The dining area is sleek but rustic, with exposed brick and rich woods warmed by candlelight and soft golden glows from low-hanging fixtures. There\u2019s always a hum of elevated energy in the restaurant: friends catching up over espresso martinis, date nights unfolding over shared plates of pasta, and families celebrating special milestones with desserts that have sparklers in them. It\u2019s the kind of place that makes dinner feel like a special occasion, even if it wasn\u2019t supposed to be one.<\/p>\n<p>Between\u00a0 the main dining areas, the bar, or on the patio \u2014 there is no bad spot to enjoy a meal at La Mondina. The enclosed patio is heated during the colder months and fan-cooled during the <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/jersey-shore-beaches-nj\/\">warmer months<\/a>, and it is equipped with retractable side panels to protect from the elements and retain heat.<\/p>\n<p>La Mondina is not the kind of Jersey Shore restaurant you can wear your beach cover-up and flip-flops into, though. The restaurant leans more upscale, and dress-casual attire is preferred + requested.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/best-restaurants-bars-jersey-shore-new-jersey-off-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">19 Jersey Shore Restaurants + Bars to Visit Before the Summer Rush<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Food + Drink<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-177489\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>La Mondina is an Italian eatery serving up comfort food, such as risotto and pasta, paired with a carefully curated list of wines and craft cocktails. The menu\u2019s antipasti options include meatballs, steamed mussels, calamari, and eggplant fritta. Pasta options include tagliatelle bolognese, cacio e pepe, cavatelli and clams, and gnocchi with black truffle cream \u2014 just to name a few. Stand-out main plates from the menu are pan-roasted salmon, crispy fried veal chop, and branzino. A local favorite is La Mondina\u2019s Sunday Gravy, which is, of course, served exclusively on Sundays, with rigatoni or spaghetti. Its extensive drink menu includes cocktails, <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/best-jersey-shore-wineries\/\">wines<\/a>, tap beer, bottled beer, bottled cider, and zero-proof alcohol free cocktail options.<\/p>\n<p>La Mondina\u2019s entire menu is labeled for food allergies or dietary restrictions, such as gluten-free, contains nuts, vegetarian, and vegan. All of the risotto options on the menu are gluten-free. The restaurant\u2019s vegan bolognese and gluten-free potato gnocchi is such a fan favorite that it may never leave its menu.<\/p>\n<h3><i>JSG<\/i>\u2019s La Mondina Order<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-177490\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-1-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-1-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-1-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-1-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-1-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/la-mondina-italian-restaurant-brielle-nj-2-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Old Money Cocktail made with gin, <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/best-jersey-shore-farms-gardens\/\">lavender<\/a> earl grey honey, benedictine, lemon, and club soda \u2014<i> a seasonal special<\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Meatballs made with veal, pork, + beef, marinara, pecorino romano, ricotta, + basil \u2014 <i>do not skip this app<\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Parmesan truffle fries \u2014 <i>IYKYK<\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Roasted beets salad \u2014 <i>we added breaded chicken breast\u00a0<\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Vegan bolognese + gluten-free potato gnocchi made with Impossible bolognese, cashew ricotta, and basil \u2014 <i>had to double check with the waitress that it was actually V + GF, it was so delicious we were suspicious\u2026<\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Rigatoni A La Norma with roasted eggplant, onion, oregano, plum tomato, and ricotta salata \u2014 <i>*chef\u2019s kiss*<\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Lemon + pistachio sorbetto \u2014 <i>the lemon is vegan + both are refreshing and delicious<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Host Your Next Celebration<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;
