And my absolute favorite choice for this list is this amazing family Italian restaurant in the heart of beautiful Point Pleasant Boro that has been around since 1966 making thrilled customers feel like they are eating the best homemade Italian food from the kitchens of their childhood. Graziano's Italian Restaurant is magical and shouldn't be missed.
