Jersey Fresh Tomatoes at Basil T's

It’s the time of year that is truly special when you’re talking about fresh tomatoes, especially in the Garden State (to be even more specific, in Red Bank).

There are two places in that hold possibly the greatest tomatoes in the world.  One of those places is San Marzano on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius in Italy.  The other location is New Jersey, and the local farms throughout the Garden State.

At Basil T’s Brewery and Italian Grill, the best Italian Restaurant in Red Bank, we get daily deliveries of Jersey tomatoes from local farmers.  They ripen in eye’s view and are used in many of our specialty salads.  The tomato bowl with Jersey tomatoes and cucumbers, red onion, calamata olives, red wine and extra virgin olive oil is an all time favorite.  The Caprese salad is an Italian summer time tradition, which  pairs Jersey tomato with hand rolled mozzarella, fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil, and a touch of sea salt.

As the tomatoes ripen more fully, they make their way to the kitchen and into every tomato based sauce that we make (how Italian food was meant to be— homemade).

Come enjoy a summer time favorite, were fresh is fresh and homemade is really homemade at The Original Basil T’s Brewery and Italian Grill in Red Bank New Jersey;  home of the best tomatoes and Italian food this side of Mount Vesuvius.
