Can't help but think o fthe New Brunswick standby's...not going to get anything too gourmet at LA FONTANA , and PANICO's , while a little more cutting edge, certainly wont' qualify as "gourmet" La Fontana can be very romantic..call them and tell them aobut your special ocassion.

Just my two cents, but having been to La Fontana a few times for business lunches and dinners, I think it's much more about the ambience and 'fussiness' of service than it is about the food. I will say that the service has always been extremely attentive, though.

Kim, have you had great meals there? I've been wholly underwhelmed.

You could try Piero's on Rt 36 in Union Beach. Nice spot with good Italian food. Very nice "feel" about the place, attentive white glove service.

Well, the poster seemed to want ambiance as a priority.

I notice a marked difference between lunches and business dinners, versus "dinner for two" for speicail occassions..the roses for the ladies, the grappa..they can really pull out the stops. I have had wonderful meals at La Fonatana, when I have stuck to the more classic Italian selections, ie francaise, scallopine, marsala.
