8 Best Italian Restaurants near Atlantic Beach

“What a treat for our family. This place was recommended to us for the great food and service. The place is small but the food and service is tremendous! The owner was gracious and the server Felicia was fantastic. This feels like a small, family owned gem. The Italian vinaigrette is not to be missed.“

“My family and I LOVE Roma pizza! It’s our absolute favorite every time we’re in AB. The garden salad with their house italian dressing is amazing and their pizzas are incredible. This may be my favorite pizza spot of all time and I miss it during the off season!“

“True New York pizza joint!!!! This place summed up: Great Pizza, Rude staff, cramped limited seating, with trash/bottles/cans stored in the open in a mess everywhere. Like NYC pizza joints? This is your spot! Smells great when you walk in, limited crappy menu options the wall. The older lady at the counter is rude and acts like it ruins her day when you walk in, with one word answers and stares at you. She rolls her eyes at me because I asked for an extra topping.This place is very clean but cramped with almost no seating, small booths/tables, and ingredients and drinks just aired out in the open. 1 crappy small TV you can't hear up in the corner and the guys in the back are mad and yelling at each other. The pizza is large sized, heavy on grease and tastes AMAZING!!!! Tons of parmaseaon cheese and other pizza amenities at the tables and on the back wall. This place is straight out of NYC and it is absolutely recommended!!!!“

“Got takeout last night from Luigi's and was more than happy with our order. Pizza was delicious with plentiful fresh toppings and tender crust, and Philly cheesesteak was packed with tender beef, peppers and cheese on a soft hoagie. Sooo good! But don't fall asleep on those cannolis. Crunchy shell with a not-too-sweet filling was the finishing touch to our meal. One employee was taking our order while the other employees repeated our order back to him as they were cranking out other customers pies. Was worth the short wait for stellar food. Glad we found this gem!“

“This Gem makes you feel like you are at the beach. Great service and excellent food!!. I highly recommend the Kraken Burger with a side of fries. The burger was perfect and the fries were perfectly crisped.My wife ordered a Calzone. It did not disappoint!!!Wheelchair accessibility: Flat surface from parking to door.“

Our Australian friends notes it was one of the best Italian dinners they had ever had….Great service and great atmosphere….this is a must visit!!! Great food…..“

“Chef Carlo, it was so incredible to see you yesterday and celebrate my Birthday dinner at your restaurant. We miss you so much being in Raleigh, NC.The service and meal was exquisite ?. And to have you come out of the kitchen say hi and introduce us to your wine from Italy. We felt very appreciated. And of course your attention to details and incredible combination of flavors are second to none.God Bless you my friend and continue to making people happy by your unique talents!“

“The food was great, the service was great and the atmosphere was good. It did take extra time to get our food, which our server was very kind about it and kept us updated. It wasn't a big deal. I wish it hadn't cut into our putting our son to bed time, but things happen. We will DEF go again because things happen that you can't control, especially in restaurant kitchens. Thanks!“
