concert at the PNC Arts Center was rained out. I'm so glad we went here! Please don't judge it from the exterior -- it's in a strip mall, but it's HUGE -- and it was filled, which tells you what a following it has, and how good it is. I had the Fra Diavolo pasta without shrimp (allergic), and my partner had the bolognese. Both were outstanding. We had leftovers that we finished as soon as we got home. We didn't have room for dessert, but when I'm in the area, I definitely plan to return. Really delicious with great service!

The food at Patricia's was fantastic! Celebrated my birthday dinner with my family. Dinner began with the focaccia Bread...crispy and delicious then onto a Caesar salad with a hint of lemon. The calamari which was crispy and melted like butter. The Chicken Milanese was crispy and juicy and the homemade pasta with the marinara sauce was Incredible. Of course, had dessert, Zeppole...omg!! Ambiance was lovely. Service was outstanding!! Will definitely be returning. Highly recommend. Shout out to Alexis...thank you!!

This is an upscale restaurant in Holmdel. The olive oil with the complementary bread is delicious. I've had the Margherita pizza a couple times which has been so-so. Eggplant Parmesan is also decent. The pizza is not bad but certainly not the best pizza I've ever had. For the quality and value, it is overpriced. Perhaps the pastas and other dishes are better and I'll consider trying those since the ambience is spectacular and service is good.

Went for dinner with friends. Had a reservation so we were seated immediately. When we placed our order, we were talking and all of a sudden , the water bottle exploded. Fortunately nobody got hurt and the manager/owner came over immediately to make sure we were ok. The bottle had a cork cap and a metal clasp in it. Nobody was able to figure out what happened. Water was all over the floor and the tablecloth was drenched. We were moved to another table and we started over My husband and I had shared a chopped salad that was delicious. Our friends had the beet salad and they said it was very fresh. Being if our circumstance, they brought over to us, complimentary, delicious meatballs while we were waiting for our meals I ordered homemade pasta with shrimp, artichokes and tomatoes in a white wine sauce. The men ordered lasagna with side orders of long green hot peppers and red hot peppers. My other friend ordered lamb chops that were cooked to her perfection. All the food was excellent. Before we left, they also gave us cake to take home for our inconvenience. One slice of cheese cake and one slice of rainbow cake. Once we past our inconvenience, we had a lovely dinner.

Food was fantastic. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff, great service. First of many visits.

I attended a bridal shower and I loved the room we were in. It was open and had a solarium feel. It was a little cold by the outside door. The food was served family style and everything was hot. My favorite plate was the steak it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor! I loved the additional space given to hang coats so we weren't crowded with winter jackets. The staff was attentive and smiling the whole time. I would love to attend this restaurant for a regular dinner night.

Always consistent and excellent meals. We love the atmosphere and service. Pasta dishes are so good. We have had group birthday parties here with 25 plus. They really do a fabulous job. We also frequent the sister restaurants- Over Easy and Gabriella's. All the restaurants Frank owns is amazing and doesn't ever disappoint.

We have been coming to Patricia's since they opened many years ago. This is another one of our go to places for celebrating special occasions and birthdays. Thought you can dress casual here, you can also dress up and not feel out of place for a nicer dining experience. Some of our menu favorites include the chicken francese, Nonna's meatballs, the gluten free bread ($8), the seafood salad and zucchini blossoms. The food is fresh and consistent. The staff is fabulous when it comes to allergies and they can make modifications easily to accommodate. Patricia's is located in the corner of the Holmdel commons which has plenty of available parking. We love that they are BYOB and often go to the Wine Academy in the same lot prior to find a good bottle of wine to bring with us. They recently expanded to accommodate more tables. They decorated the new spaces very tastefully. I would highly recommend them for events including baby/bridal showers, birthdays or other celebrations on both small and larger scales. I highly recommend making a reservations as they do get quite busy especially on Fridays and the weekends. For my GF peeps, they have GF pizza, pasta and bread!

What service? There's no service. The Chicken Parmigiana was too spicy and so salty. It was also dry, rubbery, and clearly overcooked with canned vodka sauce that was too creamy. The Cheesecake Factory has way better Chicken Parm. The rigatoni was literally raw. I asked the hostess if it was spicy. She didn't care. I had asked for less salt, and my meal was pure salt. I took 2 bites and had to throw it out! Only the pear poached salad was decent. It came with poached pears, candied pumpkin seeds, prosciutto with cheese. Overhyped. Terrible chicken parmigiana!

Beautiful place with authentic Italian, delicious food. Loved the service and the whole experience! Thank you Patricicia's!

First time here after wanting to try it for a while. Brianna was our server and she was excellent. Super attentive, sweet and kind. We got the chicken francese which was so good, maybe teetering a bit to the lemony side but I did enjoy it. We also got the branzino which was excellent. The place was beautiful and much bigger than I thought it would be. Also, very crowded so you can tell they're doing something right. Definitely would come back again!

The back room is what we request when we come to this great restaurant. The decorations are beautiful. The service today was very average. The young lady was not attentive. She left us for 10 minutes at a time. The food however was very good.

Been wanting to go here forever so my friend Chris.. ( Gaetano..lol) send me there...Gianna as manager/ hostess was amazing as was our server John....food is a other level of great from. Apps..longhots..to seafood salad..baked clams. .parpadelle bolognese..and linguini with lemon shrimp...ALL AMAZING.. BATTS LOVES THIS PLACE....

Beautiful restaurant located in the corner of a strip mall. We walked in and welcomed very quickly the restaurant is very pretty and they got busy very fast. I ordered the double cut pork chop with cherry peppers and the penne à la vodka and they were both amazing one of the best pork chops I've ever had.

The update decor is elegant and inviting. Love the spacious feel. The waiters were very tentative and pleasant. Food was tasty. The bolognese was just delicious. The entrees potions were plentiful, we share everything. Best Italian restaurant to me. Looking forward to going again.

My wife and I ate in Patricia's for the first time last night. Can't believe it was our first time, and it won't be our last. The restaurant is very unassuming from outside. Looks like a restaurant at a strip mall. Inside it's beautiful. We were seated in the back and forgot we were in a strip mall. The service was fantastic. For appetizers we tried the burrata and Spiedini. Both were delicious. For entrées we both had specials. My dish was a play on chicken Parmesan. The sauce was like a spicy vodka sauce with a piece of fried prosciutto and peas. The dish was spicy hot. Only critique is the peas were a little under cooked. My wife had a rigatoni with sausage peppers and onions. This to was delicious. For dessert we had cappuccinos and zeppolis. Again very good. We will definitely be coming to Patricia's more often.

A local favorite... We were a small group of 7 for our monthly get together. Technically, they are a BYOB Italian restaurant. But believe they have bottles of wine from a local place. Patricia's always had 2 large dining rooms. They added a smaller room that was opened recently and is off on your right.This area is excellent for a smaller group. I'd say 6 or 7 tables and that's it. That is a lot less noisy on a weekend over the other rooms. Being that a few in our group have dined here before, we passed on appetizers knowing how big the entrees were. Popular entrees were mostly off the daily specials. That was the airline chicken breast. This was chicken breast stuffed with spinach,fontina cheese plus topped a crispy prosciutto. I chose my old reliable orecchiette. Always a good choice (for me)when trying a new restaurant. And this was pretty good. Desserts- cheese cake, affogato & a chocolate peanut nut torte that wasn't too sweet. Cost per person with a tip about $61. Reservations at least 2 weeks in advance for a weekend. Enjoy USC#12

Never fails to impress me!! Great food and relaxing atmosphere!! Appetizers were great along with fantastic entrees!! BYOB!!

Service was very slow the food was very solid Italian with some creativity I would need a second meal to rate it correctly

The ambiance is beautiful!! The staffs are friendly. Food was phenomenal. We don't like close by, but will definitely come back. Plus it's a BYOB which we LOVE

Hi Patricia's is the best . From the time you walk in you are greeted so warmly by the host or hostess. All the servers are excellent. The food is delicious n the chef is always willing to meet dietary needs . The atmosphere is great . Frank the owner of a manager always comes to the table to make sure the guests are satisfied. This restaurant goes above n beyond n the food is amazing . I recommend this restaurant to everyone .

Good and Friendly service. Excellent salmon Rivera . My wife's Chicken cutlet parm could have been fried at a higher temp. Not crispy. Sauce is delicious. Appetizers fantastic. Bread meh.

Food is of the highest quality and spot on. The poached pear salad is incredible. The Chicken Parm is constantly awesome. The fish dishes are a big hit with my family. Service is very good and the restaurant has multiple dining rooms that are upscale .

The Best Italian west of the Verrazano. Everything delicious and the staff is super friendly and give you 5 star service!

Great atmosphere and delicious food! We love it here! Perfect date night spot. And during the week they have the best lunch specials too!

Ambiance is great but yesterday the service was just bad. We had reservations for 815 and did not eat until 10:30!! They said it was due to a large private party but not sure how every other table got their food. Not until we asked the server what's going on was when we were finally acknowledged but the food still took long until the rest of the dining room was being cleaned up while we were the only table eating. (Party of 8). For all the hype you hear about this place definitely did not live up to it and the food is okay.

The food is good ambience is nice and staff is good and good service. The menu has a lot of food to choose from.

More and more delicious Each dish better than the next Bolognese is beyond words So tempting to choose what to order

My boyfriend and I came here around 6:30 on a cold Tuesday night in November and the place was packed! We did not make reservations but luckily they were able to seat us right away. The food was delicious and the service was great. There were lots of birthday and large parties (over 6 people) while I was there but it's also a nice place for a date night. It's BYOB but they also sell bottles of wine (they do not sell wine by the glass). They have a great dessert menu, much larger than other places. Unfortunately we were too full to get dessert but everything sounded great. For those who are GF: All of their pasta dishes are able to be made gluten free with the exception of 1 or 2 of their sauces (just check with the server). Their menu clearly marks which items are gluten free which is always helpful and appreciated.

We finally tried Patricia's after moving to the area last year. I know it's the same owner as Gabriella's so we expected good quality and it was the case. We made a reservation for Saturday at 7:30 a few weeks out as it is a bit of a busy place and when we got there it was packed. We got seated and ordered the burrata. On the burrata scale, this one was average. It was different than most but overall I will say I've had better. For meals we got the money bag pasta which was excellent. One of their rivals with a similarly spelled name also does this dish and it is equally good. My wife had the chicken milanese and it was also pretty good but she prefers the one from Gabriella's. The mac and cheese was ridiculously good. The breadcrumbs on top were a nice touch. A healthy portion for a side dish as well. It's BYOB so we enjoyed our own alcohol which is always nice. We'll definitely be returning and could see this being a fun environment for a group of friends. One thing is that the food came out unusually fast. Nobody wants to wait too long but they pumped out our entrees in maybe 7-8 minutes. It did seem a bit rushed like they wanted to flip the table but we stayed after we ate and had another drink at the table but then you always feel bad for the server taking up the spot for too long. Next time I'd probably ask them to hold off until we're done with appetizers. Either way, a solid meal for fair prices. We'll be back.

Skirt steak came out with a hair on the plate (first hair in the food) and then we found another hair (second time same meal) in my sautéed spinach. Plus, my penne pasta was not cooked properly. Crumbled when I chewed it. Utterly disappointing. No manager, owner, or chef came out but they comped the check, and the waitress delivered a message from the chef- he said that there is not a person in the kitchen with long hair (I assume referring to the long hair on the plate with my steak). Then, the server suggested that the other hair may be from my eyebrow. I assured her that it was not from my eyebrow.

The Food was AMAZING! Patricia's did NOT disappoint. We had the shrimp papperadelle. Such a delicate filling dish appealing to the eye and stomach. The restaurant is so visually pleasing the dining room we sat in had beautiful chandeliers and a sun roof. Our waitress Grace was attentive and sweet. All of the wait staff we interacted with were very nice. The zepolie dessert is EVERYTHING. Served with cannoli cream!

Ordered for the first time. Hardly any vodka sauce on either meal. Very disappointed as the flavor that I could taste was good. Ordered the meatballs and it came without the ricotta. Mushroom risotto lacked sauce too

Patricia's of Holmdel is nicely situated in a corner next to Turning Point. The restaurant can seem somewhat small at first glance but they have additional rooms and a nice outdoor area. The the margarita pizza was okay, the calamari was good, the bolognese was good and plentiful but the pasta could have been better. The gnocchi with eggplant was good as well. All in all I would come back to try different dishes.

Mixed bag at Patricia's. Bustling BYOB in Holmdel, nicely decorated, plenty of parking in the shopping center. 8pm reservations for a party of 8, they seated us at about 8:20 plus Highlights Artichoke appetizer was the best thing I had all evening. Chicken scarpiello was good Veal parmigiana was good Money bag pasta was good Pork chop was good Baked clams were terrible, breadcrumbs were mushy and without seasoning. The clams were impossible to find and when I did, they were fishy. Octopus wasn't seasoned and the pesto dressing made it worse, lemon saved it. Service was strong until the end, we sat along with other tables at the end of the night. Once we paid the check, the server was no where to be found. Not a refill of water, not a thank you zero As we walked out we saw all the servers sitting at a table together. Not a good look. There are so many solid Italian restaurants in the area that it is likely I will not go back. #disappointed

Wonderful food and service. Great dishes are all but I love lemon linguini fish dish, linguini and clams and veal Chop parmigiana. Portions are definitely good. You won't be disappointed

This review is for the coffee shop. The restaurant itself is delicious. Coffee shop said it would be open 11:30am on Saturday. Was not open. Disappointed but will come back.

We totally enjoyed our Friday night dinner here. We were 3 people sitting in the back room. Noise level was moderate and tables were spaced. The venue Is large - basically divided into 3 sections. There was an outside room surrounded in plastic. This is BYOB. We had a margarita pizza to share at first. It was large and delicious Then we ordered our entrees. My husband had the halibut special which was extraordinary It was perfection. My friend and I each had the paccheri Genovese which is slow braised short rib ragu, topped with shaved parmigiana and truffle oil. We absolutely loved it. It was so flavorful! But expect to be very full after eating this. I could not enjoy dessert but we did order a raspberry sorbet and cappuccino. This was a perfect meal.

We were very dissapointed in the Sunday sauce! I was expecting it to be as good as I had in another place and it just wasn't it!!!

This place is all around excellent. I can't wait to go back. Make sure to bring a good hottie or two of wine.

Located in Holmdel Commons Mall. Nice interior with a private room and outdoor seating . Good service. Enjoyed shrimp with spinach. Spinach was overcooked. Bread was below par for a Great Italian Restaurant. Will give another try to earn 5 stars.

This was a wonderful dinner waiters were great, Busser's were great, and the food was amazing. I would definitely come here again.
