⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ La Mondina in Brielle is absolutely amazing! We came to celebrate my younger sister’s 19th birthday, and everything from start to finish was perfect. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and elegant — the perfect spot for a special night out. The food was outstanding, from the tender, flavorful squid to the rich and perfectly cooked veal parmigiana. You can taste the quality and care in every bite. Our waiter, Shawn, made the evening even better with his friendly, attentive service. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful time. We left with full hearts and full stomachs, already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

I recently had my sister bridal shower in the banquet room and it was absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend this restaurant anymore not only for the beauty of it, but the staff and food were absolutely amazing. I had the pleasure of working with Brianna, the event coordinator, and she was so receptive and responsive. She was so accommodating to anything I asked. The team itself was incredible. Anytime we asked for anything, they were on top of it. Highly recommend for an event!!

Fantastic dinner. Had to make a reservation well in advance, but it was so worth it. Beet salad was incredible. Bread was light as air and the best I’ve had at an Italian restaurant in AWHILE. my husband and I both enjoyed our meals and I completely forgot to grab a picture but the bolognese was out of this world. Took awhile as they were very busy, but so good.

Very deceiving from the outside, doesn't look that big but it very clean and spacious inside, compete with upstairs banquet room. Creatively and beautifully decorated- service was phenomenal ......everything we ordered was very good....!!

La Mondina was a wonderful reception for my son's wedding. It was very classy, the food was amazing, the atmosphere was romantic and exciting. The staff is enthusiastic and attentive, very knowledgeable of their menu and what they have to offer. The mixologists were spectacular. The in-house photographer, you can't find any better. The pricing is exactly right. Everything about this special restaurant and its venue is perfect. It's an intimate setting that is very beautiful and tranquil. I recommend La Mondina to anyone who loves Italian food and a beautiful atmosphere. Parking is ample and has handicap accessibility. There are special menus for toddlers and young children available upon request, and even the smallest of details was managed impeccably. Hats off to the staff and the owners of La Mondina. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I would also like to add that the bathrooms were impeccably clean with accommodating baby changing stations in both men and women's rooms. There is also a large enclosed area just as you enter the restaurant it has a water fountain and lots of places for the children to play. It was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it.

Had such a great time here on friday! Immediately got seated for our reservation and our server Andrea made sure to take great care of us, being very attentive and checking in. The food was so so amazing everything was as described. The atmosphere was upbeat and everyone around us looked so happy to be there. I got one of the specials Pappardelle with braised brisket ragu. I think it was by far one of the best pasta dishes i’ve ever had. Unfortunately due to some miscommunication, I was not given my leftovers which I was very excited about but I would definitely return again.

Great place. We had such a wonderful experience here, it was our first time for my husband and I. The service was amazing, they always made sure to remove empty plates and bring clean silverware. Now days is hard to find places where the service keeps up and always courteous. The food was amazing too. We ordered the special which was the lamb which was perfectly cooked, it pretty much melt and the pork chop was to die for, a little spicy. The Calamari was very good. I also recommend the Gnocchi which was delicious and the penne a la vodka so creamy and so good.
