Patricia's Downtown

Patricia’s Downtown in Toms River absolutely deserves a 10 out of 10 across the board—food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding. We started with the spicy shrimp appetizer, which was packed with flavor and the perfect way to kick off the meal. For our entrees, we had the chicken parm—crispy, tender, and generously portioned—and the lobster pasta, which was rich, creamy, and loaded with lobster. Every bite was incredible. The service was warm, attentive, and perfectly paced. The atmosphere is cozy yet upscale, making it a great spot for a special night out or a relaxing dinner with friends. Compliments to the chef for a truly memorable meal—we'll definitely be back!

Im going to be fully transparent. Service and atmosphere are great. Our first visit wasn’t so excellent for all 13 of us but the restaurant manager, Melissa called us and after she spoke with the owner, Sal and invited us back. The service was once again - excellent and the atmosphere was really nice. They had two guys playing soft jazzy covers which was at just the right level. Very nice for a date night, small family dinner or special occasion. We ordered the sausage and broccoli rabe again because it was good the first time and again this time. My brother liked his chicken parm last time and my husband got it and agreed. He said he would totally come back for the chicken parm and tiramisu. I ordered the special - stuffed pork chop and it was good - but I really should have just orde

I’m from up north and dare I say I know good food. This place is just wonderful in every regard. I can’t believe they even spend so much on quality containers for take-out and delivery. When is the last time you saw USA made containers that snap shut that well? I appreciate the little things like that! It shows care, attention to detail and respect for customers. And the food? Fuhgeddaboudit!! Delicious and CONSISTENT. Same flavor you remember and crave. Every. Time. Thank you to the team who’s running this show. So happy to have something this good nearby. You know what you’re doing!

The atmosphere is pretty and decorated pretty for Christmas. They bring out a nice bread with spicy oil that was good. We opted for chicken Milanese and grilled chicken with spicy rigatoni that was delicious! The staff was nice and polite. We just feel they could be more attentive like we requested paper napkins and the water went empty for a long time. Definitely will visit again.

Came here for a birthday dinner and unfortunately left very disappointed. Bullet points: - BYOB - fees - not quiet! - food is oily and mediocre - service rushes It is BYOB, but we weren't given an ice bucket to keep our white wine cold. Not that we needed it (explained later.) There is a 3.29% service fee on the receipt. They will charge it for debit cards, too, which I was under the impression that's illegal. There is nothing in there to absorb all the noise, so if you have sensory issues this is not the place. Both of us are constantly at concerts and this was overwhelming. We couldn't talk to each other comfortably. The bolognese ($24) looked more of a vodka sauce than tomato and had way too much oil in it. His gnocchi ($24) was a good sauce, but the gnocchi itself tasted like it c
