I know what you're thinking. Everyone has a great family-owned Italian restaurant that has been in their neighborhood forever, and we are all passionate about the Italian restaurant we already call our favorite.

I absolutely respect that and agree. There are so many great choices for amazing small Italian restaurants all over the Garden State, and we are very fortunate to have each and every one of them in our state.

Having said that, I think it is my duty to tell you about my favorite. We all have a crazy passion for great, authentic, and homemade Italian food, and I think if I didn't tell;l you about this place it would be a disservice to Italian food lovers everywhere.

So, let me share with you the name Graziano's Italian Restaurant. This amazing little place in Point Pleasant has been serving the community since 1966, and in my opinion, is the real deal in every way.

The food is consistently amazing, and I've been going there for well over a decade. This place might just have the best Chicken Parmigiana in the history of the state, and if you want to give that a try, every Thursday is Chicken Parm night there.

The service is also always spectacular, and the whole experience is amazing. I'm not trying to tell you to cheat on your favorite Italian restaurant, but I am saying you have to try this place at least once.
