About
Welcome to Theresa's South where you will find authentic Italian cuisine with recipes that have been passed down through the generations. This is a family owned and operated business so they take great pride in everything that comes out of their kitchen. The food is excellent and the service is superb! They use only the finest and freshest of meats, seafood, produce, and ingredients. Everything is homemade, from their sauces and pastas to their salad dressings. The bread is baked locally and delivered fresh daily. The portions are very healthy to satisfy any appetite and the menu widely varied so there is something for all tastes. For dessert they feature fresh homemade banana bread pudding, or maybe a slice of homemade flourless chocolate cake! This is the place to enjoy a great meal, hang out with family and friends, and have some good conversation. They are available for private parties and can accommodate up to 100 people. This is a must try and will be your new favorite Italian restaurant. This is a BYOB establishment. ** There is additional parking available at the municipal parking lot off of Bridge Ave.

I absolutely adore the food here and during the pandemic we got takeout here quite a bit but the last time we ordered takeout I got a fairly large piece of broken dish cooked in my food and actually cut my lip when I bit into it. When we called the restaurant to let them know what had happened I got somebody who sounded like she was about 15 years old on the phone and clearly was not concerned or apologetic about what I was telling her... I wasn’t looking for a refund but I was hoping they would make me another dinner and deliver it because I wasn’t going to eat the food that I just found part of plate in.. The answer I got was we could drive back to the restaurant and pick up another meal in 45 minutes at that point it was after 8 PM and I was just disappointed ... Will probably try it again in the spring when they open back up but the owners definitely need to teach their employees about customer service

Was there twice while visiting the Jersey Shore. Wow! What an excellent place for an outstanding dinner! Highly recommend. Was there with two other friends and we all were delighted with the entrees and salads. The watermelon salad was perfect, just the right amount of ingredients and the spaghetti shrimp was delicious. The evenings both times were perfect weather wise and so enjoyable to have two different waiters each time. The first one was LuAnne and she was lovely. The second night was a young man who was impeccable with his service and personality. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed a fabulous Easter dinner in our home prepared by the lovely staff at Theresas. I placed our order by phone and picked it up Sunday at our requested time. The staff delivered the hot food to our car. We had tasty NE clam chowder with plenty of tender clams, filet, mahi and pasta. We also enjoyed key lime pie and chocolate lava cake. Although Easter was different this year we are glad we found Theresas and will order from them again and more importantly look forward to dining in their restaurant when we able to.

Ate there several years ago and it was delicious. Went yesterday with family for my birthday and was very disappointed! My $50 scallop dinner was undercooked ( yes I know how to cook scallops) and everyone else’s meal fell short of what was expected. To make things worse, every two minutes a bus boy asked to remove something from our table while some of us were still eating!! So, two appetizers and four entrees for $250 was the worst meal I’ve had in a long time. Happy birthday to me!

We had dinner with friends at Theresa's South last night. We were seated quickly and the first thing we noticed was that we could hear each other! Theresa's South is quieter than some of the other restaurants we have frequented in the area recently. Our server was LeeAnn and she was both very friendly and knowledgeable. Because of her allergies she couldn't recommend many of the dishes first hand, but she told us what were the most popular items on the menu (we appreciated her honesty). For appetizers we shared fried calamari , the crab cake and the eggplant pancake. For entree's we had a crab cake, the salmon, the gorgonzola filet and lobster pappardelle. We all thought the food was very good. That said the desert was to die for! LeAnn recommended the rocky road brownie with dulce de leche ice cream. We shared it and it was excellent. Glad we only ordered one!

Fabulous dinner at this BYOB restaurant - had an excellent waiter, Ryan, who worked hard to make sure we had a great dining experience. Meal was delicious - the portions are large and the menu a good representation of what you will get. We had the caprese antipasti and their special watermelon salad, the sweet potato gnocchi with braised short ribs - and the capellini with shrimp. A “must try” if you are in the area! (Thanks again, Ryan!!)

Our server, Christina, rocked as our server; very personable and pleasant. The most credit to the chef, Chano, who takes the ingredients and plates a really tasty entree. The pumpkin gnocchi with short ribs in beef sauce was tossed with greens, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes. Then the homemade fettuccine and sautéed plump medium shrimp in a chunky tomato sauce. I love that the sauces were not SALTY and the each dish was made fresh! Happy we stopped by Thanksgiving Eve in an off peak time. Very nice dining experience.

I do not recommend this restaurant. While the food was excellent, the server pressured us to conclude our dinner as rapidly as possible in order to turn over the table. There are too many other very good dining options at the Jersey Shore to put up with this unreasonable behavior!

Every trip to the shore we make it a point to hit up Theresa’s South. The dishes are always delicious and presented beautifully. The choice between outside or inside dining is great depending on your mood. They are BYOB with a wine store right next to the restaurant. Given a choice between other spots at the shore Theresa’s South is a must visit for all. The best calamari app by far along with fresh seafood and great pasta dishes. Can’t recommend enough it is our go to place every time we visit the area

Worst experience ever.After waiting for 1 hr for a salad .I went to see the manager. He told me he was very busy and backed up in the kitchen snd I should just go and sit down and chill out!no apologies nothing. I said he was so rude and should learn how to treat his customers he turned and walked away.I was stunned.I asked the hostess who was the owner,she said his brother 😞.will never be back.
