If New Jersey has an official food, it’s probably pasta. The Garden State is the undisputed king of Italian food, and you can usually find an acclaimed old-school trattoria or pasta house on every street corner. However, some restauranteurs are trying to take that reputation to the next level. What does New Jersey pasta look like in 2024? It’s not just old standards – chefs like the team at Semolina in Red Bank are innovating using local ingredients! This cozy bistro specializes in the best farm-to-table pasta in NJ, using items sourced from local farms. You’ll find delicious sauced and stuffed pasta, hearty meat specials, and decadent desserts courtesy of a flexible menu that changes regularly – giving pasta fans all the reason they need to come back time and time again.

Located just feet away from Broad Street in Red Bank, Semolina is a cozy high-end Italian restaurant with an innovative menu.
