20 Best Italian Restaurants near Bethany Beach

“The service and food were equally excellent! One of our new favorite restaurants! The waitress was amazing and knowledgeable and personable.“

“The best way to describe the scene when you walk into DiFebo’s Market is that it’s like watching a choreographed dance (especially considering our visits were just days before Thanksgiving). On our first visit (for ice cream), we knew we’d be back soon for a meal. The unique flavors were so delicious and the market so fun that I forgot to take photos of each of our dishes. The chocolate orange was our favorite flavor with mint Oreo and berry poptart close seconds! When we walked in for our second visit (to get lunch and some pastries to go), we were immediately greeted by the server who scooped our frozen treats and remembered us as “the ice cream family” from yesterday. Though extremely busy, everyone at each counter was ready to answer questions and take our order. For lunch we selected several sandwiches for our group to share: Paninis: Di Brown’s Chicken & Brie and Caprese, Focaccia: Turkey & Cucumber, and 13” Mambos: Italian Cold Cut & Roma Chicken Caesar. The portions are generous, and we all were excited about the leftovers. While waiting for the paninis to be heated, we browsed the pastry counter and selected 6 pastries (how could we not?!). We especially appreciated the conversation about items that would be allergy friendly for one family member. After dinner we created a smorgasbord, splitting each pastry into 6; they were divine! I can’t recommend this local spot highly enough and only wish we lived closer, so I could visit more frequently.“

“Just to begin the staff there are extremely friendly. Always show off the orders to me before I take it out to ensure it’s right. The owners are incredible. Super friendly and always going the extra mile to ensure that their regular local customers are taken well care of. I would not doubt for a second that they provide the same service to tourists who visit for vacation during the summer. They are just those kind of people and I hope for the to have continued success!“

“I eat at Armand’s quite often and the food is excellent along with the service ❤️❤️I have never had a bad meal there ? Brian and Carlos are the nicest people .“

“This was our 1st visit to this restaurant so we ( party of 3) were very anxious to try it. Staff & owner are very nice & friendly. We were seated right awau as we had reservations. Appitizers of Mussels in wine, garlic & butter, served with crusty bread. Though the mussels were very tiny, the flavor was great.
Wedding soup was different but delicious. Salads were good & fresh.
1 Chicken Marsala, 2 spaghetti & meatballs were very good.
Our drinks of beer, wine & sangria were also great.
We are so happy we finally had dinner here & will look 4ward to
dining here again.

“Sofia's Italian Restaurant went above and beyond to make my surprise after-hours office get-together unforgettable. Sofia herself was an absolute delight, ensuring everything went smoothly and that we had a wonderful time. The food was incredible! The white clam sauce pizza was a standout—perfectly cooked, with a unique blend of flavors that left everyone raving. We also tried several other items off the appetizer menu, and each dish was fresh and flavorful. The warm hospitality and attention to detail truly set this place apart. If you're looking for great food and service with a personal touch, Sofia's Italia Restaurant is a must-visit! Thank you, Sofia, for making the evening so special. From your friends at RE/MAX Advantage Realty!“

“4.7 rating? No way 5.0 all day, I feel it’s the best Subs around anywhere. I’ve had a lot of great subs, but DeVitos wins all day! The bread is the best, I feel it’s what makes it so good and the ingredients is all top notch and they don’t load it up, just the perfect amount. If you are ever so lucky to have a DeVito’s sub, then you will understand!“

“So glad we decided to try Munchies Grill. We will definitely be back and spreading the word. Delicious food! Classic Cheesesteak was the best Philly Steak down this way...with that Cheese Whiz! Fair prices and fast, friendly delivery!“

“Great place to have a private gathering. The upstairs venue is set with a stage and side booths. Mio's food is excellent for both buffet or sit down service. The staff are efficient, professional and fun! As a local patron, I feel blessed to have them service our community.“

“We absolutely love this place! After moving here, it took us a while to find an Italian place we really enjoyed. We found Mio’s and have been thrilled ever since. The food and service are always great, even on hectic nights the servers and expeditors are always friendly and accommodating. Happy hour and lunch offer amazing deals and we enjoy the live music during happy hours (Bob Elliot has been a favorite!). And I promise, it’s totally worth it to get extra bread!!“

“Absolutely THE BEST Italian food in the Bethany area. The owner is delightful to talk with, and the place has a cool history as a gas station - of all things. Don't miss this place if you are in the area.

Update: Many years after the review above, Perucci's is in a new location, but the food and service are still the best. Love this place!“

“Pizza is great. Sussex county doesn’t know how to make pizza generally if you’re used to others. Other places are over rated. Only reason I did 4 stars not 5 is because their prices on specials don’t reflect the prices in the shop. Worker charged us more than what was on their website so double check your bill.“

“Great food and excellent service.“

“Had a mom-daughter date tonight and we loved everything right down to the fantastic service (thank you, Juliana!). I have been coming here for many years and it honestly never disappoints, but I had to take the time to post a recommendation- particularly since Juliana provided such good service.“

“Does anyone have the number to the ocean city md one ?“

“Went to see houses of the holy, great show, great beer menu and primo hoagies aside of them.“

“We just found Serendipity on a drive around the neighborhood. We love, love, loved it!!! The decor was fabulous and I could not stop finding new things to look at. We did not eat outside because of the weather, but they have two beautiful patios, both with views of the water. We booth ordered chicken Marsala and it was delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant!! ❤️“

“Great pies and get the cannoli!“

“One of our food items was wrong, ordered on line, thinking it got screwed up by the on line system, not the fault of 4 Brothers, but they immediately sent out the correct item. Really good to deal with, food was really good. Thanks!“

“My grandson 8 years old, was so excited to see a pizza place a short walk from our hotel. Since we were on vacation he had his favorite Pepperoni Pizza FOUR late nights in a row LOL. My wife & I had the veggie pizza a few times too. The small pizza was just the right size for a late night snack. The people there was great. We'll stop by again when we are in the area
PS he does not get his way for late night snacks when he is home :)“
