If you're looking for a delicious Italian meal presented to you with excellent service than this is the restaurant. What the building lacks in style and ambiance the food and staff surely make up for. My husband has tried the penne a la vodka at every restaurant in Monmouth county that offers it (even a few in Middlesex county) and he believes by far Lubrano's 36 has the best. If you're a fan of clams then don't sleep on the clams casino appetizer because the broth is absolutely magical. The same servers have been working here for years which tells me they are treated well by management and the owner. If you're hungry and you want Italian, go to Lubranos. You won't be disappointed. P.s. one block away is the best ice cream in Middletown--Polar Bear Ice Cream.

I came here Saturday night for dinner as one of my friends raved how good the Italian food here was. For appetizer I ordered the raspberry fields salad which was a salad with strawberries, pears, orange segments, and blue cheese in a raspberry vinaigrette. It was good, but quite honestly, I really wasn't looking to order a salad here. I felt they didn't offer many appetizers at all even though they had an extensive dinner selection. It would be a good idea for them to expand their appetizer selection and add mozzarella in carozza, spiedini, eggplant rollatini, and stuffed mushrooms. For entree I ordered the veal Parmesan, and that dish was 5 stars! The red sauce had so much flavor, and the veal melted in my mouth. It was so tender and delicious! I wish they gave a little more rigatoni with the dish because the sauce was so good I just wanted to taste some more! For dessert I had a chocolate ganache cake which was good, but one suggestion I'd like to add is not to put the crumbled graham crackers on top as it took away from the velvety, smooth chocolate feel. It still was good though, and I'd definitely order it again. This place is very loud inside especially on a Saturday night as the place was packed. I'm so happy I dined at Lubrano's 36 as the veal parmesan exceeded my expectations! I definitely will come again to try some more dishes, but the one thing that would prevent me to come as often as I'd like is the limited appetizer selection. Please Lubrano's add some of the Italian classics that I'd mentioned! I highly recommend dining at Lubrano's 36 in Middletown for a delicious, casual Italian meal!

As a seasoned Italian cuisine consumer- the prices are fair, the food is delicious, the olive oil is ridiculous. Service was great. Etc. I don't have anything negative to say. If they were a little cheaper for the same portion I'd give 5 stars.
Never had a bad meal here (disclaimer I never ever eat seafood) -

This place is incredible. Husband and I got their shrimp and scallop special and veal parmigiana. Everything was piping hot and full of flavor. The scallops were some of the best we've ever had. Tina was our waitress and she was so friendly and attentive. Gotta love a great BYOB place. 5 stars
