I hope you had a great weekend. Once again, happy Mother's Day to all of the loving mothers around the Jersey Shore. 'Thank You' for doing what you do. Your love and dedication never go unnoticed.

On top of it being Mother's Day weekend, I was also celebrating my girlfriend's nephew's communion. The rainy Saturday did not stop us from having a fun gathering at one of Ocean County's best Italian restaurants. This well-known eatery is located on Main St. in Forked River. Most importantly, this spot makes of the Jersey Shore's best baked ziti dishes...

Shoutout to Mario's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria. This was my first Mario's experience, and it won't be my last. Many will agree, the service, prices, and the food at Mario's, are all fabulous. It's not your fanciest Italian restaurant in Ocean County, but who cares! Mario's is delicious, and it's a perfect spot for cozy family celebration.

The baked ziti at Mario's is incredible too. It's one of the best baked ziti dishes in Ocean County. Do you agree?! Literally, I am sitting at work, writing this article and daydreaming about the leftovers I have waiting for me in my refrigerator. I NEED IT NOW!
