I recently had the pleasure of dining at what can only be described as a culinary paradise.

Amazing! From the atmosphere to the service and the food, it is an insult to call it food. It’s tantalizing to your taste buds.

We had my daughter in law to be’s bridal shower there this weekend. Top notch service and atmosphere. One dish was better than the next. A very creative menu! It was an enjoyable experience and we will be going there again for other occasions or just an intimate dinner!

From Bread w/ spread , to the apps and meal this place is a home run. Located in the heart of downtown Freehold you will not be disappointed. A legendary place which was a place for the STAR’S & Many GANGSTERS. Frank Sinatra and many others patronized this place LEGENDARY PLACE. Service is exceptional and is a BYOB. They do have a selection of local wine that are pretty good.

Last night my husband and a few friends of ours decided to go out for a late dinner and stumbled upon La Cipollina in Freehold.

Had another wonderful dining experience at this lovely restaurant. This time we were celebrating our anniversary. We have dined here about 5 or 6 times and it’s been consistently excellent. This is not the place to go if you want something fast and cheap or if you like loud music and not being able to hear each other. However if you want delicious food, a lovely atmosphere in which you are not rushed, good service and soft music playing in the background (it’s Italian so think Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Andrea Bocelli) then this is the place to have an enchanted evening.

I recently ordered take-out from La Cipollina, and I have to say, the food was absolutely delicious. The risotto with mushrooms was perfectly cooked, with a creamy texture and a rich, earthy flavor that was simply amazing. The bolognese pastas were also a delight, with a hearty sauce that was bursting with savory flavors. The food was definitely the highlight of my experience at La Cipollina.

My wife showed me a photo of their pasta the night before, and it looks attractive. We decided to go next day for dinner. The realized qualify is much more impressive than the photo. The sea food combo is also great, and I hope they can serve with a little bit more rice. I will try other dishes and give more feedback later~

Extremely disappointing experience. Came in as a group of 4 on a Sat night to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant is advertised as being open until 11pm and so we made a reso for 9pm. This restaurant fancies itself as fine dining, however, they miss the mark on all necessary qualities other than the server wearing a suit. To begin, the underaged back server could not answer any of our questions and did not have the ability to open the spring water that we ordered, so I opened it for her. We then had to ask for bread, or it would not have been served. We attempted to order appetizers first but were told by the 16-year-old waiter that we had to put in our entire order, so we did. Minutes later, everything other than the entrees was brought to the table. We asked for the kitchen to slow down the pace, and we were told no. We had so many dishes on the table there was no room for anything else. We were forced to utilize the unoccupied tables next to us. I personally ordered a pasta course, prior to my entrée and of course they were both brought out simultaneously. The entrees were unpalatable. The chicken Milanese tasted like it was deep fried in the same oil that McDonalds cooks their French fries in. The seafood over parm risotto dish was swimming in so much water that it should have been advertised as a soup. The rigatoni was just bad, and the filet was flavorless and they were sure to top it with extra mushrooms after it was asked to have no mushrooms! We brought our dissatisfaction to the attention of the waiter who then admitted to us that the staff had purposely rushed our service because they were tired from working a party at 9 am. We offered our constructive criticism to the young boy who seemed to be the only staff member left in the restaurant. There was no supervisor or adult present. I paid the nearly $500 tab, the surprise 4% credit card fee, left 20% for the server, and did not even bother to order dessert. This restaurant is an embarrassment to fine dining. Overpriced, unpalatable food, and they have 16-year-olds running the place. How embarrassing. Will never return.
