Another one of the great foodie websites which carry a ton of weight with its opinions is Lovefood, and of course, in the past year, they have had their own thoughts on the best Italian restaurant in the Garden State, and they chose New Brunswick's, Catherine Lombardi.

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.
