Nettie's Tinton Falls Reviews
The food was delicious and the ambiance is very cool but I
The food was delicious and the ambiance is very cool but I have never felt more rushed in a restaurant before. By 30 minutes into our reservation, we had our drinks, appetizers and main course's. We ordered dessert and another round of drinks, and while I still had a full drink, the waitress asked me if we needed anything else or just the check. I told her that she can bring the check but we're not leaving yet as I still had a full drink. We were there about an hour and a half and while I was actively drinking my drink and finishing my dessert when the waitress asked us if we wouldn't mind getting up and finishing it at the bar because they had other reservations and needed our table. All of the tables around us were being turned around so fast, I don't think i've ever seen it like that before. As a paying customer, I have never felt more rushed in a restaurant before, and while the food was delicious, I would never visit again.
This was not what was expected! Let's start out with the
This was not what was expected! Let's start out with the plus the service was great the drinks and cocktails were very good! The space was like an updated old school bar/eatery was just ok not my taste kind of hipster like...now the Food it wasn't good the portions were tiny the food wasn't flavorful at all for the money they charge this is a Miss $50 for a tasteless chicken come on guys you can do better do not waste your money! Go to the bar for drinks and eat somewhere else!
First, I would like to say, that there are way too many
First, I would like to say, that there are way too many rules at this restaurant. We all know about the kids rule there, which I can understand to a point, but as soon as you walk in, you aren't allowed to go to the bar. You must wait to be seated. You are told where to stand and it is just outlandish. I will admit the food was above average, but expensive. The wine prices were absolutely ridiculous!! I have dined at some really fine restaurants around the world and this rinky dink place in Tinton Falls had the audacity to charge $85 for a bottle of Pinot Noir from Oregon that retails for $30? You must be kidding, even a glass of wine there is $17 a glass. I'm sorry, its just wrong...The staff is rude and arrogant. My advice, I love good food, but I will not tolerate being treated like I did. First and last visit.
the main dishes were very good but unfortunately can't
the main dishes were very good but unfortunately can't remember what they were . I was looking forward to the house salad , but couldn't eat because there was too much vinegar. Drinks were good but expensive. . meatballs were excellent so ordered spaghetti and meatballs to go for my son. was told that it would be an extra 14 dollars for the spaghetti. i just took the meatballs. What italian restaurant doesn't have a spaghetti and meatballs dish ??? Just give me two less meatballs with a cup of pasta and call it a day , I was informed that there was an extra charge for parmesan on my salad . just charge the extra 2 dollars for the salad . Don't aggravate customers with knickle and diming . Our waitress was completely unable to read social cues. Some decent food but over rated and overpriced IMO
We had a great time here after making a last minute
We had a great time here after making a last minute decision to pay them a visit. The restaurant has an old school yet updated feel and made us feel right at home. We sat at the bar and started with some gin drinks off of their negroni menu. We enjoyed the fried mozzerella appetizer and pasta dishes as well as the attentive service from the bartender. Although, it was a little pricey for the amount of food served, you could tell it was good quality. Since Nettie's is a short drive away, I have a feeling we will be back.
Made mistake of winging it for a table aaaaand waited but
Made mistake of winging it for a table aaaaand waited but it was worth it. First if I ever wanted to rent a speak out for and old school speakeasy poker tournament this would be the place. The only thing it was missing was the smell of cigarettes and anise. The food is old school Italian with a fusion flare exceeded my expectations very delicious. Some must haves the zatar mushrooms, whipped ricotta, pastas, I now got to back for a chicken Parm Wednesday. Would skip the cauliflower not roasted or tasty IMO just seemed bland hit it with some more lemon and tahini maybe add some Sumac or roasted pine nuts. The old school vibe and bar was amazing, bartenders and staff all very nice, by far the best Negroni drink options I've ever seen and loved each one of them ! Finally the deserts especially the olive oil cake was phenomenal I highly recommend the experience but reserve a table the wait sucks!
Very disappointing! Although we had a reservation, table
Very disappointing! Although we had a reservation, table seemed hastily placed in the center of the room with a clear view/within earshot of the kitchen. Only somewhat redeeming dish was the whipped ricotta, but served with bread slices which were thin sliced and didn't seem fresh baked. Raviolis (only 6 small ones as an entree) was flavorless and accompanying sauce, although tasty, was very sparse. Dinner partner had spinach fettuccine which she said was bland and the sauce uninspired. Prices are outrageous for the quality and quantity of food.
From the outside you don't expect much.
Cocktails, entrees, apps all incredible and worth it 100%. Whipped ricotta cavatelli was amazing, flat iron was solid, spinach fettuccine was fresh and don't feel bloated leaving. Quality all around and one of the few restaurants I've left recently that I wanted to leave a review. Waitress and service was also great and recommended us in the right direction.
Nettie's has been on my list to try for over a year,
Nettie's has been on my list to try for over a year, especially after the polarizing public response to their choice to ban children. Initial impression: art deco vibes, like you're walking into a reclaimed diner. The vibes feel like the restaurant belongs in NYC with a crowd to match. With such a retro restaurant, you wouldn't expect such an Italian menu. Menu is VERY limited, but everything on there is top quality. Nearly all of their pasta is homemade and to die for. The spaghetti is imported from Italy. The salad was a very cool Italian chopped salad (ask for light Italian seasoning). The whipped ricotta is the creamiest I've ever had, ever. The highlight of the meal were the fried mushrooms served calamari style with a lemon wedge (ask for marinara dipping sauce). They were super crispy and not at all soggy. The fettuccini and meatballs were both delicious and fresh. And the dessert was phenomenal! Overall take: the fresh Italian food isn't to miss. Your traditional Italian parents probably won't like the vibes, so come here with your friends/dates.
Delicious food in this hidden gem.
The buttermilk ricotta appetizer slathered on Italian bread was to die for! Dinner and drinks were good. Quite noisy, but we were at a small table for two in a corner.
We live down the street and absolutely love coming here.
We would pick Nettie's over any other restaurant around. Excellent service, immaculate vibes, fresh food, top shelf drinks and a creative menu every-time. I lived in Manhattan for 6 years and this is the closest I've come to a cozy NYC establishment in NJ. Anyone complaining clearly hasn't experienced the real deal when it comes to fine dinning.
Drove through on my way to Portland, Maine.
I'm 100% Italian and know what a good sauce is. This is not good sauce. They must have forgotten to use tomatoes because it was mostly water. No bueno!
This is a "one and done".
Highlights were the cocktails and dessert. Servers are pleasant and attentive. The facility is noisy so it's hard to have a conversation without yelling. Meals are overpriced. Sauce was very salty. No flexibility to change pasta types so you had better like spaghetti since that's the main pasta on the menu. It's unlikely that we'll go there again.
We had our anniversary dinner recently at Netties.
Didn't know about Netties until they announced new dining policy. It was only a 25 minute drive, so thought it'd be worth a try. We had a 5:45 reservation and were sat immediately in a side room just off the bar. Atmosphere is super cute and homey. We tried 2 of their original cocktails, lemontini and pear me up. Both were excellent! Lemontini came in a chilled glass and tasted exactly like a lemon Italian ice! Dinner was spaghetti w meat sauce, stuffed stradette, and an order of meatballs which we split. Everything was hot, fresh, and really good. Meatballs are fried, so hard on outside soft on inside. For dessert, we got coffees and shared zeppoles with a chocolate hazelnut dipping sauce. So tasty!!Bathrooms were modernized and very clean. Once full, restaurant was noisy but we could still hear each other fine. Overall, very enjoyable anniversary dinner!
Do not recommend.
The restaurant banned anyone under 10. This is blatant age discrimination. Please don't give this place your business until the unfair ban is lifted.The age ban isn't just discriminatory against kids, who are basically being punished for existing and being young. It also puts an unfair hassle on families and parents. If customers are not treated fairly, there's no reason to eat here.When the age ban is reversed I will consider changing my rating.
Unbelievable quality in the food and preparation.
It's like when you ate at your friend from HS parent's house where the food was spectacular and you couldn't stop eating. The wine list is to die for as well as the cocktail menu. You can easily take portions home for lunch/dinner the next day. The menu is based on the owner's mother recipes from his childhood. It doesn't get any better.
Very limited menu.
I had the pasta with broccoli and very bland and no sauce. Very disappointed after all of the great reviews
move to russia
This is the USA no children allowed moved your crappy restaurant to communist Russia where it belongs.
Food was just OK. Old building.
The building is old, and the food was mediocre at best. Not the place I would go for a nice romantic evening out on the town.
Not for families. Not for you. Not for me.
$20 to cancel reservations we had with a family of 6 including 2 children who are no longer allowed to come. This place run like a dictatorship. So many rules for pasta. What a joke.
Loved everything
Fantastic restaurant and staff. Great atmosphere and location. Will be back again. An A÷ experience.
Not usually a mezcal fan but the waitress steered me to try
Not usually a mezcal fan but the waitress steered me to try the drink (if I didn't like it she'd make it with regular tequila) and she was right! Awesome waitress, very informative. To start: We got the eggplant,ricotta, and fried mushrooms. The eggplant was to die for as well as the ricotta. The ricotta was so smooth. Both unable to grab pics of due to how quick we ate it. The fried mushrooms were very good too and taste like calamari with a very light but delicious crunch. I got the Sunday special for dinner; my portions were good however some people w other meals at the table who got a shrimp parm special and the pastas did not get great portions...however all dishes were good. The meatballs were very good and the sausage had a nice spice to it although I wished the dish was sauced more! Very good place and hope to come back again

This place is a local hidden jem, although it's not really hidden. We (a work colleague and I) turned up for work and looked online for a few local places. Found Nettie's and decided to give it a go.Walked in to a totally awesome looking restaurant, with hints of Art Deco and great styling.Sat at the bar and chatted with the waitress who gave us some quality recommendations for plate choices.We decided to give a few things a try and honestly, we were NOT disappointed.The food was presented extremely nicely, tasted delicious and was keeping us going 'Mmmmm, this is so good' and we are both foodies!Honestly, this place is A.MAZ.ING.
PROS The staff is very nice.
There is ample parking. It's in a secluded section of town. There is outdoor seating when weather permits, they say the chef takes pride in preparation. CONSIt's hard to have a conversation with your party. The pasta portions are very small. The tables are very small and narrow. The bus staff removes an eaten course too quickly, probably due to the small tables, so there will be ample room for the next course. The main CON is the food is way overpriced. Canned beer served and poured by the server, two no-no's. Fried golf-sized meatballs 6-7 $18???One and done.

Gluten Free I really enjoyed both the ambiance and the staff. The chicken was very good, cooked just right with a nice crispy outside. Warning: it is on the hotter side. The menu is slightly limited, but delicious. Don't get me started on the 24-month old aged pecorino. Shit Slaps. Only reason for no 5 is no availability to gluten free pasta.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Nettie's Tinton Falls at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Nettie's Tinton Falls page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Nettie's Tinton Falls to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Nettie's Tinton Falls!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
