While down in Monmouth County for a show in Asbury Park, I wandered over to Bradley Beach and walked in Marandola's. I had never heard of it but it was open and I was there. What a pleasant surprise it was! The menu was great and the cooking superb. It is a BYOB but there is an adequately stocked liquor store a few steps away. I did some research the next day to find out that Chef / Owner Mark Marandola also cooks at Scaleni Fideli and owns part of Porto Legerro in Jersey City. Definitely worth going to if you want a change up from the Asbury Park lineup.
