San Remo in Shrewsbury, NJ - feedback?

[basil4me]

Can anyone share their feedback on San Remo restaurant located on Newman Springs Road right outside of Red Bank? I've driven past it many times and wondered how the food is. Thank you chowhounders!

I haven't been there in a couple years but it's one of the better/best Italian byo's I've been to.

Thank you for the feedback, I will definately put San Remo on my Sunday afternoon calendar!

This is a great place to eat. Tops in our area. BYOB is a great attraction. The seafood salad for two is not to be missed if any is made that day. It' may not appear on the menu. Chicken and veal franchese are my favorites. They attract parties of 10-20 which tax the kitchen at times. I usually go early Saturday (5PM) or Sunday. I fact I will be there this Sunday.

Wasn't San Remo scheduled to relocate to Red Bank in the last year or so?

[Papa Bing]

Good question, equal. I vaguely remember hearing something about that.

I had heard they were moving to the old Little Kraut location near the Red Bank train station. The building was under some major construction about a year ago and has stalled since that time. If you drive by currently it sits half gutted. I don't know what the problems were but that's all I know about it.

It was scheduled but it appears to me as I drive by that they remodeled the exterior of the original restaurant. This makes me think that the move is not taking place. I haven't seen any news items on this.

It has a solid reputation for serving good food…..I have dined there in the past and have always been satisfied. Unfortunately for me it’s a BYOB which is a detraction for me when dining out so I don’t go nearly as often as I would if they served alcohol. If your in the area and want good Italian food and don’t want to have to put up with the Red Bank scene this is your spot. (and don’t mind bringing your own bottle of course)
