“The calamari was the best I’ve had, the portion was huge and could have been a main course. The outside dining was awesome and the service was outstanding. Very accommodating to my wife’s garlic allergy. Would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you“

“very good, simple, Italian food, a throwback to the neighborhood Italian restaurants I grew up around. Moderately priced. They do not use the same marinara for all dishes, but tailor it for the particular dish! Only slight negatives: the place is in desperate need of a renovation; some of the staff are great, others, not so. Caution: The menu shown on this site is not from this restaurant.“

“We’ve been customers of Grandpa Mac since they were on Baltimore Avenue years ago. Each time we are in Rehoboth or Ocean City, we make time to stop and get our favorite, The Fun Guy, with sausage. The portions are huge, the cheese sauce is delicious, and we always leave happy and full. Our favorite place to stop and eat. Highly recommend!“

“If you are a lover of fine food, excellent wine and amazing music, I highly recommend this one of a kind experience.“

“If you think Red,White & Basil is just an Italian restaurant, try their new menu...the New York strip was delicious!!!“

“outstanding pizza, loved the ground sausage,and cheesesteaks amazing!“

“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!“

“We enjoyed our pizza as an evening treat. Great staff and great food!“

“This place is so very good and recommend it if you are not from here.“

“Yes!! A true pizza spot here in Rehoboth. New owner truly cares about the product and is a pizza enthusiast to the core. Crust has great crunch and doesn't bloat the belly. If you know great pizza, give this spot a go! Very very happy to have found you!“

“Looks like they remodeled recently. It's really nice. We were a group after a funeral viewing and our waitress was amazing. I wish I could remember her name but I do remember a tattoo on her leg. Whatever her name is. She was super sweet and very attentive to us. The pizza was great. It made a very challenging situation. Much more pleasant. Thank you guys for everything.

Vegetarian options: I'm married to a vegetarian and it looked to have a good selection of toppings. It's mainly a pizza restaurant. I don't know if they had any vegan choices.“

“Grotto Pizza is a must-visit for pizza lovers! The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that sets the stage for a great meal. Their signature swirl pizza is not only unique but incredibly delicious, with a perfect blend of tangy sauce, gooey cheese, and a crispy crust that hits all the right notes. The menu offers a wide variety of options, from classic favorites to creative specialty pizzas, ensuring there's something for everyone.

The staff at Grotto Pizza are friendly and efficient, making the dining experience even better. Whether you're dining in, taking out, or ordering for delivery, the quality is consistently top-notch. It’s a great spot for families, friends, or anyone craving a satisfying, flavorful pizza. Five stars!“

“Take it from a North Jersey guy; the best pizza I've tried in Slower Lower. Specialty pizzas are great too. Try the cheesesteak pie or Grandma pie. Awesome sandwiches also, and the Texas fries are cheesy-bacony goodness.“
