25 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.“

“Had the best sandwich I've ever had in my life (Prosciutto Cotto Creamy Stracchino Mambo) here while on vacation, and the pastries were great too! They offer yesterday's pastries that didn't get sold at a good discount and we got a blueberry cinnamon roll that was amazing! The place was definitely packed but we got our orders very quickly and had a seat inside the store to devour our orders. I wish I could eat here every day!!“

“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 .“

“Not the greatest pizza around but Grotto’s are more than pizza.
It’s about family and making memories on hungry impulses.
The staff aren’t super talkative during the day hours so you get to spend more time chopping it up with your uncles and cousins over some decent pizza 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒🍕
Definitely a fun sit-down spot… but would NOT recommend just grabbing take-out from here!“

“The food was served hot and everything was delicious. The service was great too. Would highly recommend this place.

“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!“

“My wife and I had dinner on Friday night. We did have reservations and glad we did because it was packed. I had the seafood diavolo and my wife had chicken cacciatore. Food was hot, perfectly done, and great presentation. Portions are generous. The past is freshly made and cooked perfectly!! Enjoyed talking with Vincenzo, the owner. We will return.“

“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!“

“A shout out to Albertino’s - the food is fantastic and the staff are wonderful! Highly recommend.“

“If you’re in OCMD, this place is a must try! From the incredible wine to the flavorful homemade salad dressings to the incredibly tasty (and unique) main dishes and desserts, this place served, by far, THE BEST authentic Italian food I’ve ever had. Or maybe just the best food in general! The service was also amazing. Our server, Meagan, was so attentive! For the hour we were here, we were literally transported to Italy by way of our tastebuds! This place will definitely be on our must-visit rotation when we come here for vacation! 👏🏻“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and excellent service.“

“👍We just moved to Maryland and heard about Mio Fratello. It is such a nice place. The food was awesome and shareable. The prices were also very good. It's not a complaint at all but it would be nice if they had Cappuchino, Espresso and baked clams on the menu. Aside from that, it was an excellent experience and we will definitely be returning. This is a must go to place.“

“We recently dined at Perucci’s Italian Restaurant and had a great experience. The food was solid, with authentic flavors and generous portions that hit the spot. The service was equally impressive—attentive, friendly, and efficient, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. If you’re in the area and craving Italian, I definitely recommend giving Perucci’s a try!“

“Should extend delivery. More than 5 miles. I order a lot and don’t want to go out every time I’m literally 7.5 miles away…. And the cheese for the cheese fries is always cold I have ordered 3 different times and it was cold every time, no bueno besides that everything else is good…the pizza is awesome! Cheesesteaks are one to compete with!“

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

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

“If you haven't tried Serendipity yet, you’re missing out! The atmosphere is truly wonderful—we sat on the deck overlooking the bay, and it was just perfect. The wait staff was equally amazing. Though I didn’t catch our server's name, she worked on Friday night, September 6th, and went above and beyond by helping my husband, who had recently broken his hip, get comfortably seated on the deck and back inside when we were done.

A special shout-out to the kitchen staff for their thoughtful touch—they boxed up our stromboli and even cut a little spot out for the marinara sauce. Speaking of the sauce, it was so thick and delicious that we spooned it onto our stromboli with a fork—without spilling a drop!

And the stromboli? Absolutely incredible. It was so good, I ended up writing a poem about it! It easily serves three people, but trust me, order a whole one for yourself so you can enjoy leftovers. You won’t regret it!

Ode to the Perfect Stromboli

In the oven, warm and bright,
Lies a stromboli, pure delight,
Golden crust with edges curled,
A savory dream, a doughy world.

Inside, cheese melts, gooey bliss,
Pepperoni brings its spicy kiss,
Folded layers, tucked with care,
A feast of flavors, rich and rare.

The steam escapes with a gentle sigh,
As mozzarella strings wave goodbye,
Each bite a burst of dough and spice,
Oh, Stromboli, you're beyond nice.

With every crunch, the soul ignites,
Tomato sauce in perfect bites,
No sandwich, pizza, roll can be
As perfect as this Stromboli.

So raise a slice, and take a cheer,
For this creation, oh so dear,
A meal, a joy, a masterpiece,
This stromboli brings pure peace!“

“I highly recommend the Squarz Pizza and Restaurant. We ordered the Artisan Meathead Pizza and it was delicious! Will definitely be going back to try other items on their menu!!“

“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!“

“I tried to call the restaurant and place an order but was disconnected and decided to order online. Nothing special just a couple salads and some wings. Food was ready when we arrived and food was good. Employees were not great. Asked for my name and then asked if I had paid? I told them I ordered online. They continued to ask questions about my order such as did I call, how did I place my order? I already gave them the information!!! I told them if they would answer the phone I would have ordered by phone but that wasn’t possible so I ordered Online! They were not easy to deal with and need some customer service training.“
