Excellent! This was my 1st time since they relocated years ago from Howell. Man, did I miss this place! Definitely back in the rotation. Chicken parm should get an award from the God's! Its up there with the best "Nonna" cutlets I have ever had. (Mouth watering writing this)

I came for a friend’s birthday dinner and it may have been one of the best places I’ve been to! The service was top notch and the food was worth speaking about! If there’s one recommendation I have it’s to get their gnocchi with braised short ribs! It was by far one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had and I still dream about it to this day! Run do not walk here, you won’t regret it!

Had my daughters first birthday party here after looking at multiple other restaurants. This restaurant had the nicest party room and the food was delicious. The day of the party, I was able to come early to decorate and set up. The owner and his family were very kind and helped set up the room and accommodated our requests. They continually checked in throughout the event to make sure we were happy and if we needed anything. The waitresses made sure we had enough food and the kids were all given kids meals which they loved. My guests raved about the chicken francese and baked clams. It was a great day and I felt very at peace knowing how helpful staff was and didn't have to worry about the party going smoothly. Definitely recommend Ruoccos!

We had an amazing family dinner. The food is of course delicious. Everything from the calamari to the meatball platter, the cacio e pepe and white clam linguini, the burrata and the sausage and potatoes.. yum! But beyond that, the wait staff was very attentive and helped us enjoy our meal even more. Isabelle the manger came often to check on us and the servers and cleaning crew tended to our needs, whether it was to remove a plate or give us a new utensil. We are stuffed and happy and will be back again :)

Title: A Hidden Gem in Manalapan! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Ruocco’s is hands-down one of the best Italian spots in the area. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming—it feels like a little piece of Brooklyn right in New Jersey. We started with the baked clams, which were perfectly seasoned, but the star of the show was definitely the Pink Panther penne vodka. It’s easily the best I’ve ever had. My partner had the Gnocchi with Braised Short Rib, and it was incredibly tender and flavorful. The fact that it’s BYOB is a huge plus, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. We finished with the Toasted Almond Cake and were blown away. Whether you're looking for a romantic date night or a great family meal, this is the place. Make sure to call ahead for a reservation, especially on the weekends!" Would you like me to tweak this to focus on something specific, like a private party or a meal in one of their outdoor igloos?

First time here, celebrating my sister's birthday. Loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, nice lighting and every table has a touch lamp. The service was excellent and the place was steady with people coming in and others leaving. Food was really really good, very tasty and pretty authentic, with what I ordered anyway. Staff was mostly Italian and seemed very family oriented... Great place to share a family meal and not feel like an outsider... Definitely would recommend!!

I am a person with severe Celiac Disease and can not have errors made in meals. We went to Ruoccos as they do list gluten free options and we had been there once before and had been satisfied. As always I order off the gluten free menu and we notify the server and ask questions. As aways I ordered gluten free and questioned the server to insure there would not be any issues. When our food was brough to the table the server mixed my meal up with another person. We questioned the server and assured us that the item she had placed in front of me was gluten free.... it was not... we were aware enough as to what each person had ordered and the fact that the meal placed in front of me was neither what I had ordered or in fact gluten free. After this issue was remedied we enjoyed a very good meal. Now we come to dessert. They had a brulee on the menu. Again they were questioned to insure that it would be gluten free. When it was servied it was topped with a Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolate which is not gluten free... so on two occasions in one evening their staff almost made me very ill. I do not know if it is lack of education on their part of just lack of caring but myself I think in the future, for my own safety, I will pass on this place.

Ruocco’s Restaurant was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The Italian eggrolls were amazing, the artichoke francese was outstanding, and the arancini rice balls with truffle sauce were next level delicious. The NY strip steak literally melted like butter, and the fried calamari was honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. The linguine with clam sauce was packed with flavor, and the orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe was perfection. Then came the homemade desserts… absolutely amazing! Even the sangria was delicious. We LOVE this family-owned restaurant. The atmosphere feels like sitting down for Sunday dinner at Grandma’s house. Warm, welcoming, and authentic Italian comfort food at its finest. A special shoutout to Gianna, our waitress, who was so friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Can’t wait to come back!
