Fatti a Mano Restaurant Pizza – 5+ Stars!
I recently had an amazing experience at Fatti a Mano in Avenel, NJ, and I have to say, their food is absolutely fantastic! From the appetizers to the main courses, everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
Buffalo Chicken Pizza – Hands down, one of the best I’ve ever had! The crust was the perfect balance of crispy on the outside and soft inside, with just the right amount of chew. The buffalo sauce had a great kick, and the chicken was tender and well-seasoned. The cheese and ranch (or blue cheese) drizzle tied everything together perfectly.
Grandma Pizza – Classic and delicious! The thin, square-cut slices had a beautifully crisp bottom, with a rich and slightly sweet tomato sauce layered perfectly over fresh mozzarella and basil. This is exactly how a Grandma pizza should be!
Chicken Wings – These wings were a real standout. Perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining juicy inside, and they had just the right amount of sauce to keep them flavorful without being too messy. Whether you like them mild or spicy, they won’t disappoint!
Chicken Marsala – A fantastic take on this Italian classic. The chicken was tender and cooked just right, and the Marsala sauce was rich, savory, and full of deep, earthy mushroom flavor. Served with pasta, this dish was pure comfort food.
Calamari – Light, crispy, and not greasy at all! The batter was seasoned well, and the calamari itself was tender (not chewy, which can sometimes be an issue). It paired perfectly with the marinara sauce on the side.
Overall, everything we tried was top-notch. The service was friendly and efficient, and the portions were generous. If you’re in the Avenel area and looking for great Italian food, Fatti a Mano is the place to go! I highly...
Read moreHighly recommended items- chicken bruschetta pizza, the spaghetti & meatballs, and expresso.
Food & Service- Both were pretty great - will come back.
I’ve been here a couple of times, one for dine in and one for take out. Will definitely come back. This is a bit of a hidden gem waiting to be cut and polished. This place is small, interior & lighting is bright and clean. You’ll likely be greeted by the owner, Afrim, as you walk in. Immediately, you’ll be welcomed warmly by him and his enthusiasm & love for his restaurant and the food that comes out of his kitchen - which is something that i can appreciate.
This is a place where u can grab a couple slices off their display but they seem to excel their made to order selections. My personal favorites so far were the chicken bruschetta pizza and the spaghetti and meatballs.
The flavor of the chicken bruschetta pizza was out of the world, it must be the sauce - 10/10. Ingredients overall- nothing to fault , it was that good. The crust , i’d give it a 9/10 - though i had it to-go, it was still pretty good.
Spaghetti and meatballs, an unusual item to select when trying out a pizzaria for the first time, but no regrets. What stood out the most was the meatballs- tender , juicy, flavorful. Don’t sleep on it and give in to the craving. They also have an expresso machine which is a pleasant surprise.
This definitely is a place...
